Please Help With Beko FF Fidge Freezer

[Dave W]

Hi all, I'm having problems with my Beko CDA653F fridge freezer.

Got up this morning and everything was defrosted, both fridge and freezer. I have done the following to try and find the fault.

Cleaned all the fluff from round the back.

Checked the cooler bit behind the panel in the freezer to see if it's frozen up, it hasn't, it's the same temperature as everything else.

Left it off for an hour anyway.

Fiddled with the thermostat.

Checked that the fan in the freezer compartment is working (it is).

I can hear the compressor running, albeit a bit noisier than normal after 5 minutes of running and the fins on the back get a bit warm but the freezer simply isn't getting cold.

Any help would be gratefully received.

sounds like its lost its gas!!is the comp running constantly?

[Dave W]

Yep, comp is running all the time and pretty hard too by the sound and feel of it, it's boiling.

That's what I feared.

Not much point getting it regassed considering the price of a new one.

Looks like I'll be spending fathers day looking for a bloody fridge.:mad:

Cheers for your help mate, much appreciated.
