Troubleshooting
Appliance not cooling or not cold enough
Check if the power plug is securely inserted. Ensure the temperature settings are correctly adjusted. Confirm the door is closing completely and not left ajar. Avoid placing hot food directly into the fridge freezer, and do not overload the compartments, as this can impede air circulation.
Unusual noises coming from the appliance
Verify that the appliance is level on the floor, as uneven surfaces can cause vibrations. Ensure no items inside are touching the back wall or each other. Normal operational sounds include humming from the compressor and gurgling from the refrigerant.
Water pooling inside the fridge or on the floor
This could indicate a blocked drain hole. Locate the small drainage hole at the back of the fridge compartment (usually above the crisper drawers) and gently clear any obstructions with a soft pipe cleaner or cotton bud. Also, ensure the appliance is not operating in an unheated environment.
LED light not working
First, ensure the appliance has power. If other functions are working, the LED light may need replacement. This is usually a service job; consult a qualified technician or Beko customer service.
Door not closing properly
Check if any food items or containers are obstructing the door's closure. Inspect the door seals (gaskets) for dirt, damage, or wear. Clean the seals if dirty. If damaged, seals may need to be replaced by a service technician.
