Looks like our not-so-old Bosch leaked a coolant -- the refrigerator compartment is -3°C now instead of 0°C, and the freezer is -10° instead of -18°C. I did some googling but results are inconclusive.
So, can you guys recommend a service?
Ona side note, the fridge is 4 years old. What a mockery the modern appliances are..

You think that’s bad? My fridge has a freezer compartment that’s held closed by two small plastic hooks. One snapped off recently and although I can still close the door, at some point the other one will break since it’s now doing the job of two.
Because I can’t buy a replacement for this small piece of plastic that probably costs about 2kc, I’m going to have to buy an entire new fridge even though mine is otherwise working perfectly.
3d-printing?
I don’t know the state of the technology right now but maybe that’s a possibility. Can very hard plastics be printed with sharp edges?
Edges could be cut/filed as a post-processing. Very hard plastics -- what are they? Typical printer filament would be PLA, ABS, NylonX, PETG, TPU, TPE, Polycarbonate..
I had simmilar problem. Repair company said 2000 kč, minimum. I unfreezed it, and checked inside, there are only two screws to remove the cover over freezing spiral. The thermometer was in bad position, probably hapenned during cleaning under the fridge. I put thermometer back on spiral and it works.
Those two symptoms combined: too cold in the refridgerator room and too warm in the freezer usually mean coolant leakage.
Sorry, I mistaken. I had opposite situation.
