Thank you for your insight.
That does make sense, however, it’s more erratic.
I turned on the fast freeze yesterday morning and it was still running last when I finished work at 17.00, all dairy goods inside the freezer were solid again. It’s a shame I never took more of how the compressor functions when it was working properly…but then again that would be a bit OTT. It seems to run in cycles, maybe fifteen minutes then the fan is left running then it kicks back in later.
Anyway we have an actual beko repair engineer coming to look at it as part of an aftercare no fix no fee policy. More money on a cheap freezer but we cant abide it heading to landfill without knowing exactly whether it can be fixed.
Thanks again
