My fridge freezer has played up for a while – the freezer randomly thaws and the fridge gets warm. Switching it off for a while usually sorts it out but I’ve had it switched off for 2 weeks now and it won’t work at all now.
Any clues where to start looking ?

Possibly the thermostat if it has one..model number please to advise further.

Re: Hoover Optima Fridge Freezer died
That is a good model number.
Electronically controlled unit (so has no thermostat) but the PCB is the usual fault 🙁
Engineer time with one of these to be honest to make a definite diagnosis, check Repairs@ for one near you 🙂

Re: Hoover Optima Fridge Freezer died
Thanks Dave,
I’m an electronic engineer, so I might be able to check out the pcb. Is it easily accessible ? Could I get hold of a service manual ?

It’s very unlikely to be honest. You”ll have to use your diagnostic skills and a bit of luck 😉
Hoover won’t supply the circuit information generally even to engineers as they never replace to component level, just change the whole PCB.
