After a house move, my Bosch upright fridge/freezer has a problem in that the upper fridge compartment is at room temperature, but the lower freezer bit is at a normal minus 22C. Any ideas as to what is wrong?

My Bosch fridge only operates normally above (I think) 5 degrees
ambient temperature. Lower than this I have to flick a switch inside
to cause the interior light to remain on, to force the compressor to
keep running.

Frost free?

Yes I was thinking the same its drain is blocked or its been tweaked
somewhere. Often when you buy a fridge you find you have to leave it to
stand for a few hours before you start it too, at least that was the advice
for ours.
Other than that if it is a two compressor one then something broke,
probably a coolant leak. Does the compressor keep running for ever? Is the
compressor for the fridge bit not running at all?

How many compressors? Older fridge/freezers sometimes had two
compressors (ours did, bought in about 2000), one for the fridge
compartment, the other for the freezer, independently controlled. If
yours is like that, perhaps the compressor for the fridge or its
control mechanism has failed in some way.

Some modern Bosch models have twin compressors.

Just been quoted £230 to have a guy look at it.
I told them thanks but no thanks.

Just bought a brand new Hisense fridge freezer for £230.

It arrived yesterday and the freezer is -30C and the fridge 3C - RESULT!
I now have a Chinese fridge/freezer with a water dispenser for £230.
