In detail: beko washing machine do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Washing machines that have been in operation for 10-15 years sooner or later begin to break down due to wear of the parts. Any technique has its own finite resource. The Beko washing machine is no exception - malfunctions that happen to it are divided into three categories. The first ones allow you to make repairs on your own, the second ones require the intervention of a specialist, well, and the third ones are so complex and expensive in terms of money that it is easier to purchase a replacement for a washing machine (SM). We will figure out when we will repair the Beko washing machines with our own hands, and when we need the help of the masters.
Dismantling the Beko automatic washing machine is impossible without knowing its structure - you can familiarize yourself with it with the instructions that come with each unit of the product. According to the statistics of service centers, SM Veko breaks down due to the following reasons:
- Dirt builds up in the drain. Or the pump is broken - 30% of all calls.
- Electronic module malfunctions - 20%. And most often budget-class models with Invensys motherboards break down. The element is made of a low-grade material that is prone to cracking - because of this, the conductive paths are damaged. Most often, the seven-story valves that control the operation of the heating element, the filler valve, and the electric motor break down.
- Breakage of temperature sensors - 15%.
- Depressurization and, as a result, leaks - 10%.
- Extraneous noise - 10%. They appear due to a malfunction of the bearings or the ingress of foreign bodies into the apparatus.
Before using the Beko washing machine, read its instructions, and before disassembling - its device. If you entrust the washing machine to the master, there is no doubt that he will quickly find the cause of the malfunction and offer the best solution to the problem. High prices for services force home craftsmen to find out on their own - what is broken in the typewriter? Many problems are eliminated without the help of wizards, especially if you have tools, instructions and a diagram of the device at hand. Almost all modifications can be repaired by hand - WKB 51001 M, WKB 61031 PTYA, WKB 61001 Y, etc.

Considering the prices for repair work, why not try to cope without the participation of the masters, especially if the washing machine is 10 years old and is no longer so scary if it breaks completely: it is still time to update the "park". Below are the typical breakdowns faced by the owners of Turkish washing machines:
- The water is not heated to the value provided by the program or set by the user. Clothes are washed in cool water, regardless of the program. The opposite effect is also possible - water overheating above the required temperature.
- The liquid slowly fills the washer. Or it is not filled at all.
- The Beko washing machine does not start due to an uncovered hatch.
- At the end of the cycle, the liquid is not drained. This condition may be accompanied by a strong hum.
- The drum makes loud noises as it rotates.
- Programs and modes do not start, and the indicators flash all at the same time. Or the light is on and the CMA does not start washing.
- Pressing the start button does not start the machine, but the power cord is plugged into the outlet.
- Beko washing machine models with a display show error codes - H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 and H7. The SMA does not work at the same time.
These are not all "symptoms" of problems with Veko machines - we have listed the most common ones. Let's consider further how to eliminate the most typical breakdowns.
In the CMA, the dirty liquid is passed through a drain filter, which prevents hair, threads and dirt particles from entering the pump.The user's task is to clean the filter. But first you have to find him. As a rule, it is located at the bottom of the device. Before removing the filter, place a basin next to it or place a rag so that the water gushing from the hole does not spread across the floor.
In some Beko models, the filter is supplemented with an emergency hose - for convenient drainage of the liquid. How to clean a drain:
- Turn the filter clockwise and remove it.
- Clean the removed element from dirt and then wash it under running water.
- Use a screwdriver to clean the nipple - debris can also build up in it.
While you're at it with your tools, do one more useful thing at the same time - preventive cleaning of the inlet filter mesh. Through it, water is supplied, which may contain dirt particles. Retaining in the grid, they prevent the normal filling of the tank. Before putting the mesh back in place, look at the water intake hose - there may also be a blockage in it.
The problem can be solved, but it will be necessary to partially disassemble the device. TEN is a thermoelectric heater, among the leaders in the list of frequently breaking elements. Due to the poor quality of water, salt precipitates - scale deposits on the surface of the heater. When there is too much of it, the heating element does not work well, and then completely breaks down. The limescale layer prevents normal heat dissipation. The heater, deprived of the ability to give the generated heat to the water, simply burns out - it has to be replaced.
But even when using ideal water or using special anti-scale agents, there is no guarantee that the heating element will not burn out. He has a certain resource of work, after which wear and tear occurs. Problems with the heating element are signaled by fault codes H2 and H3. But to find out what exactly happened, you need to get to the heater. There are Veko models in which the heating element is in the back, there are also those in which it is placed in front.
To remove and check the heater, you need to disassemble the Beko washing machine. Sequencing:
- To get the heating element located in front of the device, it is necessary to dismantle the cuff on the hatch. It should be removed very carefully - the cuff can be easily damaged, which will subsequently lead to leaks.
