Steps to reset a Beko washing machine
Hello! Beko washing machines have a fairly robust performance and great reliability. However, like any washing machine, technical problems can arise, especially if there is electronics involved. If you need to reset your Beko washing machine, here are the steps you need to follow:
- Disconnect from the power: As we have mentioned in some articles before, it is highly recommended to disconnect any electrical appliance from the power before manipulating it to avoid possible electric shocks and very dangerous electric discharges. So, unplug the washing machine from the wall.
- Wait for 5 minutes: Some systems need a few minutes before being reconnected so that their internal systems reset to factory values or the last ones stored. This avoids any temporary errors.
- Plug it in again: After those minutes have passed, plug the washing machine back in and wait a few seconds for it to "prepare" so that we can control it again.
- Choose the reset cycle option: On the control panel, select the reset cycle option (Reset or Restart, depending on the language version). Perhaps this option on your washing machine has a different name, so I advise you to consult its manual.
- Start the reset cycle: With the reset cycle option selected, press the start button now to begin the process. This step will take a few more minutes.
- Wait for the cycle to finish: When the process is finished, your Beko washing machine should be ready for normal use. Check that the problem has been resolved so you can continue using your washing machine normally as always.
As I mentioned, if you followed the steps correctly, your washing machine should have been reset correctly so you can use it again normally. These steps solve any technical problem your washing machine may have had. If it is not fixed, it is advisable to contact Beko's authorized technical service.
Details to consider
Below is a generic list of tips you can follow if the reset of your Beko washing machine fails:
- Manual: All manuals provide detailed instructions on how to perform the reset process, so it would be advisable to have it always on hand for any additional steps that may be necessary.
- Control panel: Over time, you should become familiar with all the buttons on the control panel; it's possible that you accidentally locked it by pressing where you shouldn't have. You will likely use the same buttons most of the time. But it doesn't hurt to inform yourself about what all the buttons do.
- Power source: If the washing machine does not start when starting the reset process, it's possible that its electrical current is null or weak. Try testing another power outlet and/or checking the electrical supply.
- Persistent errors: If after following all the steps we have recommended, the problem persists, it is very likely that the problem is more serious. If you don't know a professional technician, it is best to contact Beko's technical support service for further assistance.
