    no. but do you have a specific problem?
    there are a couple of common faults that i get all the time.

    Not sure as I’ve not gone to it yet.
    I was with this customer in Jan and it I remember right, it was showing symptoms of having had the flood protection activated however there was littl evidence of a leak. I managed to find a reset procedure online and after several attempts I got it to reset and it’s worked since.
    Now he tells me that it’s been ‘acting weird’ for a while and now it’s just beeping when it’s turned. Dont know how many beeps so not sure what the code is.
    I was hoping to try and put it into dignistixs mode and maybe read an alarm or do a self test as last time I just repeatedly tried a reset til it worked! Not ideal now that I’m going back. Is there common faults on these?
    I think i remember finding stuff before but I don’t seem to have the hang of using the new search function as well is I used to.

    Any help/pointers would be great

    Cheers kieth

    you will see posts about faults with the dispenser solenoid. they can cause spurious symptoms so as a last resort you could meter it and see what it reads. it IS possible to fit a robbed wm solenoid coil if you use a bit of ingenuity.
    however by far the most common problem i’ve had with these is that it leaks during fill. if you remove the right side panel you’ll see the air break unit located to the sump. if you run it with the side panel off, look for a leak at the o rings. if it is leaking then remove the unit and the o rings. i simply “build up the diameter of the tube with ptfe tape and then refit the o ring which will now have a tighter fit. a bit of sealant would be good as well.

    the other common faults are a build up of gunge in the passage from that unit to the sump.

    a small item intermittently jamming the drain pump.

    a new 6mf capacitor for the spray pump

    and finally the dreaded pulsing action which is the main board £140.00. another poster has had success in repairing the board.
    i have fixed one and failed three times.

    if it is the board i usually sell them a brand new beko for around £240 fitted.

    anyone else please feel free to add to this list.

    Just actually arrived here and I’m reading your post. It just has two beeps and a gap, constantly, and will do nothing. it apparently went like this when he had a power out in the house due to his iron tripping the cb.
    At the moment I can’t get it to reset and it’s bone dry in the base.
    I’ll keep playing with it.

    I assume this means the safety pressure switch? (fault code guide)

    Managed eventually to reset it and put it on a wash, not 1 minute in it does that dreaded pulsing action.
    Time for the bin me thinks,

    Cheers for the help

    I didn’t to be honest, I thought the dreaded pulsing action was definitive.
    He’s away for a couple of days though and I have a key so I’ll give it a go before a final call,

    Cheers
