Check that the air vent is free from anything blocking it at it maybe over heating.

Short on refrigerant would be a good starting point, pressure temp relationship should be tested by an opperative.

the drain needs to be check for any kind of blockage. if the drain is blocked or frozen over this needs to be cleared

My FZA 84 regularly has to be defrosted as it overheats.We do this by taking off the back panel - as shown by the Hotpoint service man here in Dublin. We use lukewarm water or a hairdryer to defrost the buildup of ice. Why its building up is anyones guess.The repairman suggested we might be leaving the door open but we certainly aren't. I'm very disappointed with the product and I wouldn't be purchasing Hotpoint again.
