Re: Hotpoint Mistral not cooling BOTH compartments
It was transported on it’s back and was left for about 14 hours before it was switched on.
Re: Indesit BAN12NF clicks and shuts down
I just replaced the relay on the card but it did not fix the problem, if anyone can suggest what else may be wrong on the card please leave a response, this seems to be a problem on this machine and Hotpoint so someone probabaly knows what is causing the fault. I will be obliged to scrap this fridge if I can’t find a solution, which is a real shame.
Re: Hotpoint FFP187B power turning on and off
I just replaced the relay on the control board of my Indesit which has exactly the same problem but it did not work. Fridge starts up OK and compressor seems to run fine, then after a few minutes the clicking starts and it shuts down after about 30 seoconds, I can feel the compressor rapidly stopping and starting in sequenece with the clicking.. I don’t want to spend more money on the fridge than it is worth, so if anyone knows what else may be wrong on the conrol bard or elsewhere please reply otherwise unfortunately this otherwise nice two year old fridge freezer will be off to the dump.
Re: Repetitive clicking behind control panel
I have confirmed that the 12V relay on the board is cycling so I can source a replacement part and solder a new one onto the board, my I am concerned that the relay is perhaps working correctly and it is the input signal that is the problem, but I don’t know what the relay input and output is controlling? I tried the fridge again today and the fan runs when the door is opened the light comes on and the fan stops then after a few minutes the clicking starts and when it stops the fridge seems dead and the light no longer comes on, presumably the relay is giving a signal to the compressor ?
Re: Hotpoint FFP187B power turning on and off
I have posted a problem I have on an Indesit fridge freezer model BAN12NF which has exactly the same problem, maybe the board is the same one ? The fridge is two years old and the original owner tells me he had this happen under warranty and the call out technician did some “adjustment” to the board but did not replace it, his theory is that transporting the fridge may have moved the board and started the problem again. ? I did get a support line suggestion to check the solder connections on the bioard and re-solder those on the relays ?? The board looks like it costs 80 pounds which is probably more that the fridge is worth so I would also be very interested in any “fix” solution.
