BEKO Fridge Freezers



We're reporting safety concerns over a number of BEKO Fridge Freezers, which have been linked with up to 20 fires in the past three years. The manufacturers say there may be a problem with the defrost mechanism on some BEKO fridge freezers made between January 2000 and October 2006. They are offering to correct the fault free of charge in customers' own homes.

Fire chiefs warned today that lives are at risk after a model of fridge freezer, owned by thousands of homes and businesses, was pinpointed as a serious danger.

Investigators from London Fire Brigade said that a fire last week in Bermondsey, south-east London, which was thought to have been caused by a lightning strike, was in fact caused by a faulty Beko appliance.

There are believed to have been 20 fires in the capital alone involving the fridge freezers since 2008. These fires have left 15 people injured and one person dead.
