How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the fan area.

Step-by-step:

  • Listen for fan: After closing the door switch manually (with door open) and the unit running, you should normally hear the fan. Silence suggests a fault.
  • Access fan: Remove freezer drawers and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator and fan assembly.
  • Check for ice: Look for ice blocking the fan blades or shroud. If present, fully defrost the unit. Do not force the fan to turn if it is frozen.
  • Spin test: With power off, gently spin the fan blades by hand. They should move freely without grinding.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the fan connector and wires for burns, loose plugs, or damage.
  • Replace fan: If the fan is seized, noisy, or does not run after defrost and reconnection, replace the evaporator fan motor assembly with the correct Beko part.

Warning: Do not run the refrigerator with panels removed for extended periods; airflow patterns are critical for proper cooling.
