Plumber to fix broken Beko Washer Dryer?


Recommended Posts

Hello


I have a broken Beko Washer/Dryer (integrated). I've gone round the houses with companies (Beko/Curry's) saying they can't fix as they can't source a part.


Can anyone recommend a plumber? Someone came out to assess and made the issue worse - it was previously just not turning on but now it's filled with water.


The part is apparently a Main PCB module if anyone can recommend suppliers.


Sorry to post on here it's just without the big companies helping I'm at a loss with what to do and scared the house will flood sad smiley

Hi,

You can easily drain the water out from the filter at the bottom. You definitely do not need a plumber for an appliance you need a appliance engineer.

If Beko cannot source the part for you nobody will be able to unfortunately. All parts suppliers parts will come from the manufacturer to start with.

I wouldn?t use espares for any parts. They are massively over priced and send out pattern parts for the price of original parts.

I can talk you through draining the water away if you like.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. Steve I've left you a message on your mobile.


The company I called (listed on the machine) were a bunch of charlatans if I'm honest. They signed me up to a ?15 per month plan, sent someone round, he said he'd be in touch to fix it. By chance I called said company earlier today to let them know that the situation had worsened and that water was sitting in the machine and they said "oh, we cancelled your policy because it was too expensive to fix" - but no one told me! I then called the sub contracted folk and asked what the problem was and they said the part was going to take "too long" to arrive - but didn't say how long. Seems odd they'd decide it was too long when I'm the customer and still don't know how long that is?


Any and all advice very much welcome. I've drained it with a bucket and some cloths and I *think* I've turned off the water supply.


Seems very wasteful to replace the machine when it's only 18 months old and could simply use a new part?

1) Speak with 'Spin Doctor' Steve. He's the expert.

2) The remedies I'd be thinking of are (a) (assuming it is a control board that's the problem) replacing it, either new or maybe even a salvaged one as may be found on Ebay or elsewhere; (b) (assuming you bought it new from a business) asserting your right to repair or replacement by the seller, of an item that has turned out to be not of merchantable quality, or whatever the current term is. But you're going to need an expert to help with either of these or any other suggestion.

    • I needed someone to fit a new bathroom tap at short notice and Lucasz was on-time, quick and did a great job. No fuss and no mess - will definitely have more jobs for him.
    • I have a warning from EE that they're undertaking work locally to me, I'm assuming the south end of Underhill, over the next 5 days so there may be a temporary reduction in service. Otherwise it's fine. In case you suddenly hear adverse comments, problems may only be short lived. 
    • For those of us in Forest Hill this is great news.  As well as a better connection to Clapham, a quicker route to Catford is very welcome, as we often use Catford stations a lot for the Thameslink and to go down to Bromley and Beckenham. A stop in Brixton would be welcome.  Yes we have the P4.  But have you ever used the P4?
    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability.
