How to Reset a Beko Washing Machine

Is your Beko washing machine displaying an error code, refusing to start, or acting up after a power cut? A simple reset can often resolve minor glitches and get your appliance running smoothly again. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resetting your Beko washing machine, along with troubleshooting tips for common issues.

Why Reset Your Beko Washing Machine?

A reset can clear temporary faults, software glitches, and error codes. It’s a quick fix for problems like:

  • The machine won’t start or respond to controls
  • Error messages on the display
  • Interrupted or stuck wash cycles
  • Unusual noises or performance issues

Safety First

Before attempting any reset, always:

  • Switch off the washing machine
  • Unplug it from the electrical outlet
  • Wait until the machine is cool if it’s just finished a cycle

Step-by-Step: How to Reset Your Beko Washing Machine

Method 1: Standard Button Reset

  1. Locate the Buttons: Find the Start, Pause, and Cancel buttons on the front of your machine.
  2. Press and Hold: Press all three buttons at the same time and hold them down for 5 seconds.
  3. Release: Your machine should now be reset and ready to use.

Method 2: Start/Pause/Cancel Button Reset

  1. Switch Off: Turn off your washing machine using the power button.
  2. Press and Hold: Press and hold the Start/Pause/Cancel button for 3–5 seconds.
  3. Switch On: Turn the machine back on. This should clear most minor faults and reset the system.

Method 3: Power Cycle (Soft Reset)

  1. Unplug: Disconnect the washing machine from the power outlet.
  2. Wait: Leave unplugged for about 30 seconds.
  3. Reconnect: Plug the machine back in and turn it on. This can help clear minor software errors.

Method 4: Factory Reset (Some Models)

  2. Wait for Display: Release the buttons when the display flashes or the lights blink.

If a reset doesn’t resolve the issue, check for these common error codes:

  • E1: Thermistor or wiring problem

Consult your user manual for more specific troubleshooting steps or contact a qualified engineer if problems persist.
