Hotpoint Fridge/Freezer Freezer not freezing?

THe freezer on my Hotpoint Fridge/Freezer is not freezing.

I have checked and I have 240V in to the compressor (White cable) and 240V between brown/blue on terminal block of compressor. The compressor kicks in , but only for a few seconds. I have it on fast freeze at present, but still no joy.

Any help out there?

NEEDS A NEW COMPRESSOR. EXPENSIVE REPAIR. WE IN THE TRADE CALL IT BUZZ CLICK SYNDROME.

i had the same problem with mine. it turned out to be the thermistor. there is one for the fridge and another for the freezer. I found mine behind the panel at the rear of the freezer compartment
