Food in the freezer has defrosted

The location of you fridge freezer is very important. If the the temperature of the room is to cold then the fridge will simply not turn on. This means the food in the freezer will start to defrost. As a guide the temperature of the room should not go colder than 10 degrees C.Examples of a cold area could be a garage during the winter or a cold pantry or kitchen. If the appliance shuts down then heat the surroundings or consider moving you machine to a warmer part of your home. Hoover do not recommend installing fridge freezers in garages.

Check to see if the machine has been unplugged or the fuse in the plug has blown. Plug another appliance that is working in the socket to check for mains power. Should this appliance does not work then it may be your socket at fault? There may be an isolator switch somewhere else in the room check that it is switched on. Also check that the fuse or trip has not blown on your consumer unit or main fuse box.
