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

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?

Well if it's really frost free, that would be a bit of a waste of time.
Sounds like it's b*ggered. ;-)

Google sez the FF4DX is quite expensive. If it is a frost free fridge there
should not be a drain hole in the fridge compartment.
If it is a frost free freezer compartment there should not be ice in the
freezer compartment.
OP should turn the piece of frost free **** off overnight and leave the
doors open.
Why do people buy frost free?
