BEKO Beko WM74135W turns on but doesn't start
Hi Andy,
My BEKO Beko WM74135W turns on as normal and you can select the different programmes but thats as far as you can go. Pressing start does nothing. No water comes in and last night I poured water into the drum and selected spin and drain but nothing happened. I find out that the filter was clogged so I all that out. Given that no error codes are coming up on the screen, would this be a problem with the door lock?
Regards

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 WM74135W powers up and selects programmes but will not start
- The problem
- The Beko WM74135W turned on normally and programmes could be selected, but pressing start did nothing. No water entered the machine, and a spin/drain attempt also did nothing even after the filter was found clogged and cleared. No fault codes were reported.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion was a fault with the door lock system or the machine not recognising that the door was closed. However, other electrical faults or the PCB were also mentioned as possible causes, so the exact fault was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to check whether the door actually locks when a programme is started. If the door does not lock, the discussion suggests the door lock may be faulty and replacement might resolve it. If the door does lock but the machine still does not start, the fault was said to need proper tracing and was not identified from the thread alone.
- Checks to try
- Observed that programmes could be selected but start did nothing
- Confirmed no water entered
- Tried spin and drain with water added manually but nothing happened
- Filter was found clogged and cleared
- No error codes were displayed
- Recommended check: see whether the door lock is locking the door
- Parts or tools mentioned
- door lock
- PCB
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Most washing machines should allow you to select a wash cycle but won't start the cycle if the door is not closed, or there is a fault on the door lock system so that it isn't registering that the door is closed. One way to possibly test for that is to see if the door lock is locking the door. It's also possible for some other electrical fault or even the PCB to be at fault.

Thanks Andy. I am currently in remote part of Zambia, Africa. Parts are not easy to get can't exactly call someone out. Is there anything I can do to find out which one is which?
Not really. It would need tracing properly. If the door locks but doesn't start it could be anything. If the door doesn't lock then it implies the door lock might be not operating. There's no guarantee, but if the door doesn't lock yet the programmes can be selected a new door lock might fix it.
