Hi I wonder if someone would be able to help.

I have a Hotpoint FFA71 and had it re-gassed 5 months ago. The Freezer High Temp Light is on and have set the Freezer temp to the Coldest but still the high temp light remains on. Theres a lot of frost on the back wall of the Fridge section and this is actually Freezing and is set on the Warmest Setting. I know the simplest thing to do would be to swap the food from the fridge to the freezer section and Vice versa lol. When i turn the fridge freezer on the freezer starts to freeze and the compressor runs and here a click. it then works for so long and then stops freezing after about 10 mins. The fan runs in the freezer section for 5 or 10 secs on switching the fridge freezer on. the pipes start to frost up and then they start to melt after so long. there are 2 x thermostat in freezer section one in the metal frosty part (lol) and one layed near the bottom of the freezer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much Paul.

this appliance has embedded thermistors, ie they are not replaceable.
