I haven’t been able to find a dedicated Beko forum so hopefully someone here might help…
After having lots of problems with a no-mark tumble dryer I’d bought (Iberna ESHCTD) the retailer agreed to refund me and I ended up buying a Beko DTIKP71131w which came highly recommended. And to be fair it’s hugely better than the Iberna.
The only problem I’ve found is that it supposedly “intelligently” controls the drying time. So far, the only program I’ve used is Beko’s Cupboard Dry setting which supposedly lasts for 70 mins. Yet in each case, the Beko decided after only 50 mins that the clothes were now dry enough and switched itself off. But after removing them from the machine, everything’s still on the damp side. And there’s no point in re-starting the cycle because it makes exactly the same decision and stops almost immediately 🙁
So does anyone know if there’s some way to disable the so-called “intelligence” and let the dryer continue till the end of its cycle?
the timing of any programme is averaged until the machine can measure the moisture as drying time depends on load size.
as for cuting out before time , what was loaded in it? if its all towels or similar material it may dry better. if some of the items are dried quicker it may not sense the wetter items

Yeah, I guess that might explain it. It was a small load but I’d a mixture of slow drying and quick drying things – shirts / socks / underwear etc. Maybe I should experiment and try separating things into different loads?
One more thing that’s puzzling me… most previous dryers I’ve owned have been bi-directional – i.e. the drum rotates clockwise for 5 or 6 minutes, then goes anticlockwise for 5 or 6 minutes, then keeps reverting between them but this Beko is different. It goes clockwise for maybe 10 minutes, then anticlockwise for about 5 seconds, then back to clockwise for 10 minutes and so on. It never spends more than a few seconds in the anticlockwise direction.
Does that seem normal..?
yes quite normal
the fans are more efficient in one direction so it only reverses enough to untangle things
