HOTPOINT ffs70S High Temp Light
Hi,
I'm having problems with my fridge/freezer, specifically the freezer compartment which regularly starts to defrost after a build up of ice behind the back panel. After consulting other forums I remove/defrost the ice and the unit then works for 2-3 weeks before icing up again. I am assuming that the heating element is not kicking in to keep the freezer frost free? Any ideas on what to test/change is appreciated.
Cheers

Re: HOTPOINT ffs70S High Temp Light
there is many a cause, is it icing from top to bottom, or bottom to top??the defrost heaters are pretty reliable, ive not replaced one yet for being faulty. Is is frosty ice, or solid ice??

Re: HOTPOINT ffs70S High Temp Light
Hi, not sure whether top to bottom or vice versa. It's solid ice not white frosty type. I reckon the heating element is probably ok. It may just not be kicking in which is why i thought it may be a sensor, thermistor?? or thermal switch? Forgive me I'm not an engineer, I sit at a desk all day.
Cheers

Re: HOTPOINT ffs70S High Temp Light
the defrost is timed, u can try moving the heater down more so its over the area it ices up in, do u hear it cracking and odd noises still?
