Beko washing machine error codes

Washing machines equipped with a self-diagnostic system immediately notify the user of any malfunctions in the normal operation of parts, components, or assemblies. Washing machines equipped with a display will display alphanumeric error codes. Washing machines without a display will alert you to problems with illuminated lights on the control panel. Let's explore the various error codes in Beko washing machines and what they mean.

Meaning of indication

If your Beko washing machine is equipped with a user-friendly display, deciphering error codes shouldn't be a problem. By seeing the combination of letters and numbers on the display, it's easy to determine what's wrong.

Things are a bit more complicated with machines that lack a digital display. Lights on the washing machine's control panel usually indicate which cycle the machine is currently in. During normal operation, the indicators show whether the machine is performing the main wash, rinse, soak, or spin cycle. However, LEDs can also perform another function – to signal the user about a breakdown in the system.Let's look at which washing machine error codes are programmed into the self-diagnostic system database and how each error is displayed on Beko models without a display.

Self-diagnostic system base

It often happens that the washing machine's operating instructions have long been lost, and a malfunction needs to be resolved as quickly as possible. Below is a list of the most common errors found in the washing machine's database. For your convenience, we've provided not only the alphanumeric designations but also the indicator sequences.

• H1 – indicates a faulty temperature sensor. The contact to the thermostat may have been interrupted. Check the thermistor's resistance using a multimeter; the normal value should be 4700 ohms at an ambient temperature of 25°C. If the sensor is found to be faulty, install a new one.
• H2 – indicates a faulty heating element. To fix the problem, carefully inspect the heating element contacts. If they are OK, replace the heating element.
• H3 — indicates that the heating element is constantly on, indicating that the water in the drum is overheating. The temperature sensor should be checked with a multimeter, measuring the resistance of the element. If the thermistor is working properly, there may be a fault on the main control board.

! To repair or replace the control board, it is better to invite a repairman.

• H4 — indicates a shorted inlet valve thyristor. Diagnosing the element's contacts can help troubleshoot the problem. If the wiring is not damaged, the main control board of the machine may need to be repaired or replaced.
• H5 — indicates a pump malfunction. In most cases, this is due to weak suction power. To fix the problem, clean the drain filter, eliminate kinks or defects in the drain hose, and remove debris from the hose. If this doesn't help, install a new pump.
• H6 — indicates a short circuit in the washing machine's motor triac. However, this error can also occur due to a faulty triac, a broken motor wiring, or a defective control board. If an open circuit is detected in the motor, the electric motor will need to be replaced.
• H7 — indicates a pressure switch failure. The system detected a malfunction in the water level sensor. There may be several reasons: defective contacts leading from the pressure switch to the main control module, failure of the level sensor itself, or a breakdown of the control board. It is possible that the error is displayed due to a malfunction of the mechanical UBL lock.
• H11 – indicates a break in the vehicle's engine circuit. Inspect the contacts leading to the engine, check the wires connected to the tachogenerator, and examine the integrity of the wiring from the electronic controller to the engine. If the contacts are intact, check the motor and tachogenerator.

Knowing which system component has failed makes it easy to repair it yourself. Understanding the symbols for various malfunctions makes it easy to understand what steps to take to restore your washing machine to its previous working order.
