soozypoo's review of Hotpoint FFA97

“absolute pile of kak”

★☆☆☆☆

written by soozypoo on 15/10/2013

have had this fridge freezer now around 5 years and have had the same issues with it as everyone else,i bought it to match the ultima washer i had,

light cover in fridge has never stayed on and constantly drops off,salad drawers cracked after a few months but i could live with that,all the freezer drawer back corners snapped off,and one drawer when openeing it the handle split it in,the main issue is the leaking,it has done this for as long as i can remember and freezes up so bad at the bottom of the freezer round the drain hole

i have pulled this out numerous times removed the panel defrosted the drain hole only for it to bunged up with ice again the next day and water all over the kitchen floor,the bottom drawer is now frozen solid and wont come out as i have tried to remove it to defrost again,and what has really annoyed me this morning is that it has actually pushed the drawer forward hence pushing against the freezer door,i get up this morning to find the freezer door slightly ajar and after doing my shop on saturday the whole contents of the freezer are mush! ,all the repairs say leave the freezer off overnight after defrosting it but how the hell is that possible when you always have food in a freezer,i dont know about anyone else but my freezer is never at the point where i can switch it off to reset,i thought i had it set at too low a temp causing it to frost up but its on -18 you cant have it any warmer than that,jusdging by the amount of people who have had issues with this it has to be a common problem and hotpoint should have done something about it,now if i want to replace my food im gonna have to put a claim on my house insurance and end up paying the first 100 quid which apart from putting my policy up next time just is not gonna be worth doing as there is probably about 150 quid worth of food in there so pay 100 to get 50 back just feels pointless i hate hotpoint!
