Re: Hotpoint FFA70P – Fridge Freezer – compressor on/off
If you listen near the compressor if the compressor makes a clicking noise when it cuts out then it will be the compressor.
If the compressor cuts out without making a clicking noise the check the power from the PCB.

Re: LG FRIDGE FREEZER
Have you checked if the auger motor is turning.
If you take out the ice container you can check if the motor is turning .

Re: Name of white probe in freezer unit (Schreiber APM6855)
Both models have a digital display.
The model you have is the APM6855/0
Make sure you turn off the mains supply as the wires remain live
You can use the APM6855/1 sensor you just have to cut off the plug on the new sensor and just connect the old wires to the new sensor.
Do not use a connector block as this will change the resistance.
It is a simple job to join the wires and insulate them.
You can buy a cheap crimping tool complete with a selecton of connectors in most Pound shops.
It is best to use heat shrink to insulate the wires but you can use insulation tape.

Re: Name of white probe in freezer unit (Schreiber APM6855)
Hi from Bob
The APM6855/0 sensor / no frost evaporator probe plugs in to a PCB
Power board on the rear of the unit behind the condenser about halfway up under a grey
Plastic coverYou have to remove the fridge freezer from the cabinet to gain access to it.
The APM6855/1 the sensor plugs in inside the freezer compartment.
Important warning you must turn off the power at the mains as the wires remain live if you only turn them off at the control panel.
You can replace the sensor by connecting it to the existing wires but not with a connector block you need straight crimp on cable connectors or you can solder the wires from the old sensor to the wires on the new sensor if you have the APM6855/0
To save you removing the fridge freezer from the cabinet.Use heat shrink to insulate the wires to stop moisture from shorting out the sensor
You can buy heat shrink from any MAPLINS
And just use a hair drier to heat it up to shrink it on to the wires.If you have the APM6855/1 then you can just plug it in.
The only difference with the no frost sensors is the plug on the end
Of the wires so if you are soldering the sensor on you can use ether one but the APM6855/0 sensor is normaly cheaper it is best if you can remove the fridge freezer on this model as it is easy to plug it in to the pcb at the back.The old type sensor fitted to the APM6855/0 was flat this was replaced by a round sensor.
It is rare for the newer type round sensor to fail but common
With the flat sensor.All new sensors are now the round type.
BobRe: Creda cooker malfunction
If the fan in the main oven works like ken said this will be the element.
If the oven does not work at all have you set a time on the oven timer as if a time is not set the oven will not work.

Re: Please help!!!! Samsung side by side fridge/freezer
If you have replaced the sensor and thermal fuse then the defrost heater will be the fault.

Re: diplomat f/f apm6852
It depends on if it is the 4 pin the 6 pin or the 8 pin module.
The newer 6 pin module has the sensor in the module.
The 8 pin has a reed switch and a sensor.
The 4 pin just has a reed switch
The six pin has a reed switch and a sensor but just 2 wires so this type will not get a reading.
The new module should come complete with the Antonio Merloni Instructions or you should be able to get a copy from AWS.

Re: diplomat f/f apm6852
After fitting the module before turning the mains back on make sure you turn the module to the highest setting.
If you turn the module on after the mains you will have to wait for it to cut in as it has a delay before it will start.
Bob
Re: diplomat f/f apm6852
Most APM6852 models will be the 6 pin type and do not need to be modified.
The early models sometimes had 4 pin or 8 pin.
You will not find many 4 or 8 pin as most are 6 Pin.
If you order a module from AWS it will come complete with the mod details if you need them and also this will be the cheapest supplier for the pcb / module.
Rare to get any other fault on this model.

Re: Help regarding diplomat oven please
As the element heats up it expands and the element can then short to earth with an insulation fault.
