If your Beko refrigerator is not working, you need to pay attention to the symptoms of damage that will help you find the malfunction. Often the causes of breakdowns are simple things, for example, overloading shelves with products. The technique is also sensitive to power surges, so without a stabilizer there is a risk of damage to the electronic part.
What problems are typical for Beco refrigerators, we will consider below.
Typical Beko Malfunctions
The problems of all refrigerators are similar to each other. But there are breakdowns that are more common in some brands than others. Let's consider the main problems for Veko models.
No cold in the chamber
An unexpected breakdown occurred: the freezer is working normally, but the refrigerator does not cool. Such an imbalance can cause overloading of some nodes and the final breakdown of the refrigerator. Before you start troubleshooting, decide whether your refrigerator is single-compressor or two-compressor.
For single-compressor Beco models:
- Check how tightly the chamber door is closed. Often foreign objects and products interfere with closing. You need to remove everything and close the door. But if the door was open for a long time, and snow formed on the walls, it is better to defrost the refrigerator.
- See if the thermostat is installed correctly. One compressor immediately begins to cool the freezer. If the room temperature is high, and the temperature in the freezer compartment is at the maximum level, then it is not surprising that the cold does not reach the lower chamber. Adjust the thermal relay: in the freezer by 2.5, in the refrigerator compartment - 2 or 3.
- Inspect the fan. Its blades could be covered with ice if you had the Noufrost system. Defrost equipment for at least 10 hours.
If after defrosting the operation has not improved, then the fan is broken and it needs a replacement.
Failures that require repair:
- When the fan does not work due to snow and ice on the rear wall, this indicates a failure of the evaporator heater. You will need to install a new part.
- Have you noticed that the motor is constantly running, and the freezer is overgrown with ice? The reason is the thermostat or the evaporator sensor. Due to incorrect operation, the system believes that the freezer is not cold enough. Therefore, only the upper compartment is cooled.
- Damage to the chamber and leakage of freon gas. If you accidentally damage the camera during defrosting, you need to call the wizard. He will find and fix the leak.
Faults of the Beko two-chamber two-compressor refrigerator:
- The door and the fan are checked first.
- You can talk about the breakdown of the motor-compressor if oil leaks are visible or the motor turns on for only a few seconds. Then he needs a repair or replacement. The video shows compressor defects:
- If one wall of the refrigerator is swollen, and inside there is a snow layer in this place, it means that there is a leak of freon and need repair. Also, freon may leak due to mechanical damage.
There are many more breakdowns that only a master can determine.
The refrigerator freezes severely
It is bad when there is not enough cold in the cell, but when the food freezes from its overabundance - they are no longer suitable for food. Immediately check the thermostat setting. Normally, the values should be between 2 and 3.5.
Such a breakdown can happen in different models: Beko CN 335220 X, Beko DSA 25000. Reasons:
- Bad seal on the door. When warm air enters the chamber, the system tries to compensate for it, therefore it freezes even harder. As a result, snow and ice form on the walls. It is necessary to reanimate or replace a sealant for tight closing.
- The drainage hole is blocked, so the condensate cannot find a way out. You can notice how water collects under the lower drawers, which then freezes. The hole must be cleaned.
- Failure of the air sensor also leads to forcing the cold. The system does not receive data on the temperature in the chamber, so there is constant cooling.
- "Stick" switching valve. If it stops working, then the refrigeration compartment will cool food more, while in the freezer it will be very warm.
The refrigerator is overgrown with ice and snow
Do you have to defrost the refrigerator often due to large snow formations? Then you need to diagnose the equipment. Check:
- Is the thermostat in the chamber installed correctly? If at the maximum value, then set it to a value of 2-3.5.
- If your model has a super-freeze mode, then turn it off.
The main reasons for this "behavior" of the refrigerator:
- Temperature sensor malfunction. If the sensor does not work correctly, the system receives incorrect data. Therefore, even more cold is pumped into the chamber.
- In refrigerators with the No Frost and Free Frost systems, the drainage hole could clog, so the moisture that accumulates during defrost has nowhere to go. As a result, snow is formed. The drainage hole can be cleaned by yourself or you can call the master.
- Problems with the defrost system. As a result, the evaporator freezes, and the temperature in the chamber begins to rise. Therefore, the motor-compressor works intensively, pumping cold.
- Refrigerant leak. As productivity decreases, the system compensates for damage even more by forcing cold. Therefore, snow forms on the walls.
- Wear on the door seal also affects cold formation, as described above.
- The capillary conduit through which freon flows is clogged. It is necessary to call the wizard to clean and refuel the refrigerant.
- Faulty solenoid valve. It switches the cooling between the freezer and the refrigerator. Therefore, one camera can be overgrown with snow, and the other does not freeze at all.
Loud noise when using the refrigerator
When the technique is noisy, you need to take action. For what reasons does this happen:
- The transportation bolts that secure the motor shock absorbers are not removed - this is how the motor is protected during transportation. But during operation, the bolts do not allow the shock absorbers to fulfill their function, therefore, vibration damping does not occur.
- The installation of the refrigerator is not correct. If the back wall is in contact with the wall, then the equipment will buzz.
- Overload. Pots, touching each other, begin to rattle.
- Depreciation of the motor-compressor and its components also leads to a strong hum during operation.
- An overgrown fan makes a lot of noise. It is necessary to defrost refrigeration equipment.
We have listed the main causes of breakdowns in the Beco refrigerator. Such malfunctions are more common, but there are many other problems that you may encounter. For example, the refrigerator electronics may break due to a sudden power outage or a surge in the network. Therefore, follow the installation and safety rules.
