Discuss Hotpoint HMB313I fridge clicking on and off continuously in the Electrical Appliances Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Woke up to my fridge clicking on and off every few seconds. It seems like it’s trying to start but then a relay/switch trips and it turns off. The lights inside and the LED display go off as well when it “clicks”. Here’s a video
Is this a common fault that’s easy to fix by replacing a part or do I need to get a specialist to look into it?
Thanks in advance
- TL;DR
- Fridge stuck in a restart loop
A few months have passed, did you manage to deal with this problem? If so, please share the solution for those who come across a similar situation. I decided to read the
instructions for this model and found several possible reasons:
1. Motor protection control is triggered
2. Problem with the motor protection relay (should turn on 8 minutes after connecting)
3. Unreliable connection of the power cable
4. Incorrectly set positions of the refrigerator and freezer knobs.
