Hi there, I am new to this forum and am looking for some advice please – We have a Hotpoint Mistral approx 8years old and have historically had some of the more common problems listed on this forum (if only I had found you sooner!).
We now have a new problem - Everything over the last 6 – 8 weeks is too cold! – The freezer temperature varies from -18 to -22 although the contents seem to be really cold (i.e. Ice cream is set like concrete!) and the contents also have a frost build up/ice on them – In addition, the upper section keeps freezing everything despite being set at 4 or 5. In fact, changing the temperature settings makes no noticeable difference.
I have cleared out the dusty heat exchange area and the fridge/freezer door seals appear all OK. Is it likely to be the thermistors and if so which ones (freezer or top section or both?!). Many thanks.
