My freezer is the part that isn’t getting cold 😭

I have the same issue, but it keeps frosting once I defrost that area. Within 3 weeks, it becomes a block of ice with no air flow to the fridge. My model is Hotpoint H7T 911A KS H AQUA. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for this, been having this issue for a while, ice cream seemed to be mushy and well....not ice cream. Definitely felt it could be something I could do before calling someone. Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much for this, sorted our fridge out 9 years later!

Thanks to this 9 year old video managed to revive our Hotpoint FFUL 1820 fridge freezer. My model had a polystyrene cover behind the plastic screw board which cane loose after the ice thawed to reveal a huge block of ice blocking the vent that takes the air upstairs. Melted the ice with a hairdryer. Cheers OP!

We're is the ŕeset button on the hotpoint fridge frezzer

Fair idea on what to do. Think u will be better at sign language instead 😂😂

couldnt understand him

Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you!

Yey! You saved me the best part of £400, was just about to give up on my fridge freezer. The frozen section wasn't freezing, although ironically the fridge was still ok. Applied this same method and now it's ice cold. Thanks so much for sharing!

You may need to reset your fridge from the flashing lights alarm state. Push both Fridge and Freezer buttons down and hold for 5 secs. Both lights will light up and you will hear a beep. ua-cam.com/video/vSUEMF-tAt0/v-deo.html Your fridge should be chilling again!

Thank you. You just have saved me £400 to get a new fridge.

Cheers mate. After watched your video I could fix my fridge!

I was eager get a solution, you sounded tired but with a great smile still😁. I almost switched to another video when you laughed, but suddenly, the laughter began to lighten me up. u have saved many people some cash and I hope that I will be one of these lucky ones. Defrosting has helped in the past. I have booked for a £89.99 labour only repair and I hope to fix the problem before the repair man comes to milk my pocket 😁 Thank you.

Just fixed my fridge freezer, your video was a seriously big help thank you so much. AAA+++

Brilliant , I was going to buy a new one tonight but thought I would look at you tube first , I will be trying this tonight .

Thanks buddy 2021 need a fix ask UA-cam

Hi. I would like to add to your video the most important part prior to starting fiddling with your fridge. Health and safety, diagnostics must investigate why is your fridge forming a block of ice on the evaporator. Did you test the defrost heater. Is the air flap mechanism working. Not knowing the task of all components isn’t fixing the problem. This is good for your personal learning but I wouldn’t recommend sharing with other that might get seriously heart. Take care and remember safer above all.

Trying that now. I did notice more than normal ice build up in freezer and the following day fridge isn't keeping cool.

Hi, recently I bought a Hotpoint fridge freezer FFU3D W, could you tell me, please, what is that cable from left fridge door for? I couldn't take off the door because of it. And is it normal that the outer top edge of the freezer and the inside top freezer door to heat up while the fridge is on? Thank you!

Checked out your vid and another uk guy. Spot on, my Hotpoint problem was exactly the same as yours. To help others, don't remove the 'surface' screw, only the recessed ones, that way, the second plate stays attached to the one facing the front door. Remove them together (I didn't, then fitted it back on before install). Vidios like yours help so many people, thanks ! Just a note, my fridge freezer has been running for 11 years without this happening before. Guess it must be a slow build up of ice 🧊

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. just had the panel off and removed the iceberg! Fridge now working great on my Hotpoint FF 200 m

Thankyou so.much ....You explained so easily, I was able to understand. I defrosted the fan.screwed the back panel back in place. Switched on....it took a couple of hours for the freezer to be freezing again. So relieved...saved me money.. So happy.

It looks to me that your defroster has failed.

Thanks posting for this video. Doing this for the second time on my Hotpoint this evening. The first time I called out an engineer who told me exactly what you say in the video, but charged me £50 for 10 minutes of his time. It is 15 years old so not too bad, but I probably won't get a Hotpoint when it finally gives up.

Hi i have a hotpoint. And both the fridge n freezer no longer are cooler. Wev always had it on high setting for cooling. The freezer blows normal air but its not freezing. Any advice would be greatley appreciated.

