Beko WMA 520 W relay constantly ticking

[Bartkelly]

I have just tried to use a Beko WMA520W which has been standing for a couple of years, Initially it blew the breaker, which I diagnosed as the emi filter. This has now been replaced, but when turned on, a relay on the main circuit board ticks rapidly all the time, and apart from the door interlock working, nothing else happens. Any advice, please?

I do not know the answer to your question! As taken from a parts list for your model. Best to check the motor brushes and if completely worn out replace them. Your best bet is to remove the motor and check BOTH as sometimes 1 will just stick in its holder and if you check 1 that`ll, of course, will be the ok one. Next point of call is / actually best check both / the main pcb in the instrument panel which, if the suppressor was a duffy, could well have blown something. The small square PCB that hangs on the r/h/side of the chassis are apt to blow up too. Might be quicker to go for a looksee there first as it is easier to get at, then the motor, then the main pcb. If the little board has blown its tracks your in no mans land: could only have been the suppessor but could be a motor fault, main pcb taken out too = scrap it because just changing the small blown board it`s likely to go bang as soon as you switch the thing on; that happened to me once!!!

Thanks for that. I’ll poke around further & see what I can find.
