Hotpoint FF200LP Fridge fault.

[Mr_Damage]

I have a Hotpoint Ff200LP fridge freezer with a common fault of the freezer element freezing up and causing the fridge to not work.
It works fine if I manually defrost it, and I beleive the defrost circuit is failing somehow.
I have checked continuity of the heater element and I beleive it to be withign spec for 220w.
I have checked the Thermal cutout and this too seems to be OK. (continuity between 2 yellow, and 2 blues)
I suspect it may be a control board failure or somethign that I havent yet tried.
Is there anywhere I can get a diagnostics manual for this model?
Any help appreciated.

I have got somewhere with this now!

I ran some built in diagnostics and have come up with fault code F25, Freezer evaporator NTC sensor
open / short circuit.
Is this the Evap thermister that I keep reading about?
If so does anyone know where I can get one at reasonable cost?
I had a lot of trouble confirming which was the correct item on the hotpoint spares website. I called them and they were as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
I'm happy to buy the part but I need to confirm that I have identified the correct one.

I may have found the correct part!

First of all, check the compressor of your fridge. For More information please visit www(dot)pandorasoem(dot)com.
