Re: Beko CDA543FS-2 freezer temp problem but fridge working

Thanks Dave,
Presume the overload is a thermal trip on the compressor. Maybe I should pull it out and see if the compressor needs a hoover – could be covered in dust as it is in the integral garage.
I had thought maybe it was the control board that was cutting the compressor out too early as it was faulty.

Re: Beko CDA543FS-2 freezer temp problem but fridge working

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your response. I’m a bit confused. If the fridge gets its cold from the freezer and there was an air flow problem, wouldn’t that cause the freezer to work but not the fridge ?
Yes the compressor and fan are running fine.
I have put a thermometer in the freezer for 12 hours now and the temp is dropping to around -16C, the compressor runs and takes it down to -18.4C then compressor shuts off, so seems pretty normal now.
I haven’t fixed anything though so am concerned that if I stock the freezer back up again, it could happen again and ruin a load more food.
The odd thing was that even though all the food from the freezer had begun defrosting (so temp obviously too high), the compressor was not running. I tried turning the fridge off/on and the compressor started but then shut off after around 10 secs. So something was wrong. It now seems to be fine again but I suspect the problem is still lurking.

The freezer has no ice in it and the fan looks clean and clear. Is it still worth doing the 2-day defrost thing if you can’t see any ice anywhere ?

Thanks Dave,
Understand there is no separate coming for freezer anymore.
The freezer does not appear to have any ice in it and the fan looks clear and clean and I can feel a good flow of air when it is running. The odd thing was that the freezer had decided not to run even though it was to warm. Do you mean ice elsewhere like in a sensor?
