Try rearranging all items inside fridge and freezer so that air may circulate around all items easily and then check seals on doors and ensure doors are closed completely and not leaking cold air. Also do a complete thaw/ defrost. You can remove the plastic coverings and ensure all ice is defrosted. Using a hair dryer will speed up thawing/defrosting process.

I had to look up where you are from. Being the U.K. you mean 16 celsius, right? If the problem began after you removed the boxes, I don't think its a circulation problem. The ice build up on the inside, and the freezer being good but not the fridge, makes me think the defrost isn't working. I can help you check the controls for this, but without a volt/ohm meter you should call someone.

After you taken the back panel off and see a lot of ice forming on the coil before you use your hairdryer you should locate the timer and turn the center of the timer manually into defrost cycle. If you can see or hear the ice melting then your problem is the timer defective. Change the timer and that is all. But if it doesn't do anything then you will need a little bit more on electrical knowledge to deal with the rest on defrost temperature control and the element itself. Hope this help, God Bless.
