The warning light has come on – on this fridge/freezer (Bosch KGU31125GB/01) (I presume for the freezer part). The freezer is cold but not as cold as normal. It is set to -18C and the fridge to +4C. I dusted down the grill on the back and checked the door seals (seem ok). Is there anything else I can check – I have a multimeter.
Thank you
well thats way too high to be safe. At those temps its a one star freezer which is good for a week max storage
check the fan is running in the freezer
it could be iced up at the back so would need a total defrost which is plug out and doors open for 2 days

Thanks for your reply.
Bit stuck about defrosting for 2 days as haven’t got access to another freezer.
I can’t see a fan in the freezer – just one in the fridge which does come on sometimes.
Here is a link to the parts for this model: Online help, spare parts and accessories | Bosch UK (bosch-home.co.uk)
Thanksfreezer fan is item 0310
the evaporater item 0303 can get full of ice, somtimes jamming the fan which means cold air cant circulate

I turned it on with the fan exposed and didn’t seem to be turning. I unplugged and took the connector fans off and tested it seems to be open circuit. A new fan from Bosch is £198!
fan only runs with the door closed otherwise it would blow cold air out
you may not get a reading with a meter as some have electronic boards inside
Dave
fan on ebay for £60
Thanks for your help on this.
I tested the fan by putting a magnet up to the switch at the front and it works.
I noticed there is a lot of ice under the coils so I defrosted it as suggested.
I have powered up again to see it gets down to -18C.
