BEKO washing machine malfunctions: repair tips

Most users of washing machines noted the reliability of their home units, which were made 10-15 years ago. But even for those washing machines with their good quality of parts and assembly, the service life is not infinite, and sometime these washing machines still break down. Repair of a washing machine BEKO, Indesit, Ariston and other devices of other manufacturing companies no longer always justifies itself and you need to buy a new washing device.

But sometimes the problem is not as serious as we might have imagined, and you can fix it yourself, so you can extend the life of your beloved assistant. For this reason, today we will consider typical breakdowns and action algorithms for home repair of BEKO washing machines.

Symptoms of malfunctions of washing devices of this brand

It might seem that if there are certain problems with the washing machine, then you should immediately call the master at home, and he will deal with the causes of breakdown and discomfort in working with the device.All this is easy, fast and without unnecessary hassle, therefore, in most cases, such a course of action by the owner of a broken washing machine is quite appropriate and justified.

But nothing happens without a fly in the ointment: calling a master to your house costs a lot of money, which sometimes is simply not in stock or in large quantities.

It often happens that repairing a VEKO washing machine is more expensive than a brand new washing machine of the same model. It's a shame to pay so much money to fix an old washing machine, especially if you can't afford to buy a new washing machine just yet.

The only sure and not so expensive way out is to fix the breakdown with your own hands. But for a quality repair, you must first correctly put "diagnosis”, i.e. find the true cause of the breakdown, and only then begin to “treat” something.

The following "symptoms" of a malfunction of VEKO washing machines will help you find a solution to the problem.

• The water is not heated, and washing is done in cold water, or, on the contrary, washing takes place in very hot water, which does not correspond to the temperature to which it should have been heated.
• Water is drawn into the washing tank for a very long time, or the water supply is completely blocked and does not work.
• The hatch cannot be completely closed, which is why the wash simply cannot start.
• At the end of the wash, the water simply does not drain, and this process may be accompanied by a fairly strong hum.
• Drum BEKO washing machine emits a loud rattle, clang and other extraneous sounds during rotation.
• Can't start any program
  irki, because after turning on the washing machine immediately starts blinking all the indicator lights.It also happens that the program is exhibited, but simply does not start.
• typewriter does not respond to button activationalthough the plug is plugged in and there is no power failure.
• VEKO machines with a display give an error code and simply “refuse” to work.

We advise you to pay attention! There can be many more symptoms of malfunctions, but the most common cases of breakdowns are described above.

Typical causes of eyelid breakdowns and their individuality in elimination

As we have already noted above, malfunctions of washing units can easily be given out by their external symptoms with incorrect operation or complete failure. But how can these breakdowns be correctly associated with certain breakdowns? Here, some knowledge and advice from leading experts will already be needed, which we will gladly present in this article.

If you notice that washing is done in cold water instead of the set 40

or 60 degrees - this indicates breakdown of the water heating element (heater), or control boards.

This conclusion can be reached if you set the washing temperature to 30 degrees Celsius, and the machine stubbornly brings it to a boil, thereby mercilessly spoiling your things from delicate fabrics. In this case, the case with a board malfunction is more likely than with a heating element, but just in case, check both.

When you start some program, the washing machine should begin to fill its tank with water. All this will happen with different intensity, which directly depends on the washing mode you have chosen. To take a look at the process gulf of water, look into the tank window.But if you notice that after twenty or thirty minutes, the washing machine may freeze and stop the program, giving some kind of error code. This development of events is characterized four different reasons:

• The lack of water in the water supply is easy to check if you just go into the bathroom and try to turn on the faucet.
• Clogged water filter, which is located at the base of the inlet hose (if you have one, of course).
• Fill valve failure.
• Malfunction of the element of the control unit.

When sunroof lock problems you need to carefully press this hatch with your knee and turn on the desired washing program again, because there is a chance that the fixing hook simply does not reach the end of the desired part and the fixation does not have time to occur.

After the washing program is completed, the washing device should itself begin to wash off the soapy water and pour fresh water for rinsing. This process is usually accompanied by the hum of the drain pump.

The drain goes pretty quickly, after which the washing machine starts to collect clean and fresh water again. If the washing machine cannot drain the water in any way, and then it just stops and freezes, orand she tries to drain the water, the pump starts to buzz harder, but the drain does not start, then the problem is as follows:

1. AT pomp.
2. In blockages in the sewer or drain hose.
3. in the management board.

If the washing machine is very noisy, and the drum rotates with a terrible rattle, clang and knock, then it is possible in the VEKO washing machine broken bearings or a standard body of foreign origin made of metal got into the tank, got stuck between the walls and the wall began to wedge. This kind of breakdown must be immediately eliminated by first turning off the washing machine.

Another washing machine can completely not turn on completely or indicator lights will start flashing, and if this happens over and over again, and rebooting again doesn't help, then it's a sign that it might at the moment:

• Break the on / off button of your washing device.
• Break down the power supply.
• Break the network wire.

Is it possible to fix everything with your own hands?

In theory, all BEKO automatic washing machines can be repaired no matter what their load is and whether they have a control panel.

But in practice, other problems may appear that you are unlikely to be able to deal with, or the repair will be too expensive, or there are no necessary spare parts. In any case, if we have already discovered a breakdown and want to fix it on one's own, and you should not take into account all the factors, because of which he later realizes that he only lost money and time for nothing. As they say, "the miser pays twice."

If a washing machine bearing is being replaced, it may take an experienced craftsman several hours, so we advise you to record the time and compare how much the master did and how much you could.

Experts relentlessly recommend doing only minor repairs, which are associated with the replacement of elements, or with the removal of blockages. The rest should be left for the experienced hands of the master, because if you spoil something yourself, it will come out even more expensive for you. In the workshops, after repair, they give a small guarantee. So, what can be eliminated in the VEKO washing machine with your own hands?

• Clean the drain filter, removing dirt, debris and other things that cause inconvenience in the operation of washing machines.
• Replace the drain pump, but only when you are sure that the old pump is already completely out of order.
• Change intake valve. In order to get started, first make sure that the problem is not in the board at all.
• Replace heater.

In VEKO washing machines, the heating element often deteriorates, especially if these are still domestic models with a load of six kilograms. Do-it-yourself replacement is not difficult at all, because the main thing is that all actions are carried out according to the recommendations of specialists.

1. The heater in the VEKO washing machines is located at the back of the tank, so first remove the back panel, after unscrewing a few bolts.
2. After removing the wall, we will see a pulley (a decent-sized round wheel), just below which the heating element is located.
3. We take out the desired key and unscrew the fasteners, disconnecting the wires from the contacts.
4. We make an effort, but still carefully pull the heating element out of the groove.
5. We buy the same part to replace.
6. We insert the heating element and do not forget to fasten it.
7. We connect the wires back, fasten the back wall back and check the result of our painstaking work.

To invite specialist it is often expensive, so do it only, and in the case when you yourself did not work out normally or the breakdown is very serious. In all other cases, you can save money and fix everything with your own hands.
