Hi all - I'm new to this forum so hope you can help! Here's my problem:

Make: Bosch Fridge Freezer (Built In)
Model: KIM30443 (FD8305)
Fault: Freezer fine...fridge wont cool. Severe "buckling" of the white plastic inside the fridge starting about hald way up and going to top.
Age: 3.5 years approx
Grading: A graded appliance

Basically the Fridge has not been cold for a couple of days so today I tried turning it off, defrosting freezer (working fine) then switched it on about 3 hours later and the same happened. Fridge still warm, temp indicator flashing meaning it has not reached the 6 degrees I was setting it to.

I have just pulled it out of the cabinet and the wire coil on the back is only hot at the top (is this normal?) and cold at the bottom. The fridge light works fine.

The buckling I described above is odd. It is making creases in the white plastic inside the fridge and it feels like there is polystyrene on the other side as you can push it in but it pops back again. Its like something is blocked somewhere?

I have read on other forums about turning it upside down for 24 hours....is this sensible? Any ideas anyone? Is it dead? I hope not as I cant afford to replace it?

Sorry for the long posting but I wanted to make sure I mention everything.

Cheers!
Andy
