BEKO 8kg Loose Top
The top has become loose on my washing machine and is therefore making a lot of noise when spinning, does anyone know if the fixing of the top should be by screws which I assume have become loose and fallen out or are there clips that should slot in place but have become weakened?
thanks
John

Beko washing machine top panel loose and rattling in spin
- The problem
- The top panel on a Beko 8kg washing machine had become loose and was making a lot of noise during spin. The owner suspected the rear fixings had come loose or fallen out.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is that the lid was no longer secured at the rear. The accepted reply states the lid normally locates under two front lugs and is held by two or three screws at the back. The owner then reported it looked as though the screws had come out of the rear lugs.
- What fixed it
- Refit the lid correctly under the front lugs and secure it with suitable rear metal screws. If the original screws are missing, the forum advice was to match replacements by borrowing a screw from the back panel as a template. A temporary anti-rattle measure suggested was folded cardboard under the lid sides if it was fitted correctly but still rattled.
- Checks to try
- Checked whether the lid was sitting under the two front lugs
- Checked whether the rear securing screws had come out of the rear lugs
- Checked that the missing screws were not visible inside the machine or on the floor
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Replacement metal screws for the lid rear fixing
- Back panel screw used as a template
- Cardboard pieces

The lid usually slots under 2 lugs at the front and is secured by 2 (or 3) screws at the back. If not under the lugs at the front you should be able to lift the lid up a little at the front. To remove a washing machine lid you usually remove the screws and then knock the lid back by hitting it with heel of hand at the front. If it is fitted correctly but still rattles try folding over a couple of pieces of cardboard and jamming them under the lid at the sides. It will stop the rattle for sure.

Thanks for this, it does look like the screws have come out of the lugs at the rear. However, I cannot see the screws inside or on the floor. Does anyone know where I could get the part number for these screws?
They are unlikely to be sold as spares. Just use any appropriately sized screws designed for metal. (not ones for wood). Borrow one from the back panel and see if it fits then use it as a template to find a couple of screws.
