Common Hotpoint freezer problems
Not freezing
On frost-free models, a defrost heater, thermostat, control or evaporator fan. On chest freezers, the thermostat, the start relay or a refrigerant leak.
Frost building up
A door seal that doesn't close tight, or a defrost system failure.
Runs all the time
Dirty condenser coils, a door that doesn't seal, or low refrigerant.
Water under the freezer
A clogged defrost drain.
Check these before you call
If one of these fixes it, you don't need us.
- If the freezer is in the garage, check the manual. Not every model is built for Florida garage heat.
- Set it to 0°F and give it a few hours to recover after the door was left open.
- Vacuum the coils and leave a few inches of space around the freezer for air.
Repair or replace?
A sealed-system leak on an older chest freezer usually costs more to fix than the freezer is worth. We'll tell you before any work.

Are you an authorized Hotpoint service center?
No. Fix Now Appliance is an independent repair company, not affiliated with Hotpoint. If your Hotpoint freezer is still under the manufacturer's warranty, call Hotpoint first, because their warranty repair is free. Once it's out of warranty, we can fix it.

Keep the door closed. A full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours, a half-full one for about 24.
