Beko BFL853ADW / BFL103ADW Questions & Answers (page 2 of 2)

Check page 12 in the owner's manual. It shows the button to press to toggle through to turn both the auto dosing options on or to select manual for powder. https://www.beko.com/au-en/support/user-manuals-result?search=BFL103ADW

IIRC correctly it won't matter if you've got auto dosing on for the detergent (with the detergent compartment empty) and instead put powder in the central opening. The powder will still get washed down into the tub.

Have done this now :) however machine still not working on any program and the water drop symbol is flashing.

This could mean that there is excess water in the base or you have a problem with the float assembly because the pressure sensor is reading there is too much water in the washer.
Another possibility is there is too many soap suds caused by either adding too much detergent or sometimes when you wash cleaning cloths and add detergent even though there is cleaning liquid already on the cleaning cloths.
When doing anything to the washing machine always unplug the power at the wall

Excess Water in the Base
Drain all the water out of the machine ​by removing the sump hose (on the front) to drain the machine.
If there is water in base you will need to remove as much as you can by manually draining the machine (even tilting it forward will hopefully get all the water out, and soaking up the rest in the base with towels should help reset the float.
****Have lots of towels around on the floor to catch all the water (yes I know ... more washing)****

Excess Soap Suds
You could try flushing it clean on a rinse cycle first to see if this clears the error with an empty load or you will need to get the water out using the above method.
Also check there is not a build up on the pressure switch (try 3/4 filling a water bottle with water and adding dish washing liquid and shake ... to see what I mean about Soap Suds Pressure)
You will need to find the pressure switch remove the pipe and blow through it.
You may have to remove the sump hose to get at the pressure bowl to blow through everything.

Hope it helps

Thanks Family of Four. I'll post up more info after the tech comes to fix it.

Beko suggested running it at 90C on a Cotton cycle with either bicarb soda or Epsom salts as it was most likely scale build up. That didn't work and it stopped again with error E12 at the final spin cycle.

Okay, so my issue is it leaking water into the base of the machine. It can be cleared by taking the rear panel off and soaking up the water (unplug the power first!!!!) Or, the easier method is to tilt the machine forward carefully. Hold it on an angle (about 30 to 40 degrees should be enough) for about 30 seconds and the water will leak out the base. Be careful as the front feet may slide if/ when they get wet.

Then hold the On/ Off button for 3 seconds until it counts down and turns off. Turn it back on and the error should be cleared. Obviously leaking water and electricity isn't a good combo so be careful.

From what I understand, the flashing water drop means that the detergent is being dispensed, but if it is not starting I reckon that there is a fault with the part that then switches over to the actual washing once the detergent cycle is completed.
I reckon it's a warranty issue

Thank you, have put in a call for someone to come out, so frustrating as I’ve only had the machine for two weeks

Hi there, did you end up getting this resolved? Currently have the same issue!

Yes had to get someone out, mine was under warranty, machine needed to be set back to factory setting something to do with water pressure, apparently it’s a common problem

Hi Lee,

This is happening to my machine now. Have called to have someone come look at it but that could take awhile. Do you know how the master reset was done? I'm being told to hold the start/pause and cancel for 3 seconds but my machine doesn't have a cancel button.

Hi, no I tried the hold start/ pause that doesn’t work.. The repair guy took the back of the machine off to reset it, so I’m not sure how and what he did and if it’s something you can do yourself..

Thank you, I have contacted beko since mine is only a year old but unfortunately it will be 2 weeks untill someone can come look at it because there are only 2 authorised beko repairers in my area.

I'm sure it means detergent is being dispensed.
If the detergent or softener icons flash it means they need refilling.

Have you removed the transit bolts?

Yes they were all removed and placed into the bag with the instructions by the installers.

We replaces a Simpson and ours is pretty damn quite.
The only time ours sounded like a jackhammer is when the girls put a load of towels in all rolled up, and it caused it to be unbalanced

Foam block under front removed? All transit bolts? We have had no issues with same model.

Yep all 5 bolts and no foam block, maybe we just got a Monday morning or Friday afternoon machine and it’s not quite right

Beko do have foam blocks under the front of them that need to be removed. What spin speed do you have it on? What cycle?

Hi Family of four. I can’t comment on your post. I just wanted to find out what the end result was on your machine repair

MIT69 keep an eye out for water leaking from the base of the machine. Ours started making the loud "jack hammering" noise on higher spin speeds and it's got major problems.

Hi ReneeE
The only audible sound is a little 'chirp' when the function has finished.
You missed nothing in the user manual.
It's a little annoying to start with, but you get used to it.

Thank you so much, I haven’t heard anything LOL maybe I use to my old loud beeping machine.

There is something in the user manual where you can adjust the volume level.

If you turn off the auto dose function, you can then self dose with what you think should be the correct amount into the middle compartment

Thank you so much

You can adjust the auto dose amount for detergent and softener. Check in the manual- there are three selectable levels.

1. For pre wash
2. For main wash
3. For softener

If you mix the powder with a little water making a paste you can then put in in the same drawer where you put the liquid.
Doing it this way is also more gentle on your clothes than just adding powder on its own

• Drum Cleaning - Press and hold pet hair removal/drum cleaning button for 3 seconds until screen changes to 700 70, then press start. Operate the program while the machine is completely empty. Use regularly (once every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene. Machine will empty after first short clean, then refill and continue to second clean that takes a long time! Clock counts down from 2 hours in hours and minutes. I just got to 1:27 & counting. Leave door open after cleaning ends to let inside of machine dry out.

I have Done this Multiple times.
Makes NO DIFFERENCE.
MACHINE FAULTY.

Finally After All This Time i get a Reply.
I've now had Machine 2 yrs, Its rusted and was not in working order for months, worse Machine ive Ever owned, total waste of Money lasted mths before issues.
Had no option but to purchase a New Machine LG 4 mths ago. Beko Machine sitting in my hall way taking up space. Warranty Claims waste of time, never heard back from you 1.5 yrs on.

Most likely the wires have broken off the light's plug. It happened to mine, you'll need to get a professional to fix it.

Damn.. thank you

The left hand side compartment is for liquid detergent, the centre (open) compartment is for powder detergent and the right hand side is for fabric softener. (It's in the manual.) Use the "Auto Dosing" key to select which compartments you want to use. There's the bottle and flower symbols- bottle is for liquid detergent, the flower for softener. They appear to flash continually if either is low/ empty. You press (rather touch) the "Auto Dosing" key repeatedly to toggle turning them on/ off for the washing cycle. You'd want the bottle and flower symbol on solid to use liquid detergent and softener.

yes, it is.

The part that contains the drum (and water) is some type of plastic. The two previous Asko's I've had were stainless steel.

I think you have to wait a minute, but it beeps to let you know. It's a superb machine I really love it.

The door lock releases straight away at cycle end on these machines. It also has a release leaver in the drain pump area at the bottom in case it fails to open.

Do not buy this machine it is rubbish

Hi Ashley, a cold wash would take around 1 hour but you can put onto quick cycle too which is around 24 minutes
