My story so far, I have just diagnosed my fidge fault as being the thermostat. so I purchased a genuine hotpoint part and went about removing the old one and fitting the new one when I removed the old one I noticed that the capilary tube slides into a small hole in the inside wall of the fridge when I came to fit the new thermostat I couldn't feed the new tube back down the hole and there is no other way of feeding it through if do try to slide it into the hole it catches on something and starts to kink. so my question is this, would it be possible to secure it somehow to the inside walls of the fridge so that it is visible (i know it will be a bit unsightly) and just have it located near the back wall. obviously not drilling into the back of the fidge wall as that is were the condenser is located.
