How to connect a Beko washing machine

It doesn’t have to be difficult to connect a Beko washing machine to your home automation system. Whether you’re replacing an outdated unit or setting it up for the first time, there are a few simple steps you can follow to make the process go smoothly and without incident.

All the necessary steps to connect the water supply and drain hoses, as well as make sure the placement is correct, are covered in this guide. All you’ll need is some basic tools and some perseverance to get your Beko washing machine up and running quickly.

Let’s get started on ensuring that your new appliance is installed correctly so you can easily enjoy doing clean, fresh laundry.

Let"s get ready for work

You must first get all the tools ready for installation before you can start the Beko washing machine on your own. It’s not a very long list.

  • Scissors with a knife to open the packaging cardboard.
  • Wrench or pliers.
  • Screwdriver.
  • Drill, if you need to drill holes in the kitchen unit to install a built-in washing machine.
  • Building level.

Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with the safety precautions that will enable you to install household appliances safely before you begin connecting. Even though there aren’t many suggestions on the list, it’s still worth working through each one.

  • Do not start dismantling the old washing machine until you disconnect the equipment from all communications.
  • This also applies to the installation of a brand new "home assistant" – do not start working if the machine is connected to the water supply and electricity.
  • Place the unit exclusively on a flat and stable surface that can withstand a lot of weight.

Washing machines should never be placed on carpet because this will restrict airflow to the electrical components at the bottom of the machine, leading to overheating and the failure of important parts.

  • Be sure to check the household appliances after transportation for damage, as well as for the complete set.
  • Prepare a grounded outlet for the machine in advance, which will be protected by a fuse and will fully comply with the requirements specified in the official instructions for the washing machine.
  • Do not connect the "home assistant" through extension cords, and also carefully ensure that the power cord is not pinched, for example, by the washing machine itself, accidentally installed on the cord during installation.
  • If you need to use a different plug for the outlet, then a plug with a 13 A fuse must be used.
  • Never touch the plug when your hands are wet. Also, do not pull the plug out of the network by grabbing the wires, and not by the plug body itself.

As you can see, the set of guidelines is fairly straightforward, making it simple to remember and abide by.

Dismantling an old washing machine

If the washing machine was bought to replace an old model, you need to take apart the extra parts first. Recheck the power and water supplies to make sure the equipment is unplugged from the utilities. If the model in question is built-in, you must first take out the machine by unscrewing all of the furniture’s fasteners.

Remember that washing machines are very heavy, so you should move them carefully to avoid straining your back and damaging the floor or the equipment itself. Tilt the equipment back a little and place an extra carpet or towel under the legs to make moving it easier. Pulling the carpet gently in your direction, the structure can be moved rather easily in this manner.

You can disconnect the cable, inlet, and drain hoses by accessing the washing machine’s back panel after performing these easy adjustments. You’ll need a wrench or regular pliers to accomplish this.

To lower the hoses into the water supply tap, make sure to set down a large bucket or basin underneath it. This is because the water supply tap may still have waste liquid residue from previous cycles.

You must ascertain the local disposal regulations if your intention is to get rid of household appliances rather than sell them or bring them into the nation. Since it can be difficult to drag the old "home assistant" yourself, don’t forget to hire movers.

Unpacking the machine and removing the transport elements

Make sure there is enough room in the kitchen or bathroom where the new washing machine will be placed before beginning to unpack. It is preferable to unpack somewhere else if there is trouble providing ample space.

Gently open the washing machine box with a knife or pair of scissors. In order to avoid unintentionally scratching the machine’s body, try to cut the cardboard carefully. It is necessary to remove all of the foam plastic after the cardboard in order to safeguard the equipment during delivery.

The device is shielded during transit by a number of different parts. A foam block is positioned directly beneath the washing machine and is one of them. If you tilt the machine back until it stands on its hind legs, take off the adhesive tape, and then take off the protective block from the foam itself, you should be able to remove it.

Additionally, the maker always places unique fixers behind the apparatus to hold the drum in place during delivery. A wrench is required to loosen them before extracting them.

As you might need them to transport a "home assistant" in the future, it is best to keep them rather than discard them. Bolts should be replaced with the plastic plugs that come with appliances in the home.

