I has a similar problem with mine (4 years old, noisy, tripped the breaker, but also not cooling properly) and the cooling fan blade had separated from the fan motor. You can SEE the fan at the back of the freezer behind the slotted panel. If that's the problem, it's easier to relace the fan than it is to change the toilet paper roll. Empty the freezer, unsnap the plastic cover, unplug the fan motor, unscrew it, and replace. Just turn off the fridge first.

Tripping a circuit breaker (by any device) is an issue that is not easily (safely) addressed on-line. Besides an actual problem with the device in question, one must consider: a) Too many high current devices already on the circuit (toasters, microwaves, washing machines, etc.) that contribute/cause the issue. b) A circuit breaker that trips much more easily than it should (from tripping too much - common problem), and should be replaced.
c) The device in question needs the compressor replaced (very rare in a two-year old device), but can become damaged during shipment - on it's side. d) Damaged sub-component (eg. one of the fans), probably easily found by locating the source of the noise.

I have a Hotpoint mistral plus 8596. I left the freezer door open by mistake and now the freezer has defrosted and the motor is noisy

Category moved from Computers to Hotpoint Refigerators. Larry doesn't like foreign stuff in his section. He has however given you the correct answer.

In 24 hours, it will have cooled, done a complete cycle including a Defrost. Your manual for extra points.

The motor is constantly running and so so noisy and the outsides of the freezer get extremely hot

Unit is low on gas. You may be able to have it regassed but it will probably need to be done again at some time in the future as there must be a leak somewhere in the gas circuit.

Re; hotpoint refrigerator

probably the blades are hitting something , slide the fridge out and inspect, as far as it running all the time, many fridges run a lot more often than you think. the fan being noisy is drawing your attention to it more now.

The problem you describe could be caused by a lot of different things. To start with, is the fan in the freezer running?
