Beko no heat.

A friend has a Beko WMA1512 that is not heating the water, how can I tell if its the heater or thermostat that’s at fault?

Beko no heat.

Unplug from the mains then use a test meter direct onto the suspect components.

Thanks, I take it I will get a resistance from a good part and open circuit from a failed component.

I am also getting conflicting info from different web sites as to part number. Some are saying 2863701600 others say 2863401000 they both look the same to me and I cant find a number on the original part.

Components don’t have part numbers stamped on them. What “part” do you refer to anyway?

Re: Beko no heat.

the heater element. According to the some sites the number is 2863701600 but according to other sites the WMA1512 dose’nt use this one, it needs 2863401000. So I’m a bit confused.

I should say you’re confused…..the heater is 2703371000 and available here on this website….Go for it! 😀

Re: Beko no heat.

Thanks, I have another question. I have today checked the heater and thermostat with an ohm meter and obtained the following results. With the meter set at 20k ohms the heater reads 0.02 the thermostat 6.99, however there is no voltage at all being supplied to the heater, so is it something else? 😳

Re: Beko no heat.

Yup. 😉

Could be….

A wiring fault, possibly a break
A pressure switch fault
The heater contacts on the timer

Any of which requires a bit of digging on your part to narrow it down I’m afraid. the good news is that’s a very basic machine so it shouldn’t take too much to figure it out.

Does it advance through the programs though as, it should stop at the heating phase if there’s a problem there?

Main circuit board bu$$ered by the sound of it then! Is there a skip anywhere near you?

Re: Beko no heat.

It goes through all the programs just fine?

What would you suggest?

[kwatt]

Re: Beko no heat.

Checking. 😉

It’s the only way but, those cheap range Beko’s are known for module/timer issues. If it is, I’m with Martin on it.

Re: Beko no heat.

OK I’m fine checking wiring and program terminals but how do I check pressure switch?

[kwatt]

Re: Beko no heat.

Continuity across the terminals while you’ve got pressure on it.
