Hi
All help and suggestions very gratefully received.
This Beko CDA 660 Fridge freezer keeps icing up the evaporator which is mounted behind a removable back panel in the freezer section.
It will last maybe a month before the icing is so bad (can get almost a litre of ice of it) that the freezer temperature clibs too high.
I take the back panel off, melt it all and have another month or so.
I have checked the heater element which is fixed to the evaporator - its 520 ohms.
There is an ELTH thermostat clipped onto one of the refrigerant pipes - 2 blue wires short circuit all the time and two white wires approx 1 ohm when still frozen and open circuit when room temperature.
I have not found the timer - guess its round the back and the unit is very difficult to get out of its hole.
Is the problem almost certainly the timer?? What else could it be?
If so I will buy a replacement before I take the FF out, so that way only one in/out session.
Thanks to all
