Hotpoint refrigerator compressor not starting: check power, controls, and cooling conditions
A Hotpoint refrigerator that appears to have a compressor that is not starting may be in a normal defrost period, have no usable power, have its controls turned off, or be in a model-specific demo or diagnostic mode; the symptom alone does not prove a failed compressor. Check the interior light and plug or outlet only from a dry, safe position, confirm the temperature controls, and check the exact model manual for modes and installation requirements.
