Re: Beko AP930X American F/F playing up!!
Thanks Bob, there was no noise! I have just spent an hour taking out all the ice making bits from the top to get at the rear pannel, and finally got at the fan!!! Found the evaporator you describe and there is no ice in it at all. Beloved wife now says it was yelping like a puppy before it stopped working, but it stopped so she never mentioned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Multimeter on the fan shows no buzz on the continuity test and no resistance on the ohms test – this might mean something to you 😉 – since both the wires were brown, I assumed it was a coil and should have been continuous….(you can probably tell my level of knowledge from this paragraph!!)
Now I feel like I am getting somewhere, new fan ordered from 4beko.co.uk and should come on Tuesday.
I’ll post how I get on, but thanks for the pointer in what I believe is the right direction.
Cheers

Hi Bob. I have had the back panel off and vacuumed all the fluff out of the “matrix” next to the compressor – is that the evaporator? If so the fan next to it draws air over the matrix without any problem. The compressor is running and hot, there is a hot and a cold pipe leading from it. There is no ice anywhere that I can find – there is a very small amount of water in the try under the matrix and fan assembly. The fan and compressor seem to run all the time, but I have noticed them go off for a while on occasions. (we are a family of 5 so the fridge gets opened a lot in the day). Hope this helps, sorry if I am naming things wrongly – still learning!
Cheers

Thanks – I already did all that before I registered and posted – I didn’t want to rub anyone up the wrong way by asking the obvious and not doing a bit of homework!
It was informative, and helped to prove how little I know 🙂

(Any fridge engineers thinking of a day out in the southern lake district lol)Re: Beko AP930X American F/F playing up!!
Ok, it certainly seems to be running a lot so it makes sense. But, where does the frost free circulating air bit come into it then?
I would have thought the whole unit, top and bottom would not get cold enough due to lack of cooling, not just the bottom. That’s why I can’t work this out, why is it not equally warm rather than just cold at the bottom. – My lack of knowledge of refrigeration doesn’t help my problem solving!! then again if it was easy, the local engineers would have got stuck in!

Hi K
Thanks for the response. Wish I could get a fridge engineer to come and look at it! I realise it’s a specialist bit of kit, but how does the gas/compressor create the effect it does? The bottom of the fridge and freezer are frozen solid, it’s just the top half of the unit that is not getting as cold as it should be?
I’m not trying to be funny, I am just trying to get my head around how they work!
Cheers

Oh well. No comments so far…!
Time to look for a new one.
Just to make life interesting a shelf just exploded!
No really.
The one above the dairy drawer has just popped and put glass everywhere. It only had a carton of mushrooms on it. The door had been opened two minutes earlier and we heard it go from the next room!Two local engineers finally rang back – Don’t do American FFs..
See how calm I am…
I wonder how far I could throw it???
Are they axe resistant??
