Re: Hotpoint fridge/freezer FFA52
oh, also check the interior light goes out when the door shuts (by pulling back the door seal a little as you open and close the door)
Re: Hotpoint fridge/freezer FFA52
Hi, check that no food is touching the back wall. when the machine defrosts itself, the water will drain down the food instead of the wall, thus soaking everything.
alternatively, check that the shelves have their protective ‘lip’ to the rear of the shelf pointing up. this is designed to stop things touching the back wall.
alternatively, you may have an inefficient compressor, hotpoint have fitted lots of these, but will not admit it. does the back wall ever actually have frost on it? IT SHOULD HAVE but only about 25{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time. by design, they freeze/ melt/ freeze/ melt etc.
dont take any crap from hotpoint, i’ve been fixing fridges for 20 years and some of the rubbish i’ve heard from their engineers defies all belief. you should NEVER have water on the shelves (but be really sure you haven’t stocked it up wrong or you’re gonna look really stooopid.
good luck
