Beko Wmi 71641 Not Draining At End Of Cycle
Hello, my first post. I have an issue with the above machine, it fails to drain water at the end of the cycle. I manually drained it using the hose at the front and found a hairclip that was caught in the trap (this was possibly stopping the drian motor from spinning). Tested another cycle but again it fails to drain. The pump is spinning (it's louder than normal) and I can see the impeller spinning if I remove the front hose drain cover. I can also confirm that the rear outlet hose is definitely not blocked.
Is it most likely that the drain impeller pump motor has failed due to hair clip?? Is this a replaceable part and how much?? I would do it myself as I am an IT engineer and mechanic so not daunted by such things.
Thanks in advance for any advice
Dylan

Beko WMI 71641 not draining at end of cycle
- The problem
- The washing machine would not drain at the end of the cycle. The trap had contained a hairclip, which was removed, but the fault remained. The pump could be heard running more loudly than normal, the impeller could be seen spinning from the front drain opening, and the rear outlet hose was reported clear.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply said the drain pump impeller may have broken and be rattling on the shaft rather than pumping properly. Another supported possibility was a blockage elsewhere in the drain path. The exact fault was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to check the full drain path again for any remaining blockage. If no blockage was found, the likely repair was replacement of the drain pump.
- Checks to try
- Trap checked and hairclip removed
- Manual draining carried out via the front hose
- Pump heard spinning and louder than normal
- Impeller seen spinning through the front drain cover
- Rear outlet hose checked and reported not blocked
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Drain pump
Safety: Isolate the appliance from the electricity supply before inspection or replacing parts. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It's possible the impeller has broken and instead of spinning it's just rattling about on the shaft. If so it needs a new pump. Either that or there's a blockage somewhere else. Just double check everything in my article here - Can’t Find a Blockage But Washing Machine Still Not Draining
