Why is the mistral fridge temperature is at +19?

SOURCE: my fridge freezer Hotpoint Mistral

E8- Evaporator thermistor short circuit

Well this is a sensor,, found in the freezer compartment of the f/f

what you have to do is reove the draws fro mthe freezer and you will c a panel which has 6 screws., remove the panel and and you will c a fan, toward the right of the fan you will c a yellow plug with a bit of wire on it,

This is what you have to replace

try connect distributions you can find them on the net if your in the uk that is

hope this helps

cheers

SOURCE: Hotpoint Mistral Frost Free Fridge freezer - fridge not getting cold

We have just had to call out an engineer to get our 1 1/2 year old Hotpoint Graphite Frost Free Fridge Freezer repaired. The fridge had almost entitely stopped cooling even when on high. I was amazed at how easily the problem was sorted. The engineer removed all the basktes from the freezer to access the screws on the inside backpanel of the freezer. Once this panel was removed it was clear that the so called Frost Free doesn't really mean what it says. The ice need to be melted with a bit of simple care. It is obvious that with a bit of care it is easliy a diy job BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND READ THE NEXT PART BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO REMOVE THE ICE> The ice forms around variouys pipes etc and he usecd a screwdriver to help release the ice quicker than waiting for it to defrost and he also used a simple hairdryer to help speed up the process. He had a ntowel and a basin to take care of the water. Next time I would have no problem doing this myself but I would need to leave it a little while to defrost and NOT USE A SCREWDRIVER as I am sure somehow I would puncture a pipe or the wall of the freezer itself and I am quite used to doing the odd bit of DIY. On a difficulkty scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being difficult I would rate the job as about a 3. Hope this helps anyone who reads this about £70.

Type "Mistral Thermistor" into the search and help will be availible. You have a very common problem which is an easy fix in most cases. Good luck.

please be aware that the temperature for the freezer compartment cannot be changed, this is pre set at the time of manufacture, only the fridge can be altered. The main reason for problems with zoned temperatures are to do with the compressor over heating. Unfortunately Hotpoint designed the compressor to switch itself off if the ambient (room) temperature exceeds a pre set figure. This in turn will obviously then lead to an increase in the temperatures of your fridge and freezer. I'm afraid the only solution to this problem is to relocate the whole unit to somewhere much cooler, especially during the hotter weather. This should in time sort the problem out. Also double check that the grill at the very bottom on the front, is not blocked up with dust etc.
