How to Access and Use the Beko Refrigerator Service Mode & Test Cycle

Disclaimer: Accessing the service mode and test cycle on your Beko refrigerator is intended for diagnostic purposes by qualified technicians or experienced users. Incorrect use could potentially lead to improper settings or component operation. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.

This Beko refrigerator service mode guide explains how to enter the service mode on specific Beko refrigerator 4-doors models and navigate the diagnostic “Test Cycle”.

I. Entering the BEKO Refrigerator Service Mode

You must initiate this sequence within the first 30 seconds after powering on the refrigerator.

1. Power On & Initial Display Sequence:
   • Plug in or power on the refrigerator.
   • Observe the display: Typically, all icons will light up briefly, then turn off.
   • The display will automatically show software information:
     • First: Display version and revision (e.g., 0:0).
     • Second: Control board version and revision (e.g., 4:1).
     • Third (Optional – may be skipped on some models): Current temperatures of the compartments (°C or °F).
   • Do not press any buttons during this initial automatic display sequence.
2. Activate Service Mode:
   • Within 30 seconds of power-on, press and hold the Alarm Off button and the On/Off button simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds.
   • The display will enter service mode, showing one of the following codes: PS 0, PS 2, or PS 7. (PS stands for Password/Program Select).
3. Navigate Service Mode Options:
   • The available modes usually include:
     • PS 0: Test Cycle (Diagnostic tests for components)
     • PS 2: Filter Counter (Access/reset filter timer – function may vary)
     • PS 7: Showroom Function / Demo Mode (Disables cooling for display purposes)
   • Press the Alarm Off button repeatedly to cycle through the available PS options (PS 0, PS 2, PS 7).
   • Press the Ice/Temp (°C/°F) button (this button might be labelled differently, e.g., ICE/OFF or include °C/°F³') to confirm your selection and enter the chosen mode.

II. Accessing and Running the Test Cycle (PS 0)

This is the primary diagnostic mode.

1. Select PS 0: Use the Alarm Off button to navigate until the display shows PS 0.
2. Confirm Selection: Press the Ice/Temp (°C/°F) button. The Test Cycle will begin.

Test Cycle Steps:

The Test Cycle proceeds through several steps. You generally advance to the next step or activate functions within a step using the Ice/Temp (°C/°F) button.

• Step 1: Display Test
  • Upon entering the Test Cycle, all segments and icons on the display panel should light up or blink simultaneously. This verifies the display itself is working correctly.
  • Press Ice/Temp (°C/°F) to proceed to the next step.
• Step 2: Software Version Display
  • The display will show the software version and revision for the display panel.
  • Press Ice/Temp (°C/°F) again.
  • The display will show the software version and revision for the main control board.
  • Press Ice/Temp (°C/°F) to proceed to the next step.
• Step 3: Sensor Temperature Reading
  • The refrigerator begins displaying temperature readings from its various sensors.
  • The display typically shows a sensor code and its current temperature reading.
  • Refer to the table below for common codes:

• Navigation:
  • Press the Rapid/Quick Cool button (or similar function button) to scroll forward through the list of sensors.
  • Press the Alarm Off button to scroll backward through the list.
• Proceeding to Component Tests: Press the Alarm Off and On/Off buttons simultaneously briefly (do not hold). This moves from sensor readings to the next phase (Fans/Lighting test).
• Step 4: Fans and Lighting Test
  • This step tests internal lights and fans.
  • Pressing Ice/Temp (°C/°F):
    • May initially toggle the fridge and freezer cabinet lighting ON/OFF.
    • Starts the fan tests. Subsequent presses may cycle through fan speeds or activate different fans (behavior can vary).
  • Pressing Alarm Off: Skips or selects the specific fan to be tested/controlled.
  • Proceeding to Main Components Test: Press the Alarm Off and On/Off buttons simultaneously briefly again.
• Step 5: Main Components Test
  • This step allows individual activation of major components for testing.
  • Use the Alarm Off button to cycle through and select the component to test (identified by a code on the display).
  • Press the Ice/Temp (°C/°F) button to toggle the selected component ON or OFF.
  • Refer to the table below for common component codes:

III. Exiting the Beko Refrigerator Service Mode / Test Cycle

You can exit the service mode or test cycle using one of the following methods:

1. Manual Exit: Press and hold the Alarm Off and On/Off buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
2. Automatic Timeout: The refrigerator will automatically exit the test cycle if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds.
3. Power Cycle: Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet and plug it back in. The unit will restart in normal operating mode.
