Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing internal panels.

Steps:

  • Manual defrost: Turn off and defrost the freezer fully for 24 hours to melt ice around the fan. This often resolves scraping noises.
  • Check after defrost: If noise persists, remove the internal rear panel to access the fan.
  • Inspect fan: Remove any debris, ensure blades are not cracked, and tighten any loose screws on the fan housing.
  • Replace fan motor: If the motor is noisy when spinning or has play in the shaft, replace the evaporator fan motor with a genuine Beko part.
