I have a beko washing machine (1000 spin). Because of the cold weather I decided to help the soap powder melt a little by dissolving it in hottish water and pouring it down the dispenser before pressing the start button. Problem is now it won't start at all.

Two of the green LED's saying Wash and Ready just flash off and on now and I've read the manual and tried the only button press it has in it. The one that cancels the child lock.

Any ideas ? Is there something I can do or have I damaged the machine ?

And here's a proper actual tip that works. A problem I've heard folk asking about a few times on the net and which I worked out myself and fixed a few months back. If your washing machine starts to ame a hell of a racket when it's spinning and even jumps about and moves around too much. It won't be the bearing though you should always check them first. On the top and bottom of the outer drum there are big concrete blocks bolted to it to give stability to the machine. One or maybe all of these bolts will have worked loose and this causes the block to hit off the side of the drum and cause the noise and the excess amount of vibration, soution get a 13mm socket of good quality and a socket bar and tighten them up as hard as you can. Thar should sort it right out as it did mine and i've not had any problems with that for ages now.

By the way and but sorry if you want sense of this start from a few answers down and read up the way.
So I also had been noticing that when the clothes had been coming out I was having to put them back in for another spin as they were still sodden. I guess the vibration was causing the main wash to lose it's connection when the spin part of the prog came. Common snse really. Now I've no problems and the machine is working as new. Cost zero.

So that was the cause a dodgy programme selector switch. Shoulda guessed as it felt really loose for a couple of months whereas now I can hear it click between selection.

So I merely put the small box box together again using my common sense and snapped all the other three retaining clips off as well. This was because they were in the way of the tape I wanted to wrap around it. That's what I did wrapped insulating tape around it several times at top and bottom and connected the module and all that back up agian making sure there were no loose connections.

If anyone else is experiencing a problem like the one above I hope you will find this information useful in contrast to the above which was nonsense and didn't work. So I took of the top of the washing machine and with luck I found the problem straight away. Beside the main module there is a wee box which is seperate from the main module. This small box is the programme selector. It had come apart and the circuit board was just hanging there loose. .
