Hotpoint Freezer Temperature Sensor Error

Display shows F2 and the freezer temperature is not controlled correctly.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open or shorted freezer sensor, Sensor connector not fully seated, Damaged wiring in freezer door or cabinet, Faulty sensor input on PCB

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing freezer panels.

Steps:

Locate the freezer temperature sensor (often on the rear wall or attached to the evaporator cover).
Inspect for ice encasement, broken wires, or loose connectors.
Test resistance and compare to spec.

Corrective action: Replace the freezer sensor if out of spec. If F2 remains, the main control board may be defective.
