Hi

Where is the defrost timer on a Hotpoint FF08P frost free fridge
freezer? I've looked everywhere but cant find it.

There is a 'Hotpoint Defrost stat & Fuse N1548' with 4 wires, but
presumably that ends the defrost cycle rather than initiates it, since
its a stat not a timer. There are 2 other similar looking blocks, each
with 2 wires, but what they are I dont know. 2 wires doesnt say timer
to me though.

Am trying to fix one where the freezer wont chill, fan doesnt run, no
volts getting to the fan, but googling hasnt thrown up any cct diagram,
manual, etc, so am left guessing a bit.


thanks, NT

ps have checked the repairfaq, have googled

The defrost timer is normally at the back behind one of the fan covers or in
a box down by the compressor.

The blocks with 2 wires are thermo fuses,

The timer normally has a knob that can be turned to switch it in and out of
defrost manually which is good for testing.

If it has stuck in defrost the thermo fuse may also have blown as its also a
safety device.
