Details

The manufacturer has issued the following safety notice:

It has come to our attention that in a very small number of incidents, involving certain models of Beko branded frost free fridge freezers, it may be possible for the defrost timer (located at the back of the fridge) to fail, overheat and cause a potential fire hazard.

These products were independently tested before being placed on the market and met all UK and European safety standards when the products were sold. Nevertheless, as a responsible manufacturer which takes the safety of our products very seriously, we wish to make a free in-home modification to remove any potential risk with this component.

We urge you to contact us immediately about this important issue.

We are seeking to contact owners of these products to carry out a free of charge modification to the defrost timer and we urge anyone who has one of these affected fridge freezers to register their details on this online checker or call us direct.

We deeply regret any incident involving any Beko product and we are working with all relevant organisations to rectify an identified problem with some of our fridge freezers. Quality, customer safety and satisfaction is paramount to Beko; all our products are independently tested before being placed on the market and meet all UK and European safety standards. 492,000 products have been sold and most have been safely in use, some for over ten years.
