Hotpoint RLAV21 Fridge

July 2010. Just purchased this for our works kitchen. The light is ridiculously placed so that it only lights up just the top of the door when opened. The inside of the fridge remains in gloom. Would never have bought it had we known.
ProsCons
Poorly positioned light

Food Freezes Solid. Steer Clear of this Appliance.

Had nothing but problems with this appliance since it was six months old. I bought two appliances and both of them are operating more as a freezer than a fridge. It is impossible to store anything at all as everything freezes solid. Engineers have been and changed the thermostats on both but still having the same problem. It is costing a fortune in damaged food that has had to be thrown away. Even the salad and fruit in the salad box freezes solid. I have been told today that they need regassing which seems really strange. I have had fridges that have lasted me ten years without having this done. Due to be done on 13th July but I am not happy and would like them replaced. Very disappointed with Hotpoint one of my favourite brands. Need a new washing machine but have lost confidence in this make now. .
