Not starting Cycle
Hi Chaps,
Am new to the forum, I was wondering if you could give me some points on why my Beko WMB61431s won’t start. The display shows the time but does not start, I had a similar problem with the timer counting down and I replaced the bushes and this solved the problem. I have again replaced the bushes, but this time the problem still remains.
Hope you can help.
Regards
David

Hello. If the timer is counting down isn't that a delayed start feature?

What usually happens in the machine calls for water, then it drains and it starts.
but it’s not getting to this stage.
Think I have found the problem, the door switch is not being made, got a new one on order.
Sorry I just re-read your question. I didn't pick up on the timer counting down being a previous fault not this one. Yes the door lock is a common cause of a washing machine not working at all, but there are many others. Let us know if the new door lock fixes the fault.
