Owner reports the 974509 MB never cooled from day one; authorized service replaced the fan motor but cooling still failed, and Beko refused a refund.
What to check. If a 974509 MB fails to cool, the fan motor is a known first suspect, but this owner shows replacement alone did not fix it — expect possible repeat visits and a hard time getting a refund even under warranty.

Owner reports excessive noise from the plastic assembly above the compressor after about 6 months of use.
What to check. Expect the 974509 MB to develop a noisy compressor-area rattle within the first year; it is a nuisance rather than a cooling failure, but it may require a service visit to silence.

A verified buyer notes the freezer reached -18 quickly but the vegetable compartment stayed at +12 and took about 18 hours to reach +4 on first startup.
What to check. On first power-up the fresh-food compartment of the 974509 MB can be very slow to reach temperature; allow up to ~18 hours before loading perishables, and don't treat the slow initial cooldown as a defect.
