hotpoint FF40 lights flashing and beeping

[slyp98]

hi all , ive had a luke at this f/f and customer sayes it beeps once and a while and the 3 lights on the control panel flash , the intervals are getting shorter and it does it nearly every day and its icing up the freezer badly , drawers stuck solid,, i had customer defrost it for a day or so and i had the cover off the evaporator but when i turned on the unit i couldnt hear the compressor running it was turned on for 20 mins and still no sign of it starting ?? where can i get some exploded parts diagrams for this baby thanks

If memory serves me right (theres a first time for everything) i think these initially do a defrost when started, so you may just have to be patient. On the older models you could bypass this by having the fridge door open when you turn it on.

i tried hotpoint for a partfinder disc and they couldnt get one , im not worried anyway i think the problem is oibvious enough , the water after being defrosted is not runninig down the gutter into the catch tank on top of the comp. it is staying in the plastic housing and running down the back of the freezer wall into the well under the bottom drawer . result drawer frozen in place . i have seen a few posts on other sites with roughly the same problem only on a ff200 model , the solution seems to be to get an uprated wiring harness and gutter heater for the defrost heater , problem is i cant find this anywhere anyone out there have any info on finding these parts thanks k 🙂
