Beko washing machine spin cycle hangs and door remains locked
- The problem
- The washing machine would not complete the spin cycle and appeared to keep spinning. The door then stayed locked and would not open, even some time after switching off.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says the most likely cause depends on how the door feels: if there is resistance and it feels genuinely locked, the door lock is likely jammed. A broken door catch or door was also mentioned as a possibility if nothing engages when the handle is pulled. If the door opens after being disconnected from the mains for five minutes, the PCB may be wrongly keeping the door lock activated.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was reported. The accepted advice was to distinguish between a broken door catch/door and a jammed door lock by the feel of the handle, and to see whether the door releases after the machine has been disconnected from the mains for five minutes. The exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Checked whether the door handle felt like nothing was engaging or whether it felt genuinely locked with resistance
- Checked whether the door would open after being disconnected from the mains for five minutes
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello Andrew. If the door won't open and you feel like nothing is really engaging when you try then it could be something broken on the door catch or door itself. But if you can feel that it is actually locked and you can feel resistance to opening, then it is more likely that the door lock itself is jammed. If by any chance the door will open after being disconnected from the mains for five minutes then it could be a problem caused by the door lock being erroneously activated by the PCB. I have an article about door jammed issues although it can't contain specific instructions only general - door jammed shut on washing machine
