Beko WI1573 not working after initially starting filling

[James Middleton]

The washing machine does not seem to work properly. It starts feeding water into the machine, but does not get very far after that. Then it remains silent for a period until it eventually states “End” on the display. It is draining fine if I restart it and try and work it again. It is not heating any water yet, nor is the drum spinning at all. The drain and spin cycle does not seem to work either. I have also tried running a short wash with an empty drum, this has not worked either. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can try to fault find, or get it working properly again? Its about 4 years old

from the manual it looks like you have a brush motor fitted to this unit

i would look at the brushes to see if they are worn first

Hi Dave, I have replaced the brushes, neither were worn right down to the end. I have just tried it again, but it still doesnt seem to be working. I had the motor out, nothing looked visibly damaged/broken/failed. The motor armature didnt appear to have any damage to it, and it all spun freely. Any ideas what I can try next? Can I test the motor or other areas with a multimeter in any way to fault find? You gave me some cracking advise on my DW last month, hoping for the same again! 😀

the motor can be tested to make sure it has continuity on all 3 circuits

you machine from the part listing seems to have a small DC module which is normally mounted in a plastic frame at the top

find this module and inpect the module for damage or bad solder joints

Thanks for the further reply Dave. I have pulled it out, one of the tracks is certainly “darker” than the others, though I was able to just rub that off. Nothing jumps out as obviously damaged or blown.

Here is a link for some images of it:

Any thoughts? Any suggestions on what I can test on the board to see if its got a fault?

that looks ok we normally get bad solder joints on the rectifier

now go to the main board and check that for track or joint damage

There is nothing that I can see, all appears to be in good condition, no obvious damage.

Some pics if you can see anything more: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GkFF7RAr3XcHGp6t6

well out of obvious ideas now
assume you have checked the motor and the wiring up to the modules
