Hi as Im new to these forums all I can hope is I do everything right. The problem is my Hotpoint Mistral Plus has decided to give up the ghost and is no longer functioning as the old faithful it has been for a number of years. (Not that many my Hotpoint washer is 25 years old and still functioning)
The problem started the other night when I noticed my tinnies were a bit warm and the fridge compartment temperature had risen to +23 and the freezer compartment had risen to -8. I switched the unit off and allowed it to stand overnight. I switched it back on the following day and hit the fast frost function. The fan kicked in and everything sounded as it should do. The display read fridge compartment temperature +21 and the freezer compartment -3. Eight hours later I checked the temperatures and the fridge compartment temperature had risen to +30 and the freezer compartment had fallen to -11.
When I switch the unit off and then on again the fan kicks in every time and the unit sounds and appears to be working ok but the fridge compartment temperature continues to rise to as much as +32 when the fridge is switched on yet falls when it is switched off whilst the freezer compartment levels off and remains steady at -11
I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer, (Theres a cold beer in it for you) even if that is to go out and buy a new one. Thank you