Additionally, it is imperative to remove every sticker from the washing body because, as time goes on, the stickers become more and more adhered to their original locations, making it more challenging to remove them entirely.

After removing the equipment from its packaging, make sure it has all the replacement parts and installation-related accessories listed on the list. The manufacturer typically puts them in the drum. Official instructions, a receptacle for liquid household chemicals, a measuring cup for dishwashing powder, an inlet hose, a hose bracket, and plastic plugs intended for installation rather than transport bolts are typically on the list. If a part from the list is missing from the kit, make sure to get in touch with the home appliance store. It’s possible that the part was misplaced during transit or they forgot to add it to the warehouse.

Installation and connection of new equipment

Everything is much easier when you have to replace an old machine with a new one because you have already set aside space for the household appliances beforehand. It’s likely that if this is your first washing machine, especially if it’s built-in, you will need to drill holes for the hoses and wires. How should one proceed?

  • First, connect the inlet hose to the body, which bends 90 degrees, and then tighten it with your own hands. It is not recommended to use a wrench or pliers in this procedure, as excessive force may damage the fragile connection.
  • Now release the drain hose and power cable from the clamps provided by the manufacturer.
  • The plug body must be inserted into a special compartment located at the back of the washing machine body. Remove the plug and close the plastic cover.
  • Connect the filling hose to the body, which should also be screwed on independently without using tools.
  • At this stage, you can turn on the water in the house or apartment again.
  • Next, you need to prepare a hole for the drain. If it has already been made, then you just need to insert the end of the drain hose there. Push the hose into the drain approximately 12 centimeters to ensure that the treated liquid is drained into the sewer.
  • If such a drain has not been prepared and is not planned, then you can connect the hose to the drain under the sink. There, on the U-shaped elbow of the pipe, you can find another hole just for connecting the drain hose. If the washing machine was previously connected to the drain in this way, you will find a ready-made connection there. If this type of installation of household appliances is carried out for the first time, you will first have to purchase such a part in a hardware store, and then install it.
  • Check that the plugs with limiters are removed from the connecting part and the U-shaped elbow, and then connect the sleeve to the drain pipe. Be sure to secure the connections with a metal clamp so that the drain sleeve is securely fixed.

No matter how the drain hose is connected, the sleeve itself needs to be between 40 and 100 centimeters above the ground. This can be done by mounting the hose on a unique bracket that is set into the wall.

  • Now you can connect the equipment to the power grid by inserting the plug directly into the socket without using extension cords. The switch itself must be connected to the circuit breaker.
  • In a situation where the power cable is faulty, do not try to repair it, it is better to buy a new one, or seek help from a repairman.
  • Place the washing machine on a flat surface and make sure that the wires and hoses are not pinched by anything.
  • Be sure to align the position of the device with a building level, which can be done using adjustable feet. They are easy to adjust with your own hands or with a wrench.

The machine may damage the floors and the "home assistant" itself if it does not stand level during the spin cycle. It may even jump and change position.

After this, the installation will be finished, and all that’s left to do is run an idle working cycle to assess the equipment and the accuracy of its installation.

Step Description
1 Unpack the washing machine and remove all packaging materials.
2 Position the washing machine close to the water supply and drain connections.
3 Connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap and the machine.
4 Attach the drain hose to the drain pipe or sink.
5 Level the machine using the adjustable feet.
6 Plug the machine into a power outlet.
7 Turn on the water supply and test the machine by running a quick cycle.

This is a succinct way to wrap up the piece:

It’s easy to connect your Beko washing machine as long as you pay attention to the instructions. You can prevent frequent problems and guarantee smooth operation by making sure that all of the connections are safe and that the machine is level.

Examine each connection one more time, paying particular attention to the power and water supplies. This will assist you in averting future leaks and electrical issues.

Your Beko washing machine should work well for you if everything is configured correctly, making laundry day a little simpler and more productive.

Setting up the water supply, drain hose, and power connection are the simple steps involved in connecting a Beko washing machine. A few easy steps will help you prevent common problems like leaks and improper drainage and ensure that your washing machine is installed and operational.
