Swan integrated Fridge Freezer SRB2011W - fridge broken?

[not_a_plumber]

Hello,

We have a Swan integrated Fridge Freezer (SRB2011W) and the fridge appears to be broken.

Both yesterday and today the fridge bit was at 12 degrees and was silent. On both occasions I turned it off and on again and then it started to make the normal noise, to cool and behave as it should for a while at least ~ 18 hours maybe.

Do the above symptoms sound like anything obvious? I ask as it was cheap and I am wondering if worth repairing.

Thank you.

Have you tried defrosting, is there a fan at the bottom that blows cold air from the freezer up into the fridge, are there air channels at the back of the fridge that are blocked with ice or food debris? Failing that the possibly thermostat control board or door switch.

Thank you for the suggestion... defrosted it yesterday and all seems fine now.

I couldn't see any air channels internally, perhaps they are on the back of it on this particular machine.
