Re: Hotpoint Minstral FF72P PCB part PTC1?

I’m currently diagnosing an intermittent issue with an FF92 where the fridge compartment sometimes maintains ambient temperature whilst the freezer is at its expected -22°C.

In investigating the problem and reviewing the various threads here I discovered Tony’s question about PTC1 on the control PCB and, although his question was a long while ago, thought I’d record some useful information here for others that might need it.

Based on the current draw Tony reports I suspect it can be replaced with RS 198-848 PTC over-current thermistor,15R 234mA which has a trip current of 330mA and costs approximately £1.44.
