Problematic Beko Refrigerator and Extended Wait Times for Repair
In 2023, I purchased a Beko refrigerator for my summer home, using it for only three months before properly unplugging it for the off-season. When I returned in summer 2024, the fridge wouldn't cool despite all lights working and making the usual sounds.
I contacted customer service on July 7, 2024, explaining my situation and mentioning my 2.5-year-old child at home with no alternative cooling option. Despite multiple follow-ups, the Mersin Beko authorized service only arrived on July 11.
They determined the product was defective, still under warranty, and not due to user error. They suggested a possible leak, proposing to take it to their workshop for repair or replacement with a new unit if unrepairable. However, they left without taking the fridge.
I applied for a loaner unit but was told I had to wait 10 days. I called customer service at least four times between July 12-17, emphasizing my urgent situation - 10 days without a fridge in Mersin's heat, with a young child.
Finally, the service promised to collect the unit between 9 AM and 10 PM. When I called after 10 AM, they said the request was still open. It's been 10 days of inconvenience caused by Beko's defective product and poor service. While customer service is understanding, the authorized service is utterly incompetent. Choosing Beko was a mistake!
