How To Replace Beko washing machine elements and NTC sensors

 

Beko made washing machines elements and NTC sensors are quite easy to fit and on a lot of models the control board will tell you when something is wrong.

How to test and replace Beko washing machine elements and NTC sensors

  1. Remove the screws from back of the back panel of the Beko washing machine (on this Beko model). These are normally philips head screws.
  2. The element is situated at the bottom of the drum. Take photo of the wiring before disconnecting it.
  3. Just uncouple the wires attached to the thermostat. Usually spade connectors.
  4. You will now be able to test with a multi meter.
  5. You can now also test the Beko NTC sensor you will need to set your meter to ohms Ω and see if it is correct, if you are not sure see our videos on NTC sensors.
  6. To remove Element and NTC sensor undo this nut which is attached to the retaining clip, with a spanner or a socket. Don’t undo it all the way because you have to tap the nut in, to release the pressure on the seal, then with a flat bade screw driver prise the washing machine heater element away from the outer tube. Be careful with this
  7. The NTC sensors (thermostat) is a push fit into the element
  8. Replace which part is need and reverse this procedure

    Hi, thanks for the video very useful.

    Two things: 1) on my Beko there was a spring bracket inside the machine which holds the heating element on the correct horizontal position, so you may need to look inside the slot with a torch before reinserting the element so you can get it seated on this bracket properly before doing up the nut.

    2) Both the element tested 23 ohms and the NTC tested 5,000 ohms! so both were good. So I cleaned the connections, made sure they were both making. I scrapped off a bit of the insulation of the NTC wires with a Stanley blade so I could check there was a reading when the connecter was on. Then I taped up the two wires where I hade scrapped a bit of insulation off to expose the wire. I ran a quick wash and the water now got hot so no parts needed this time.
