Hotpoint ffA71 I have a problem with my fridge freezer, the problem is that the food in the top drawer of the freezer will not stay frozen, I have checked the black pot at the back of the appliance it is hot, but not excessively so. Does this need re-gassing?

Mine is the same, freezer doesnt work properly. Red high temp light is always on. Tested the thermostats and this is OK. Ice is built up on the back of the freezer and even when defrosted it still freezes up!Mine is the same, freezer doesnt work properly. Red high temp light is always on.

Only time regassing is needed is if there has been a leak. check fan is going. remove back plate inside freezer and check for ice build up. if clogged with ice then get back to me

it could be that your fridge,freezer setting is not turned up high enough to keep the freezer cold enough.turn it up to setting number 5 at least and if that dont do it u could have a faulty thermostat.have it checked by a engineer.
Hi, I'm Mark. Check the position of the two controls at the top of the unit inside the fresh food compartment. SET BOTH controls to the 12 o'clock position. Wait about a hour, then check temperatures. Then wait another hour and check temperatures again. Record the values on a piece of paper. When you do check fridge temperatures, do so quickly as the compartments become warm just a few seconds after the doors are opened. Please let me know what happens to the fresh food readings. Thanks, Best Regards, Mark
This is due to excessive condensation and in bottom freezers due to proximity of the compressor.There is some residual water falling on to the drawers which forms the ice and this must be prevented. make sure that the frozen foods that was stocked did not loose water into the bottom till we can suspect the freezer. Also frequent opening of the freezer will allow for condensation whicj must be wiped out at intervals.
This can prevent some ice formation and also check if there is leak from the evaporator trays to the freezer during defrosting.
Make sure the freezer fan motor is running. Remove the rear panel in the freezer and check for frozen coils. If coils are frozen replace the defrost heater and thermostat. Check the air vents to the fresh food section,are they frozen closed?
Your defrost drain hole is clogged. Look for the drain hole in the bottom rear of the freezer section. Turn off the fridge. Heat the drain hole with a hair dryer and clear the ice. Pour a quarter cup of bleach into the hole.
Sounds as though the compressor has stopped working. It feeds both compartments with control from a printed circuit above the top door.Where all your red lights are ablaze! (This can be replaced by removing the 2 screws and "clicking" out the small panel) Check that the compressor is running at the bottom rear of the fridge/freezer before anything else.
