Fridge freezer issues

Hello

Beko Fridge/freezer combo suddenly decided not to work properly. Electrics OK as appliance still works & light inside is on but very little cold being produced inside in both compartments & food going off quickly now. Tried replacing fuse in plug but no joy. Water outlet runs through OK too. Appliance keeps producing a single click noise every 10-30 mins as trying to reset a thermostat setting.

any ideas appreciated

    Is the compressor running.
    Have both fridge and freezer stopped cooling
    Model no so people can look up the specs wiring.

    q1- no idea if I'm being honest, by compressor i assume you mean the big round bowl contraption at the bottom where cooling gas is kept, if yes, then it is very hot which I assume is normal anyway.

    q2- yes to both, it started with only fridge then freezer followed suit 1-2 days later

    q3- Beko CF6004APW Frost Free Fridge Freezer

    thanks

    Probably a total cooling failure, freezer just took extra time to warm up.

    If comfortable with a multimeter there are some basic checks for the cheaper parts like thermisters if a board often not worth fixing.

    How old?

    Agree ukwhitegoods has more info and knowledgeable people.
