    Hi i have a problem with my Hoover fridge freezer, model HCA 390 K.

    I went in the freezer the other day and everything had started defrosting. The compressor?(whatever it is that makes the buzzing sound) wasn’t running but light was on in fridge so there was power to it. i pulled the appliance away from the wall and a few minutes later the buzzing started so thought i’d cured it. I put some ice cubes in the top drawer which have now froze but food in the draws have not froze. The door seals all seem sound. The fridge is probably about 10 years old, is that a reasonable amount of time for it too last or should they last longer?

    For the past year or so when the compressor cut off it would make a banging noise, i dont know if this is linked to it not working now? It has also been defrosted about 3 months ago

    Any advice appreciated, thanks

    If there is a noise when the compressor shuts down either banging or shuderring it usually spells the end of the motor.its probably now although partially working not able to freeze efficiently.
    10 years isn’t bad for a Hoover (candy) which is one of the cheaper built machins.
    Shopping time!

    Thanks for the reply. Is there a brand you would recommend? Or one to stay away from?

    Would have told you to avoid Hoover 10 years ago but then yours at 10 years has been good 😕
    You mostly get what you pay for,Bosch,Brandt and electrolux brands.
    Probably best to use the search engine on here and see what comes up
