I am writing on behalf of a friend who bought this washing machine second hand. She says that it is taking up to 4 hours to complete a wash. Not only that but it will use only 1 programme, Intensive 40 degrees. It takes a great deal of water to complete a wash.
She really cannot afford a new one and I wonder if anyone here has encountered such a problem with Beko 6 machines and if there is any solution.
Thank you for reading

Beko 6 kilo washing machine taking up to 4 hours and overfilling likely due to siphoning
- The problem
- A second-hand Beko 6 kilo washing machine was reported to take up to 4 hours to complete a wash, use a large amount of water, and apparently only run on the Intensive 40°C programme.
- Likely cause
- The accepted diagnosis was an installation problem causing the machine to siphon water away down the drain. If the drain hose is fitted too low, water can slowly run out while the machine continues topping up, leading to very long cycle times and excessive water use.
- What fixed it
- Check the drain hose installation and correct its height/position if it is too low and allowing siphoning. The discussion did not confirm the exact repair being carried out or the final result after adjustment.
- Checks to try
- Observed very long wash time of up to 4 hours
- Observed high water usage
- Accepted advice to check whether the machine spends a lot of time filling with water
- Check whether the drain hose is installed too low and allowing water to siphon out

It may well be siphoning water out down the drain due to an installation problem. If the drain hose is too low water can siphon out causing the washing machine to constantly fill with water only to lose it slowly and after keep topping it up. If the washing machine is taking a long time to complete the cycle but seems to spend a lot of time filling up with water this is a common cause - Washing machine constantly filling and siphoning out water
