Describe each compartment's change
Report softened frozen contents, warm fresh food or unexpected freezing separately. Include alarms and any temperature reading already available, distinguishing a measured value from the selected setting. Protect perishable contents independently; sending an enquiry does not guarantee an immediate visit or safe continued storage.
Ice, water and door closure
Identify where ice or water appears and whether each door closes normally. Do not chip ice, force drawers or remove internal panels. Tell us about a recent power interruption, relocation or door left open without assuming it explains a persistent problem. Defrost arrangements must be confirmed from the actual model manual.
Split, furniture doors and access
State the compartment layout and whether the appliance is integrated. Mention sliding or fixed furniture-door arrangements if known and use accessible model/service information. Do not pull a heavy fitted unit out to find a label. A replacement needs cabinet, ventilation and door compatibility checked separately.
Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the fridge freezer safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.
Details to include with this request
- Model/service reference and compartment layout.
- Which compartment changed and any measured temperature.

- Integrated fitting and recent power/installation changes.
Identify the exact Hotpoint model
Send the full model, serial and service information from accessible paperwork or a label. Use Hotpoint's current support and safety-notice routes for your exact appliance; do not move a fitted unit to find the plate. Hotpoint UK help and model-specific advice
Copy the complete reference as printed, including any suffix. Use an accessible label or your appliance paperwork; leave built-in units, electrical covers and heavy appliances in place. If the label cannot be reached safely, explain this when you contact us.
For the manufacturer’s explanation of the feature discussed here, see Hotpoint UK appliance support.
If you are considering a replacement
Send the old and new models, overall dimensions and any water-connection requirement. For integrated models, include the compartment split and furniture-door hinge arrangement if known.

Hotpoint fridge freezer repair questions
Does a working freezer rule out a fridge fault?
No. Describe both compartments independently. The assessment depends on the model and the pattern of cooling, rather than assuming one working section proves the other is safe.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type. Our office confirms the service address and applicable amount by phone before arranging your visit. The agreed charge covers the first visit, repair labour and any return visit needed to fit parts for the same agreed repair. There is no extra labour or repeat call-out charge for that repair. Parts are priced separately and approved before fitting.
What details help with a Hotpoint fridge freezer repair enquiry?
Report the fridge and freezer symptoms separately, including alarms and any temperatures measured with a suitable thermometer. A display setting alone does not establish food temperature. Do not dismantle the cooling system.
