I have a Hotpoint HMB313I integrated fridge freezer. When I open the fridge door no light comes on. Should there be a light in the fridge? If so, could you tell me please where the light(bulb) is located and how to access it. Thank you very much

You will need to unplug and defrost the fridge for a few hours then replug the power. Leaving the doors open allows moisture to freeze on the evaporator while compressor continues to run confusing the control board

door light switch Need full model # for better idea .
but normal switch should be at bottom of door or at hing side of ref
some model have at top it may be broke off and thats why you don't see it send us a full model number we will find for you

It's telling you it has a fault, you have to find out who is doing the warranty work for Baumatic now, by law they have to honor the warranty.

The fridge is just the end of the freezer evaporator. If the freezer isn't cold inside, check the rear panel. It is probably frozen solid with no air getting through. Switch off, leave doors open for 24 hours and be prepared for lots of water to come out. Clean the condenser and make sure the fan inside is ok. Reset the thermostat to middle of the range and be sure to come back to tell us how you get on.

clean the door rubbers and sides this sometimes fixes the problem as the seals are not closing properly and the fridge freezer thinks you have left the door open.

There is a duct between the freezer and refrigerator. Sometimes this duct blocks off with ice and won't allow airflow. Open your refrigerator door and check for air flow if there is none the duct needs to be defrosted. turn off freezer/ refrigerator and defrost.

Luckily the hotpoint helpdesk admitted that the instructions for hanging the kitchen doors does not come as part of the standard instructions. There should be a seperate piece of paper with these instructions.

After some to'ing and fro'ing they managed to email me the required diagram.

Hi Gareth. I fitted a door to my Hotpoint hsz2321L today. I used self tapping screws through the brackets into the fridge door sides. Looking at the old fridge that came out showed that this was the method used previously. No seal is broken and so the fridge is working perfectly. I do have an issue re-fitting the door onto the new fridge though. The pivot hinge on my fridge doesnt give enough clearance and so it catches on the unit at the side of it. The old fridge (a Bosch) cad cabinet hinges that would sort of concertina out to give clearence. Anyway, good luck.

if i read the english right, the compressor runs but the freezer fan only runs for a short time. no fan then no cooling. there is a fan stat so that the fan only runs when the evap is down to temp. this may be faulty. also on some hotpoint, the fan switches off when door opened. check door switch operating ok. this may also explain problem with fridge lamp
