Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF72P Trips House ECB

Thanks – absolutely right on both counts!

Here’s the deal….I opened up the panel in the freezer and the defrost evapourator (the little white element on the back of the aluminium sheet) had a brown bubble in it, (burnt out) which was shorting to earth – the aluminim panel.

I’ve disconnected the element and the unit is working ok now. Though not defrosting the freezer.

I’ve got a pro coming round to put it all right later in the week.

Thanks!

Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF72P Trips House RCB/ECB

A new development…

I’ve cleaned the 8 years worth of dust from the internal gubbins of the fridge. (Behind the fan and around the cooling fins etc.)

I now have an error code of EA on the console.

I’ve taken the auto duct apart that channels cold air from the freezer to fridge and I’m beginning to suspect that the stepper motor which controls the flap has an intermittant fault, or short, leading to the unit tripping the house RCB.

Any ideas?
