Re: Servis M3094 blown module

Thanks for the advice…….I gave it a good looking at. No earth leakage from the heater, there was some chafing of the wires near the motor support bracket but the insulation was still sufficiently intact not to be a problem.

The edge connector looks a little dodgy on a few terminals where the burn up was so I will give it a clean and test for good connections.

I have found a replacement refurbed module from Emw Electronics for a little over £30 so perhaps it’s worth the risk of replacement.

BTW the outrageous price for a new module from Dabs spares is £149.99 + £6.50 p&p inc vat !!!! ………with these prices it’s no wonder the tips are full of relatively new machines. Dick Turpin comes to mind, I wonder if he works for Dabs?

Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF91S Frost Free “Fridge Temp Prob

Hi Susie

I haven’t had a chance to look at the problem since my last post, plus the need for a reliable fridge has caused grief in the household so a new fridge/freezer is arriving today. I still intend to have a go at repairing it so I’ll update you when I get the time to check it out. In the meantime it’s going into “cold storage” in the garage.

Thanks to all on the forum for your help.

Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF91S Frost Free “Fridge Temp Prob

Hi Dave

The freezer fan is functioning on closing the light switch. As Alf mentioned a motorised baffle could be the problem as the cold airflow seemed minimal when I just checked it, or the fan is switching off before the fridge gets to temperature.

Cheers

Hi Alf

Yes the display rises above +3 C.

The MCB fault really confused the situation until I put then Fridge/Freezer on an extension lead to another mains circuit.

Maybe the constant switching on and off of the mains supply has induced the fault.
