Flashing lights on hotpoint fridge

I don't know about all the flashing lights. but if your refrigerator isn't working, but the freezer is, It is usually your cooling fan is not working

forget "settings"get a thermostat and run the freezer at -18c and the fridge at +5 these are the ideal temps for storage and economy.

Hi I found the hotpoint site, from there i found the manual for my fridge freezer.

I turned the fridge and freezer off using the circular dials, I then turned the unit off at the mains. Left it for a few minutes and then turned the power back on. I then turned the circular dials to "max" and then depressed the super cool and super freeze buttons to turn this facility on. This time they came on normally (not flashing) and no alarm sounded. The fridge and freezer then started to get cold. Once the unit had been running for several hours I then turned the dials to the 3/4 mark and depressed the super cool and super freeze buttons again to turn them off. Over night the fridge and the freezer appear to be working properly so I hope that my problem is solved. Maybe the unit just needed to "settle" before being switched on?

Make sure fridge OFF freezer OFF ... then turn mains on. ONLY turn freezer to max, after 30mins put fridge to 1care ... this should overcome the problem of the flashing lights. When both nice and cool turn settings down. it worked for me

It is ice build up in the ducts in the fridge/Freezer section. If you switch off and let it defrost with doors open for 24hrs all will be OK. I have just paid £100 for a call out just to be told this solution to the problem which is something that should be in the inst. manual or told when reporting this fault to try first. One big con from Hotpiont.

if its a ge i would say itsyour main board not compressor boards about 200

Turn the second knob at the top to off (freezer knob) turn the fridge freezer off. Then turn it back on. That may sort it. Or you may need to totally defrost the machine as there could be some ice blocking some vents. May need to remove the back panel of the freezer for this (inside).

Solution #2 did the trick for me...fingers crossed!

GE Hotpoint has a history of bad fans and poor customer service. Unfortunate and a costly defect. Repair this yearly, forever or trash and buy new???
