My Hotpoint fridge freezer appears to be broken and I don't know what to do!
I can call someone out but that costs money and I don't want to spend money and then have to buy a new one anyway.
Basically, the fridge is freezing everything inside even though I have turned it to the lowest setting.
The 'freezer temperature too high' warning light has been displayed on and off for a week or more. It has remained on for the past day or two and last night food was defrosting so i emptied it and this morning the freezer is not cold at all.
Someone told me it sounded like the 'gas had gone' and as a leak could rarely be located it would cost lots to fix and might only be ok for a week or two and then break again. They told me to buy a new one.
An engineer told me it sounded fixable but is that just because he'll get paid even if he can't repair it?
It's only two and a half years old. Help me......please....
