Beko Wmb 81455 Lw - Does Not Start Wash - 0417 Error Code?
Hi, Looking for some help diagnosing the issue with my washing machine!
I have a Beko WMB 81455 LW - 15 months old (just out of warranty ) which stopper working at the weekend. I can't remember any particular event that occurred that caused it to stop working. Now when I try to turn it on and put it on any washing cycle, the machine rinses the detergent chamber as usual but then never starts, it continues to fill/rinse the detergent chamber, stop and repeat. Even if putting the machine on a spin and drain cycle only, nothing happens. I therefore believe the issue is likely a motor fault..?
I have tried putting the system into test mode as described here (http://www.how-to-repair.com/help/beko-washing-machine-self-test-diagnostic-mode/) and find that it never performs any of the spin related test steps. Also when putting the system into test mode, a number flashes up on screen - 0417, I'm not sure if this is an error code, can't find any further details from google.
I have cleaned the pump filter as I have read is recommended, though to no avail. Not sure what to do next. Any help with next steps to diagnose/fix the issue would be great.
Thanks,

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko WMB 81455 LW fills but will not start wash or spin, code 0417 reported
- The problem
- The washing machine would rinse/fill the detergent drawer but then repeatedly stop and refill without starting the wash. A spin/drain cycle also did not run, and in test mode the spin-related steps did not operate. The display showed 0417.
- Likely cause
- The thread supports a non-turning drum/motor fault, but no single cause was confirmed for the original case. One reply said this symptom can have many causes. A common suggestion in general was worn carbon brushes, but another user stated this model uses a different motor without carbon brushes. Separate confirmed causes in similar cases on the thread were a blocked pump impeller from a trapped sheet, and in one professional repair case replacement of the motor, board and door latch.
- What fixed it
- Clean the pump filter and check for an obstruction around the pump propeller/impeller. If the drum or motor still does not turn, do not guess parts from the code alone; further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer. One solved case on the thread was repaired by a Beko-approved engineer who replaced the motor, control board and door latch under a goodwill arrangement, but this was not confirmed as the exact fault for the original post.
- Checks to try
- Pump filter cleaned
- Machine put into test mode
- Observed that spin-related test steps did not run
- Display showed 0417
- Spin/drain cycle would not operate
- Pump propeller/impeller checked in one confirmed similar case and found obstructed by a colour catcher sheet
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Pump filter
- Motor
- Control board
- Door latch
Safety: Do not guess and replace electrical parts purely from this code or symptom. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hiya, I have the exact problem with mine, just wondering if you got any help with this problem
hi, i too have the same code and issue with my beko 81445lw machine. estudent or dec did either of you find out any more info or a solution?
Thanks Donal
I have the same problem and cannot find any information about the error code. I did search for the problem and the only answer was an advertisement for bearings and a seal. I think my problem is the motor as it does not turn during test mode. Any ideas?
Hi, all of the advice I can think of is in the article I linked to on my last reply. If the drum/motor isn't turning at all it could be many things but the most common cause is worn carbon brushes.

Hiya, I was baffled by code and Beko couldn't tell me what it was either, my machine was 6 months out of warranty when this happened, I contacted Beko and they agreed to supply parts but not labour as long as I used their approved engineer. We contacted the company and when the engineer arrived to inspect machine he couldn't identify it either, firstly this machine does not have Carbon Brushes as it uses a different style motor which is known to give trouble, so as Beko was supplying parts he said he would replace the motor, the board and the door latch as these are normally the usual suspects. The parts was ordered and he came back the following week, repair done, machine like new and when I asked for the bill he said that Beko had it covered, so happy ending for me. Hope you get resolved, try Beko first, chance your arm, these motors are about 100 quid alone,
best of luck...
Good outcome Dec. This fault, where the motor does not run can have many different causes so it would be highly risky to just guess at the motor and buy and fit one for anyone with this fault.

I don't know if that's just a generic error code but I had this tonight and couldn't find anything. After reducing the massive load my wife had put on, I got it to complete a cycle but everything was drenched after a 1200 spin. I cleaned the filter and found a colour catcher sheet wrapped around the propeller at the back. Took a while to remove it but it seems to be working fine now. A couple of quick washes and all seems well.
