Hotpoint Fridge Freezer Fan Motor

On frost-free and fan-assisted models, moves cold air around the cabinet and over the cooling coil.

Signs it has failed

• Poor cooling or warm spots in the fridge
• A buzzing, grinding or clicking noise from inside the freezer
• Frost building up where the air does not circulate
• No airflow from the vents

Check before you buy

• Check for ice blocking the fan blades
• Turn the fan blade by hand with the fridge unplugged
• Check the fan is running when the door is opened and the door switch is pressed

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your fridge freezer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the fridge and empty the freezer
2. Remove the freezer drawers and the rear panel
3. Unplug the fan motor and release it from its bracket
4. Fit the new motor and blade, reconnect and refit the panel
5. Restart and allow time to cool

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part
