It's been defrosting overnight for about 11.5 hours with a fan pointing inside the freezer. Both doors open. I have just turned it back on and now hoping that has fixed it.

Ok, I can't see any drip tray at the back and I can't pull off the panel to see if ice is on the evaporator but leaving a fan blowing towards the inside should do it.

We have the electric cool box which hopefully will be better. I have a 2 wheel sack trolley I can get it out with when empty.

It's not practical to pull out as kitchen space is small and floor is wood. Surely just turning it off and leaving it overnight with a fan pointing inside the door will be enough? We don't have any option to put in neighbours, only a electric cool box.

This morning it went down to 5 degrees and later it was 11. This doesn't make sense!

Well, I can't fathom it. After another hour it has risen to 12 degrees on the coldest setting. This is so frustrating as I can't face having to defrost it all again. Such a hassle when I have only a portable electric cool box to fall back on

I just checked the temp gauge in the empty fridge after turning back on for 2 hours and it was at 10 degrees. 15 mins later it was around 6. Then a few mins after that it was 10. Checked the freezer temp after a few mins and at -18 degrees. Just checked the fridge and still 10 after turning...

I am defrosting it now but can only afford an hour as meat stored in spare fridge won't keep over 2 hours (1 hour needed for fridge freezer to get back to cold temp) If a repair is needed it might cost more than the unit itself if Bosch have to be called.

Thanks. I did think about a hairdryer but all the advice online from fridge manufacturers advise against it.

BoschSeries 2 KGN27NLEAG fridge freezer - 2 years old. A couple of days ago I thought I had closed the fridge door properly but an annoying plastic container (I didn't feel any resistance) just kept it unsealed hence the fridge was running at 15 degrees next morning. Having closed the door I...

I did that last time and it was clear. I'll try again tomorrow just incase. Our neighbours had a similar problem (not on our pipeline) as the sewerage was backing up into upstairs shower and yard. manhole was blocked and it turned out to be lumps of cement blocking the pipes.

Ok, after almost 10 months I just smelt it again coming from the drain. Why oh why would this happen again after such a long gap ? :cautious:

Ok, so I managed to lift one with crowbar and get the rest out easily (After doing some tests, I found what I think is a large diamond underneath one of the blocks) I have set them back with some sharp sand and soil mixture, and when I get some mortar I shall point them. My question is, the...

It's not running down the inside as just gone out (sorry the images are not great as just spotted this in the dark, and the shed is in need of de-cluttering.) The base of the shed it stands on is sound and yet above that it has seeped into the inside. The very bottom edge of the cladding is dry...

Aaaand again after re-sealing it it has lifted again because a small amount of water from the draining board has breached it for a moment. I have now sealed it while open before I clamp it shut in the hope of it staying shut.

This premium washbasin cabinet was fitted only 2 years ago and it has already started to split. As it is I think MDF it shouldn't fail like this. Unfortunately the guy who fitted it ordered it for us from VP after we decided on which model from their website. We don't have the receipt (or...

It is coming in some other way and not capillary otherwise it would be wet on the floor as well as the raised bit that is adjacent to the outer panels. It has got worse and water is coming down from underneath the potting bench, but above the bench it is dry. The stain you can see is dry and...

Well yes but I would have thought as water doesn't travel upwards against gravity the vents would at least create airflow.

Water is lazy and always finds the path of least resistance :(

No but as water travels down the overlaps I didn't think it needed it. Like roof slates
