Overhead Control Panel fault

I am reaching out for help here as i cannot see anything via the www on this. My scanner (Think Diag) is picking up the following fault on my car

"OCP - Overhead Control Panel 1 problems exist: B11F697 The fan of the interior temperature sensor has a malfunction. The stored function is restricted"

Now, I do notice that when i drive along and the car gets to temp (engine and interior) it can start going from warm to feeling cold. Even if you step the temp up 1c or 2c it goes warm for a couple of mins and then cooler. If you stop and switch off then when you restart it seems to maintain heat longer. So there is clearly an issue somewhere. Therefore, can any of you lovely people of this forum translate the above message into a practical thing I need to do to fix it. I have tried to clear it (all of the other fault codes (stored - none were current) were erased and didn't return) but it won't and it says that this is a STORED and CURRENT code.

Car is an E220d (213.204) MY18 Estate.

It's literally saying the fan in the overhead temp sensor is not functioning. There is a small fan up there to draw in air to measure the cabin temp.

See below, N70b1 Interior temperature sensor with integrated fan:

Thank you. Guess i know what i shall be doing this weekend! Likely a video to follow…

i don’t suppose you have the instructions for how to remove the OHC (ideally I don’t want to break clips using a trial and error method)!

There’s a YouTube video for W212 models saying you can spray compressed air to unstick the fan.

So I've just taken the console out and cleaned the little fan. A really sharp blow of breath and some IPA got it moving. Lots of dust and crap in the whole console (no idea where from) and the fan now spins (it didn't really move when I started). Rebuilt it back into the car and no fault codes now. I tentatively have my fingers crossed to see how the temperature gets maintained tomorrow on the way to work...
