Lights on but not cooling/freezing Hotpoint FSFL2010

[Papa Smurf]

Hi,

My Hotpoint FSFL2010 has stopped cooling and freezing. The two lights/temp switches were flashing and beeping. I’ve tried many resets and defrosted it for 48hrs.

The evaporator fans spins ok and comes on for 10 seconds after a reset.

The fridge-freezer seems to click intermittently – is that a relay trying to activate the compressor?

Would anyone have suggestions on what to check? Could it be the compressor fan?

It’s 8 years old so if it’s not a cheap repair, I suppose I’m looking at a new fridge-freezer? Currys do them from about £200.

Many thanks 🙂
