Hotpoint FF91 Fridge too warm, and freezer frosting quickly?
Hotpoint Mistral FF91 Fridge/Freezer 2001 model.
The Freezer temp is -22C but Fridge temp goes up to ambient (+15C). There is a build up of ice in freezer (behind the rear panel at the bottom), and once defrosted, the fridge works again for about a week. When the Fridge temp rises, the cooling fan stops, and no cold air is pumped up to the Fridge, although the transfer duct is clear, and the motorised flap in the top LH corner of the fridge is OPEN.
I guess the problem relates to the premature ice build-up in the freezer, as a result of no "defrosting" taking place.
What parts may have failed, and how can I check this.
