Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: unplug it for a minute and try again, since a simple reset clears more faults than people expect. Beyond that, if the basics check out, the fault is inside the control system or a sealed component, and diagnosing that safely takes a technician's tools and training.
How we fix it
We start with a full diagnostic on the Hotpoint dryer, confirm the real fault, then price it flat. OEM Hotpoint parts share GE Appliances platforms and are widely available and inexpensive; refrigerator sealed-system repairs require an experienced technician. The quote is flat, approved before we start, and every repair carries our warranty.
