Faults and repairs of Beco washing machines
Many consumers note the reliability of washing machines that were manufactured 10-15 years ago. But even with such machines, the working resource is not infinite and they finally break down. Repair of washing machines Beko, Indesit, Ariston and other brands is not always justified and you have to buy a new machine.
But in some cases, the problem is not so serious, it can be eliminated with your own hands, thereby extending the age of your beloved “home helper”. That is why we will talk in this article about typical breakdowns and repair of Beko washing machines.
"Symptoms" of malfunctions of cars of this brand
Experienced specialists in the repair of washing machines are able, looking at the operation of the equipment, to determine which unit or element is broken or is about to break and needs to be repaired. It would seem that if there is a problem with your machine, call such a specialist from the service center, and he will figure out the cause of the breakdown, and if you are lucky, he will fix it on the spot. Everything is quick, easy and without too much headache, and most importantly, in some cases, such an act is fully justified.
But there is one “but”, the call of the master and his repair services cost money, and considerable. It often happens that repair services are more expensive than the real cost of an automatic washing machine Beko and machines of other brands. It's a shame for the old junk to give that kind of money, especially if there is no way to quickly buy a new machine. There is only one way out - try to fix the damage with your own hands. But for this you need to correctly identify the failure, which will help the "symptoms" of malfunctions of Beco washing machines.
- Water does not heat up, and washing occurs in cold water, or water, on the contrary, heats up very strongly, not in accordance with the temperature set by the user.
- Water is poured into the tank for a very long time or is not poured at all.
- The hatch does not close until the end and because of this the washing does not start.
- After washing, the water does not drain and this is accompanied (or not accompanied) by a strong hum.
- The drum of the Beco washing machine rotates with a strong rattle, clang and other extraneous sounds.
- It is impossible to start a single washing program, because the machine blinks all the lights after switching on or the program is set, but does not start.
- The machine does not turn on from the button, although the power cord is plugged in.
- The Beko machine, which has a display, gives an error code and “refuses” to work.
Note! There may be more symptoms of malfunctions, but most often users have to deal with the above.
Typical causes of breakdowns and their features
As we noted above, malfunctions of washing machines give themselves out as external "symptoms" of malfunction or even failure. But the problem is, how do these symptoms relate to a specific breakdown? Here, some knowledge and expert advice will already be required, let us present them briefly.
If you see that washing occurs in cold water, even though according to the program the water should be warm or hot - this may indicate a malfunction of the heating element or control board. The same conclusions can be made if the water is constantly overheating, that is, the user sets the temperature to 30 0C, and the system brings it almost to a boil. In case of water overheating, the likelihood of a malfunction of the control board is even greater than a malfunction of the heater, but both elements must be checked.
When starting the washing program, the machine should start pouring water into the tank. This happens with varying intensity, depending on the program selected by the user. To see the process of water filling, just look through the window of the hatch. But if you see that it takes 20-30, or even 40 minutes, the drum slowly rotates, but the water does not enter the tank, or time passes at all and the machine freezes, stopping the program and giving a certain error code. There may be four reasons for this:
- there is no water in the water supply system - this fact is easy to verify by opening any tap;
- the water filter located at the base of the inlet hose (if any) is clogged, so water does not enter the machine;
- the filler valve has broken;
- defective control unit element.
The Beko automatic washing machine is designed so that it does not start the washing program until the hatch is completely closed and the sensor of the locking device sends an appropriate signal to the control board. If the hatch does not close or seems to be closed, but the washing program still does not activate, it means that the locking device has broken and does not hold the hatch, because of this the sensor cannot work, or the sensor itself has broken.
Note! If you encounter a problem with the sunroof locking device, try to gently press down this sunroof with your knee and turn on the washing program again, perhaps the locking hook just does not fully enter the mating part and does not lock.
After completing the washing program, the washing machine should drain the soapy water and pour fresh rinse. This process is accompanied by a rumble of the drain pump. Water is drained quite quickly, after which the machine begins to draw clean water. If the machine, after a fairly long time, cannot drain the water, and then freezes, or it tries to drain the water, the pump hums, but the drain does not occur, the problem is:
- in the pump;
- in the control board;
- in a clogged drain hose or sewer.
If the machine is very noisy, the drum rotates with a terrible clang, rattle and knock, it is very possible that the bearings have broken or just a foreign metal object got into the tank, stuck between its wall and the wall of the drum and wedged. Such a breakdown requires immediate shutdown of the machine and taking measures to eliminate the problem.
Also, the machine may not turn on at all, or after turning on, start blinking all the lights, and this is repeated from time to time and turning on / off the machine again does not work. In this case, it can:
- break the on / off button of the washing machine;
- to break the control unit;
- break the network wire.
Best of all, if a Beco washing machine with a display does not just freeze, it will produce a system error with a specific code. The manufacturer has provided error codes so that the user can identify the failure without contacting a specialist. The description and interpretation of these codes is presented in the table below.
Can I fix the damage with my own hands?
Theoretically, all Beko automatic washing machines are repairable and it doesn’t matter how many kg load their drums, how old they are and whether their control panels have displays. But in practice, problems often arise, or repair is impossible to do with your own hands, or it is not advisable due to the high cost, or there are no suitable spare parts. In any case, if you find a breakdown and take on an independent repair, you need to consider these factors so that in the end you do not stay in the loser, losing time and money.
Important! For example, replacing the bearings of a washing machine, sometimes it takes a specialist hours, consider how much time you can handle, if you can make a replacement correctly.
Experts strongly recommend undertaking only for the simplest repair, which, for example, is associated either with the replacement of units, or with the elimination of blockages. The rest is better left to the masters, because there is a risk of spoiling something, and this again will result in unnecessary expenses. So, which of the typical breakdowns can be fixed with your own hands?
