if the water pressure is fine, then it must be the inlet valve which is not expensive to replace.

Im not sure how it could be the control board because the drum shouldn't spin when it has water in it. Can you do a wash and watch it? let me know how much water is in the drum before it starts each spin cycle? The only other thing I can think of is a faulty pressure switch. This is a roughly 2 inch circular device attached high up in the machine somewhere with a rubber/plastic hose attached to it. The other end of the plastic hose goes to the lower part of the drum. You could pull the hose off the pressure switch and try blowing through it and reconnecting it.

sounds as though the pump isnt emptying the drum quickly enough? The drum should be empty of water before spinning commences. Have you checked the drain filter etc?

Check the heater is working.

Thats a pressure switch. It could have something to do with the heating. What makes you feel it's faulty? it's usually the other end of the hose which gets built up with crud. If it is faulty, don't forget to clean out the other end attached to the drum.

I cant help if its a sprue broken away from a rubber hose. Is it basically the same diameter as the drain hose? I mean would it sit comfortably inside the drain hose. If so ignore it. It cant be a seal with an opening in it.

I thought you just removed the screws at the back of the lid, then slide the lid backwards and lift off? Try searching youtube and you should see. It isn't easy to see where it's leaking from with the lid on.

either that or something peculiar with the soap you are using?

had to change my long lasted hotpoint about 6 months ago. I opted for a 8kg Beko which is serving very well so far. I know it's only early days but it has been doing large washes daily, there are 5 adults here.

I still fail to see how it can possibly be the pressure switch. I thought the pressure switch simply made connections so the pcb could pass current through? However, why would the pump have anything to do with the pressure switch? Let's assume that the pressure switch switches the pump on and off. As water enters the drum, the pump is off. As soon as the pressure switch switches (due to being full of water) the pump switches on. If that happened no clothes would wash at all. The spin cycle gives it away, the pump is still running while the drum is empty of water.

you blew down the pipe into the drum ok?

Apart from the obvious of loose connections somewhere, but personally I would suspect the board. You could see if there is anything obvious on the board which can be replaced, such as a stuck relay?

Thinking about this, I can't see it being the pressure switch. The pump is controlled by the main computer chip. So, if as you say, everything is clear in the pipes, then I can only think of the board being at fault? The pressure switch would only switch things in and out of circuit when there is water in the drum, or it is empty. This doesn't switch in the pump.

can you please state the model number of your beko?

sounds like the pump to me
