ParticipantHi
Just noticed this morning that the freezer temp normally set at -20’c was drifting below -10’c and this afternoon the alarm told me it was below -5’C
I also noticed some clear ice build up on couple of the baskets and inside door but put this down to kids not closing properly etc.
Fridge temp is solid at 4’c and the compressor is kicking in and out.
On switching off the rear compressor is only slightly warm to the touch.
The internal fan is switching on (removed cover and can see it turning)
in the main freezer compartment.As this is a single compressor I guess the fault must lie with a valve/pipe blockage or perhaps NTC?
Can anyone point me in the right direction re fixing the problem.
I can’t afford a replacement and hope this all makes some sense to someone!
Many thanks in advance
Chris

I had hoped to get some replies but as it turns out the machine is now
working again.As an update I helped the defrost with a hair dryer and also thoroughly cleaned
the inside cabinets with warm soapy water.Yesterday I lay the machine on its back for about half an hour and then
left upright for a couple of hours.
My logic was based on hoping to redistribute the oil and refrigerent.
I also decided to give the rear valve a bit of a tap…not very scientific
but it made some sense to me if it was sticking?Around lunchtime I switched the machine back on and used the fast freeze
to help the temps go in the right direction.
The fridge got to temp pretty quickly and I also noticed that opening the
freezer door waiting for a few moment until the alarm sounded resulted in
“water down the plughole” kind of noise or gurgling quite loud…
This morning the machine is sitting at stable temps and fully loaded with food.
The gurgling is still evident but is seems to be getting less.It would be nice to know why this really happened but hey its working again!
Hope the above helps others with Bosch F/F problems………. -
