Beko thermostat problem

[Toms]

Hello!

I have a Beko CSA29010 fridge. We have transported it to a new home. It was cleaned so it looks as good as news and turned on.
After a night of working, we noticed that the freezer is a little cold (but not enough) and the fridge it self is room temperature.

I tried adjusting the thermostat but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything. When you turn it on, it makes the usual running water sounds and engine noise.

Can somebody advice me on what can I do without throwing the fridge out? Any advice will be welcome.

Damaged pipework in transit, refrigerant gas leaked out?

Re: Beko thermostat problem

I have not noticed any gas leakage. Is there any way I can check to make sure? It just sounds like a washing machine all day long.

If it been on for a few days feel the compressor and see how hot it is, if its so hot you can’t hold your hand on it then odd on its a system issue

Re: Beko thermostat problem

The compressor seems warm not hot. I could hold my hand on it for quite some time and wouldn’t really feel that much of heat.

It sounds like it’s working normal, it just doesn’t pump cold air in the grocery part of the fridge. The freezer is a little colder but still not as cold as it should be.

Could be ice, is this a full frost free with duct do the fridge. If so it could be the circulation fan

Re: Beko thermostat problem

You may have had a slow pumping/labouring compressor that was capable of maintaining the temp before you switched off. Now it’s not capable of bringing the temp down quick enough if at all..

Re: Beko thermostat problem

Gas leak or compressor faulty. On a Beko if you have the water trickling noise there is a good chance it has also pumped oil around the system.

Did you keep the fridge standing up ? Or did you have it on its side when moving it ?.

Did you let it stand for about 4 hours ? or did you turn it back on without letting it stand ?

If you had it on its side and did not allow it to stand then it could have blocked the system and blown the compressor seals.

It was on it’s back when it was moved.
After we moved it, we let it stand on it’s own for 1 night and then the next day we turned it on and left it running for the entire night.

It had not cooled down, only the fridge got a few degrees colder. Almost to the temperature the product section should be. Tried adjusting the thermostat, that did nothing. Even left on the full 5th position a few hours and it seemed warmer than the air outside.

I’m starting to think it broke while moving it.

If you had it on its back then it’s goosed, either damaged the condenser on the back or oil most likely made it to the drier and its all choked up. Fridges must be kept vertical in transportation. You can lean them to carry but not lay them down in any way. Over the years it’s been suggested to put them on there side but as a potman I have always been adamant its vertical only.
