This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko WMA 642 W fills and drains but drum does not start
- The problem
- A Beko WMA 642 W, in use since 2011, suddenly takes in water but does not begin the wash cycle. Resetting by holding the start button for three seconds did not change the behaviour. On a spin programme it drains/empties the machine but does nothing further.
- Likely cause
- The strongest supported diagnosis in the discussion is that the motor is not running, as the machine will fill and drain but the drum does not turn. Another reply mentions checking information for a machine that fills and drains at the same time, but no confirmed fault was established from that alone.
- What fixed it
- No completed repair was confirmed in the thread. The accepted reply diagnosed a likely motor-running fault based on the symptoms. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Reset attempted by holding the start button for three seconds
- Spin cycle tested: the machine emptied/drained but did not continue
- Drum reported as not turning at all
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

What does it do if you put it on a short spin cycle? Try leaving it for 10 mins or so and let me know what it does. It could be that the motor just isn't running.
