Hotpoint Fridge Thermostat K59-P4967 for RL64P Stock Number: ES208996
Genuine spare part for select Jackson, Hotpoint, Creda, and English Electric fridge freezers
It is a Hotpoint Iced Diamond Auto Defrost fridge Model 8120, the serial number is 08804100, It is several years old maybe 20 years. The problem is :- It seems to be working all the time, if I turn the thermostat back lower it turns off but does not cut in again unless I turn the dial off and then turn it on again when it then cuts in but will only work at a high setting. Is it worth replacing if you have a compatible one, and is it easy to fit.

If it has run for a continuous period it is likely to be lower than its normal operational temperature. Set to 3/4 setting and leave for 8 hours to see if it comes back on before condemning the thermostat. If it still does not restart replace the thermostat.
The rear channel keeps blocking up with ice and I have to pour hot water to melt and clear it The freezer has an abnormal amount of ice build up in the bottom I assume its the thermostat Your site is out of stock for my FFA70S Can you help

I bought a secondhand fridge that switches on cools down and cuts out OK but then does not switch back on again. I changed the thermostat taking a photo of the connections before removing the old one. But the problem remains the same. I am suspicious that the connections may not be correct. There was evidence that someone else had removed the thermostat before me. Can you please advise me of the correct connections for this model. Thanks

I suspect the problem may be the compressor, If the thermostat has tried to restart the compressor then you may hear a faint buzz followed by a 'tick' that will occur for approx 3 seconds every 90 seconds and the compressor will remain hot if left 'stalled' for 24 hours. if the compressor goes cool then look at the thermostat again. If it is a compressor fault you will need to contact a systems engineer to replace the compressor.

We list a thermostat that will fit both the RLA84 (P) and RLA84 (T) which is code ES808318. The model above we do not list spares for.
My fridge is freezing up a lot so I suspect the thermostat, before I get one to do it myself, how would I replace it? Many thanks

Hi Kit, the thermostat is positioned behind the temperature controls - you'll have to remove the control knob and any housing to get to the thermostat. Once you've done that, you'd need to feed in the new thermostat's 'string' and put back together.
I have a Scandinova tall fridge, it has stopped working. The thermostat has four connectors on the back, brown / white / red / earth. With the fridge switched on and voltmeter between brown and the white or red connectors, I get 240v. At rear of fridge there is 240 v in from mains, some sort of box of tricks (with wires in from the thermostat etc) and then the output to the compressor. I get 55v from this with thermostat switched on and 27v switched off. The compressor is marked up "240v". Can anyone tell me whether this is a faulty thermostat or other problem please?

Hi there, it sounds like it could be the PCB itself - if the fridge has stopped working entirely it suggests something wrong with the 'brain' of the fridge. Generally speaking the most common symptom of a failed thermostat is the temperature in the fridge being too cold or too warm.
The back wall of the fridge has a layer of ice in the top half, bottom half is completely normal, the temperature indicator inside is green and says ok, no matter what I do with the temperature control (it is currently set at number 1) there is no differrence, the door appears to fit properly. Any ideas? Is it a case of a new thermostat needed?

Hi Natalie, the most common cause of icy build up in the fridge is a damaged door seal, but if yours is fine, then I'm guessing it could well be something related to the thermostat - maybe the stat itself or the control knob. Try removing the control knob first to get a closer look before you order. Hope this helps.
I have a Hotpoint fridge/freezer (model No FF200E) and think it may need a new thermostat as the temperature in the fridge is just under room temperature and wont go any lower. The freezer works fine and the whole appliance makes the same noise as normal. Any ideas? Kenny
- It must be worth a try if you are confident about fitting it. Much cheaper than buying a new fridge freezer.
I want to check my fridge thermostat (Hotpoint Iced Diamond RL84N) by bi-passing the thermostat. The thermostat has a brown power-in wire which ... 1 Answer
... loops to the switch and light, and a green and white wire. Which two wires do I need to short to check if the the thermostat is the problem?

Hi Edina320, I'm a little wary of giving you instructions on this - I don't want to electrocute you! All I'll say is that the brown or red wires are live, blue or black wires are neutral and green and yellow striped wires are earth.
hi I have the new thermostat to install i have 3 wire coming from the fridge black/blue/brown i know where the brown wire connects to on thermostat but not sure on the blue and black
- I'd have to take the fridge apart to answere the question and I don't want to do that.
Will this part fit my appliance?
