Beko washing machine control panel not working? (Try these fixes)

1. Confirm availability of power

If your Beko washing machine control panel is not working, it might be because your washer has been cut from power supply.

Ensure that your washing machine is plugged in and that the power outlet is working by checking with a voltage meter.

You should also check the circuit breaker to make sure that it hasn’t been tripped.

If everything looks good, try resetting the washing machine by unplugging it for 60 seconds and then plugging it back in.

If this doesn’t solve the issue, then try the next fix below.

2. Check the Circuit breaker

After checking that your washer is connected to power, and your Beko washer still won’t start, the next thing you can try is to check the circuit breaker.

Follow these steps.

Leave your washer plugged into the power outlet
Go to the electrical panel in your home and locate the switch that controls your washer. You’ll usually find the labels pasted inside the panel door.
Turn the switch off for your washer for 30 seconds and turn it back to the on position.
Lastly, press the power button on your Beko washer to see if the controls become active.

3. Check if child lock is active

The child lock feature is a safety feature that keeps all the buttons on the Beko control panel locked except the power button.

This is to prevent kids from tempering with the wash settings whiles you’re doing the laundry.

If your power button is the only button on the control panel that works, it’s possible your child lock may have been activated by accident preventing your Beko washer from starting.

If that’s the case, you need to turn off the child lock.

Turning off the child lock may differ slightly depending on your type and model of Beko washing machine.

Some Beko washers will show “CL” or a key symbol on the display meaning it’s in child lock.

To activate the child lock function, press and hold the relevant child lock button(s) for three seconds.

To turn the child lock off, press and hold the same button(s) for three seconds again.

4. Inspect the control board

If none of the three fixes explained above work you will need to go further and inspect inside the control panel to ensure that no wires are damaged or stressed (signs of melting, fraying, etc.).

1. Disconnect the washer plug from the outlet

2. Remove the two screws behind your washer which hold the top cover in place and remove the cover.

3. Locate the electrical connection point at the backside of the control panel and make sure the connection is not loose and no connecting wires are frayed.

4. Make a close inspection of all the wires behind the control panel to ensure that there aren’t signs of wear and tear. In some cases, you may have to replace the control board of your washer if it’s gone bad.
