Top 20 Beko WM5140W Questions & Answers

The WM5140 is getting to be between 5-7 years old, about the age that the carbon brushes in the motor wear out. You can pick up a new set on Ebay for £6.99 including delivery (take a look at item number 131407433619 on eBay). They are pretty easy to change with the motor in situ, though, personally, I like to drop the motor out and do it on the bench.

The pipe or filter may be clogged. To check this, pour clean water through the drain. If it is clogged, use a plunger to drain the objects causing the blockage, if you are unable to successfully remove them, seek help from a plumber.

No model number given. Front Loader or Top Loader? Pulled threads are normally in front loader and is caused by a pinch point in one of the baffles. On a top loader, look for a nick in the agitator, or the type with a split agitator, a gap between the two parts.

Check the water pump alongside the filter housing for foreign objects.

Push start switch may need to be tested with a multi meter for continuity OHMS should show a closed circuit when pushed in or turned on. The start switch on some top load washers is often part of the timer and is activated by pulling out on the timer knob. Although not normally available as a separate part, the switch can be tested for continuity with a multi-meter. You will need to remove power from the appliance and then locate the correct timer contacts as noted on the wiring diagram. On some electronic controlled models, the start switch is a momentary contact type switch located on the control console. You can test this switch for continuity with a multi-meter when the push button is held in Door switch if bad can be jumpered with a bypass, fisrt check with meter for ohms. Or open line cirrcuit this switch can hinder or stop operation, agitation or spin cycle. Also check washer fuse usually located along the drum tub or inside control panel. Some type washers may have a motor switch that my have been tripped. Overheating If you've run several loads, one after another, without any problem but suddenly find your washing machine refuses to start, overheating could be the cause. The simple way to discover whether this is the problem is to give the machine ample time to cool down, say for a couple of hours, and then try it again. If it works fine, overheating has been the problem and you may have a motor with bad windings. By the way my advice is free cuz God is good! All washing machines use a motor that is responsible for spinning and agitating during the cleaning cycle. Many top load brands use a reversing motor which means the motor spins in one direction for agitating and another for spinning and draining. If the motor does not start, but makes a humming or buzzing noise then it may be defective. To verify if the motor is at fault, remove the drive and /or pump belts and then try to start the motor again. On direct drive models, you will have to disengage the pump and the direct drive coupling to the transmission. If the motor starts, then the problem is with the transmission or the pump and can be further diagnosed by reconnecting each one individually. If the motor does not start or continues to hum or buzz, then it will need to be replaced Lastly CONTROL BOARD If the control board does not provide the proper voltage to the drive motor, fill valve, drain motor or door lock then the washer may not start. The main control board on most washers is complicated and difficult to diagnose without proper test equipment and procedures. You can visually inspect the control for signs of electrical arcing or burned or damaged components on the board. You should use caution when replacing a control board as sometimes the burned components are caused by external component failures.

If your Beko WMB81242LW washing machine is stuck on the spin cycle and won't change programs, here are a few things you can try:

1. Check the door: Make sure the door is properly closed and latched, as this can sometimes cause the machine to get stuck in one cycle.
2. Reset the machine: Unplug the machine from the power source for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This will reset the machine and may clear the issue.
3. Check the control panel: Make sure the control panel buttons are working properly and not stuck in one position.
4. Check the control board: The control board could be the cause of the issue, especially if your machine is 6 years old. A malfunctioning control board can prevent the machine from changing cycles.

If these steps don't work, it's best to have a professional repair the machine

If you accidentally forgot to replace the lint filter and something got sucked into the dryer, it's possible that the object got caught in the dryer's blower wheel or the vent hose. The blower wheel is located near the front of the dryer and pulls air into the dryer drum, while the vent hose carries the hot, moist air out of the dryer and into your home's venting system. To access the blower wheel and vent hose, you'll need to disassemble the dryer cabinet. Before doing this, unplug the dryer from the power outlet to ensure your safety. Here are some general steps that may help:

1. Remove the lint filter and unscrew the screws holding the filter housing to the top of the dryer.
2. Use a putty knife or flathead screwdriver to release the spring clips holding the top of the dryer to the cabinet. Lift the top panel and rest it against the wall.
3. Remove the screws holding the control panel to the cabinet, then lift the panel and tilt it forward to release it from the cabinet.
4. Remove the screws holding the front panel to the cabinet, then lift the panel and tilt it forward to release it from the cabinet.
5. You should now have access to the blower wheel and vent hose. Inspect the blower wheel and hose for any foreign objects that may be causing the blockage.
6. Once you've located the object, you can use a pair of pliers or tongs to carefully remove it. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands.
7. After the blockage has been cleared, reassemble the dryer in the reverse order that you took it apart.

Error code EOO on a Beko washing machine usually indicates a problem with the drying sensor. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check the lint filter: A clogged or dirty lint filter can prevent the dryer from functioning properly. Clean the lint filter and try running the dryer again.
2. Check the vent hose: A blocked or kinked vent hose can cause the dryer to overheat and trigger the EOO error code. Check the hose for any obstructions or damage and clear them if necessary.
3. Check the moisture sensor: The moisture sensor detects the level of moisture in the clothes and adjusts the drying time accordingly. If it's faulty, the dryer may not be able to dry the clothes properly. Clean the sensor with a soft cloth and make sure it's not damaged.
4. Check the heating element: If the heating element is faulty, the dryer won't be able to produce heat and dry the clothes. Use a multimeter to check the element for continuity and replace it if necessary.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to call a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

Hi, this sounds like you would need to call for a home repair. But before that, I would suggest performing a power cycle on your machine (ie restarting). I would also experiment with different load sizes and make sure that the clothes in the machine are well-distributed during the wash. If still having issues, then you can schedule a repair or replacement with Home Depot at. Thank you.
