SOURCE: freezer door left open will it work again?

yes it must be shut off and completely defrosted.with doors left open it usually takes about 2 days. what happened if you look at the back wall in the freezer from the inside you will see a bunch of ice and there is more behind that panel you are looking at. it froze up the coils so that no air will get through them. good luck rich

Hotpoint FZ175G red warning light comes on freezer still freezing after reset light comes on again after a couple of hours
Red light on for High Freezer Temperature Warning
or freezer not cooling, but fridge is and a lot of noise from compressor.
Also, fridge drain hole blocked, water in bottom of fridge.

This is a common fault in Hotpoint Fridge Freezers and can also happen if the door has been left open or has been a power cut.

1. Turn off fridge freezer, or at least turn down the freezer temp to minimum, though not ideal.
2. Open freezer door and remove all drawers.
3. Remove the back panel on the inside of the freezer. This is held in place with 4 screws, which might be 6mm hex head or star allen head. Pull the panel out.
4. Behind where the panel was, there is a cooling element for cooling, pipes, and below this a temperature sensor. If the fridge freezer is not switched off, then fold together a few layers of tinfoil and wrap around the sensor.
5. Use a hairdryer to slowly melt the ice. Melt it around areas where it appears to be hanging on, such as the corners of the cooling element or bolts, as well as any thin sections below the main block of ice around the cooling element, which will be supporting the main block. Use a plastic ice scraper to remove ice but not near pipes or sensor.
Warning: Be careful using electrics around water & melting ice & drips.
6. Below the cooling element, there is a drip channel & drain hole. If this hole is full of ice, pour a small amound of warm water down, leave for 10 seconds and pour a bit more until clear.
In the fridge, clear the drain hole in the same way.
Warning: Do not pour a lot of water down, as this water drains onto a tray above the hot compressor at the rear of the fridge freezer to be evaporated by the heat of the compressor and the tray will only hold a small amount.
7. When all ice is removed, dry all moisture. Put the shelves back. Close door. Turn on fridge freezer. Turn up the freezer temperature to your normal setting. Turn on fast freeze if available. After 1 hour, check with a thermometer. It should be cold enough after 1 or 2 hours.

Frigidaire freezer has ice accumulating and not freezing properly. Ice cream will not freeze.
Try turning the temperature control to off, unplug the electrical power cord from the power outlet, defrost the appliance, clean the condenser, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet, set the temperature control to a low setting, lay a thermometer in the freezer for a few hours and see what happens to the temperature in the machine.
Check the integrity of the seal of the door gasket by seeing how the door seal will hold a slip of paper in various locations along the freezer door gasket. A loose hold on the slip of paper shows an area where hot moist air can get into the freezer and cause ice build up.

What could be causing my 7 year old upright Frigidaire Model FFU21K2CW0 Freezer to NOT freeze? The inside (of the compartment) coils feel cold, the seal is good, but the ice cream is VERY soft. The...
Your freezer is probably running constantly as well. Lift the bottom vent panel (the one with all the holes in it) and look at the bottom of the back panel. There should be a half inch gap for the cold air return. If you see a solid wall of ice in that gap your coils have frozen over. You need to clean out the freezer and defrost it. Look in the back near the compressor. If your model does not have a drain plug in the bottom then you need to leave the door open and mop up the water as it melts off the coils from the inside. If you can, wheel it outside on a dolly and let it defrost where it can drain on its own. After you are sure it is totally defrosted, plug it back in at a control setting of 5 for at least 4 hours, preferrably overnight, and check the temp. Setting the freezer at 7 will encourage ice buildup. Your problem may be a bad defrost timer, which your local appliance parts store may have.

Left door open, closed next day, but only blowing cool air now
You will need to turn the unit off and let it completely unthaw. There is frost that builds up in the ducts and behind the panels when the door is left open that will cause the unit to not cool or circulate where needed.
