F2Warning

Hotpoint Refrigerator F2 Error Code

The freezer temperature sensor (thermistor) is reading open (infinite resistance), causing temperature control issues.

Common causes

  • Failed thermistor
  • Broken wire to thermistor
  • Connector issue

How to fix it

  1. Unplug refrigerator for 1 minute to reset.
  2. Check the freezer thermistor connector for corrosion or looseness.
  3. Measure resistance: should be about 5k-15kΩ at room temperature; if infinite, replace thermistor.
⚠ When to call a pro: If replacing the thermistor does not clear the code, the control board may be faulty.
