    As with others our fridge freezer failed after only 4 years. Symptoims were the same as others - freezer warning light on permanently and neiother freezer nor fridge were cold even though the motor was running all the time. I will not go near Hotpoint again.

    After four and a half years, the freezer compartment cannot now get its temperature below -10 C and food is not freezing properly. The red high temp warning light is almost permanently on and the fan runs much of the time but to no avail.

    Internet searches reveal this is a common problem which Hotpoint must surely know about - it is evidently a design flaw. As such they should never have sold this model in the first place and ought to repair all such failures free of charge.

    My Hotpoint FFA71P broke down within roughly 3,5 years. I would expect a fridge freezer to last 5-10 years, or even longer. My last fridge freezer lasted 15 years and family, friends & colleagues have had fridge freezers (not Hotpoint) that have lasted many years. Although there was a Hotpoint parts (but not labour charges) guarantee for 5 years, I decided not pay out for a repair as I do not think any repair would be reliable. I would be loathe to buy any Hotpoint appliance in the future.

    Yesterday after 2 years 5 months the red light came on on my Hotpoint FFA71P and freezer contents defrosted, had to be thrown away. The fridge part works but is running continuously. Hotpoint wanted £100 to send out an engineer. My last fridge/freezer an Indesit lasted 20 years. I wish I had shopped around more before deciding on a Hotpoint and would not buy another. Money wasted & I still have to get someone to try and fix this one.

    The Hotpoint FFA71P is very noisy.After 2 years and 11 months of trouble-free refrigeration, the Freezer High Temp red warning light came on and all the food in the freezer had thawed out. Despite switching the "Fast Freeze" button on, 3 days later, still no working freezer.

    The Hotpoint FFA71P is great if you intend to buy a new one every year, if not (like most) steer clear!

    Do not buy this Hotpoint Fridge Freezer, or any other hotpoint product.