- You can see the tail of the heating element with contacts and wires going to them. Disconnect the wires.
- Measure the resistance with a tester. The normal value is in the 25-30 ohm range. Other values indicate a breakdown.
- Unscrew the nut of the bolt connection holding the heating element at the bottom of the drum and remove it.
- Remove debris and deposits at the installation site.
- Install the new element in reverse order. Connect the wires.
If after checking it turns out that the heater is working, proceed to checking the thermistor. This sensor is located under the top panel. Get it out and check it:
- Unscrew the screws to remove the top panel.
- Take out the powder container and disassemble the control panel - these elements prevent you from reaching the temperature sensor. When the sensor is accessible, disconnect the wires from it.
- Measure the resistance with a tester. Under normal conditions - 4.7 kOhm.
- Warm up the sensor - immerse it in warm water, the resistance should decrease. If the resistance remains unchanged, the sensor is broken, you will have to change it.
- The thermistor is mounted in the same way as dismantled - the steps are performed in the reverse order.
Only users with electrical repair skills can handle this task. If somewhere there is an open or oxidized contacts, they will quickly fix the problem. All that is needed for the repair work of the electrician "Beko" is a schematic electrical diagram. Where can I get it? It is enough to know the exact name of the model to find it on the manufacturer's web resource.
It is much more difficult with electronics - in order to repair or replace the control board, you need special knowledge and skills.The cost of the electronic module is high - it reaches one third of the price of the entire AGR. Therefore, it is not recommended to touch it - it is better to trust a specialist. If the repair is small, then the repair of the module will be inexpensive. But independent experiments can lead to the complete failure of the module - you will have to purchase a replacement for it and a simple malfunction will transform into expensive repair work.
Beko models have design advantages that are especially useful when replacing bearings:
- The device is much easier to disassemble than most analogues from other brands.
- Usually, you don't even have to take out the tank to replace the bearing.
- It is enough to remove the front part of the tank to remove the drum. The back remains in place.
- It is necessary to remove the entire tank when the bearing is destroyed - when it is necessary to get its remnants.
What other features of disassembly:
- To gain access to the front of the tank, remove the front panel. Next, unscrew the lower counterweight. Disconnect all tubing and wiring.
Advice. Before disconnecting the wires, fix the original position in the photo - this will help you later when you assemble the device.
- The front of the tank is held by 12 clamps - all of which must be removed to reach it. Now it remains to remove the back panel, dismantle the pulley put on the drum axle shaft, and then remove the drum itself. Please note that the seating of the bearings on the semi-axle is made with an interference fit, so it must be knocked out by gently hitting with a rubberized hammer.
The screw connection holding the pulley to the drum shaft must not be removed.
Experts advise users to carry out on their own only the simplest repair work that does not require special knowledge, namely:
- Replacement of damaged parts or assemblies.
- Elimination of blockages.
It is better to entrust all other cases to professionals so as not to harm the washer even more. Typical cases that you can deal with yourself:
- cleaning the drain filter;
- replacement of the pump;
- checking and replacing the intake valve;
- replacement of heating elements.
Different models of SMA Veko have not only a similar device and characteristics, but also the same problems. In a 5 kg Beko machine, the faults will be the same as in a 3 kg machine. Timely familiarization with the instructions and compliance with the operating rules will help prevent problems.
The washing machine is considered one of the most important types of equipment in every home. CMAs from the Beko company, produced in various types at reasonable prices, are popular. Like other equipment, cars from this company are not considered eternal and can also break down at the wrong time.The masters claim that the VEKO machines are equipped with not very high-quality parts, which include a management board, a temperature sensor, and a relay. The repair of such machines does not always justify itself, and the consumer is forced to purchase a new washing machine. But sometimes the problems are not too serious, it is quite possible to eliminate them on our own. So it is worthwhile to deal with typical failures and understand how the repair of Beko washing machines is carried out.
Professional repairmen of washing machines can, after observing the working equipment, name a unit or element that has failed or will soon break down and will require repair. Everything is simple - problems have begun with the washing machine, you immediately need to call a specialist and a workshop so that he can identify the cause and, with a successful combination of circumstances, carry out repairs on the spot. It seems that everything is easy and simple, and there is no headache. And such an act in some situations fully justifies itself.
