Re: Hotpoint FFS70
Ah, when you remove that plastic back you find that maybe you shouldn’t have done so until the unit had fully defrosted as the foam and aluminium rip apart!
Re: Hotpoint FFS70
I too have one of these – and the same problem. I am just in the process of defrosting it now. I was looking for the manual online when I hit this forum.
I pressed and pressed that defrost alert and nothing happened – until I came back a day later and it had gone out.
It is possible that it was during that day that I discovered that the freeser door wasn’t shutting properly. To resolve that I took the trays out of the freezer – the door then shut properly. I couldn’t see why the door wouldn’t shut – I though maybe the hinges had shifted or the fridge wasn’t level. However, my alert light may have then gone out as I had resolved the cause of the defrost.
However, 2 weeks later, I have now discovered that the reason for the door not shutting is the growth of a block of ice behind the plastic back of the freezer. Hence the defrost.
So, it may be that your freezer is not able to freeze, for some reason, and that is why the light will not go out?
