My Hotpoint FF72s seems to have the common fault freezer working ok fridge running at 15 degrees plus a lot of the time. I have has the freezer compartment to bits checked the ducts to the fridge they are both clear the fan appears to be running ok too. Where are the thermostats/thermistors any idea on part numbers and how to change them ?

Just a quick update to this old post, given my successful results having followed it to the word.

Espares.co.uk have the part numbers given (total £40 ish) and with a bit of fiddling in the back of the freezer I managed to simply replace both sensors. Only tool needed is a pozi drive / crosshead screwdriver.

My symptoms (and therefore Google search) were exactly as per the original post, and the results are a working fridge freezer.

This forum saved me several hundred pounds on a new fridge freezer. Very pleased!

you will need freezer evap thermister and a thermister frozen green the part numbers are 2601683 2600283 you will have to switch off appliance remove all freezer trys and remove rear panel, behind the panel you will see the yellow plug and green plug these are attached to your thermisters becarfull as all the pipe work is very delicate!
