Beco washing machine error codes

Automatic machines equipped with a self-diagnosis system, in the event of any violations in the normal functioning of parts, assemblies and components immediately notify the user of a detected malfunction. On washers equipped with a display, alphanumeric error symbols will be displayed. Automata that do not have a screen will notify you of problems with the burning lights on the control panel. We will figure out what error codes of the Beco machine exist and what they mean.

Indication value

If the SMA Beko is equipped with a convenient and intuitive display, there should be no problems with decoding error codes. Having seen a combination of letters and numbers on the scoreboard, it is easy to determine what is out of order.

A bit more complicated is the situation with the technique on which there is no digital screen. The bulbs located on the control panel of the washing machine usually indicate which stage of the program the machine is currently performing. When working in normal mode, indicators show that the machine does the main wash, rinse, soak or spin cycle. However, LEDs can also perform another function - to signal the user about a malfunction in the system. We will figure out which malfunction codes of the washing machine are programmed in the database of the self-diagnostic system, and how this or that error is displayed on Beko models without a display.

Base self-diagnosis system

It usually happens that the operating instructions for the washing machine have been lost for a long time, and it is necessary to deal with the malfunction as soon as possible. Below is a list of the main errors available in the base of the washer. For the convenience of users, we indicate not only the alphanumeric designation, but also the sequence of illumination of the indicators.

• H1 - indicates a failure of the temperature sensor. The contact leading to the thermostat may have been interrupted. It is necessary to check the resistance of the thermistor using a multimeter, normally the value should be 4700 Ohm at an ambient temperature of 25 ° C. If during the inspection of the sensor it turns out that it is defective, install a new element.
• H2 - talks about a malfunction of the heating element. To eliminate the breakdown, it is necessary to carefully examine the contacts of the heater; if everything is in order with them, replace the electric heater.
• H3 - indicates that the heater is always on, that is, the fact of overheating of water in the drum has been ascertained. You should check the temperature sensor with a multimeter, measuring the resistance of the element. If the thermistor is working, there may be a malfunction on the main control board.

! To repair or replace the control board, it is better to invite a repairman.

• H4 - indicates the closure of the triac of the filler valve. Diagnostics of the element contacts will help to fix the malfunction. If the wiring is not damaged, you may have to repair or replace the main circuit board of the machine.
• H5 - indicates a pump malfunction. In most cases it is a weak pump suction power. To eliminate the damage, clean the drain filter, eliminate kinks or defects in the drain pipe, get rid of debris in the hose. If this does not help, install a new pump.
• H6 - indicates that a short circuit has occurred in the triac of the SMA engine. However, this error can also occur due to the failure of the triac, rupture of the engine wiring, defect of the control board. If it is revealed that an open circuit has occurred in the motor, the motor will have to be replaced.
• H7 - indicates a breakdown of the pressure switch. Intelligence detected a malfunction of the water level sensor. There may be several reasons: defects in contacts leading from the pressostat to the main control module, failure of the level sensor directly, or breakdown of the control board. It is possible that the error is displayed due to a malfunction of the UBL mechanical lock.
• H11 - indicates that an open circuit has occurred in the motor circuit of the machine. It is necessary to examine the contacts leading to the engine, check the wires connected to the tachogenerator, examine the integrity of the wiring from the electronic controller to the engine. If the contacts are not broken, check the motor and tachogenerator.

Knowing which element of the system is out of order, it is easy to make repairs with your own hands. Having understood the designation of certain breakdowns, it is easy to understand what actions should be taken to return the washer to its previous working capacity.
