Why does the freezer work but the refrigerator does not cool?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/06/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If the freezer is working properly but the refrigerator is not cooling, here are the points to check:

Priority Checkpoints

  • Thermostat - Check that the thermostat adjustment knob is not in the off position (·). Adjust it to a mid-range position to allow cold air to circulate to the refrigerator compartment.
  • Refrigerator Door - Ensure that the door closes properly and seals tightly. A faulty closure causes a loss of cold air and an increase in temperature.
  • Ventilation Circuit Obstruction - In this model, cold air circulates from the freezer to the refrigerator. Check for any buildup of frost or ice that could block the ventilation openings (usually at the back or top of the freezer).
  • Position and Environment - The appliance should not be placed near a heat source. Leave at least 10 cm of free space behind the unit to ensure good air circulation.
  • Red Light On - According to the manual, if the red alarm light remains on, this indicates a temperature control problem. Check all the previous points.

If after these checks the refrigerator still does not cool despite the freezer working properly, there may be an issue with the distribution of cold air between the two compartments. Please contact an authorized Hotpoint technician providing the model number BCB 7030 AA and the service number (visible on the internal label).

USER MANUAL BCB 7030 AA HOTPOINT

Instructions for use

Remove the ice cube tray (if available), fill it with water to 2/3 and put it back in the freezer. Under no circumstances use sharp objects to remove the ice.

Removing the drawers (depending on the model):

Pull the drawers out as far as they go, lift them up and remove them. To free up more space, the drawers can be removed from the freezer compartment.

Place the food on the wire shelf or rollers, making sure the door is properly closed.

In models with an internal

freezer compartment, fresh food can be frozen. The amount of food that can be frozen within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate.

How to freeze fresh food:

  • Place the food on the wire shelf, if available (figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the freezer compartment (figure 2).
  • Place the food in the middle of the compartment, so that it does not come into contact with already frozen food. Leave a gap of about 20 mm between packages (figures 1 and 2).

Figure 1HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - How to freeze fresh food: - 1

Figure 2HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - How to freeze fresh food: - 2

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (depending on the model)

In models with a No Frost system, the defrosting process is automatic. In other models, the formation of frost is normal.

The amount and speed of frost formation depend on the ambient temperature and the frequency of door openings. It is recommended to set a lower temperature or activate the fast freeze function (if available) (see the user manual) a few hours before removing food from the freezer, so that it stays frozen longer during defrosting. To defrost, switch off the appliance and remove the drawers. Place the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt. To prevent water from leaking during defrosting, place an absorbent cloth at the bottom of the freezer and wring it out regularly. Wipe out the freezer and dry it thoroughly. Switch the refrigerator back on and put the food back in.

STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on model)

The STOP FROST system (depending on model) facilitates defrosting of the freezer compartment. The special STOP FROST shelf (figure 1) is designed for easy collection of water, which reduces the duration of defrosting of the freezer compartment.

(depending on model)

The compartment with zero temperature Active0 is designed specifically for maintaining low temperature and proper humidity for longer storage of products (for example, meat, fish, seafood, and vegetables).

The Active0 function with humidity control technology ensures optimal preservation of partially packaged products.

HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on model) - 1

Switching the compartment on and off

When the compartment is switched on, the internal temperature is approximately 0°C.

To switch on the compartment, press the button shown in the figure and hold it for more than a second until the symbol lights up.

The lit symbol indicates that the compartment is working. To switch off the compartment, press the button again and hold it for more than a second. To completely switch off the compartment, you must pull out the drawer.

HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - Switching the compartment on and off - 1

For the zero-temperature compartment Active0 to function correctly, it is necessary:

  • that the refrigerator compartment is switched on; - that the temperature is set between +2°C and +6°C; - to activate the zero-temperature compartment, you must insert the drawer;
  • that none of the following special functions are selected: "Cooling mode", "Cooling off", "Vacation" (if present); in this case, you must remove products from the compartment.

Notes:

  • if the symbol does not light up when you switch on the compartment, check that the drawer is inserted correctly; if the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.
  • If the compartment is switched off and the drawer is open, the symbol on the control panel may turn off automatically and then turn on again when the drawer is inserted back into place.
  • Depending on the position of the drawer, weak sounds may be heard, which is normal.
  • When the drawer is switched on, the temperature in it depends on the overall temperature of the refrigerator compartment. In this case, it is recommended to store fruits and vegetables that are not sensitive to cold (e.g., peas, onions, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).

