E18 Error Code. Can’t use machine – ‘start’ symbol flashing?

BEKO WMB71642W. Had suds coming out of detergent drawer. Stopped machine, rinsed and spun and unloaded washing. Now the ‘start’ symbol (triangle) is flashing and it is stuck on one wash program. Can’t do anything – tried 3 sec cancel, tried ‘start’. Held start and turned on, got error code E18.

Re: BEKO WMB71642W

E18 is an unbalanced load error and its more of an advisory more than an error
Beko’s answer is

Reasons for terminating the program before spinning as a result of unbalanced load detection.
1) When you use the machine with less quantity of laundry, it may pile up at one side of the drum. When high speeds are reached under an unbalanced load, washing machine will likely be damaged. For this reason, when the unbalanced load in the machine is calculated as more than the limit value, it will not spin for safety purposes.
2) When the machine is operated with only one pullover, bathrobe or towel, piling up probability of the laundry at one point in the drum is quite high. Try not to wash such laundry as one piece as much as you can.

Re: BEKO WMB71642W

all i can think of is your motor brushes. think if they are not in contact with the motor due to wear everything stops
