Hi folks, my Hotpoint HS3022VL is 3 years old and has just started to have a mid life crisis!
It keeps getting colder and colder – freezing the contents inside.
I have removed the fridge from the cupboard and have fully emptied and cleaned the fridge, including the drainage hole / drip tray, seals etc.
All seals are also sound and making a good contact.
I have turned off for several hours and then turned back on using all temperature settings. For each test the fridge drops to just about -4.5c.
It does not appear to be constantly running.
The air wave at the top appears to be working.
I have removed the thermostat and all connections appear to be sound. There are no signs of burnout or other damage.
I have searched for a replacement thermostat but have read that it will be no use unless programmed by Hotpoint – essentially multiplying the price 3-4 times.
Do I have any other options if it is the thermostat? Or anything else it may be causing the problem.
Super cool thanks !
Re: Hotpoint HS3022VL – As low as -4.5c
Shortly after making the post I called Hotpoint and was happy to discover that they do indeed ship the board pre-programmed!
Of course, the sales person did not know what they were talking about and it soon became evident that they are not pre-programmed.
Wasted time and money because of their initial mistake and they are not the slightest bit interested in atoning for their errors – although more than happy to sell me on card reader for over £100 which will have about 10 seconds use!!
