Beko Not spinning, only by hand
I have a beko washer/dryer. It fills, drains and spins by hand however when It tries to spin it’s like it gets stuck and it rocks and then doesn’t spin. I’ve tried everything by hand and checked the belt and everything looks okay.
any other suggestions to get it to spin again?
many thanks

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko washer/dryer will not spin under power but turns by hand
- The problem
- A Beko washer/dryer fills and drains normally, and the drum can be turned by hand, but when it attempts to spin it only rocks and does not accelerate into spin. The belt was checked by the owner and was reported as looking okay.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggests a fault with the electronics/PCB, a poor connection, or the motor. Another forum reply mentioned a capacitor, but this was based on experience with dryers rather than confirmed for this washer/dryer, so it is only a possible explanation.
- What fixed it
- No DIY repair was confirmed. The accepted advice was that the fault was likely in the electronics, wiring connection, or motor and was not really suitable for DIY. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Drum/drive was turned by hand and could spin manually
- Belt was checked and appeared okay
- Machine fills normally
- Machine drains normally
- During spin attempt the drum rocks but does not spin up
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Could be a problem with the electronics on a PCB or even a poor connection somewhere or the motor. It’s not really something for diy.

Sounds very much like the dryer capacitor to me. Have had these exact symptoms on numerous dryers (not washer dryers though) and a replacement capacitor fixed it every time.
