Important notice on Beko WM5100S WM5100W

Before entering test mode please be aware that you are not meant to leave the washing machine Unattended. There is a chance the machine can overfill when testing the water valves or the Machine could overheat when testing the heater. Also when entering the test mode make sure the drum is empty as not to cause damage when on spin mode:

If you have problems with the drum not turning or spinning. Then check the carbon brushes in the motor first and test the motor separately before running this Diagnostic sequence as you could do damage to the PCB.

Test Mode Sequence

To enter test mode.

it is advisable that washing machine be switched off or at least 5 minutes prior to entering test mode

With the machine switched off shut the door and turn the dial to the 90 degree position. Now press and hold down the start/pause button and press the on/off  on, while  holding  the start/pause button down for 3 seconds until the start/pause is flashing .

Now turn the dial to the spin/drain position keeping the start/pause button pressed, hold  for 3 more seconds then release.

Now that you've entered the Diagnostic / test mode remember every time you press the start/pause button this will be one advance the program to a new test.

 

1: All the led’s will flash to check that they are working

2: This will activate the start/pause led and wash light led

Led lights: pre wash flashing start/pause flashing.

4:Pump will continue running while drum rotates anticlockwise rotation in wash cycle.

7: Left hand soap draw water valve will be letting water in.

Led lights: start/pause flashing wash flashing.

When the pressure switch activates at the correct water level the drums will start turning in a clockwise rotation with the heater on. After 2 or 3 minutes the motor will stop turning but the heat system will continue to heat the water boiling point. Please be aware that the heating element will not shut down automatically.

    Even if you think your WM5100W has a physical fault, it’s worth doing the full test mode. My mysterious issue (which I suspect was caused by a power surge) has now been fixed. I feel like a propa washing machine technician now.

        Hi Paul, I have a Beko wm5100w I’ve done the test mode but the motor tests don’t seem to do anything. I’ve taken the back off and the belt is still on and there’s no burnt out smells. Any idea what the issue could be?

    My beko wm5100w washing machine will not go to test mode. I followed this procedure:

    With the machine switched off shut the door and turn the dial to the 90 degree position. Now press and hold down the start/pause button and press the on/off on, while holding the start/pause button down for 3 seconds until the start/pause is flashing .

    Unfortunately the start/pause light is not flashing. It remains on but does not flash.

    Please advise. Thank you

    Hi Paul, I have a Beko WM5100W, and when doing the “TEST MODE” the sequence does not go past TEST 6, and I can’t progress any further.

    My machine has quite a bit of water remaining in the machine and the clothes were soaking wet.

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Many thanks.

    BEKO WM5100W Washing machine test mode: – everything works as described until TEST NUMBER 10: – The pre-wash LED does not flash alongside the start/pause LED, although the sequence operates correctly. I know these two LED’s flash together as in Test Mode 3. Does the fact that start/pause LED only flashes in test mode 10 is pointing to some fault, or is all ok? The machine works fine otherwise apart from it does not FULLY empty all the water from the powder/conditioner drawer? I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

    I have a Beko wm74165w
    I have done the diagnosis and the drum does not rotate either way on 3/4 or any further.
    After pressing the start button and turning the dial I get E13.

    Motor?

    beko wm5100 test mode works but drain pump does not run. pump runs if you connect middle red on pressure switch to orange pump wires. Therefore pump is ok and would work if tub overfills. But does not work when fed from control board on test.
    Do I need a new control board or is there anything else I should check?

    I have a Beko WM5100W, the machine stopped working. I put the machine in diagnostic mode as per video. End cycle light is on constant and wash is flashing also start is flashing, no other lights are illuminated or flashing. Replaced the interlock as thought this a logical solution. The problem is still there. Any ideas as to what’s wrong? Please help
