Beko Wm5100W Seconds Of Water Then Drain

[thempsc]

Hi folks,

I have with me a beko WM5100W with an error, but not sure of the fault.

On any cycle, I get water pumping into the inlet as norma... Only for around 5 seconds, then it stops filling, and then drains for 1 second then nothing else happens.

It looks like it might be quite an old washing machine. And if so it could be hot and cold fill. Are there two water valves or just one? It could be that one of the water inlet valves is not letting in water either because of a faulty tap or kinked hose, or a faulty water valve solenoid. The latter can happen with double cold fill valves where one side works okay but the other doesn't.

It has only one cold fill connection, but two solenoids connected to that

Try the machine on several different wash cycles and see if any water ever gets taken in by the second valve. It sounds to me as though the second valve may be faulty (possibly an open circuit coil inside)

If you have a continuity test meter you could try disconnecting the machine from the mains, taking the wires off each side of the solenoid and checking to see if there's any continuity. The continuity reading should be the same for both valves.
