Error codes related to this part
Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | Hotpoint | Means a refrigerator sensor fault that often stops the fridge cooling properly while the freezer keeps working. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor. | High |
| E2 | Hotpoint | Means a freezer sensor fault, where the appliance cannot accurately read the freezer compartment temperature. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor, which may leave the freezer failing to freeze correctly or the compressor running constantly. | High |
| E7 | Hotpoint | Means a fault with the ambient temperature sensor, where the appliance cannot accurately measure the surrounding or internal temperature. It is usually caused by the temperature sensor, blocked vents, or ice buildup. | High |
| E8 | Hotpoint | Means a fault with the evaporator thermistor inside the freezer, which often stops the fan or leaves the fridge not cooling while the freezer keeps working. It is usually caused by a short circuit or failure of the sensor. | High |
| F5 | Hotpoint | Means a freezer sensor fault, where the sensor monitoring the freezer temperature has shorted out or is not functioning correctly. It is usually caused by a faulty freezer sensor, which can lead to improper freezing. | High |
| E1 | Indesit | Means a refrigerator sensor fault, with an open circuit or faulty temperature reading that often leaves the fridge section not cooling while the freezer keeps working. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor or a wiring fault. | High |
| E2 | Indesit | Means a freezer sensor fault, where the control board is not receiving a valid temperature reading from the freezer compartment. It is usually caused by a faulty freezer sensor. | High |
| E7 | Indesit | Means an environmental temperature sensor fault, where the appliance is detecting an incorrect temperature. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor or a sensor failure. | High |
| E8 | Indesit | Means an environmental temperature sensor fault, where the appliance cannot read the ambient temperature and often leaves incorrect temperatures in the freezer compartment. It is usually caused by a damaged, faulty, or disconnected sensor. | High |
| F1 | Indesit | Means a freezer thermistor open circuit fault, where the appliance cannot read the freezer temperature and often stops cooling properly or runs constantly. It is usually caused by a faulty freezer thermistor. | High |
| F2 | Indesit | Means a fault with the temperature sensor or its wiring circuit that stops the appliance sensing temperature correctly, usually leaving inadequate cooling. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor or a wiring fault. | High |
| F4 | Indesit | Means a fault with the fridge evaporator sensor or a failure in the defrost system, usually leaving improper temperatures. It is usually caused by a short circuit on the thermistor or a clogged defrost drain. | High |
| F5 | Indesit | Means a defective temperature sensor, often the freezer sensor, that stops the unit managing temperatures properly. It is usually caused by a shorted or disconnected thermistor. | High |
| F7 | Indesit | Means an evaporator thermistor open circuit fault on the temperature sensor in the cooling system, often linked to excessive ice buildup. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor or a defrosting issue. | High |
| F8 | Indesit | Means a fault with the evaporator sensor, often an open or short circuit, or a failure in the defrosting system that often leaves incorrect compartment temperatures. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor or a defrost fault. | High |

More Details
What is the thermostat centre in fridges and freezers?
The thermostat centre monitors and regulates the temperature inside the fridges and freezers. It acts as a control centre, sensing the temperature and sending signals to the cooling system to adjust and maintain the desired temperature setting. The thermostat centre is near the evaporator coil or cooling unit.
Why do you need to replace it?
The thermostat centre can become inaccurate and lead to temperature inconsistencies or failure to maintain the desired temperature. You can experience food spoilage or inefficient cooling.
Replacing the thermostat centre helps restore proper temperature regulation for optimal cooling performance and preserving the freshness of stored food.
Would this fit my fridge?
This thermostat centre kit is a genuine Hotpoint fridge and freezer replacement part. It also fits Indesit fridges & freezers. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.
