Re: Whirlpool Stainless Steel Oven and Hob – Rust Spots

Great thaknks for your help much appreciated, I think I’ll give those cleaning products a go, do I need both of them or just the one and is one more heavy duty than the other?

I may even give Whirlpool a ring to see what they say but will probably say thats its my fault and i havent looked after it properly and used an abrasive cleaner, to be honest the cooker and hood should have come with a user aftercare manual.

thanks again

Hotpoint FFS70S – Blocked fridge drain hole – SOLUTION?

A year on and I’m stiil getting the same problem.

Drainage hole at the back keeps freezing up no matter how many times i unfreeze it.

I did call out Hotpoint Engineer his verdict after 2mins was that he could do nothing about it, he seemed to think that it may have been damaged when moved (as we recently moved house) and that there was a crack in the moulded drainage pipe and no way to repair it, the crack must be close to the part that cools or freezes the fridge and is causing the water to freeze in the pipe (thankfully he didnt charge me for his visit all of 5mins) he siad about that there was an option that Hotpoint could party pay towards another fridge or discount from one of thier suppliers, if I wasnt able to live with the fault.

So regulary have to mop up water from bottom of fridge compartment that has nowhere to go as its hard work to keep breaking up the ice with hot water and a piece of metal wire.

I may try the following just wondering if anybody has tried these or could suggest anything else that might work.

1. One suggestion was to defrost pipe and put a piece of copper wire down the pipe and wrap the other end around the hot pipes at the bottom of the fridge so that the heat would be conducted up the wire and prevent freezing – would this work or has anybody tried this.

2. The other thing I was thinking was to try and line the existing pipe with something or even try and put another pipe down into it to stop it freezing.

Your help or response would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Re: Hotpoint FFS70S – Blocked fridge drain hole

had a look at the back of the fridge freezer last night but no sign of a pipe connected at the back for the drip tray. back seems all consealed until you get down to the bottom.

Re: Hotpoint FFS70S – Blocked fridge drain hole

Thanks,
Nearly 4 years old, the straw goes all the way in when i try to clean it, so not frozen at the top end, ill check at the back and check if the pipe is frozen lower down, if it is can it be fixed or not? could i perhaps insulate the pipe so it dosent freeze again? out of interest where does the water go then when it enters the pipe?

thanks again
