The fridgefreezer has power but no cooling or freezing

The fridgefreezer has power (light is on) but has stopped cooling and freezing. It happened once and restarted, but this time it doesn't restart

    I have the same problem with my fridgefreezer.



    The big black box is hot, and the little box on the side (which sounds like it has a motor in it) is making a noise and vibrating.



    Any suggestions how to fiz it? Apart from a couple of cobwebs there is not significant dirt.



    Please help-I cant afford a new fridge!

Most likely there is low voltage to the unit or the compressor is bad. Is the condenser coil very dirty and if this unit has a condenser fan does it run?

Why does super cool and super freeze orange lights flash

A blinking orange light on appliances such as refrigerators and freezers indicates that the "supercool" or "superfreeze" feature is active. These features are designed to quickly cool or freeze the contents inside the device. A flashing light serves as a visual cue that the unit is actively working to quickly cool or freeze food. Once the desired temperature is reached, the light will stop flashing, indicating the unit has completed the cooling or freezing process.

Fridgefreezer running but not cooling/freezing

This can be caused by a defective defrost timer. As to whether this is your issue I would need to plug one in, there is no way to really test them except by symptoms, such as the one you have.

Hotpoint quadrio fridgefreezer 2 years old ,not cooling and not freezing,motor was running but has now also stopped,someone surgested moduel was broke any surgestions

These types of refrigerators usually have cooling issues related to defective defrost heaters and failed evaporator fans. I don't believe the compressor has failed. The compressor has a run capacitor and a separate klixon, contact, and fuse attached to the compressor shell that has a tendency of failing. I would check that. It usually makes a clicking sound, but the compressor will not start.