Thank you! You saved me from buying a new fridge freezer, I actually feel quite chuffed now. Thanks again!!

Fridge, [Hotpoint FF 200 LP] wouldn't chill so expected to have to buy new one, {though hadn't defrosted freezer since bought it so no real surprise is it !}. Trying to avoid new purchase so searching for solutions. Found your vid' and seemed that the interior of my F/F looked similar to yours - was actually another beige cover under the white one with several push clips. Carefully removed both covers and spent several hours carefully taking ice off heat exchanger [?] and mopping up water. Spent a frustrated hour or so pressing buttons and twiddling switches waiting for it to recover but it eventually did !! Result as they say ... Takes a while for the fridge to chill as cold air on this model comes from the freezer section which is below the fridge but all working and more quietly than before. I expect that all the cracking noises that used to occur was the appliance trying to work encumbered by the ice build-up so I shall endeavour to defrost much more frequently. It makes environmental sense to look after appliances !! - SO BIG THANKS Mr Smash :-)

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this 6 years ago! Thanks to you we now actually have somewhere to put our Xmas food shop, as our fridge stopped working this morning! So so grateful!

Had the same issue with my Hotpoint this week. today I emptied it out and used a heat gun at a distance to warm the inside to it. no visible ice given it is frost-free, left if empty and off for a few hours and it amazingly works again. Not sure if the ice I could not see did melt, no water on the floor though?. all I know is something fixed itself.

Excellent idea! I have found we had the same problem, so the fridge freezer needs defrosting.

How did I end up here? 😁

My milk has being going off! Think I might have a go at the thing....my next fridge freezer will NOT be a Hotpoint

I’ve defrosted it as you have and didn’t have much ice anyway but still no cool air getting up to the fridge ! Any ideas what to do next?

Instead of keep defrosting a freezer that is labelled as frost free the main culprit is the heater wrapped around the freezer unit. The heater goes faulty. It’s purpose is to run once everyday and this gets rid of any ice build up ensuring it’s smooth running

No idea if you still read these but quick question... I’ve taken the back panel off and there seems to be polystyrene as well as behind it. Is that supposed to be there?!

Top man, thanks a million 👍

Mate! I thank you, saved me ££££! Well done

After removing the bottom front grill (2 screws inside the freezer door) I found many years of fluf covering the condenser. A thorough clean and hopefully it will be back working again! <image0.jpeg>

My fridge has been off for 2 days now, storing our food at the neighbours. I thought I would give this a go, what could go wrong 😂 and my fridge is back on. Saved my ass, absolute legend, you!

Here we are, years later and Tim Tracker never found the Wagon Wheels he was searching for you.

This is exactly the problem I've got. I think my fridge (- FF 200 L -) is a slight variant to your model, but guessing that the solution is as you've described(!). I bought it in 2010. I couldn't fathom why I could hear the right noise(!) at the back of my fridge section, yet could feel no cold air coming from the air ducts. But the freezer section was working normally. I thought that turning both fridge & freezer temp dials to their minimum settings & then pressing & holding the super cool & super freeze buttons simultaneously for a few seconds - resetting the fridge freezer - might help, but it didn't. I wondered why my milk kept smelling & tasting revolting after just 2 days in my fridge..............

I did this this morning... Does this also have anything to do with why my lights are flashing? At the top the orange lights (or probably what technical people would call 'amber' (even though they're not yellow or amber /: )) are flashing. They've been bugging me for weeks!

Thank you so much for helping me make my fridge fridgey again. Like many, I'm not exactly rolling in money to say the least and your video (which, incidentally is very video-ey) has saved me years of (financey) finance especially as this is MOT week for the car too. Thank you once again.

UA-cam was my last resort and this is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank You mate 👍🏻

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! 😍 It seems like my fridge is back to normal! 😀 You are a lifesaver! And foodsaver 😄 I believe the ice-problem is caused by me stuffing the freezer WAY to full! A good excuse to be eating icecream this weekend 😋🍦
