No if the compressor was failing it would run for longer and produce more heat and thus evaporate the water better. It is 14 months since your first question and again we are in a cold period were the fridge does not need to work hard. In addition if you drive a car you may have noticed how the windows are steaming up a lot at the moment due to the high humidity and cold surfaces. This is what is happening to your fridge, Like your car windows the problem is likely to be cured by an increase in ambient temperature.
- since its been in the same position for 12 years could it be that the compressor is at fault.the fridge stands in a cool utiliy room.

There may be a number of factors causing your problem. The reason why this occurs is due to more ice building up and less evaporation then the appliance is expecting. The causes of extra ice is down to high humidity and poor ventilation so improve by opening windows not drying washing on radiators and possibly investing in a dehumidifier to reduce surrounding moisture. The fridge is probably expecting to be in a warm kitchen with an average temperature above 50f if this is cooler then the compressor does not need to run as long and does not help to evaporate the water as much causing flooding.
We bought this unit in Spain and is in Spain .we noticed water leaking as above. I checked the freezer temp as it did not seem to be as cold as to the -18 to which it is set ,the temp was only -12 I lowered the stat to -20 and the temp got down to -18 and it seemed that there was less water leaking but still there. The unit is around 10 years old. Any thoughts?

The number quoted is for the first part of the serial number and does not indicate the model. See our videos: How to fix a leaking fridge : www.espares.co.uk/advice/2/1433/how-to-fix-a-leaking-fridge and How to diagnose a fault with a frost free fridge freezer : www.espares.co.uk/advice/2/2113

This is not shown on Bosch's exploded diagrams but as it is marked as a defrost sensor it should be fitted on or near to the freezer evaporator.

For information on this repair see our diagnosis video: • http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/2/2113/how-to-diagnose-a-fault-with-a-frost-free-fridge-freezer
The fridge is not working but the freezer is. Is the fault behing the front control panel? Regard,s Backiron.

Error E2 we believe indicates a sensor that is foamed into the insulation and very difficult to repair without previous experience in this area. Try fully defrosting and allowing to dry out for a few days. If the problem returns you may be better on this occasion to contact Bosch themselves as many engineers are not familiar with this repair.
the water tray above the motor seems to fill and not evaporate.i can not see any leaks from any pipes.but from about the last couple of months theres quite a lot of water on the floor.any assistance you can gieve me would be greatly appreciated.

If you check your instruction book (you can download it at: http://www.espares.co.uk/usermanuals/search?SearchPhrase=kdr4042) it states referring to the climate class that this appliance if it is a 'N class' must be in a room with an ambient temperature of between 16 c and 32 C or 60.8 F to 89.6. If this is not the case the compressor is working outside its design parameters and not producing the correct temperature to correctly evaporate the water away. This is Bosch's specifications and not a fault with the appliance if it is sited in an unsuitable location. Although we would be happy to sell any spare parts that may resolve your problem, unfortunately in this case it sounds like the problem is due to an unsuitable location for this time of year and cannot be fixed by replacing any part on this appliance as it has been designed this way.
the fridge section is freezing even when the fridge switch is off, the freezer is ok. help please 1 Answer

This fridge uses a magnetic diverter valve to shut of cooling to the fridge or freezer depending on demand. It sounds like a problem with the control board or the valve as it does not appear to be able to turn this off. This is likely to be an expensive repair and we would in this case suggest you may be better getting a fixed price repair from a repair company.
