My Fridge is not working on my Hotpoint Mistral, freezer ok?

I've just had the same problem and think I've solved it by
a) removing the grill at the bottom (pull it by the top corners until it releases) and giving it a clean. Mine had a 1cm thick layer of fluff preventing air circulation!). If you look with a torch past the cooling grid you should be able to see the fan moving.
b) putting a 'sticky fixer' or similar on the top of the fridge door where the light switch goes. This is just to ensure that the switch operates properly - if it does not then neither does the circulation fan). The door drops a little with age and this is a simple way to deal with the switch contact. In a quiet room with the fridge door open, manually push up the door switch; as the light goes out you should be able to hear the fan. Keep the vent at the top back right hand side clear also.
