Troubleshooting

Ice builds up rapidly inside the fridge

1.Check that nothing is stopping the door from closing properly.

2.Check that foods and liquids are covered to avoid the build up of moisture inside.

3.If your kitchen becomes exceptionally warm, your fridge may not defrost regularly. Automatic defrosting will return to normal operation when the kitchen temperature cools.

3.See ‘Defrosting’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section for advice.

There has been a power failure WARNING: Do not open the freezer compartment door.

If power failure lasts longer than the maximum conservation time (see USEFUL ADVICE section), food should either be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.

If there is still a problem contact Hotpoint Service (See KEY CONTACTS, back page, for contact details).

OPERATING SOUNDS OF A FRIDGE FREEZER

These are the normal types of sound that your fridge freezer will make:

The fridge freezer motor (compressor) makes a buzzing or humming sound when it is running. This can be louder when it is first switched on. This sound will reduce over the first few months.

Gases flowing through the pipes can produce gurgling, bubbling, roaring or humming noises.

Expansion and contraction of parts inside the fridge freezer can produce a cracking noise as they rapidly change temperature.
