I have a hotpoint mistral ff72. when we open the fridge door the power cuts out to the whole unit. It won't come on until we unplug from the mains for about 15 minutes and then it works ok until the next time we open the fridge then we have to go though the whole process again. anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
