Nothing works

Check that:

•The mains switch in your home is on.

•There has not been a power cut.

•The plug is properly inserted in the socket and is switched on.

•The socket is working; try another appliance in the socket to check.

•The fuse in the plug is ok - if not replace it,

(see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION).

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool properly.

Check that:

•The doors close well and that the seals are not damaged

•The doors have not been left open too long.

•The thermostat knob is on the correct setting.

•The refrigerator or freezer is not overfilled.

The food inside the refrigerator is too cold

Check that:

•the temperature setting is too low (or not the best).

•The food is not in contact with the back wall - which is the coldest part.

The motor runs constantly

Check that:

•the temperature control is on the correct setting.

•the doors have not been open continuously.

•The room temperature is too high.

The appliance makes too much noise.

The gas refrigerant produces a slight noise even when the compressor is not running (this is not a defect).

Check that:

•The refrigerator is level.

•The appliance was installed between cabinets or objects that vibrate and make noise.

There is water on the bottom of the refrigerator.

Check that:

•The defrost drain is clear from any blockage (see fig. 5).

If after all the checks, the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page) and inform them of: the type of problem, the abbreviation of the model name (Mod.) and the relative numbers (S/N) written on the rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.

Never call on unauthorized technicians and always refuse spare parts which are not originals.
