Hi – I have a Beko BDIN26430 (integrated) dishwasher which is only a few weeks to a month old. The auto open function on the dishwasher (at the end of the cycle) worked intermittently and there was no pattern to it working or not working. Annoyingly the instructions are shared amongst lots of different models and ours does not have the engineer menu to turn on/off this feature. In fact you can just activate it straight from the the panel by enabling Self Dry with the F3 function button which is definitely on. An engineer replaced all the circuit boards and the mechanism but the issue is still there (and it actually hasn’t opened at all since). Has anyone seen similar issues? They have offered a whole new unit but this involves labour to rip out the old and replace and risk of damage to the new kitchen units. I can’t see how replacing the main body of the washer will make a difference if all the bits involved with opening the door (the mechanism and all the circuit boards) have been replaced. Thanks.

Thanks Dave,
Yeah – Ours is a totally different control panel to that. It seems ours is the odd one out model wise and going into the settings menu doesn’t give an option for the door opening element. Even the engineer commented on it and that’s why they changed the circuit boards and everything in case it was a software/firmware issue. However the new one is exactly the same and on our model you can simply enable/disable the auto door opening with one of the function buttons straight from the front of the unit. It is enabled as the open icon is lit up on the screen but to no avail. :0(
even the owners manual attached to the tech info on this machine tells you to go through the menus to turn on and off the feature
thought it may have been you were in europe somewhere ( as you posted in a european forum) and uk models were different but your ip comes up as Manchester

I know its bonkers – its one user manual for 4 different models of dishwasher and that option in the menu isn’t there on ours so you never actually see this bit with the “o:” in the menu:
“Press P / P+ key, and move to the o: position on the screen. “o: 0” position indicates that the SelfDry feature is off “o: 1” position indicates that it is on. Select the desired position with the delay key”
Can’t attach pics as they are too big but shows our buttons (different to the user guide for the model) and with F3 selected for SelfDry and with the lit up icon for the door opening feature. At a loss now as whole new unit is more cost to fit/replace but I can just see the same issue being there with the replacement if its the same model. :0(
Yes I’m in the UK – Actually North East/Teesside – Corporate proxy I think puts me in Manchester. :0)
to attach pic you have to host off site and post public links
assume as its under warranty you have beko trained engineers out so if they cant get it right no one can as they can afford to put parts in just to see

Update on this one – Nearly 3 months later and its started working! I can only assume it was maybe a stiff hinge or something on the bottom of the door following install and several months of opening and closing the door has loosened it enough for the mechanism at the top to be strong enough to pop the door open. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
