Problem with Beko Washing Machine

[Celtigra3]

I'm not sure if I am posting in the right place, but need some advice. My washing machine (just days out of its guarantee) was working fine on Sunday. Today when I switched it on, the ready light comes on, but nothing happens, but the delay timer for 3 6 and 9 hours just keeps flashing between the lights, is there anything I can do. I have tried holding the buttons down, but it just keeps flashing and the machine won't work.

Open the door Celtigra - mines developed a habit of not closing propertly sometimes.

Is the start/pause button flashing aswell or just the time delay ?

[Celtigra3]

No, it's not the door, have tried that as mine sometimes has that problem. It's just the timer lights that are flashing the start button stays steady.

I'm dreadful but I'd just keep pressing knobs to try to get the lights to stop flashing & then start again. Have you tried all the usual methods - turning it off and unplugging it - it might then reset something which may have stuck in the .timer programmes. if that doesn't work, you may have to get a little man in - sorry.

Thanks for your help - just will have to use my daughter's machine till I can afford the wee man!!! Lucky she is on her hols!

Sorry Celtigra - I'm useless with electrical appliances!

If you have had it less than two years, it is still guaranteed under EU law, even if they claim it only has a one year guarantee.

have you turned it off and on again at plug?

[AlBags]

I suppose you have tried switching off at the plug, waiting a couple of seconds, and powering on again?

Thank you all for your help - the Eu link is great as I am a bit hard up (like everyone else!) just now

Does your washing machine have a filter?
If it does then it will probably be low down on the front.
Place a tray to catch any water and twist the filter cap anti-clockwise.
( If the machine has a lot of water in it then be careful not to remove the filter completely or you will flood your kitchen ).
When the water stops emptying remove the filter completely and check if there is anything in it that should not be there.EG. A sock, a button or one of those colour -catching sheets.
Clean out the filter and replace in the machine. It should then operate normally.
The flashing lights usually indicate that one of the motors, either for the drum or the filter pump is unable to turn. This fault will cause the machine to cease functioning.
It is a form of failsafe.
BTW. If after all this advice your machine doesn't have a filter the i'm afraid it means a visit from the engineer and a swift intake of breath.
