Your Beko washing machine speaking in code? Don’t panic. These Turkish-made appliances are brilliant at telling you exactly what’s wrong – you just need to know how to translate their electronic messages.
Beko uses a straightforward numbering system from E1 to E18. Once you’ve sorted the problem, hold down the start button to clear the error code. But here’s the thing: some fixes need professional hands, and there’s no shame in calling for backup.
Errors you can probably handle:
- E17 (too much foam)
- E18 (unbalanced load)
Call a technician for:
- Anything involving motors, heaters, or control boards
- Water valve issues
- Door lock problems you can’t see
Ready to decode your machine’s messages?
E1: Temperature Sensor Problems
Your machine’s thermistor has gone wonky. This little sensor should read 4700 ohms at 25°C. Check the wiring connections, but if you’re not comfortable with electrical testing, call a professional.
E2: Heater Wiring Issues
Something’s wrong with your heater’s electrical connections. You might spot obvious loose wires, but heating element repairs need expert attention for safety reasons.
E3: Heater Stuck On
Your heater won’t switch off, creating constant heat. This points to a faulty control board relay – definitely a job for qualified technicians.
E4: Water Won’t Fill
Your machine refuses to fill with water. Start simple: check your door closes properly and isn’t jamming. If that’s fine, you’re looking at water valve or wiring problems that need professional diagnosis.
E5: Drainage Drama
Water’s not leaving your machine. Begin with the obvious: clean your pump filter. Still blocked? The drainage system or control board needs expert attention.
E6: Motor Mayhem
Your machine jumps around like a kangaroo during wash cycles. Motor problems create multiple symptoms and require specialist knowledge to fix safely.
E7: Water Level Sensor Failure
Your machine empties itself every time you start it, or won’t start at all. The level sensor needs professional testing and likely replacement.
E8: Multiple Water Fill Issues
Another water-filling problem, but this code covers several potential causes. Professional diagnosis prevents you wasting time on guesswork.
E9: Door Lock Problems
Your door lock isn’t working properly. Check the door closes fully and nothing’s blocking it. If the door seems fine, the locking mechanism itself needs expert repair.
E10: Door Jam Detection
Your machine thinks the door’s jammed. Look for obvious obstructions, but internal jamming mechanisms need professional assessment.
E11: Motor Control Issues
Different from E6, this relates to motor control rather than mechanical problems. Motor electronics require specialist knowledge to repair safely.
E17: Foam Overload (You Can Fix This!)
Too much foam in your machine – usually from cheap detergent or overloading. Here’s what to do:
- Stop the cycle immediately
- Remove excess foam manually
- Run several rinse cycles to clear remaining bubbles
- Use less detergent next time
- Don’t overload your machine
E18: Unbalanced Load (Easy Fix!)
Your washing’s all bunched up on one side, stopping the spin cycle. Simple solution:
- Stop the machine
- Redistribute clothes evenly around the drum
- Remove some items if you’ve overloaded it
- Restart the cycle
Pro tip: Mix large and small items together for better balance.
Don’t risk your safety or your machine’s warranty. Call professionals for:
- Electrical component testing
- Motor repairs
- Heating element work
- Water valve replacement
- Control board issues
