I have had one of these for three years FF200s and it is clear that it suffers from a major design fault
due to build up of ice behind the rear freezer panel which blocks the cold air to the fridge. The switch control that works the cold air flap to admit that air is also suspect. Having taken the thing to bits to clear it, there are serious deficiencies in build quality and electrical connector assembly standards.
It is made by INDESIT but my email to the chief exec. was ignored. Hotpoint 'help' are always busy [hardly surprising - busy means shortstaffed or swampwed by complaints]
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. I would not bother to get any repair done as it is design at fault.
