Repair guidance / Hotpoint / BR2
The fridge is warm but the freezer seems normal
Keep the two compartment observations separate and provide any existing temperature reading. Cooling performance, airflow and controls can produce overlapping symptoms. Protect perishable food and minimise door opening while arranging an assessment of an accepted conventional model.
A different pattern: the freezer temperature rises
Report the warning indication, any existing temperature reading and whether food has begun to soften. Do not rely on the sound of the appliance as proof that food is being kept cold. This service excludes compressor replacement and sealed refrigerant-circuit work.
A repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs
Include the floor level, entry arrangements and any stairs between the entrance and the equipment. These are practical booking details, not a reason to move the appliance yourself or promise that a repair can be completed on arrival.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the fridge is warm but the freezer seems normal”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the fridge is warm but the freezer seems normal”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the freezer temperature rises”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Hayes postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the freezer temperature rises” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
