Can anyone help please?
I have a Hotpoint Mistral Plus 8496 fridge freezer. The fridge compartment is getting too cold, so cold that it freezing food. I have the temperature setting on the highest (warmest) setting.
I have replaced the thermistor in the fridge compartment but it hasn't fixed the problem.
The motorised baffle seems to work ok. The fan in the freezer works when the fridge door is open and it turns off when the fridge has reached the (un!)desired temperature.
I have tried turning the appliance off for 24 hrs to defrost, but still no joy.
Can anyone help? I thought there would be no point replacing the thermistor in the freezer as the temperature there is ok. Am I right? I did think about replacing the whole circuit board, but I can't find one and if I did it might cost more than the fridge is worth,
Thank you,
Mark
