worthy10 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Freezer fine fridge not going cold. Any fixes or fridge mechanics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 13, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is it still making a slight noise; ie pump/motor working? Not an expert but I doubt a balloon would do the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Take it upstairs, leave it on the landing for a few minutes while you have a breather then throw it down the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little whitt Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Take it upstairs, leave it on the landing for a few minutes while you have a breather then throw it down the stairs. THIS but make sure your Mavies is at the bottom to try and catch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 13, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2017 Has the setting been altered? Usually a little dial inside Might be saying the obvious, but it sometimes gets inadvertently turned down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySanchez Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Have you checked to see if the fridge light goes out when you close the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter White on Tyne Posted September 13, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2017 Do you have any fridge magnets from hot countries that might be causing it to heat up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted September 13, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) I had this exact same thing on mine last year. Freezer was fine, but fridge compartment was almost warm. Turned out the vent that allows cold air into the fridge from the freezer was blocked with ice. This is a so-called.'frost free' fridge freezer too. Anyway, emptied it, switched it off, then left it to defrost for 48 hours (obviously a load of towels on the floor to soak up the water). Switched it back on, and it was good as new. Edit: just saw your post worthy - it's even the same model as yours!

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted September 13, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hotpoint. Future frost freeze Pretty much a gonner then.. Needs a Hotpoint approved engineer to come out and plug in a computer, tell you the thermostat has gone.. (if it's running but not getting cold).. If its making a clicking sound even worse.. Frost free freezers are trouble to fix, loads get rid when when warranty runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobster Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Ours went faulty a while back, spent a fortune getting it repaired and it still was not right so ended up getting a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
