Beko WM5140W – pressure sw or module?

[MickGeorge]

hi folks

Been to this today and not quite sure what the problem is and just wondered if anyone can shed some light please.

Fault – no water and no spin.

set m/c to wash prog – pumps for about 3min and switches off.
set m/c to spin tumbles and pumps for about 4mins switches off and dosn’t unlock door – restarts pump after about 1min for about 10secs and keeps doin that till you manualy switch m/c off.

Checked obvious like no water (frozen) etc. Just wondered if m/c thought water in so checked pressure system all clear – checked pressure sw but looks like its a variable resistor type so no “click” and dificult to check resistance plus dont know what it would be anyway.

Anyone come across this before as not sure if pressure switch or module as seems a bit wierd?

Any comments welcome – thanks

Mick

This may help you.

JUMP Functional Test Program
Entrance to the test mode:
1. Turn off the machine from On/Off Button
2. Turn on the W/M from the main switch, while pressing “start/pause/cancel” button. Start icon will start to blink within 3
seconds. At the moment, you can see the code of failure in follower LEDs
3. After seeing the failure, erase the failure by pressing start/pause/cancel button 3 seconds without losing any time
4. After erasing the failure code, you will be in functional test mode. Each push to the start / pause / cancel button will
represent one function.
Functional Test Sequence:
For Softwares Before “Jump_40A_48A”
1. All LEDs on the board will start to blink after the door is locked.
2.For the softwares before 32A, 3-6-9 time delay leds will be on in different combinations , related to the spin
potantiometer position.( For max spin 3-9 leds will be on , for no spin no led will be on)
For 32A and following softwares , 1 and 2 auxilary function leds will be on in 4 different combinations, related to the
spin potantiometer position.
3. Take in water from pre-wash compartment
4. Take in water from main wash compartment
5. Take in water from softener compartment (Both PW and MW valves are active)
6. Take in water from main wash compartment if the W/M has a hot valve option (If not this step will be skipped)
7. The heater will be ON. If the water level inside the tub is not enough for the heater to switch on then all valves will be
turn on to fill the level.
8. Clockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm
9. Counterclockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm
10. Draining and after draining is finished spinning up to maximum speed.
11. Turn on all the valves to fill a certain level in a short time for water leakage test on the production line.
12. End
13. You can get off the test mode by turning the WM off.
For Softwares After “Jump_40A_48A” (Also for all machines with “Compact” oscillating system)
1. All LEDs on the board will start to blink after the door is locked.
2. First and Second auxilary function leds will be on in 4 different combinations, related to the spin potantiometer
position.
3. Clockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm
4. Counterclockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm
5. Spinning up to maximum speed.
6. Take in water from pre-wash compartment
7. Take in water from main wash compartment
8. Take in water from softener compartment (Both PW and MW valves are active)
9. Take in water from main wash compartment if the W/M has a hot valve option (If not this step will be skipped)
10. The heater will be ON while there is Clockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm. If the water level inside the tub is not
enough for the heater to switch on then all valves will be turn on to fill the level.
11. Draining
12. End
13. You can get off the test mode by turning the WM off.

THE ERROR CODES WHICH CAN BE OBSERVED AT FUNCTIONAL TEST AND FAILURE
CODE OBSERVING MODES
H1 : NTC OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT ( 100 )
H2 : HEATER OPEN CIRCUIT ( 010 )
H3 : HEATER ALWAYS ON ( 110 )
H4 : VALVE TRIAC SHORT CIRCUIT ( 001 )
H5 : PUMP OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT ( 101 )
H6 : MOTOR TRIAC SHORT CIRCUIT ( 011 )
H7 : WATER LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE ( 111 )
PS : THE ERROR CODES GIVEN ABOVE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN REASON FOR THE
FAILURE IS THE DEFINED COMPONENT
ALWAYS CHECK THE CONNECTORS AND WIRING FIRST TO SEE IF THE CAUSE OF
THE FAILURE IS A DISCONNECTION OR SOMETHING SIMILAR.
FAILURE CODE OBSERVING MODE
Entrance:
Press the first auxiliary function button from the left for 6 seconds. “Run/
Pause/Cancel” led will start blinking and the program followers will start
blinking as an error code for 3 seconds if any failure routine has run.
After 3 seconds, the machine will return to the selection mode.
Deletion of the error code:
After entering the failure code observing mode, pressing and holding “Run/
Pause/Cancel” button for a short time will erase the error code from the
memory. After you complete your inspection, if you are not sure that you
have solved the problem and if you are going to change the electronic card
group, do not erase the error code. For else cases, you may erase the error
code.

Good luck.

Had one like that. Wasted an hour and an extra visit trying a p/sw and doing the diagnostics which didn’t show anything. In the end got the new board which was only £25 trade/£45 retail (was a WMA510W or some such) and that sorted it. No sign of any damage to original board, nor any problem with other components. You can’t fault Beko on their parts prices at least. Cheap machines but cheap parts. Rather that than any Indesit product.
Had similar situation with Beko dishwasher too.

Been back today and changed modue – all working fine now so thanks for the replies guys

Panic was just setting in as it stopped and just pumped out for what seemed like a minute before it moved off and started to fill – sigh of relief as thought it was still stuck on pump out.

Test proceedure all printed out and in my fault code bible now. 🙂

Again many thanks guys
