I have a Beko
At the end of the cycle after the spin, it adds water, drains. Adds water, drains adds water again and drains again.
It leaves a pool of water in the bottom of the machine.
Can anyone help me?

Beko washing machine repeatedly fills and drains at end of cycle, leaving water
- The problem
- At the end of the wash cycle, after spinning, the Beko washing machine adds water and drains repeatedly, then leaves a pool of water in the bottom of the machine.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is that the machine is not detecting that it has emptied properly, or it is draining too slowly. Suggested causes in the discussion were a blocked drain filter or pump area, a restricted or incorrectly fitted drain hose, a weak drain pump, or a pressure sensing problem such as a blocked pressure chamber or pressure switch hose.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to isolate the machine from the mains, then check and clear the drain filter and pump area, inspect the drain hose for kinks, blockage or incorrect installation, and observe whether the machine drains strongly on a drain/spin cycle. If those checks do not cure it, further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer. No confirmed repair was posted.
- Checks to try
- Checked drain filter and pump area for lint, coins and other obstructions
- Checked pump impeller turns freely and is not jammed
- Checked drain hose for kinks, squashing, partial blockage or incorrect fitting
- Observed drain/spin cycle to see whether water drains out slowly
- Considered pressure chamber or pressure switch hose blockage
Safety: Isolate the washing machine from the mains before checking anything internal. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

What you describe is often the machine trying to complete its final rinse/empty sequence but not quite “seeing” that it has emptied properly, or not draining fast enough.
Before checking anything internal, isolate the washing machine from the mains.
1. Check the drain filter and pump area Open the filter flap, remove the pump filter and clear out lint, coins, hair grips etc. Also look inside at the pump impeller and make sure it turns freely and isn’t jammed.
2. Check the drain hose installation Make sure the drain hose isn’t pushed too far down the standpipe, kinked, squashed, or partially blocked. If the hose is too low or badly fitted it can confuse the fill/drain process.
3. Check how well it drains Run a drain/spin cycle and watch the waste outlet. If water comes out slowly, the pump may be weak or there may be a restriction in the hose or plumbing.
4. Check for pressure system problems A blocked pressure chamber or pressure switch hose can cause odd overfill/extra rinse/drain behaviour and leave water in the base of the drum. If the filter and drainage are clear, this becomes a strong possibility.
5. Consider whether it is only a small sump of water A little water below the drum/pump area can be normal, but a visible pool left in the drum bottom is not.
If the simple checks don’t cure it, the likely suspects are a partial blockage, faulty drain pump, or pressure sensing fault. If internal testing is needed, it’s best to use a qualified appliance engineer. Any mains electrical work should be left to a professional.

SAFETY FIRST: READ BEFORE ACTING ON THIS GUIDANCE
Never work on a live appliance
Always unplug it at the mains before going near it with any tools.
Never attempt gas work
By law, gas appliances must only be worked on by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If your fault involves gas, stop and call a professional. Do not attempt it yourself.
Watch for sharp edges
Outer panels are smooth, but internal parts have sharp machined edges. Wear protective gloves and arm sleeves.
Water appliances can leak
Turn off the water supply before disconnecting any hoses.
Know your limits
If you are not confident testing or working inside the appliance, stop and call a professional.
