Fault codes in modern washing machines serve to inform the user in time about the first signs of problems in the systems. The Beko washing machine is no exception. The manufacturer made sure that the breakdown was detected in time.
Therefore, if the machine shows error codes on the display, your task is to figure out the reasons for their appearance. If the user manual has been lost without a trace, this useful article will come to the rescue, in which we will tell you what the code means, what to do when the CM gives an error and how to troubleshoot.
Table of errors in Beko washing machines: decoding and repair tips
To determine the breakdown by the bulbs in the model without a display, remember: they should be lit, not blinking. Marked in red on the diagram.
| Malfunction code | As displayed on CM Beko with 5 lamps | transcript | Causes | How to fix the error |
| H1 | H1 indicates temperature sensor error. | The sensor contacts are oxidized or burnt out. |
| |
| H2 | Error H2 indicates a breakdown of the tubular electric heater of the heating element). Main symptom: Beko washing machine does not draw water. | The heating element was covered with scale, stopped giving off heat, which caused a short circuit, and the heater burned out. | Disassemble the body of the machine, get to the shank of the heating element, measure the resistance using a tester. A good heater will show 20-40 ohms. The heater needs to be replaced. | |
| The heating element shorted to the body of the washing machine due to a power surge. | Check the heating element for a breakdown on the body by turning on the buzzer mode on the tester. If there is no breakdown, the tester is silent, if there is a breakdown on the case, the multimeter will make a characteristic sound. TENA needs to be replaced. | |||
The wiring to the heater is broken. | Inspect wiring, isolate or replace damaged areas. | |||
| The control module has failed. | Reprogram, repair or replace the electronic module.
| |||
| H3 | Code H3 is evidence that the heating element is constantly working, which is why the washing machine overheats the water. | Breakdown of the thermistor (temperature sensor). | To reset errors, it is necessary to measure the resistance of the thermistor. A defective sensor must be replaced. | |
| Malfunction of the control unit SM. | Check if the controller is working. Repair or replace the unit. | |||
| H4 | If H4 is lit on the display, this indicates the filling valve triac is closed. | The wiring is broken or the sensor contacts are broken (oxidized, burned out). | Check contacts and wiring. Isolate, replace or resolder suspicious areas. | |
| Board defect. | Repair or replace the part. | |||
| H5 | H5 on the scoreboard: the drain pump (pump) has failed. | Drain filter clogged. | The solution to the problem is to clean the filter. It is located at the bottom of the anterior wall of the SM.
| |
| Bent or broken drain hose. | Position the hose correctly or replace with a new one. | |||
| Clogged water drain hose. | Clean and rinse the drain hose. | |||
| Pump failure. | Repair or replace the pump (pump). | |||
| H6 | Error H6 appears when the motor triac closes. | Short circuit triac. | In this case, only replacing the element will help. | |
| Violation of the integrity of the wiring. | Review, call and repair the wiring. | |||
| Defective control module. | Repair or replace the unit. | |||
| Open circuit of the electric motor. | Replace engine. | |||
| H7 | If the water pressure (level) sensor – the pressure switch – fails, error H7 is on. | Breakage of the door latch (locking device). | You need to install a new UBL.
| |
| Pressure switch failure. | Sensor replacement. | |||
| Broken wiring in the circuit: pressure switch-controller. | Check contacts, repair broken wiring sections. | |||
| Module failure. | Repair or replace. | |||
| H11 | The H11 code is not typical for all Beko SMA models. Indicates an open circuit in the electric motor. | Motor wiring broken. | Check wiring, replace defective sections. | |
| Destroyed wiring to the tachogenerator. | ||||
| A break in the wiring between the motor and the controller. | ||||
| Engine breakdown. | Replace defective parts. | |||
| Breakdown of the tachogenerator. |
Now you know what each error on the display of your Beko washing machine means. You know what to do if they appear.
You can also check if a particular value is displayed by mistake. In order to remove the error, restart the SM by disconnecting it from the network for 15-20 minutes.
