Another Hotpoint Mistral FF question. Cooling Fan?

The fan should run each time the compressor runs and no it does not have a belt to drive it - it is not hard to replace the fan but pull plug out first

The fan could well be 'jerky' due to the tension of the belt that runs it. The fan and the compressor are temperature related. The fan works when the system tells it to. so Does the compressor. Having said that, some models run the fan on a timer. It is quite a complcated system. Providing the correct temperatures are being reached, and your electricity bill hasn't suddenly shot through the roof, I would say your system is ok. You ca always contact several engineers for a quote to see if it is worth paying for them to check it out for you.
