Washing machines are incredible modern conveniences, but they're not immune to faults and malfunctions.
Of course, you wouldn't want to tinker with an expensive piece of equipment like your Beko washing machine using a big hammer and minimal skills. However, there might be a straightforward, non-mechanical solution to your problem.
Here, we'll discuss five common Beko washing machine problems and what you can do to resolve them without reaching for your screwdriver. If you find the issue persists, then you might want to consider seeking professional Beko repair to keep your appliance in excellent working order.
Beko washing machine not draining
If the water is not draining out of your machine, you may have a problem with your:
- Drain hose: ensure this is not clumped up, folded in on itself, or stretched out too far.
- Filter: this may be blocked. If you feel comfortable opening the filter housing to check it for dirt or blockages, do so. Be aware that when you open the housing there may be water inside. You can drain the water out using a tube. Simply put a container down to catch it, and/or get a bunch of towels ready. Rinse the filter and replace it.
If your Beko washing machine won't start a cycle after draining, you may have a more complicated issue that requires an engineer.
Beko washing machine not spinning
There could be a non-mechanical issue affecting your machine's performance, which might cause it not to spin properly. One key factor to consider is the type and size of the load you've placed inside your machine.
To ensure your Beko washing machine runs smoothly, avoid overloading or/or underloading it. It's also a good idea not to mix heavy woolen items and towels with very light items in the same load so the machine can evenly balance the weight of your garments.
If these tips don't resolve your Beko washing machine problems, you can try another quick fix. Remove the filter, rinse it thoroughly, and clear out anything that might be blocking it. However, please be cautious when you open the drawer or door to access your filter, as it may inadvertently allow water to drain from the machine. To prevent any mess, take the necessary steps to prepare for this situation.

Your Beko Washing Machine Won't Start
If your Beko washing machine is not starting, there’s a simple reset process that can often resolve the issue.How to reset your Beko washing machine:
- Locate the start, pause, and cancel buttons
- Press them all down at the same time for around 3-5 seconds
- Your machine should now be reset
Beko washing machine stuck on a cycle
As far as Beko washing machine's common faults go, getting stuck on a cycle is one of the most frequent. Here's where your problem might lie:
- You may have accidentally set your machine to “hold wash” or “rinse hold”
- You may have inadvertently chosen a night cycle program where there is a delay before the machine starts to cycle.
If you're sure neither of these is the issue, the culprit could be the filter once again. Locate it, extract it – being sure, as ever, to prepare for water that might be in the compartment, and clear out anything like stray hairpins, loose change, or general debris that could be causing a blockage. Rinse the filter and put it back in place.
The door won't open
If your Beko washing machine door won't open, you potentially have a very messy problem on your hands. The first step is to ensure your machine is not still filled with water.
If there's water in the drum
If there's still water in there, the fact that your door won't open might actually be a safety feature designed to save you from a waterlogged kitchen or utility room. There might be some dirt or detritus in the filter making this system activate to prevent the door from opening for your own good!
If there is water in the drum, first – as detailed above – extract the filter (being careful of the water that may be released by opening the housing), rinse it, and replace it. This may be what is preventing your machine from draining, and thus your door from opening.
If there's no water in the drum
This is where you'll need some Beko washing machine troubleshooting skills as there are a number of different things which might be wrong:
- Faulty pressure switch: there is a pressure switch inside which tells the machine when the cycle is over. If this is malfunctioning, unplugging your machine from the wall for 10 minutes should fix the problem.
- Faulty interlock: if that doesn't help, your interlock may be at fault. This is a very risky thing to diagnose unless you have the right skills and experience. If the simple “on again off again” approach doesn't work, you'll probably need an engineer. Otherwise, you'll be left trying to wedge or wangle the door open, which is an easy way to break it.
- Faulty hinges in a top-loading washing machine: the hinges on your washing machine's lid may have worn down and you might need to get an engineer to replace them. Even if you’ve pinpointed this as the issue, it’s often best to leave the replacement to a professional to ensure it’s done correctly.
