What's inside a Hotpoint refrigerator
Most Hotpoint refrigerators are top-freezer designs with a single evaporator behind the freezer's back panel and a fan that pushes air through a damper into the fresh-food side. The diagnosis path is short. A cold freezer over a warm fridge usually means frost choking the evaporator after a defrost failure, or a fan that has stopped. If both sections warm and the compressor clicks on and off, the start relay or the condenser fan comes next. A Hotpoint kept as a second fridge in a cold basement or on an unheated back porch can act strangely in winter, since many refrigerators are designed for a heated room; the owner's manual lists the room temperatures it's built for.
Parts that tend to fail on Hotpoint refrigerators

Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Cold air comes from the freezer's evaporator, and a fan sends it down to the fridge. When defrost fails, ice blocks that path. We test the defrost heater, thermostat and control, and the fan.
Many refrigerators rely on a thermostat in the fresh-food side, and in a cold room that side rarely calls for cooling, so the freezer warms. Check the manual's ambient temperature range. If the fridge is inside that range, we test the controls.
