The short answer
No code in the Beko K table carries the IM suffix that marks an ice-maker build, so nothing in this family is plumbed. An ice complaint here is frost, and across seven codes of differing size the same rule holds: where the frost sits tells you what caused it, and a tall door admitting air at its lower edge is the most common answer.
What you observe
- Frost concentrated at the bottom of the fresh-food compartment — Warm air entering under a racked door.
- Beads of condensation on the door frame at the lower corners — The same fault caught before the moisture has frozen.
- An even sheet of frost across a rear wall — The compartment is running colder than it needs to.
- A crust across the freezer walls — Humid air entering at the freezer door or drawer.
- NEAR MISS - water under the crisper instead of frost — The same moisture a stage on; the water-leak page covers it.
Causes, most likely first on this family
- Fresh-food door racked on its hinges — First, and most pronounced on the larger codes in the family.
- Compartment set colder than it needs to be — Second, and the cause of even frost rather than localised frost.
- Blocked drain refreezing meltwater — Third, and the fault that becomes a leak complaint if left.
- Freezer door or drawer not sealing — Fourth, and the source of freezer-side frost specifically.
- Stalled defrost cycle — Last, and the explanation when frost returns within weeks of a clearance.
Check in this order, and why
- Note exactly where the frost is — First, because location names the cause more reliably than anything else on this platform.
- Test the fresh-food door with paper at the bottom corner and the top — Second. Grip at the top with release at the bottom is a racked door.
- Check the setting and when it was last changed — Third. Even frost across a whole wall is usually a setting.
- Check the drain opening for a local build-up — Fourth. Ice there alone means a blockage, not general frosting.
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 chip frost off a rear wall or an evaporator with a metal tool - the tubing behind the liner punctures easily. Let it thaw with the doors open instead, and never use a heat gun.

When to call a technician
Call when frost returns within weeks on a cabinet whose doors seal and whose settings are correct, because that is a defrost heater, thermostat or control fault. Call also if the hinges will not bring a racked door back into line.
