BEKO 7 kg Washing Machine.
Machine stopped in mid wash cycle. The fuse at the switch on the wall was blown. Replaced the entire switch but machine not coming on. No lights ziltch.
I don't know if there is a fuse in the actual machine - just wiring boards.
What should I do?

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko 7kg washing machine initially dead after wall socket fuse issue
- The problem
- The washing machine stopped mid-cycle and afterwards appeared completely dead with no lights. The wall switch/socket fuse had blown and the switch was replaced.
- Likely cause
- The strongest supported cause is a supply fault at the wall switch/socket rather than a confirmed internal machine fuse failure. The accepted reply states there is no main fuse inside the washing machine and suggests checking for another fuse in the supply arrangement.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was not to DIY trace an electrical fault and to have it checked with proper test equipment. The original poster then powered the machine from a different socket and confirmed the machine lights came on, indicating the appliance was at least receiving power from an alternative supply. No full repair to the washing machine itself was confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Wall switch/socket fuse had blown
- Wall switch was replaced
- Machine plug was tried in a different socket
- Machine lights came on when plugged into another socket
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Wall switch
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi. Fusing the electrics isn't something for DIY because you need a specialist meter to test and trace the fault (washing machine tripping electrics). There isn't a main fuse inside a washing machine. There could be inside the main PCB but that shouldn't stop the whole machine dead only stop it functioning. Lights should still come on. Make sure there isn't another fuse somewhere like on a main switch on the wall that supplies the main socket or inside an extension cable.

Thanks for the quick response. My electrician is busy elsewhere so will pop in when he's free. The machine blew the socket on the wall but have put the plug from the machine into a socket & lights are coming on on the machine now so I'll see better in the daylight - still got the top off the machine.
