I have a Bosch fridge, the KIR21VS30G, this one:
https://www.bosch-home.co.uk/product-list/KIR21VS30G
It doesn't have a built in temp display or alarm so for some time I've had inside it a basic electronic thermometer (with no alarm).
I recently purchased a wireless alarm, the battery-powered wirelss sensor is placed inside the fridge, the main monitoring and alarm unit is of course outside it.
Usually I have the upper alarm temp set to 7C, however I recently lowered it to 6C.
During the past few days, and roughly at the same time of day, the temperature has briefly risen to just above 6C and set off the alarm. Out of 4 days this has happened twice.
The fridge is briefly opened by me at around 8:30 every morning (breakfast requirements ..... ) and the alarm is going off around 20 minutes later.
There are two possibilities for the alarm going off:
a) Maybe the temp has always briefly risen at the same time of day but I've never noticed it until I set the alarm on the external temp monitor, or:
b) the fridge is developing a problem.
Any other thoughts on possible causes?
