Hi I have a hotpoint fridge freezer, the freezer is working fine, but the


fridge is not getting as cold as t should.


The freezer door was not shut properly last week. I closed it and thought


nothing of it. The fridge started not getting cold.


Yesterday I checked the rubber drain thing at the bach, there was no gunk


on it. Inside the freezer section there are what look like vents, they


were frosted over. I used a hair dryer and the frost I could see melted


quickly, 3-4 mins. I thought I had fixed it, but no the fridge section is still warm today.


It is a Hotpoint ff4dx uk.

Common things being common, I'd hazard a guess that there's too much ice

formed in the freezer to allow the door to closed properly.



Try a thorough defrost.

It is a frost free freezer, do I switch it off open the doors and leave it for how long?