Important: if the drawer is switched on and it contains products with high moisture content, condensation may form on the shelves. In this case, temporarily switch off the function. Be careful when placing small products and small containers on the upper shelf of the drawer with zero temperature, so that they do not accidentally fall into the space between the shelves and the back wall of the refrigerator compartment.

To remove the drawer with zero temperature,

perform the following steps:

- For easier cleaning, it is recommended to empty (and if possible remove) the lower drawer; - Switch off the drawer; - Remove the drawer by lifting it upwards; - Remove the white plastic shelf under the drawer;

Note: The upper shelf and side holders are not removable.

To use the drawer with zero temperature again, carefully insert the white plastic shelf above the drawer, then insert the drawer and switch on the function. To increase the volume of the refrigerator compartment and reduce energy consumption, it is recommended to switch off the drawer with zero temperature and remove it.

From time to time, clean the drawer and its parts with a cloth soaked in warm water (do not immerse the white shelf or the drawer in water) with a neutral detergent intended for cleaning refrigerators. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Before cleaning the drawer (including the outside), it is necessary to remove the drawer and disconnect the electrical supply to the drawer.

IN THE EVENT OF NON-USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it. Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the compartments. By doing this, you avoid the development of mould and bad odours.

IN THE EVENT OF AN INTERRUPTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as possible. Do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. If there is a prolonged power cut, the black out alarm may also activate (in products with electronics).

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink.

The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely automatically.

The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the compartment is a sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and then collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Depending on the model, the product may be equipped with a special "Zero Degrees" compartment, which is ideal for storing fresh meat and fish.

Warning: do not clean refrigerator accessories in a dishwasher.

Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors.

Note: in very humid conditions, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock), wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan, if there is one.

Removing the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on the model)

Pull the drawer outwards as far as it will go, lift it up and take it out.

To make it easier to remove the fruit and vegetable drawer, it may be necessary to empty (and possibly remove) the two lower door shelves and then continue to remove the drawer.

Fan and antibacterial anti-odour filter (depending on the model)

The fan allows for the even distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and, consequently, better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area. The fan can be turned on/off manually (see the Quick Guide); if it is turned on, it operates automatically when necessary.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Model with separate freezer compartment

The freezer compartment ** allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely. It is advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. It is important to wrap the food in a way that prevents the ingress of water, humidity or condensation.

Making ice cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray (if available) with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice under any circumstances.

Removing the drawers (depending on the model)

Pull the drawers outwards as far as they will go, lift them up and remove them. To get more volume, the freezer compartment can be used without the drawers.

Make sure that the door is closed properly after putting the food back on the grilles/shelves.

Models with an internal product compartment

In the freezer compartment *** you can also freeze fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate.

How to freeze fresh food:

  • Arrange the food on the grille, if present (figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the compartment (figure 2).
  • Put the food in the middle of the compartment without it coming into contact with food that is already frozen, keeping a distance of about 20 mm (figures 1 and 2).

Figure 2HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - How to freeze fresh food: - 2

HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

(depending on the model)

For frost-free models, it is not necessary to carry out any defrosting procedures.

For other models, the build-up of frost is a normal occurrence.

The quantity and speed of frost accumulation vary depending on the ambient conditions and how often the door is opened. It is advisable to set the temperature colder or, if available, turn on the quick freeze function (see Quick Guide) four hours before removing the food from the freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during the defrosting phase. To defrost, turn the appliance off and remove the drawers. Put the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.

Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.

Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside.

STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on the model)

The STOP FROST SYSTEM (available depending on the model) facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory (figure 1) is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment.

To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory, follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below.

PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY

  • Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper drawer (figure 2).
  • Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory (figure 3) and remove it (figure 4), taking care not to drop it on the glass shelf below. Note: if the accessory is jammed or difficult to remove, do not keep trying to remove it, but proceed with the complete defrost of the freezer compartment.
  • Close the door to the freezer compartment.
  • Remove the frost on the accessory by rinsing it under running (not hot) water (figure 5).
  • Let the accessory drip dry and dry the plastic parts with a soft cloth.
  • Reinsert the accessory by placing the back part on the projections shown in figure 7-A, then refasten the handle of the accessory to the clasps above (figure 7-B).
  • Reinsert the upper drawer and close the door to the freezer compartment.

