It can be annoying if your Beko dishwasher isn’t filling with water, particularly if you depend on it to clean your dirty dishes. The good news is that a dishwasher that won’t fill is a frequent problem that many people deal with, and it’s usually easy to fix.
This could be occurring for a number of reasons, such as a kinked water hose or an issue with the water inlet valve. Recognizing the possible reasons will enable you to locate the problem and restart your dishwasher.
This post will discuss some of the most typical causes of your Beko dishwasher not filling with water and offer simple solutions to assist you in troubleshooting and fixing the issue.
The machine does not close well
Not only is the first explanation the most prevalent, but it can be ruled out the simplest. We are discussing an instance in which the dishwasher door is not closed properly. If the seal is knocked down, for instance, the opening may have been blocked, or there may be an issue with the door lock. In such a case, the process is as follows:
- disconnect the "home assistant" from the power supply;
- open the door and fix it in this position;
- carefully examine both the serviceability of the lock and the presence of unnecessary objects stuck in the door opening;
- extra objects from the opening must be removed, and if the problem is in the lock, replace it. With the second option, you should unscrew the two fixing screws, remove the damaged element, install a new lock and fix it;
If you purchase a new lock without first taking out the old one to use as a model, you run the risk of purchasing the incorrect part.
- final stage – test wash. Start any working cycle and check that water begins to fill;
Another repair is necessary if the device remains defective despite all of the manipulations that have been done.
The leak protection has worked
Aquastop is a technology designed to prevent leaks in household appliances. Since it is installed on the majority of contemporary devices, there is a good chance that the issue is directly related to it. The device appears as two "gateways"; the first allows liquid to enter the dishwasher and the second directs it toward the dishwashing cycle. There are various systems that differ from one another structurally.
- Mechanical, when the operation of the gates is affected by a spring, which, in turn, depends on the water pressure.
- Absorbent, that is, a special material is hidden in the device, which after water gets in, increases in size and blocks the liquid.
- Electromechanical, where a float is responsible for stopping the water, which only floats up when the water level in the dishwasher rises.
It is not necessary to select one aquastop device over the other two because all three types function flawlessly. However, the replacement or repair process will vary for each of the three.
- First, determine which version is installed in your equipment. You can find out this in the device passport, official instructions, or look it up on the Internet.
- If you have a mechanical system, return the spring to its original position, for which you need to turn the latches.
- When an absorbent aquastop is installed, you just need to wait until it dries.
- The electromechanical element will have to be removed and replaced. To do this, you must first disconnect the equipment from the electricity and turn off the water, then unscrew the old hose and disconnect the plug, install a new one and check the functionality of the washer.
Essentially, Beko equipment has the third type of aquastop installed, so purchasing and replacing a new one will cost money. Although it’s an expensive repair, it’s not too hard to do, especially if you replace it yourself.
There could be a number of easy fixes for your Beko dishwasher not filling with water, including a kinked hose, a blocked water inlet, or even a broken door latch. You may avoid needless service calls and save time by being aware of these typical issues and knowing how to solve them.
The inlet filter element is clogged
The poor quality of tap water is linked to another frequent issue. Many Russian regions have water that is too hard by itself, and rusty, long-unrenewed pipes allow liquid to enter homes along with various waste materials.
Because of this, producers of home appliances employ specialized filters to remove mechanical impurities from water that have the potential to harm intricate machinery. The filter can be clogged if the water flow has completely stopped or if there is less liquid present along with an odd humming sound.
In this situation, what should I do?
- Disconnect the dishwasher from the water supply.
- Remove the filter, which is located on the hose where the water enters the device. The filter looks like a small mesh inside the hose.
- Rinse the mesh thoroughly with running water until the dirt and debris disappear.
- Reinstall the mesh in its place in the hose, and screw the hose to the device.
- Carefully check that the connection is tight and that water does not leak.
- Run a test wash to check that the problem with the water supply has been solved.
As you can see, even a child can perform the filter cleaning process because it is quick and does not call for any specialized knowledge or abilities. Simultaneously, you should not disregard this simple task because the filter element needs to be cleaned on a regular basis if the water in your supply is hard.
Broken inlet valve
Although it is not always easy to diagnose, if you have a multimeter at home, it is quite possible that the inlet valve is broken. It is usually not possible to repair a damaged valve; therefore, a replacement must be performed. How can I do it correctly?
- Disconnect the machine from water and electricity.
- Unscrew all the screws holding the outer door panel, and then remove it.
- Disconnect the wires and remove the control panel.
- Then you need to disconnect the lower access panel together with the shock panel, having previously removed the holding screws from them.
- Now you need to unscrew the water supply line from the inlet valve, for which you will have to use a wrench.
- Using pliers, remove the fastening clamp from the valve, disconnect the wires, and then remove the damaged valve itself.
To ensure that you always have a reference of the proper connection on hand, it is best to take a picture of the valve as it should be installed in the equipment before disconnecting it.
- Having received a sample of the part in your hands, you can go for a replacement.
- The element is installed in the equipment according to the instructions in the reverse order.
Following each step, a test work cycle verifies that the home appliance is operational.
| Possible Cause | What to Do |
| Water supply not turned on | Make sure the water supply valve is fully open. |
| Clogged water inlet filter | Check and clean the filter in the water inlet hose. |
| Faulty door latch | Ensure the door is closed properly and the latch is working. |
| Blocked water hose | Inspect the hose for kinks or blockages. |
| Defective water inlet valve | If all else fails, the inlet valve may need to be replaced. |
If the water in your Beko dishwasher isn’t filling, there are a few common problems that you can probably fix on your own.
Verify that the water supply is on and that the hose is not kinked. Another possibility is that the inlet valve is broken, which would keep water out of the machine.
Should the issue continue, there’s a chance that the float switch is stuck or broken, which would prevent the dishwasher from filling. Replacing or cleaning this component might fix the problem.
If these solutions don’t work, it might be time to get in touch with an expert for a more thorough diagnosis and repair.
