Hotpoint Fridge & Freezer DAMPER THERMOSTATC00145634

The damper was exactly as described and what I needed. Straightforward to use so sorted my problem. Speedy delivery- another Ransome star turn

Not being an appliance engineer I had to work out, from helpful forums, what was the problem with the fridge freezer. Seems the first thing to try was the damper and it seems to have worked. Fitting was easy (could have done with instructions about how to take the cover off in my particular Hotpoint model). Initially the fridge seemed to be getting too cold, freezing some things, but it damper has settled in now and the appliance appears to have found a balance again. After years of the thing not really being cold enough it is a bit of a shock just how cold the nominal 4 degrees is!
