I have a Hotpoint FFA70 Fridge Freezer. The freezer works ok but the fridge does not. I have had the back off the freezer, the fan works fine, and I've tested the evaporator heater element for continuity. I have an LED fridge thermometer taped to the rear panel of the fridge and can get the fridge cooling only when I have heated the evaporator with a heat gun. It works for about an hour then stops. so I believe it must either be a faulty heater switch or a faulty thermostat.
I cannot locate either of these components.
Would anyone have a wiring diagram of this British made fridge freezer, or know if they are they located on the circuit board above the fridge door where the temperature dials are.
Thanks for any help
