How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before defrosting or accessing internal components.

  • 1. Manual defrost:
    • Remove ice bin and internal panels.
    • Allow all frost to melt naturally or use a hair dryer on low, keeping it away from plastic parts.
  • 2. Check door seal:
    • Inspect and clean the gasket; replace if damaged.
  • 3. Verify evaporator fan:
    • Ensure the fan runs when the unit is cooling.
    • Replace the fan motor if not operating.
  • 4. Defrost system check (if equipped):
    • Test the defrost heater and thermostat for continuity.
    • Replace faulty components with Beko parts.
  • 5. Reduce door openings:
    • Limit how often and how long the door is open, especially in humid conditions.
