Hi we have just bought a used hotpoint ff200E fridge freezer and the light inside the fridge doesn't come on when the door is opened i have checked the bulbs using my old fridge and they are ok,does anyone know what else it could be ive looked for the switch around the door and cant find one do you know where the door light switch is located please so that i can check it ?
Door light switch Need full model # for better idea .
but normal switch should be at bottom of door or at hing side of ref
some model have at top it may be broke off and thats why you don't see it send us a full model number we will find for you

if the door seals are both ok, check and see if she has any open containers in the fridge juice ect that may be allowing moisture to escape. a model number and serial nuber off the sticker in the fridge would help me with more ideas.

probably a bad socket. 10-12 years old metal would not likely to last inside a freezer box.corrosion could have eaten the metals...
SOURCE: bulbs and bottom pcb blew, replaced but still not working
the start and run capacitors of the compressor can go short circuit and cause a big spike that can blow the bulbs, trip fuse etc. Inspect the capacitors for splits etc, you may well find that the start cap has blown and so there will not be enough current to get the compressor running.
SOURCE: flashing lights super chill super freeze
This is probably because you turned off the fridge at the mains (to defrost??). To stop the flashing lights and to restore normal operation, turn both the Supercool and Superfreeze knobs counterclockwise to "off" and then back to the operating position. Thats all!

How to check
everything
http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/refrigerator.php
If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer
are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of
cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.
check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In
most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board.
If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.
You can turn the defrost timer till it clicks
and everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replace
the timer. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn the
timer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.
Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use
and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater
comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips
into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the
freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.