- Clean the drain filterby removing debris and dirt from there that interfere with the normal operation of the machine.
- Replace the drain pump., but only if you are convinced that the old one has failed.
- Check and replace intake valve. To do this, you will also have to make sure that the problem is not with the control board.
- Replace ten.
Ten breaks down on Beco washing machines quite often, especially for some reason on models of domestic production with a load of 6 kg.It is not difficult to replace it yourself; the main thing is to carry out the following actions in accordance with the recommendations of specialists.
- Ten in Veko washing machines is located in the back of the tank, so the first thing we do is remove the back wall by unscrewing a few bolts.
- Having removed the wall, we see a large round wheel - this is a pulley, two large contacts sticking out of the tank a little lower - this is ten.
- We take a suitable key and unscrew the fastener holding the heating element, disconnect the wires from the contacts.
- Carefully, but with effort, we pull the ten out of the groove.
- We get the same heating element and continue to work.
- Carefully insert the new heating element into the groove and fasten it.
- We connect the wires to the contacts, put the back wall of the machine in place and check the operation of the new element.
To summarize, we note that Beko washing machines are generally distinguished by a fair amount of reliability, nevertheless, they, like other devices, break down. To invite a specialist is an overhead matter, so this should only be done if the breakdown is complex, in all the rest you can try to save money by repairing yourself.

The Veko machine of the German assembly worked for 10.5 years, only 8.5 years ago it replaced the programmer assembly under warranty.
VEKO works since 2009
I have been plowing Beko since 2004, only the case has disabled the door and there is a pip that locks the hatch. She broke off. Where to start and where to buy (116 region)?
Veko has been working since 2006. Mechanics. In 2016, replaced the brushes. Now the drain is not going.
Tell me, please, the machine does not start, the start blinks and shows all the time 26 minutes are left until the end of the wash, although it does not wash. What's the matter?
Tell me, the machine only works in rinse and spin, BEKO, what should I do? The reset program did, it helps.
I have an eyelid since 2007. Today it shows 1 minute on the display, and on the power button shows a pause. What to do?
Beko push-button. The light is on. Buttons work, but not spinning. 1 day may not work, but then it may wash. I do not know what to do.
SM Beko wml 15060 kl, when you select any program, starts spinning for one acceleration and stops, after some time, without turning off the power, it turns on spinning again. At the same time, neither the pump nor the other program works. What could be the reason?
All breakdowns and failures due to a clogged drain from pile of linen - this is the axiom !!!
SM Beko - 11 years the heater burned out, replaced brushes, 1 bearing, oil seal, power button.
PMM Beko - 11 years the system module firmware has flown, 1 relay has burned down.
Somehow everything worked out together.
Beko refrigerator 10 years. The back chamber where the evaporator was swollen. Threw away.
SM Beko has been operating since 2001, where power surges from 140 to 260 almost daily. I changed the drain filter, today the pump is covered, I’m resuscitating the car. You probably can’t find such quality anymore.
It is necessary to change the heater. But which one to buy? Where to get the brand, model, power of the part? On different sites, the information is different. I have an eyelid wkd 24500t.
The mode knob scrolls hard and with a rattle.
When rinsing and spinning the machine jumps through the bathroom. What could be the problem?
The point is the tachometer, which stands on the axis of the engine.
Most likely the tacho magnet is damaged.I took off the white cover, where I found pieces of a magnet, assembled them and glued superglue in place to the motor rotor. Then he processed it with sandpaper so as not to touch the sensor itself.
The drum fell.
Racks.
Hey. The typewriter is 15 years old. Water is poured, warmed, deflated, but the drum stopped spinning.
What to do, the Beko machine starts to draw water and immediately shows the end of the wash?
If the power button is mechanical, then the contacts may burn in it and it will be weird, it will turn off without finishing the wash. That's just such a defect eliminated.
The machine was bought in 1999. Water is leaking from below, I can not understand where. Not from hoses for sure.
A possible cause is the drum bearing.
Beco machine. Poorly flushes the powder from the container. What is the reason?
I had it like that. This is because the water flows slightly into the container. It is necessary to clean the filter, which stands on the water supply (it is in the place where the hose is attached to the rear panel).
Either the water pressure is low, or the filter at the water inlet of the washing machine is clogged, or the drain holes in the powder receiver are clogged!
Hello. I have an old-fashioned Beco machine. Stopped turning on. He took off the lid, on the button wires in one place were charred. Is it possible to connect directly without a button. If so, how? Thank you in advance for your response.
Hello. Machine BEKO WMN 6358SE. Dismantled yesterday to clean. I did everything, collected it. It works, but water is pouring into the wrong compartment of the powder receptacle (to the far right during washing and rinsing with air conditioning). Tell me, what could be the reason?
Hello, the VEKO machine at 6 kg without a display, it’s half a year. The water stopped flowing in full, but it still erases. And during the spin, the water does not merge.
Change the pump (drain motor).
SM VEKO erases well, but stops half an hour before the end of the wash. An inverted tap appears on the display. Then I put it simply in the rinse mode, it achieves everything. What can be wrong?
SM VEKO the extra rinse lamp lights up and the start does not turn on.
Good day. The VEKO machine is about 15 years old. The screen works, the start sensor blinks and the letter e is next. Does not respond to the start of the wash, what should I do?
Good day. Machine VEKO. I turned on the program, poured water, started working. After half an hour, it stopped, does not drain water, does not respond to commands. Disconnected from the network, after on. same effect. Tell me what to do? Machine without display.
