Beko WM5100W pressure switch wiring query after loom and panel replacement
- The problem
- The owner had replaced the wiring loom, front panel and pressure switch on a Beko WM5100W, then needed to know which wires went to the three pressure switch terminals.
- Likely cause
- The discussion supports a wiring identification problem rather than a confirmed component fault. It was noted that pressure switch wiring can vary between similar Beko machines, so generic photos should not be relied on.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to identify the correct terminal layout from the machine’s own wiring diagram, check for terminal markings on the pressure switch, compare with the original switch or loom if available, and use a continuity meter to identify the switched contacts. It was also advised to check that the pressure hose was fitted correctly and was clear and not split. No exact wire-to-terminal arrangement was confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Check the machine’s own wiring diagram inside the cabinet, behind the fascia, or attached to a side panel
- Check for terminal markings on the pressure switch body
- Compare the original switch or loom with the replacement parts
- Use a continuity meter to identify which terminals change state
- Check the pressure hose is fitted, clear and not split
- Parts or tools mentioned
- pressure switch
- wiring loom
- continuity meter
- pressure hose
Safety: Do not guess the pressure switch wiring. Isolate the washing machine from the mains before checking wiring. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi,
Be very careful here, because the pressure switch wiring can vary and getting it wrong can cause overfilling, no spin, or damage to the control circuit. Isolate the washing machine from the mains before checking any wiring.
A few sensible checks:
1. Do not rely on generic internet photos Even if it looks the same, Beko used different pressure switches and looms across similar models. The safest guide is the machine’s own wiring diagram, usually found inside the cabinet, behind the fascia, or attached to a side panel.
2. Identify the pressure switch terminals A 3-terminal pressure switch is usually a common, normally closed, and normally open arrangement, but I would not want to guess which pin is which on your exact part. The terminal markings may be stamped on the switch body itself, such as C, NC, NO, or numbered terminals.
3. Compare old and new parts If you still have the original switch or loom, compare terminal markings and wire positions directly. That is by far the best method.
4. Use a continuity meter With the tube disconnected and then gently blowing into the switch, check which terminals change state. That will tell you the common and switched contacts. Then match that to the machine wiring diagram.
5. Check the air tube as well Make sure the pressure hose is fitted, clear, and not split. A blocked or leaking tube will cause level faults even if the wiring is correct.
If you can post clear close-up photos of the switch terminals, wire colours, and any markings on the switch, I can help you narrow it down. If there is no wiring diagram, I’d strongly recommend a qualified appliance engineer rather than guessing, especially for mains-related wiring.
