Re: Hotpoint FFA97 fridge compartment not chilling

Had exactly the same problem – Hotpoint FFA97, fridge not chilling, fan suddenly started making labouring/banging noises.

Rather than call an engineer out and face a huge bill, I did some web searching and found this link

http://www.applianceaid.com/frig_notcold.html

which pretty much described the problem. Problem appears to be caused by the frost free unit icing up. We turned the fridge/freezer off for 24 hours, which let all the ice melt, and touch wood it’s been absolutely fine since.
