beko CXFP1582DW Not cooling

[brett twyman]

Morning

My beko fridge freezer is cooling but not freezing and the fridge is just warm .The fan and compressor are both running i have had the back of freezer off and no ice build up.

any help would be appreciated

Many thanks

if the compressor is running its either a lack of gas problem or a failed compressor

time to replace it i would say

thanks for reply. I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case it does get to -17 then warms up again if this changes things i dont know

[electrofix]

well maybe
your original post did not say that. So the compressor is probably ok. You gave the impression the compressor was running but it was not freezing

so it get down to -17, then the compressor switches off ( Y , N ?) and then warms up, does it come on again at any point after that if it has switched off

the freezer is not getting cold enough to freeze some things is what I was meant to write.The freezer feezed a cup of water in top tray but thawed out frozen fruit .The freezer is on 0.5c atm and fridge 15c which it seems to always be at there is a bit of condensation on fridge walls.I have not noticed the compressor turn off tbh but will keep a look out for that.

Many thanks for your help

i think there is a fan in the freezer that moves the air around. may ony run with door closed and stop when its opened

is it running. if not the air will use convection currents which doesnt work too well

hi fan runs whilst open and shut

[electrofix]

well am assuming its not iced up behind the rear panel because you stated that so

the fan runs, so if the compressor is running, and the refrigeration side of things is ok, it should freeze. what your saying is it doesnt but you did say it got to -17. A bit confused now unless the compressor stops and wont re-start. in which case we are looking at possible sensor or board problems

keep an eye on it. see if compressor runs. if its running and fan ok and no ice blocks then it should freeze

no sorry the fridge is 15c so not running atal and the frezzer get to -17 then creeps back to 0 this is all measured on a cheap digital thermometer.the picture above was taken before i defrosted ice that you see

[brett twyman]

the coils in freezer are dripping seems like they are defrosting

[electrofix]

that should last for a while,then it should freeze up again

is there anything i can test with multi meter (not really used one) or should i throw fridge frezzer away i would rather fix it if possible?
could it be defrost heater ?
