Hi
This forum's been an excellent source of fixing things by searching but I've got a question now ...
My Hoover HFA29SK, three years old, has started playing up.
A few days ago, the fridge part went down to -8C and froze everything. I thought it might be the dust on the radiator at the back so I cleaned it. It seemed OK yesterday but now it has switched to +10C. It does not matter what I set the thermostat to in both cases (range 0 - 4).
I can hearing blowing from the freezer section i.e. the freezer part is not silent. And humming from the fridge section. The light does switch off properly. The lining around the fridge door seems OK.
What can I do to diagnose the problem?
I cannot see where the temperature reader is in the fridge. If it is the thermostat or the knob that is failing is it easy to replace on this model and where is it (or does anyone know a link to show where)? Everything seems hidden not like in the fridge from my childhood!
Hope someone can help me get a bit further on this.
Thanks for reading,
Colorider.
PS I have put a picture of the temperature control which is on the outside of the fridge in an album //www.diynot.com/network/colorider/albums
