    I have an eight-year-old Bosch FD7702 fridge-freezer KGU3201/GB in which the fridge appears to have failed.

    The first point to note is that the freezer part appears to be working normally.

    The fridge, however, usually shows a temperature of 11 or 12 degrees, even when the desired temperature is screwed down to 2. It is in this condition most of the time, but once or twice a day it does cool down to the required 2 degrees. I have the impression (possible quite wrongly) that this has some association with the freezer compressor coming on to work.

    I have asked Bosch’s service department (as they are laughingly called) for help, but all they say is that they can send an engineer, who will charge me £60 for the privilege of having him park his van on my drive – and the cost of any repair is on top of that.

    Can anyone offer any advice about this fault, and the cost of a remedy? Or should I just put the money towards a decent Liebherr?

    The fault could be possibly two things

    1/ Faulty main PCB
    2/ Faulty divertor valve

    I would certainly get an engineer to check before jumping the gun.

    part 1 is app £90 GBP
    part 2 is app £60 GBP

    The fault is almost certainly the evaporator sensor for the fridge. As the sensor is not readily accessible, you cannot just change it. 🙁 There is a repair solution! A replacement module (263782 IIRC) does away with the sensor by using time to control the fridge evaporator defrost instead of sensor info.
    That will be £59.50 please. :mrgreen:

    What about the overheated diodes on main pcb BSH man 😉

    The hot diodes on the top module are in fact a “feature” The purpose is to warm plates sat on top of the appliance! 😉
