Possible Causes

Failed defrost heater, Faulty defrost thermostat/thermal fuse, Defective defrost sensor, Main control board not initiating defrost

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the evaporator and electrical components.

Steps:

  • Manual defrost: Defrost the freezer completely to restore airflow temporarily.
  • Access evaporator: Remove the internal rear panel to expose the evaporator coil and defrost components.
  • Check heater and thermostat: Visually inspect for burnt heater elements or damaged thermostats. Use a multimeter (if competent) to test continuity of the heater and defrost thermostat.
  • Replace faulty parts: Install genuine Beko defrost heater and/or thermostat if open-circuit.
  • If all defrost components test good, the defrost sensor or main control board may be at fault and should be diagnosed by a technician.