It is possible to clean the STOP FROST accessory on its own without completely defrosting the freezer compartment. Cleaning the STOP FROST accessory regularly helps to reduce the need to completely defrost the freezer compartment.

Note: the product specifications, including volume and energy, are calculated without the STOP FROST accessory.

Freezer compartment of the product

In the freezer compartment, you can freeze fresh and frozen food. The amount of frozen food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate.

How to freeze fresh food:

  • Place the food on the shelves, if available (Figure 1), or directly on the bottom of the compartment (Figure 2).
  • Place the food in the center of the compartment so that it does not come into contact with already frozen food, leaving a distance of about 20 mm (Figures 1 and 2).

Figure 1HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - How to freeze fresh food: - 1

Figure 2HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - How to freeze fresh food: - 2

HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (depending on model)

For the model without a defrosting procedure, it is not necessary to perform a defrosting procedure.

For models with manual defrosting, defrosting is normal.

The amount and speed of defrosting vary depending on the ambient conditions and the frequency of door opening. It is recommended to set a lower temperature, if available, and to enable the fast freezing function (see the quick guide) four hours before removing food from the freezer compartment, to extend the storage time of food during the defrosting process. To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove the food. Place the frozen food in a cool place. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. To avoid water spillage during defrosting, it is recommended to place an absorbent cloth in the lower part of the freezer compartment and to wring it out regularly.

Clean the interior of the freezer compartment and dry it thoroughly.

Plug the appliance back in and put the food back inside.

ICE MAKING SYSTEM

(depending on model)

The ice making system (depending on model) facilitates the defrosting procedure of the freezer compartment. The ice making accessory (Figure 1) is designed to collect part of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment, and is easy to remove and clean, which reduces the time needed to defrost the interior of the freezer compartment.

To remove the frost from the ice making accessory, follow the cleaning procedure described below.

CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE ICE MAKING ACCESSORY

  • Open the freezer compartment door and remove the lower drawer (Figure 2).
  • Tilt the ice making accessory (Figure 3) and remove it (Figure 4), being careful not to drop it on the floor. Note: if the accessory is blocked or difficult to remove, do not force it, but proceed to the defrosting of the freezer compartment.
  • Close the refrigerator door to the freezer compartment.
  • Remove the accessory by pulling it towards you (but not upwards) (Figure 5).
  • Leave the accessory to drain and dry the plastic parts with a soft cloth. -Reinstall the accessory by placing the rear part onto the guides shown in Figure 7-A, then insert the front part of the accessory into the fixing opening (Figure 7-B). -Replace the rear cover and close the refrigerator door to the freezer compartment.

You can clean only the accessory for dispensing ice without completely defrosting the freezer compartment. Regular cleaning of the accessory for

dispensing ice helps reduce the need for completely defrosting the freezer compartment.

G) Eutectic system: remove from drawer F and insert into the high compartment E to optimise the product's consumption.

Some models are supplied with containers filled with cooling liquid (eutectics).

INSTALLATION

Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Transit damages must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours of receipt of the appliance. The appliance should not be installed close to heat sources such as cookers, central heating, boilers, sunlight, etc. It must however be located in a well ventilated dry space.

Attention: Accessibility to the plug has to be guaranteed even after installation of the appliance to disconnect it, if required. Alternatively, connect the appliance to the mains by means of a two-pole switching device with contact separation of 3 mm situated in an accessible position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND OPERATION

Please check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate situated inside the compartment corresponds to the voltage in your home. The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no liability for injury to persons or damage to objects arising from the non observance of this requirement.

When the appliance is plugged in, if the thermostat knob is not set to symbol ●, the green and the red lamps (A) and (B) (Fig. 1) light up. The green control light always remains alight and indicates the operation of the appliance. The red control light remains alight until the set operation temperature has been attained. It lights up again when the temperature inside the freezer rises due to frequent or prolonged door opening, and when the appliance has been loaded with fresh food to be frozen.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE

The thermostat (Fig. 1) controls the temperature inside the appliance. Position ● indicates that the operation of appliance is interrupted. The ideal storage temperature of frozen food for a long time is -18°C. In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and +25°C), we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to a middle position. To obtain colder or warmer temperatures than -18°C, turn the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest setting respectively. We remind you that internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of the door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. To check the temperature of the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the food; if it is placed on the food it will indicate the temperature of the air which does not correspond to that of the food stored.

