Solution Summary

AI-generated from this discussion

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Beko washing machine showing tap symbol with line through it

The problem
The original fault asked about was a Beko washing machine displaying a tap symbol with a line through it. In the discussion, this was described as indicating that no water is getting into the machine. A later post from another user described separate filling-related symptoms on a Beko WMB71231B after installation, but that was not confirmed as the same fault or resolved.
Likely cause
Most strongly supported diagnosis is a water supply or fill problem, with no water entering the machine. In the later WMB71231B post, a plumbing/installation issue was suggested, but this was not confirmed.
What fixed it
Check the machine’s water supply/fill arrangement, as the accepted reply states the symbol means no water is getting into the machine. The thread does not document a confirmed repair or exact corrective action.
Checks to try
  • Tap symbol with a line through it noted on the display
  • Accepted reply identified the symbol as no water getting into the machine
  • For the later WMB71231B post: programme time fluctuating, fabric softener not being taken, and water continuing to enter at programme end

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It sounds like a notification that there's no water getting into machine, try this washing machine won’t fill with water

Hi

I have recently purchased a Beko WMB71231B washing machine.

I had the same machine in my other house (just moved into this one) and had no problems with it.

Had my kitchen done in this kitchen and the machine was plumbed in by a plumber on 1May 2015.

He did not test it.....just plumbed it in. I use it yesterday the 2 May 2015 and it just is not working the same. I always use the "time saver" option for darks. The programme for this is 28 minutes long. I have watched the programme and it is not good. The following is happening:

* the programme goes from say 27 minutes to 26 minutes then back up to 27 minutes and periodically does this throughout the wash.

* it is not taking the fabric softener during the wash

* when the program ends ( and to be fair it seems to take longer than 28 minutes) it continues to let in water so I have to turn the tap off at the back of machine and put it on spin and get the water out that way. The tap is still off at the back as I am frightened I will be flooded.

I rang the engineers and they are going to call me with a time and date to come have a look.

As a woman on my own, I don't want to be told by the engineer when he comes, it's the way I'm using it because I have had this same make and model before so I know how it should work.

Can someone give me some advice please. Thankyou in advance

Hello Millie, sorry for such a late reply. Did you get this sorted? If the washing machine worked okay at the old house and worked okay until it was plumbed in at the new house then the suspicion is something is not quite right with the plumbing. Another possibility though is something happened during transit.
