Beko WM6123W screeching on slow spin with wet washing

The problem
Beko washing machine WM6123W had started making a screeching noise on slow or final spin cycles, while the drum felt normal when turned by hand and clothes were still coming out very wet.
Likely cause
A stuck bra wire in the outlet hole at the front of the washer was found by the original poster and is the most strongly supported cause of the noise and poor spinning. Earlier suggestions included a slipping belt, motor bearings or the water pump, but these were not confirmed.
What fixed it
The original poster removed the stuck bra wire from the outlet area. After this, the machine reportedly settled down and was working normally again.
Checks to try
  • Drum turned by hand and felt OK
  • Noise was reported on slow or last few spin cycles
  • A stuck bra wire was found and removed from the outlet hole at the front of the washer

Hello. It's very difficult to diagnose noises without being able to hear them. Screeching noises are not that common. One possibility is if the belt is loose and slipping. Another one is the bearings in the motor although that is quite rare. Another screeching noise, possibly the most common is from the water pump. If it is the water pump then the screeching noise should be happening even when the drum stops rotating because the water pump runs continuously on spin. If the noise is definitely only present when the drum is turning and stops when it pauses at the beginning of the spin cycle then I would be suspecting the first two options. At the end of the day diagnosing and noisy washing machine is all about carefully observing the machine when it is making the noise and locating where it is coming from.

If by any chance the screeching noise is happening during the wash cycle and not the spin cycle which is what I have assumed there is sometimes a second pump called a recirculation pump. This pump recycles water back into the drum. It is possible for this pump to make loud noises to. However, the noises would be present during wash.

Many thanks for the update. It just goes to show the difficulty with noises. Underwire's from a bra usually make a scraping noise.
