It appears that this model has non-replacable foamed in NTC sensors, will confirm tomorrow when I have access to my Quickfinder technical laptop

The most common fault on these particular machines is the failure of the fridge NTC, which is a non replaceable foamed in one. However, if this is the one that is causing the problem Bosch have recently released a modification kit which takes this NTC out of circuit & makes the electronics run in an emergency mode. I’ve fitted a couple of these now with great success – Saves sending the appliance to the local fridge mountain !
Kit is available from BSH Appliance Care 08705 543210, part no. 491415 & if I remember correctly it’s about £12.

Hi Ian,
As Wizard say’s if appliance cools down then switches off on defrost then ‘forgets’ to switch back on the fault is the evaporator sensor which I can confirm is ‘foamed in’. 🙁
The mod. kit is not necassary to complete repair, simply identify sensor wires at four pin module plug, locate terminals 1 and 3 cut off sensor leads leaving about 2ins lead still connected onto plug, join them together and insulate, tape up now unused sensor lead and push inside plastic frame out of way. 😀
