bosch kgn33v60gb -fridge temp too high

[strof]

hi
freezer works at correct temp but fridge is too warm. also motor seems to be on 90 {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time.
I did do a manual defrost turned fridge off for a couple of days,6 months ago and the fridge worked fine for a week or so then back to the problem.
My brother had the same problem same fridge but he removed the cover and used a hairdyer to defrost coils?. His fridge has worked ok ever since.

From other research i have done it seems like the defrost timer is faulty.
from the information i have given does this seem likely?.
how easy is it to replace the timer?

any suggestions advice would be greatly appreciated

TBH , you should give BSH a call as there is a modification kit that is fitted to these appliances to prevent a return of the fault you’re describing .

Basically whats happened is the airways for the fan that blows the cold air into the fridge compartment are blocked with ice build-up , so no cold air will reach the fridge section. The mod kit allows a much better de-frost stage of the machines defrosting cycle thus stopping the problem of the ice build up.

By switching off and defrosting manually last time , you effectively cleared these airways and hence the fridge section got cold again.

If you want to help the engineer on his visit , switch the appliance off and unplug 48hrs prior to his call….making sure you have plenty of towels round the base of the FF to soak any defrost water
