BEKO Fridge/Freezer problem
Hi all, I have a problem with a BEKO Glacier fridge/freezer (FN244), I've had to leave it unplugged last night as the noise was keeping me awake....basically their is a click from the rear of the fridge, the compressor kicks in and runs for a few seconds max and then the click noise and it shuts down again wherease usually the compressor runs for a period of time.
Any ideas of where to start looking ?
Thanks in advance
James

Re: BEKO Fridge/Freezer problem
hi james,
the click is the noise of a clixton< a device to detect an overheating compressor<,
so its a faulty clixton ,
or a problem with the gas charge

Thank You for the reply, Is this 'Clixton' part the same as a PTC relay ?
Is it an easy swap ?

Re: BEKO Fridge/Freezer problem
Nowhere in the UK had stock of this part until recently, so I ordered it, it arrived this morning (£7 part), stripped old unit down and got the relay swapped but the fridge/freezer's doing exactly the same thing....clciks on, compressor runs for maybe 2 or 3 seconds and then cuts off again....just keeps doing this.
Is it time for the bin lol !? I feel good that I have tried to repair this beast but when a second hand fridge freezer can be had for £30-£50 is there any other cheap options to try before it ends up down the tip ?

Re: BEKO Fridge/Freezer problem
The click signifies a compressor fault,a protector is built into the compressor which operates when the starting current exceeds the normal,maybe seized or burnt out or winding failure,could have had a refrigerant leak which caused the problem.
Not a diy job,expensive to have compressors changed,will make a mess of £200,is it worth it ?
