Re: Beko DFN6831 not always completing cycle
Many thanks for all the comments and suggestions so far 😉
Anyways, it looks like (touch wood) the problem has resolved itself. After limping through a few washes, it now seems to complete a full program without stopping.
My guess – and it is only a guess – is that something called the pressure switch was the cause. (I think that was the name – I found some info on this site or perhaps elsewhere that suggested to me that this switch/valve thing could be malfunctioning). It has capillary tubes to it and I reckon they might have gotten gunked up – or partially – by the all-in-1 tablets. We’d changed brand of tablet recently so perhaps it was, more precisely, that particular brand. I reckon the change to separate salt, rinse aid & detergent and a couple of washes de-gunked the tubes. That’s my guess anyway 😆

Same problem on shorter, cooler program (“delicates”). Right after cleaning cycle, before rinse cycle. Put the program on ‘pause’ for a few hours then restarted it and it completed happily.
Anybody any ideas?
Re: Beko DFN6831 not always completing cycle
As suspected, the change to separates (powder, rinse aid and salt) made no difference. ‘Eco’ program (50c) of 2hr 35 length stopped with 1hr 12 to go…. before the final rinse & dry cycles. A lot of steam when the door is opened.
Restarted after leaving overnight, it completed the program semi okay. I say “semi” because it ‘hiccuped’ with 55 minutes to go during the rinse cycle (according to the display panel). The screen blinked, reset to 56 minutes, blinked again… (repeat blink/redisplay sequence a few times….), then displayed 54 minutes and continued on.
Drying phase completed without problem or interruption. Opening the door, it’s not as hot as before now.
Is it possible that the wash cycle is overheating the unit and causing the control board to malfunction???
