Beko fridge freezer issue

[JAK68]

We have a Beko BCB7030F fridge freezer and the fridge has suddenly stopped working, the freezer is ok by the looks of it. Has anyone got any ideas what it can be? Thks

the very fact the freezer is still ok point to a possible ice build up in the freezer

try a total defrost

turn off , doors open, 2 days

then turn on and see how it goes

I have checked it properly this morning and the top of the fridge is a little bit cold but the bottom is room temperature, I have managed to get to the condenser coils inside the back of the freezer and there is no ice build up. So will go with a defrost to see how it goes..thks

if it does not work you need a new one

there are 2 types of system

older systems have 2 refrigerant coils . one in the fridge and another in the freezer. in this system the refigerant goes to freezer first and then goes onto the fridge. if the system is loosing refrigerant or the compresor is failing the fridge is the first thing to fail as there is not enough liquid refrigerant left to cool the fridge

newer systems duct the cold air from the freezer and control this with a motorised flap . if the flap fails or ice blocks the ducts then the fridge stops working

not sure which your system is but am thinking it may be the older one. in which case i would start looking to replace

that means older type in the newer system only cold air through ducts goes to the fridge

you also have no ice as you have already taken the freezer rear covers off

from that i deduce you need a new one
