I have had my Hotpoint fridge/freezer for 6 years and it has given good service but now the vent hole which drains the water from the fridge has blocked leaving puddles of water under the salad drawers. Bottle rack wasn't strong enough. That broke along the lugs which hold it in place after about 3 months.

Owned this appliance for over three years and its now packed in, not good. My previous fridge freezer ( Candy I think) lasted 13 years and two house moves.
The design of the Hotpoint worked very well for us but its working parts are just not durable.

A teething problem was food defrosting in the Hotpoint FFA60 freezer, caused, according to the service engineer, by a fan component not having been properly glued in place. It's a pity Hotpoint's quality control lets down what is otherwise a simple, well designed product, albeit not a premium quality item. Since then it's functioned perfectly, survived a house move and still looks OK. I bought a Hotpoint fridge because my Mum had one for 20+ years, but I guess that was in the old days when quality mattered.

Sandra Colom's Response to BigMike65's Review

I found this review very helpful because...My Hotpoint FFA60 bought in January of 2006 is doing exactly the same since Last winter my husband cleared it all by taking the inside of the freezer apart because the water was not escaping into the water tray from either the fridge or the freezer it was absolutely fine then until this winter then it started again so we are again trying to free the ice build up in the fridge compartment. Roll on warmer weather and then perhaps it will be okay, but cannot stand the thought of another winter like this one (fridge Freezer Wise).
