Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today is what to do if your Beko
washing machine is not draining water properly I'll take you through all the steps to hopefully
get your Beko washing machine working properly again now what should be happening is the Beko
washing machine does a normal wash and then at the end it does a rinse and spin and all the water
should be draining out if it's not then at the end your washing machine can look like this where it's
still full of water the first thing to do is check the filter but the most important thing is before
we do that is to switch it off at the mains and unplug the Beko washing machine just to be
100% safe then locate the cold water mains hose at the back of the washing machine that should
go into the cold water mains and then turn it off at the tap just do that by turning it 90 degrees
If you cannot find the cold water mains hose then turn your mains water off at the stopcock
it's a good idea to obviously know the location of your stopcock just in case you get any other
plumbing problems or leaks if you can't locate the stopcock then hopefully you can turn it off in the
street but don't do that if you live in a block of flats because you'll cut everybody's water off!
If you've still got some excess water inside the drum carefully open the door and use a sponge to
drain this out as much as possible and now let's check the filter this is in the bottom right hand
corner just pull this flap open now before we undo the filter straight away you've got this
drainage hose here so just unclip that pull it out now that tray built into the bottom of the
washing machine is designed to catch water but it doesn't hold very much so just try and get another
tray or a washing up bowl take the cap off of the hose and just let it slowly start draining out
now if you've had a blockage with your washing machine it's not draining water this water can
be pretty stinky now it will drain out quite slowly but I managed to fill three or four of
these trays I'll cut this footage short just let that fill up and then just empty it into the sink
Once the water has stopped draining remember to put the plug back in
And then put the hose back into the clip there's a link above now about the Beko dispenser drawer
and what goes in what compartment I don't know about you but I'm always forgetting what goes in
what compartment! And now we're ready to remove the filter it's a good idea to have an old towel
ready or a sponge because you will still get some excess water out of this drainage filter
when you undo it don't undo it very very quickly just undo it slowly let the water slowly drip out
if it's really difficult to undo it probably means that there's something blocking it inside and the
prime suspect for this will be a hair clip so my best advice would be to try and tighten it up and
untighten it and just keep trying that until it works its way loose you may have to get a bit more
forceful with it but just be careful because obviously the filter is just made of plastic
and that is the impeller in there and what we'll do shortly is we'll give that a good clean
as I mentioned the prime suspects for blockages are hair clips like this metal one here these are
just a few of the objects I've found over the years coins which come out of people's pockets
and hair bands are the big ones as well and occasionally you will get face masks as these
get caught down inside the drum rubber we're going to give it a good old clean now so take
your partner's toothbrush I'm just going to use my wife's toothbrush [Wife calls] 'Lurgs have you
been using my toothbrush for cleaning the washing machine again?' There's just a bit of hair tangled
on this filter here then take some hot soapy water not too bad this one's actually in pretty
good condition just give it a really good clean with your partner's toothbrush it's also a good
idea to clean the dispenser drawer on this Beko washing machine there's a link above now about how
to remove that and give it a good clean then make sure that the impeller at the back spins freely
you can probably get your finger in here this one's actually pretty good no blockages
then again your partner's toothbrush give this a good clean inside just with some hot soapy water
make sure you check for any debris at the back any metal hair clips things like that
Then use a kitchen cloth to clean out the rest
of the inside just so it's all nice and spick and span
Then we're ready to reinstall the filter just line it up and then turn it clockwise
until it locks into position
Fabulous
I'm just going to put the tray back on but it's a good idea to leave this open and then when
you do a washing program just to check that the filter is not leaking after you've put it back
if you haven't already done so earlier remember to plug the washing machine
back in and switch it on and remember to turn the cold water feed back on
and then it's definitely worth running a 90 degree centigrade wash with Dr Beckman's
washing machine cleaner just to give it a good flush through and keep it hygienically fresh
and all the time keep an eye on that filter to make sure that it's not leaking
and then hopefully that has fixed your washing machine and it's all working absolutely perfectly,
remember to put your partner's toothbrush back, of course I'm only joking this is a
spare toothbrush. If your Beko washing machine still isn't draining properly then the next thing
to check is the drainage pipe work and there's generally two different types there's a type where
the drainage hose goes in underneath your sink and there's a separate type where it just goes
straight into some normal drainage pipe work which is on the back of your wall like this one here so
I'll show you this one first what you have is the back of your washing machine drainage hose will
literally just be plopped into the top of here and that's where all your drainage water goes so just
remove that make sure you've got your bucket or washing up bowl ready because you will get lots
of smelly water out of here this has got lots of sludge on the outside just give that a good clean
the easiest way to check for blockages in this drainage pipe work is to take your mobile phone
put it into video mode with the flashlight on and just video down and then check the footage
and just see if that looks like clear water or it looks like there's lots of sludge down there this
one actually looks pretty good but I'm just still going to undo it just so you can see how it works,
the U-bend at the bottom is designed to stop any smells coming back into the room and also
to catch any debris or sludge just take a small tray put that underneath then undo the
tighteners here hopefully somebody hasn't glued the threads on and they're not difficult to undo
You will get water out of here and maybe some sludge and debris
There we go this one is actually looking pretty good this has got
lots of clear water in it but if you've got lots of sludge and dirt in there just
give that a really good clean make sure that's flowing nice and freely
This is now ready to go back on so just line it all up and then tighten it up again
And remember this is very very important make sure you put your washing machine drainage hose
back down inside that pipe work because if you don't the next time you run a washing machine
programme you will have water all over your floor put the drainage hose in but don't push it
all the way to the bottom just push it in gently probably about half a foot to a foot the way down,
now the other type as I mentioned before is where the drainage hose goes underneath your sink unit
I've already removed the clip on this which is holding it on gently slide it off again putting
the excess water in a bucket you're looking to make sure that this is in good condition
the hose and the connector on this are nice and clear so I can put this back on
And as with the drainage U-bend I've just showed you, you just need to undo these and check for
any blockages and sludge inside this U-bend here, if you've got any in there give that a good clean
and then reinstall it then we can run a washing machine program at 90 degrees centigrade, again
remember to plug the washing machine back in and switch it on and turn on the cold water
and then run a washing machine program at 90 degrees centigrade with Dr Beckman's washing
machine cleaner and this will give it a nice flush through a really hot temperature and keep the
washing machine hygienically fresh and hopefully that has worked and cleared your drainage problem.
If it still hasn't then check your drainage outside if you can if you've got drainage outside
on your property also lift up any drainage covers see if you've got any blockages, if you can't
access your drainage covers I recommend getting a CCTV drainage survey done just to check that's
all flowing smoothly, if there's no blockages outside then it could just be that you've got
a faulty pump inside your Beko washing machine in which case it's time to call out a washing machine
service engineer as there may be a fault with the pump or the computer board, and a final TOP
TIP after doing any washing machine programme make sure that you leave the dispenser drawer slightly
ajar and the drum door slightly ajar to help with ventilation and stop any smells and mould forming.
