Beko Washer Dryer WDR7543121 soaking washing during drying cycle

[Niccolo]

[h=1][/h] I have a BEKO Washer Dryer WDR7543121

After a combined wash and dry cycle the clothes came out clean but soaking wet, really wet, water dripping out of them.
We have run wash and spin cycles and the machine operates as normal, with the pump clearing the water away as normal.

We have run test cycles on the 30 min drying cycle.

• The clothes were just damp to touch when put in no water dripping when squeezed.
• When the cycle was interrupted at 15 minutes the clothes were drying, they were warm and no wetter than when put in.
• When we allowed the cycle to continue or let it run interrupted there seems to be a rapid filling of water part way through the later stage of the cycle.
• At the end of the cycle the water has been pumped out but the clothes are warm and soaking wet, water dripping when lifted and could be wrung out. It is not that the clothes are still wet after the drying cycle. It is that they are much, much, much wetter than when they went in.

The lint trap was cleared of minor debris.
The condenser was cleaned, it has lint coating the sides but did not appeared blocked, water flowed through the inlet.
The 3 way valve solenoids all give the same reading of 4.39K Ohms.

Any help appreciated.

made a mistake and posted in the wrong place so it wont make any sense to you

your fault does sound a bit odd
the last time i had a similar fault i found the machine was connected to hot water instead of cold

The dryer valve water restrictor has blown out allowing far too much water into the machine during the drying cycle is one possiblity.

How Would I check that?

Thank you, there is only a cold water supply. The amount of water coming in seems to build up after about 20minutes but I can’t really tell unless I open it every minute and check. You can see drips of water on the glass and the back of the drum, in the last minute there was a small amount visible at the botom of the drum. Weirdly when the 30 minute cycle reached 8 minutes it stayed there for a bit then dropped to 4, omitting the numbers in between.

these machines take in cold water on the drying cycle to condense the water so if the pump fails or is blocked in some way then it will fill up over time

if the pump is over heating for some reason some have overheat stats that stop them working till it cools down
