Hi, hope you can help.
I've read the troubleshooting but I'm not sure if I'm competent enough to try a fix.
We moved homes a few streets away and now my beko wm5101w starts filling up with water as soon as the on button goes on and doesn't stop unless I turn the tap off or press the on/off button again.
I've tried the test bellow:

And everything works in test mode apart from the water not stopping filling in. It only fill from the right hand side in the draw. I also tried to reset the machine but nothing stops the water apart from turning the power off.
Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
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 WM5101W fills continuously whenever switched on
- The problem
- After being moved house, the Beko WM5101W starts filling with water as soon as it is switched on and continues filling until either the water tap is turned off or the machine is switched off. In test mode, all functions reportedly worked apart from the water not stopping. The fill was only through the right-hand side of the dispenser drawer.
- Likely cause
- The accepted diagnosis was that the water inlet valve is being energised continuously while the machine is powered on, either from a constant live supply to the valve or a constant neutral return, depending on the wiring. An insulation fault was also mentioned as a possible explanation.
- What fixed it
- No DIY repair was confirmed. The recommended action was to have the machine checked by an engineer, as this type of fault may require specialist electrical testing.
- Checks to try
- Machine fills continuously whenever switched on
- Filling stops when the machine is turned off
- Filling also stops if the water tap is turned off
- Test mode was tried and other functions reportedly worked
- Water entered only from the right-hand side of the drawer
- A reset was attempted without success
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Special meter for insulation fault testing
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If the water valve is operating all the time the washing machine is on and stops when it's turned off then it must have constant power or a constant neutral return (depending on how it's wired up).Insulation faults can cause weird things like this but needs a special meter to test. I'd get an engineer to be honest.
