We have a hot point American style fridge freezer (small version, not a proper full size beast) and we have been having issues with the fridge part losing cold and going warm
We have had Hotpoint out a few times and they keep blaming it on ice build up at the back of the bottom freezer. It uses a Air Tech system from what I gather, it uses a fan or something to take the cold from the freezer at the bottom and feed it through to the top part of the freezer and the fridge.
It will be fine for awhile, we do a shop to fill it with a weeks worth of food etc.. and then it goes, the fridge just looses cold and we end up having to chuck stuff out as it goes manky, wasting so much money on stuff
I’m no expert but it must be something to do with the air tech system right? I can’t see why it cuts out every time we fill it up (this has been ongoing for a month now) and hotpoint have done diagnostic checks and they can’t find a fault so they have just order new drawers and seals for the freezer part.
Anyone here have any ideas about this stuff? I’ve tried Switching it off for a time to see if it will rejig it but no joy. When it goes off it usually comes back to life 2-3 days later
EDIT: I removed all the drawers and took the back panel off and there was a load of ice built up so I took a hair dryer to it and now it’s kick back in again
