dead beko cf5533apw – compressor relay or pcb?

[gandh1]

Hello peoples.

As above. 18 mths old, it is a reasonably warm kitchen (elderly) but in pristine condition.

Cant find any parts on connect.

Lights on, but no compressor action at all, tried a start cap from a new beko fridge, and thats not made any difference. there appears to be electricity to back pcb and back down.

Its the JIAXIPERA compressor (not the tek one) so happy to try a relay but need a code, unless someones whos seen a few of these knows its almost likely to be the pcb, or something else.

Of course it could be compressor failure which i assumed was unlikely due to the age until i read so many reviews where people have had that dianosis. so would appreciate if someone can remind me about what values you are looking for when you measure across the pins! cheers in advance

Never seen a faulty relay on one, so i’d go for the p.c.b. You can feed the compressor directly with a live & neutral by making up a lead with some push on connectors similar size to the ones used on the compressor.
Look at the connections on the compressor for loose connections & if theres a plug/socket where the loom fits up into the top of compressor cavity (bottom of fridge). Check the cable connections are tight there also.
Is there a defrost timer check its not stuck in defrost position, but this may not have a mechanical timer if its an electronically controlled type.

hi seamy again 🙂

i happened to have a relay from a previous repair so tried that amd it kicked in straight away thought great and then this morning got a call that its cut out again and wont come back on. fridge is warm so obv hasnt started back up again. initially thought it might have been the start cap but that seems to check out on another fridge. but still unsure whether its possible its not discharging enough?

no defrost timer, just a pcb potentiometer for the temp setting and pcb at rear presumably for frostfree control. try that i spose

Hi

I had one similar about 5 months ago and changed blue capacitor on module top rear which worked OK.

Part number for rear module if you need it is 4360620185

cool, i ordered a pcb from connect before cutoff today in case, might try and refurb the original board to keep as a spare then

ok for future readers, was the rear pcb. as it was about £15 trade didnt bother refurbing. the intermittance of working immediately if been off for a while, and then never kicking back in seems to concude its the pcb 🙂

hope that helps!
