Re: fridge not cold enough
its not uncommon on these for the compressor to become weak pumping – not a diy diagnosis or repair
Re: fridge not cold enough
Could be a number of things.
As johnsdad says, compressor is the most likely given the symptoms.
It is a frost free fridge freezer though so there are other possibilities but you’d need to do more in the way of figuring out what’s wrong.

Re: fridge not cold enough
I have the same model Beko, had it for around 15 months or so, same problem really:
The fast freeze fan in the freezer is still turning but the air doesn’t seem to be as cold as it was, the result being that the food is beginning to defrost.
The fridge seems to still work as normal (although can’t be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure).
So the general consensus is that it’s probably the copressor then? If this is the case should I just throw it and get a new one, it cost £240ish 15 months ago and don’t want to be shelling out on something that’s gonna cost more to repair in the long run than just buying a new one.
Cheers
Re: fridge not cold enough
Ok….update
I’ve cleared the fridge and freezer out of all food and given it a good clean. I found that the inside back wall of the freezer was partially frozen up which may be why the freezer wasn’t freezing food at all levels.
I’ve defrosted it all overnight and it seems to be working ok at the moment, will update later.
Cheers & thanks for all the useful posts previously
