my Mistral plus (hotpoint fridge freezer) model 8596 is 15 years old. Recently been making loud and irregular periods of strong vibrating type noise from low down at back, Temp' gauge now shot up from regular 4.c to 23'C and freezer only showing -11'C............ fearing its days are finally numbered...... any likleyhood of an easy cheapish repair ?