USE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open (if present).

FREEZING IN (Fig. 2)

The amount of fresh food which can be frozen in a 24 hours period at an ambient temperature of +25°C is stated on the rating plate.

Do not store warm foods in the freezer. Never re-freeze partially or completely defrosted foods. Prepare and wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium or plastic foils or place them in appropriate containers. Label the packets indicating the freezing-in date and the contents. The freezer compartment maintains the storage temperature for 15 hours approx. even in case of power failure.

HOTPOINT BCB 7030 AA - FREEZING IN (Fig. 2) - 1

We suggest however you leave the door closed during this time.

Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and some products, such as flavoured water ices, should not be consumed too cold.

Note: Due to the efficiency of the door seal, it is not always possible to open the freezer door immediately after closing it. Wait some minutes before trying to open it.

PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES

3/4 fill the ice cube trays with water and place them in the low temperature compartment. If the trays stick to the bottom of the compartment, do not detach them with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage the appliance. Use, if necessary, the handle of a spoon. To allow removal of ice cubes from plastic trays, bend them slightly.

Attention: Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after removal from the low temperature compartment as they may give rise to cold burns.

STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD

When buying frozen food, it is suggested to use thermal bags or cold boxes. They should be the last purchases made and should be well wrapped in newspaper. When home, store them in the compartment, with the least possible delay. In any case these foods have to be used within the date printed on the packet.

THAWING

Here are some basic suggestions:

Raw vegetables: Do not thaw - put straight into boiling water and cook as usual.

Meat (large cuts): Thaw in the refrigerator without unwrapping them. Before cooking, leave at room temperature for some hours.

(Small cuts): Thaw at room temperature or cook directly.

Fish: Thaw in the refrigerator without unwrapping or cook directly before being completely thawed.

Previously cooked food: Re-heat in the oven without removing from its aluminium container.

Fruit: Thaw in the refrigerator.

DEFROSTING

Generally you need to defrost two or three times a year when the layer of frost reaches a 3 mm thickness. We suggest you periodically remove the frost from the freezing plate by means of a plastic scraper. Avoid using sharp or cutting instruments. Defrosting should be carried out when the quantity of food stored is minimum. Wrap the frozen food into several layers of newspaper (or in a cover) and place them in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Adjust the thermostat control knob to position, disconnect the appliance from the mains and leave the door open. Remove the baskets by pulling forward and up. Do not use commercial defrosting products as they could contain dangerous components. At completion of defrosting, clean and dry the appliance carefully. Reconnect the freezer to the mains supply. Reload the freezer with the frozen food.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

A periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to your appliance. Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before any intervention. Clean periodically the appliance with a solution of water and vinegar. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive or detergents. Clean periodically the door gasket with water and dry carefully. Avoid soiling the door gasket with oil or other grease which could damage it. After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.

HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS

If you plan to be away for a long time, disconnect the appliance from the mains, empty and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling musty. If you plan to be away for a short time, let the appliance operate normally.

SERVICE

The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to a fault but it may also result from poor installation or usage. To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be charged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide.

If the red light is on continuously or flashing, the internal temperature is too high.

Check that:

  • the door is not properly shut;
  • the thermostat control knob is correctly set (see chapter "Adjustment of the temperature");
  • the freezer is not near a source of heat;
  • there is a large build up of frost on the inner walls; the air flow is not restricted.

If the compressor functions continuously. Check that:

  • the ambient temperature is too warm;
  • the door is not being opened too frequently. The appliance is excessively noisy. Check that: the appliance is level.

The appliance does not operate. Check that:

  • the thermostat control knob is not set to position ;
  • there is not a power failure;
  • the plug is making good contact with the supply socket;
  • any automatic circuit breakers have tripped or any fuses blown;
  • the supply cable is intact (see also Note).

Note: When replacing a damaged supply cord, be sure the new cord is correctly clamped. If you have followed this trouble shooting guide and your freezer still does not work properly, get in touch with your Retailer or Service Agent.
