Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel i'm here to save you time
and money and today is the Beko washing machine
how to remove and clean the filter, maybe your Beko washing machine is getting a
bit smelly or the water's not draining properly
you might have a blockage in the filter, i'll show you how to remove it give it a
good clean and then put it back in again, okay let's
get cracking now if your washing machine has got a
lot of water in it be very careful when you take the filter out because there
could be a lot of water if it's draining properly there
shouldn't be that much water now what you're going to need for today
is your wife's toothbrush for the cleaning. Wife 'Lurgs have you been using
my toothbrush for cleaning the washing machine again!'. Um No.
And just a rag or a sponge because there will be some water now you
shouldn't need to turn off your mains cold water feed for this process
now the pump filter is normally down on the bottom right hand side on Beko
washing machines so just pull this flap open
what you can do is you can remove this flap here just to give you a bit of
extra space to put your tray there to catch the water,
this just unclips out towards you, this tray can
actually collect the water but i find it's not big enough, then put your tray
as close as possible
and what you do is you've got this hose here just pull it out towards you
and it's got a bung stopper in the end
now get your tray ready so remove that bung
and then just start letting the water drain into your tray and i can tell you
now this water is a bit smelly so it's
obviously not draining properly, it really is a bit stinky as soon as
you've almost filled that trap you can put the bung back
in and you may have to do this three four maybe five times, whilst i'm
doing that there's a link above now about how to
activate the child lock on this Beko washing machine
now for the second time
just remove that bung again just fill this tray up
now i will cut this footage short i filled up this tray three or four
times now if your washing machine is not draining water properly and it's full of
water this could be a long process but it's
very important that it doesn't go all over your kitchen floor
especially if you live in a block of flats because the people underneath you
will not be impressed. Let's put the bung back in just empty
this again
there's a link above now about how to disconnect a washing machine before you
install a new one. So that's now completely empty
i can put the bung back in
make sure you pop that bung all the way back in push the hose back into the hole
and then just clip it into that little clip there.
Right
if you hadn't already moved that front tray it's definitely worth unclipping it
i know we did this earlier but just in case you didn't
put your tray back under again there will be some water coming out there
shouldn't be too much but have a rag ready
now my advice is turn it very slowly in case there's a lot of water in there
now if there's something stuck in there it could be quite hard to turn
so just keep turning it anti-clockwise clockwise and anti-clockwise until it
eventually comes out, this one is actually pretty good
but here's another one from a different machine that was full of
all sorts and as i took it out the main culprit you'll find in a pump
filter will be coins like this one or
this is what I found in this washing machine
ah come on and i don't wear hair clips so
someone in the house is in trouble. So we're back to the Beko washing machine
here and actually this pump filter is looking pretty good
so put this in your washing up bowl take your wife's toothbrush
and just give that a really good clean the only bit of dirt and debris i found
on this is just a bit of knotted hair not too
bad at all so chuck that in the bin and now let's just give it a good scrub
with your wife's toothbrush and some hot soapy water just
get off any mold and gunk off of there and there's a link above now about how
to install a brand new washing machine if this one is actually giving up the
ghost, so give it a good scrub and then it's
ready to go back before it goes back in just check the impeller propeller
or the propeller impeller, just make sure it turns freely this one does
now take your wife's toothbrush and just give this a really good scrub inside
you can also put a cloth in here
just to get out any more dirt and debris so you just want to make sure
this is in tip-top sparkling condition this is definitely a bit stinky this
washing machine so it does need a good
clean,
right to put the filter back in just line it up and it should go in
very very easily don't try and force it it should be nice and smooth
and then this one locks in about 11 o'clock
and 5 o'clock
now just put the cover back
there we go now before i run a hygienically clean
fresh washing machine program i'm just going to give the rest of the washing
machine a clean so that involves cleaning the dispenser
drawer, cleaning the dispenser drawer area and checking
the drum rubbers now this one is pretty disgusting so this isn't going
to help the washing machine and the smells and
getting on your clothes so again take your wife's toothbrush and
we're just going to give this a really good scrub with hot soapy water
get rid of all the monk and all the monk all the
muck and gunk and residue and washing powder residue
and just give this a really good scrub,
again I'll cut this footage short
there's a link above now where I review the Bosch Serie 4
VarioPerfect Eco Silence washing machine that's a really good washing
machine, and this is what it looks like
afterwards sparkling clean that's what it should look like all the
time now before you put it back you definitely need to clean inside the
dispenser drawer here we've got lots of washing powder residue and mold as well
so take a hot wet soapy cloth give that a good clean inside
you can also take a dental floss toothbrush
or just a piece of wire clean any of these holes up here
which is where the jets wash out the detergent
and you can give it a scrub with your toothbrush but be very careful
make sure you've got that cloth covering that hole because you don't want the
toothbrush to drop down there and cause you a world of pain, so now
it's all in tip-top condition we can put the dispenser drawer back in
and we'll just clean the rubbers
just got a few bits of hair here, you can get a lot of
dirt and residue built up in these drum rubbers you want to make sure those
holes are clear for the drainage and then once we've done all that we
need to run a hygienically fresh drum clean washing programme, if you haven't got
one of those it doesn't matter what you do is take
this Dr. Beckmann washing machine cleaner any other washing machine
cleaner will do put that straight into the drum, if you
haven't got a drum clean option just set it to the hottest
temperature that it will go on and on this Beko washing machine it's 90
degrees centigrade a cotton wash and i've set it to a quick
wash, this will keep it hygienically fresh and
kill any bacteria because obviously if you're doing lots and lots
of washing at 30 or 40 degrees that is not hot enough
to kill any bugs and bacteria now open this flap back
up because obviously earlier we've just cleaned the filter
you want to make sure that that doesn't leak so keep an eye on that
while you're doing your washing machine
programme.
Now be very careful to keep children away from this washing machine because
it is a wash at 90 degrees centigrade which is
almost boiling point and the glass on the front of that washing machine
will get extremely hot and you won't even be able to touch it
so you don't want young children scolding their fingers on there
there's a link above now about the Bosch Serie 4r 15 minute
Super Wash which is a really handy washing program
you can get your clothes clean in 15 minutes flat.
We're near the end of the cycle here and it's already looking
much cleaner sparkling clean
it's just doing a rinse
again no leaks so it's looking really
good now it's doing the final spin
no leaks at all so i'm very happy with that and hopefully when i eventually
open the door after the washing programme is finished it's going to
smell fresh as a daisy tip top sparkling fresh and hygienically
clean.
Right the washing machine programme is now finished
and when you finish the washing machine programme it's definitely worth just
leaving the door slightly ajar and the dispenser drawer
slightly open just to get a bit of ventilation in the
machine to stop it smelling, and I tell you what, look at that, that
looks amazing and it smells fantastic, and i tell you what that definitely
deserves a cup of tea.
