My freezer Hotpoint Mistral FZ60a has stopped working?

Hi there,

I have a Hotpoint Mistral FZ60a Frost Free Freezer and its stopped freezing/working?

Any general advise or comments on what could be the cause?

Many Thanks in advance.

I am not conversent with this model. However, if it has two compressors, one for the fridge and one for the freezer, you will probably find it is a problem with the compressor. It may be shot, or require re-gassing, which requires specialist equipment. If it has only one compressor serving the fridge and freezer, consider adjusting the thermostat and investing in a fridge/freezer thermometer. Check the temperatures of both. Freezer should be at least -18 degrees centigrade, fridrge between 2 and five degrees.

Hi

No the compressor and fan still run, but the freezer is just not cooling?

Is there a gas cylinder that needs changing?

Many Thanks for your help.

Does the compressor run or is it just totally dead ?
