I have a Beko washing machine WMA510W its been working fine for a year and a half, but now when i put a load of washing in and select a cycle it fills with water and it just carry on filling until it spills into its overflow pipe and errors out, it spins and drains ok. Any answers are great

pressure switch could be faulty, or more likely pressure chamber in the base of machine hole blocked with gunge this links to the the pressure switch to turn incoming water off.
Remove the top and locate pressure switch, round thing with wires and a plastic pipe on it,check the pipe for (splits or detachment). either of these will cause machine to overfill remove the pipe from the switch and blow down pipe if you go red you will have follow the pipe down to the chamber remove the pipe and poke the hole clear reassemble and try machine for filling
