Beko are normally easy to work on.

If the fridge is not cooling it will be the fan faulty.

On top the fridge near the main module is normally a sticker with the fault codes.

But on this model most of the time the codes do not match the fault.

This model sometimes shows a fan fault as 8 as it is not cold enough for the ice maker.

You have to remove the ice maker to replace a fan but this is not difficult .

The fan is in the freezer compartment and you can check if its working by pressing the door switch in the freezer. Make sure you have the fridge door closed.

The fan has a short delay 10 to 30 seconds if the compressor is running,

If it does not run after 60 seconds then the fan will be faulty.

I have repaired a few of this model and it is nearly always a fan fault.

I have also had a couple with module faults the appliance is normally no go if the module fails.