But there is one caveat - a call to the master's house will cost you a tidy sum. Quite often it happens that paying for repair services is more expensive than purchasing a new automatic washing machine. It is a shame to pay money in this case, especially when there is no opportunity to quickly make a new purchase.But there is one way out - to carry out the repair with your own hands. True, you will have to correctly determine the failure, and the main signs of breakdowns will help in this:
- there is no water heating, or it heats up very much, violating the set temperature regime;
- water enters the tank for a long time, or does not drain at all;
- the door does not close tightly, which does not allow starting the washing process;
- after the process, the waste water does not go into the sewer, the machine hums strongly;
- when the drum rotates, a strong grinding, clanging and other extraneous noises are heard;
- not a single program starts, because after switching on, all the lights on the panel blink. The second option - the program can be exposed, but not activated;
- the washing machine from the start button does not turn on;
- the display shows an error code.
If you notice that the washing process takes place in cold water, violating the set program, you can suspect a breakdown of the heating element or the control board. A similar conclusion is reached when water overheats, practically reaching its boiling point. Most likely, the whole problem is in the board, but the heating element also needs to be checked.
After starting the program, water should begin to flow into the tub for washing, and the intensity of this process depends on the set program. But when you do not visually observe the water in the tank, and the drum rotates with dry things, or after a while the machine simply “freezes”, then you should look for one of the following reasons:
- there is no water in the water supply;
- clogging of the filter located at the base of the intake hose;
- the water intake valve has failed;
- breakdown of the control unit.
The BEKO machine is designed in such a way that it will never start washing until the door is closed tightly and a special sensor-blocker sends the required signal to the control board. If the hatch does not close at all, or it seems to be closed, but the wash has not started, it is necessary to inspect the blockage. It may have broken down and cannot hold the door. The second problem is the sensor itself. If it's all about the latch, try pushing lightly on the hatch and try to activate the wash program.
When the washing process is completed, the machine must drain the dirty water and draw in fresh water in order to rinse. This process is accompanied by a hum produced by the drain pump. The water is drained out quickly enough, then the machine takes in a new amount of liquid. But if some time has passed, and the washing machine has not drained the waste water and "hangs", or the pump hums, but the water does not come off, then problems should be looked for in:
- pump for draining water;
- a board responsible for managing processes;
- a blockage in the drain hose or sewer pipe.
When the washing machine emits a characteristic clang, rattle and knock during operation, it is quite possible that the bearings are out of order, or a foreign object has got into the tank, getting stuck between it and the drum. In this case, the machine should be turned off immediately and all measures should be taken to fix the problem.
The SMA may not turn on at all, or it blinks with all the lights, and turning it on again does not give a positive result. In this case, the problems may be related to:
- breakage of the starting button of the machine;
- failure of the management block;
- a break in the power cord.
The best option is when the washing machine not only refuses to work, but gives out a certain error code. With its help, you can immediately understand what the problem is.
Let's figure out how to repair Beko washing machines on our own.
You should be aware that after washing on a machine, the waste water is not clean and transparent. To prevent various small debris and dirt from clogging the pump, a special filter is installed in front of it, which in most cases becomes clogged. The main task is to find this element, which is usually located at the bottom of the machine, under a small hatch or panel.
Further actions should take place in the following sequence:
To cope with such a failure, you will have to partially disassemble the washing machine again. But first, it should be noted that in all machines, the thermoelectric heater is among the weakest units. People call it a simple word - heating element. The mineral components in the pipes under the influence of hot water begin to crystallize and accumulate on the heater with ordinary scale. Plaque does not allow heat to pass to the water, so the heating element burns out. But if the water in the pipes is soft, and scale does not appear, or you use special means, then the heating element is still able to burn out, since it has its own working resource.
In order to be sure exactly what happened to the heating element, you need to get to it. The peculiarity is that in different models it is located both in the front and in the back. For the first case, the actions are as follows:
- the front panel of the machine is removed. But first it is necessary to remove the cuff from the door. You must act carefully so as not to damage it;
- in front of you there will be two contacts with wiring connected to them, which must be disconnected;
- using a tester, you need to check the resistance. At the norm, its value will be from 25 to 30 ohms. In other cases, we can confidently assume that the heating element has failed;
- unscrew the nut from the bolt holding the heating element under the drum, carefully pull out the heating element;
- we clean the place for its installation from plaque and accumulated debris;
- we install a new analogue, we connect the wires.
If the heating device is working properly, check the temperature sensor located under the top panel.
- unscrew the screws and remove the top panel;
- the sensor is dismantled along with the detergent tray and the control panel, since all this creates obstacles in order to get to the element of interest to us;
- having opened access to the sensor, it is necessary to disconnect all wires from it;
- check the resistance. Normally, it should be 4.7 kOhm;
- the sensor must be held in a container with warm water - the resistance indicator should decrease. Otherwise, the element must be replaced;
- the new sensor is installed in place, all work is carried out in reverse order.
