Did the full defrost, only a little bit of water on the drip pan. I cleaned the drip pan, checked the drain plug. All was ok. Gave it another go today and unfortunately fan not kicking in and freezer not getting cold enoug now. Time to go fridge freezer shopping.

Thanks, will try this and see what happens.

That is the plan, but I thought if it was a cheap simple fix like a relay or switch. Could be worth saving and keep using.

Hotpoint Fridge Freezer FFA97G we had for over 15 years. Been rock solid reliable till now The other morning I found the defrost alarm going off which I never heard before. I noticed temperature warming and fridge freezer not being cold. I took everything out and had a look behind the label...

Lol.. th service manual says Remove the fork C and move away the pipes D. :(

Removing the engineer clip, should the copper pipe just pull out? For me it seems they don't move. Anything I am missing to get the copper pipes to detach?

No need to apologise. Personally I wished I did engineering when I was younger but all I have done in terms of mechanics is work on cars in my 20s as a hobby. I think I have the makings of an engineer if I went back to school or did a course but time doesn't allow. I agree with your comment...

So once the clip is removed the copper pipe should pull away by hand. For pipes that are stuck, any advice?

I had a go this afternoon and the clips where quite easy to remove with long nose pliers and a little bit of controlled strength. However now the next step is to Move away the 2 copper pipes that are attached to the diverter. I could not budge them, I tried to push them away but no movement...

I was thinking they look very tight so opening them up would make it easier. I did see online this car clip pliers that apply outward pressure. Is there a need for that type of tool?

Forgot to say it is a tight space so will have to find a short screwdriver to pop the clip off.

Ok, if it is that simple that's great. I didn't want to attempt it until I was sure what I am doing.

Hi Anyone know how I can remove the circlip on the diaphragm of the diverted valve in the biasi 24s boiler? I need to replace the large diaphram as the hot water is not always being called when needed. A link below shows the clip that I need to undo to remove the 2 mini copper pipes.

Hi I am in the process of renovating doors and stairs. I would like to know what is the quickest way to paint the doors and stairs white. What are my options to get the job done quickly but decent finish. I have painted 4 bedroom doors white which were a different colour. I used joncryl...

Hi Pigeon85 Yeah I realized afterwards that I should have taken them off before skimming. However I bought a bosch mouse sander and a Ryobi 1/4 sheet palm which have both been very good and I can achieve a very flat finish on the skirting with minimal effort. Also how long should you...
