It can be annoying if your Beko washing machine stops working all of a sudden, especially if you have loads of laundry. This problem could have a number of causes, from straightforward electrical issues to internal organ failures. Knowing the potential causes enables you to promptly diagnose the issue and determine whether you require expert assistance or can handle it yourself.
Power supply problems, such as a tripped circuit breaker or a loose plug, are frequently to blame. The machine’s door may occasionally not close all the way, which can cause an issue that keeps it from starting. Furthermore, a broken power button or issues with the control board may also be at fault.
We’ll walk you through the process of troubleshooting your Beko washing machine in this article, hopefully leading to a solution. You’ll learn useful advice to restart your machine, from basic maintenance to a more thorough examination.
| Possible Cause | Solution |
| Power issue | Check if the power cord is properly plugged in and if the socket is functioning. |
| Faulty power button | Ensure the power button is not stuck or damaged. |
| Door not closed | Make sure the door is fully closed and locked. |
| Blown fuse or tripped breaker | Inspect the fuse box and replace any blown fuses or reset the breaker. |
| Control panel malfunction | Try resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes, then plugging it back in. |

What causes the behavior of the machine?
Even a person with little experience fixing washing machines can understand that a lost connection to the power grid is indicated by non-illuminating panel lights. The washer won’t "wake up" and won’t operate without current. It makes sense that you should examine the electronics and wiring since the contact may have been lost either outside or inside the machine.
It is preferable to begin your investigation for the root cause with the easiest and most common:
- there are problems with the power supply in the room;
- the outlet to which Beko is connected is de-energized or faulty;
- the power cord is damaged (the wire or plug is burnt out).
However, electrical issues aren’t always immediately apparent. There are also less obvious malfunctions:
- the interference filter (FPS) is knocked out;
- the "Start" button on the dashboard is stuck or burnt out;
- the control board is broken.
When a Beko washing machine is connected to the power grid and does not operate, the machine is disconnected from the power source.
There is a very basic algorithm that determines what to do. All potential "pain points" must be routinely examined in order to identify the failure’s issue. We assess the condition of nutrient communications first, then we examine the machine’s interior, and finally we examine Becco’s dashboard.
A broken control board or door lock are examples of more complicated issues that could be causing your Beko washing machine to not turn on, but they can also be as simple as a loose power cord or blown fuse. Basic troubleshooting involves making sure the power supply is operational, but more in-depth examination of important parts may be necessary. You can decide whether a professional repair is required or if a quick fix will suffice by being aware of these possible causes.
Check the power lines
The power grid should be checked first if the washing machine won’t start. Experience has shown that the issue is typically external to the equipment rather than with it. Thus, turn on the light in the room first—it’spossiblethat none is on in the house.
Next, check the machines and plugs at the meter. It’s possible that the washing machine caused an overvoltage of the "branch," tripped the RCD, and the power was automatically turned off, or that the network is damaged. There isn’t a problem here; you just need to change the wiring’s load.
Next, assess the outlet’s performance. Burnt contacts can be identified by smoke, melted plastic, or a burning smell. Connect any functional device to the electrical outlet if there isn’t any obvious damage. Is everything alright? Therefore, the issue is not with you.
The first indications of a short circuit are smoke, a burning smell, dark areas, melted plastic, or seclusion.
Once the issue or fire has been resolved, it must be extinguished as quickly as possible. However, it is strictly prohibited to handle an electrical issue without prior experience; instead, it is safer and more dependable to call in a qualified electrician. Either way, it is preferable to de-energize the apartment and avoid using electricity until the issue has been resolved.
Electric communications of the machine
If all the external nutrients are in order, the failure occurred within the machine. Typically, the primary "culprits" are the network cord’s fork and wire, with the hindrance filter coming in third. In any event, all three components are examined collectively because they are inseparable on Becco models.
- turn off the machine from all communications, including from the drain;
- We move the unit from the wall, providing access to the rear wall;
- We unscrew the bolts holding the top cover;
- We find a network capacitor located in the lower corner on the left;
- loosen the fastening that fixes the power cord;
- pull out the interference filter together with the cord and plug.
Each component is examined independently. The plug is examined first. An obvious sign of a fire is the presence of melted plastic or dark patches on the insulation. After that, a multimeter is used to "ring" the cord to test it for breakdown. It is forbidden to use the wire further if the device records a current leak; a replacement is required. Since experts advise against using electrical tape or twisting to repair a damaged core, local repair is not an option in this instance. If not, there’s a good chance of frequent breaks, short circuits, and fires.
Make sure the multimeter is operational before using it by closing the probes and setting the resistance mode; "0" should appear on the display.
The FPS is the next in line. When the multimeter is connected to the filter contacts in the ringing mode and the reading is positive, the resistance is also measured. It will be evident that the capacitor has burned out and needs to be replaced when it displays "0" or "1."
When your Beko washing machine won’t turn on, it’s typically an indication of a small problem that is fixable. Examine the outlet, plug, and power source first. These are the essentials. A simple culprit can occasionally be a tripped breaker or a malfunctioning socket.
Beyond the obvious, problems like a broken control panel, a malfunctioning power button, or a faulty door lock could be the cause. After you’ve exhausted the easier solutions, these parts may require more thorough examination or expert repair.
These issues can be kept from getting worse by performing routine maintenance and keeping an eye out for minor wear indicators. To keep your appliance in good working order, calling a technician is usually the best course of action if DIY troubleshooting doesn’t work.
