Beko CDA653FS/1 fridge freezer problem

[chubb125]

Can anybody help please
Our frost free fridge freezer, Beko CDA653FS/1, has an intermittent fault.
Every now & then the compressor & fan both start but only run for about 3 seconds, trying again time after time for over half an hour but never running constantly. Eventually it stops & then later on it runs normally.
Any ideas please? Thanks

Update: The fridge freezer has now packed up completely, after trying to start all morning it has finally had enough!!
I know this unit has 2 pcb boards, 1 behind a panel on the back & 1 in the fridge light compartment. Does anybody know what either of them do please? Is it possible that one of them has failed causing the machine to pack up?
I could replace both boards if required but I don’t want to waste money on them if it is something else
Any ideas please?

Rear one is control board & is most likely the culprit.

Hi Seamy, many thanks for replying. Am I correct in thinking that if it is the control board at fault there will be no power at the compressor? Do you know how I can check please?
Not knowing what the board did, I was thinking it might be the relay on the side of the compressor messing about until it failed.

Hi,
I need similar help please.
This is my first post although I have found useful info here many times in the past. I have a similar problem, the freezer fan started coming on intermittantly and now the freezer doesnt seem to be holding its temperature. I have a Beko CDA 563 F-2 fridge freezer. Is it likely to be the mainboard? Any way to troubleshoot it, I have a multimeter and Im ok on electronics, or just change out the board?

Hi all,
Update, I managed to get around the back. Compressor very hot to touch. Left 30 mins,compressor just warm. Comressor turns on for few secs then off, keeps repeating.

Sounds like the compressor is faulty drawing too much power then tripping the compressor overload cut out / Klixon.

Not a cheap or DIY repair.

Thanks Bob,
looking bad, just before xmas! Took of main pcb getting 22k, 45k and 31k off what I guess are thermistors, values seem reasonable. Your explanation seems to make sense. Compressor ran for about 5 mins then back to stop start. Seems like Im looking for a new one. Wont be a Beko, had it less than 2 years.
