I have noticed that my Beko CDA751FW/1 fridge freezer is on most of the time (compressor on and freezer fan on). I have defrosted the freezer (which only had a small build up of ice). The compressor is hot but ok and keeping the freezer too cold (-30degC), because the fridge isnt getting cold enough, it seems. The thermostat control in the fridge (which is just a potentiometer) is ok, and the back top of the fridge is icing up and the bottom under the crisper trays. The unit seems to go into defrost mode now and then of which it all turns off the compressor and fan and defrosts ok, so I assume the defrost timer is working. So, I assume the thermostat is not working, or the middle rear panel coolers in the fridge (if there are any or whatever they are called) are not functioning to lower the temperature in the fridge temperature. So, my question is, where the heck is the actual thermostat. And are there more than 2 cooling zones in the fridge apart from the bottom/underneath (of the fridge) and the top back panel (6 inches high, the area above the top shelf). Hope this makes sense and someone can point me in the right direction. Surprisingly the compressor is happily cooling all the time, so far !! P.S. I have tried putting a frozen bottle of water in the fridge to cool it down, but without knowing where the thermostat actually is, I guess it doesnt prove too much.
There is no thermostat in cda751fw/1. apparently the pcb controls fridge temperature. which pcb, the main one or the one behind the temp dial I dont know which.
POTENTIAL BEKO REFRIGERATOR FIRE RISK AND RECALL NOTICE
I would
normally give a pointer to articles I have already posted this response on, but
as this is such a potentially serious matter, I have posted my entire response
here for you.
According to
several sources I have checked, including most importantly, BEKO's own website,
the MODEL numbers (not serial numbers) affected by the recall are as follows:

The fridges
affected were manufactured between January 2000 and October 2006. After shipping and sitting around in shops,
you can probably extend that margin to machines SOLD between 2000 and 2008. The first 2 digits of the serial numbers
indicate the year of manufacture, so if your serial number doesn't start 00,
01, 02, 03, 04, 05 or 06 you don't even need to check.
If you go to
the BEKO website, there is a link to check your serial number:
https://refsafety.beko.co.uk/
The site also provides a mail address and a UK Freefone number that you can
call (Though I've tried the number and it keeps cutting me off!! I presume they
are swamped with calls)
It's highly unlikely you have an issue since the units with the fault were manufactured between 2000 and 2006, in addition to which, your model number doesn't appear in the list of at risk units. That said, for your reassurance:

I have to
say. Regardless of dates and matching serial
numbers, if I had an affected model,
I would be checking with BEKO anyway!!

To try to investigate and possibly solve the problem myself I would be very grateful if someone could tell me where the thermostat is on a Beko CDA751FW/1. And also how many cooling panels there are in the fridge section and where they are.
I have same problem. Where is the thermostat on CDA751FW/1 ?
