Same as the other reviews, light flicks on and off, draws in freezer broke straigh away and the the top draw smashed through the wall of the freezer so got stuck, fridge gets warm n freezer is thick of ice all the time so I am always having to defrost....I would not recommend!!!

had my unit for 5yrs until i started to hear the fan making a chopping noise , thought it would sort it self out as it did but then the fridge section was getting warm , so i removed the freezer cover panel to have a look for myself, checked fan ok ,etc so i just defrosted the pipes unit etc with a hairdryer, restarted the fridge stuck my own thermometer inside the fridge section to test temp, but it only got to 5 degree no as it says on the display of 2 degree set at.fingers cross lol hope it sorts itself out again ,its a funny noisy unit shame i didnt get the extended warranty boohoo!

I have had the same problem, had the appliance for about four years and then about a month ago the freezer started to frost up, a couple of days ago the fridge just stopped working - the display says 2 but it isn't cold. The engineer said at first that defrosting should fix the problem but has now condemned it as electrically unsafe as the compresser (?) is shorting out. Lovely looking product with a great capacity but none of that is any good if it doesn't work. Shame :-(

Also had this Freezer for 53.5 years, extended guarantee for 2 years with fear that (popping and banging) was about to end its life. 6 months out of extended guarantee, Fridge compartment has stopped working. Defrosted Freezer, but suspect fan in Freezer fas failed. May try a replacement, but could be good money wasted on an already disappointing hotpoint product.
Hopefully I will send this page link of complaints to hotpoint and make the point obvious to them!

Very dissapointed with this fridge freezer,not even 2 years old and costing nearly £400 it broke down without any warning. It is a good looking fridge freezer on the outside but the interior fittings are very poor.Lightbulb cover kept falling off had to selotape it to keep it on.Interior drawers flimsy and cracked very easy.Would not buy a hotpoint product ever again.
