hotpoint mistral
hi there, i am sorry i am unable to offer any technical assistance. i am looking for help myself! i have a Hotpoint Mistral approx 10years old, yesterday the fridge stopped working and saw it go to +21, whereas the freezer remained at -22 but the kids icecream had melted (think this was the heat from the fridge). tonight i heard a 'crack and pop' and it appeared to start cooling again, the only problem is that somewhere there is now a whirring (knocking sort of noise). having read some forums and some very useful tips i am now looking for some advice on which part to buy and what i need to take apart.
any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers for now.

Re: hotpoint mistral
Worth emptying both compartments,switch off for MINIMUM of 24 hours,it may be blocked with frost behind freezer back panel,maybe a sensor failure.
if you defrost it ,it may well spring back to life,if the fault re-occurs in a couple of weeks then sensors will nmeeed checking.
Could have been started by a "pesky" kid leaving door ajar for a few hours,worth a try before you splash the cash.
