The short answer
The Beko G family covers four model codes of a tall European-format cabinet with a stack of freezer drawers below the fresh-food compartment. That drawer stack is where most noise complaints on this platform end up: a stack has several sliding joints, and any one of them buzzing against the cabinet face sounds far worse than it is.
What you observe
- A buzz that changes when you press a freezer drawer facing — That drawer is sitting proud on its runners and vibrating against the cabinet.
- A whir that stops when a door or drawer is opened — A compartment fan, cut by the switch, usually striking frost.
- A drone from the base — The cabinet resonating with the compressor - levelling or contact.
- A rattle from behind the cabinet — Tubing or a clip resting against the carcass.
- NEAR MISS - noise with a compartment warming — A symptom of a cooling fault; the cooling page comes first.
Causes, most likely first on this family
- A freezer drawer sitting proud on its runners — First on this platform, because a stack gives several independent chances for it and the symptom is loud out of proportion to the cause.
- Uneven feet on a tall cabinet — Second. A full-height European body magnifies a small rock into an audible drone.
- Contact at the back of the cabinet — Third, and quick to find by hand while the compressor runs.
- A compartment fan striking frost — Fourth, and the only cause here that also threatens temperature.
- Compressor mounts hardened with age — Last, and the only cause needing the cabinet opened.
Check in this order, and why
- Press each freezer drawer facing in turn while the noise is happening — First, because the stack is the leading cause and the buzzing drawer is rarely the one you would guess.
- Open each compartment in turn — Second. A door or drawer switch cuts the fan, so a noise that stops is the fan.
- Press each top corner of the cabinet — Third. A body that clicks or settles is standing on three feet.
- Feel behind the cabinet while it runs — Fourth. Ease any tube or clip resting on the carcass clear.
Before you open anything
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Never defeat a door or drawer switch to watch a fan turn - it is an interlock and the blade is unguarded. Empty a loaded drawer stack before tilting the cabinet to reach a foot.

When to call a technician
Call when every drawer sits flush, the cabinet is level, nothing at the back is touching and no fan is striking frost. Call immediately if a noise arrives with a burning smell or with a compartment that has begun to warm.
