Default Hotpoint Fridge 1998 Stops Periodically with Period in Months.

(Shilpa Singh) wrote in message . com...

Hi,

I have opened the Freezer panel on the evaporator coil and have found
that I can reduce the time it is off by using hair dries to remove ice
from the evaporator coil.


There should be no "ice" in the freezer area, ice might be an
indication of the fridge defrosting but the defrost water is not
running away and the ice is building up chocking off the air flow.


Other than that there is no difference in working of this fridge. I
have read about defrost timers etc but nothing correlates to this
behavior. Any suggestion.


We don't use the Freezer part for meat it
has light stuff only e.g. Ice cream or some mixed veg bags and some
fries. No meat.


Icecream needs ot be colder than meat does to freeze!
