Re: Hotpoint FF78 Fridge warm / Freezer cold

🙁 Back sooner than I’d hoped, the fridge warmed up again. I think the fridge was cooling while the freezer was cooling, but now the freezer temperature is low, the fan is switched off. It works for a few minutes if I open and shut the fridge door.

Is is worth trying the evaporator thermistor (with yellow plug)? (May be time to concede defeat & just buy a new one.)

Fridgetastic, many thanks Nige – fridge has just cooled to 5 degrees; hopefully defrost timer is still working and I’ve got a working fridge again!

Very counter-intuitive that you replace a freezer thermocouple to stop fridge from warming, will visit here again! 😀

Re: Hotpoint FF78 Fridge warm / Freezer cold

Thanks for quick reply; I will order a freezer thermistor through the site & see if it works. Not quite sure how it will physically help cool air move up through the pipe to the fridge, when there appears to be no obstruction & fan is working, but will look for generic diagram for this type of FF for explanation. De-fluffing has unfortunately not made a difference.

Thanks for helping a stranger lost in the world of refrigeration!
