Hello Dave,

Did you managed to find some thermistor information?

Thanks.

Hello Dave,

Thank you very much for your reply. It made sense given the issues, but I got my multi-meter out and did a bit more checking and have confused myself again.

First I Identified the correct sensor connection on the control PCB connector block with the help of a hot cup of tea. 🙂 At tea mug temperature thermisor was heading south of 6k ohms. At room temperature 13k ohms. I turned the unit on for around 45 minutes, turned it off and checked again. Measured 74k ohms. Probably not as high a value as it would have been if I left the unit on longer, but it seems to be working. I used the auto test before and after and it repeated the previous result both times. I thought the error was triggered by a short or open circuit thermistor? Or does it check the range on this model? Checked the correct functioning of the voltage divider on the PCB too.

Should also mention that the freezer air sensor seems fine too. 14k at room temperature and 40k when the freezer had cooled down for a while.

Would you still recommend replacing the thermistor? If so, can you suggest a suitable part? Same as for the FF187/ FF200??

Thanks.
