Beko WTL94151B power cycling on and off and clicking noise
Hi There,
At a bit of a loss - we bought a new BEKO WTL94151B about 3-4 weeks ago
as of last night it started making a weird clicking noise , like the door lock is constantly trying to lock. I shut the door thinking that was the issue and it went off, clicking stopped.
today the machine powered up for a second then dies. I used the manual release to unlock the door. When we put the power back on then it starts up, then turns off then on again, doing this constantly - at the same time the door lock is constantly clicking.
I guess its a faulty machine - but no idea if its a software fix or its a new machine?
any advice would be great
thanks

Beko WTL94151B cycling power and door lock clicking due to failed capacitor and PCB
- The problem
- A nearly new Beko WTL94151B washing machine began making repeated clicking noises from the door lock area. It would power up briefly, then switch off and back on repeatedly while the door lock continued clicking.
- Likely cause
- Confirmed component failure within the machine’s electronics. A Beko engineer replaced a capacitor and a PCB, and reportedly suggested one failure may have caused the other, though the exact root cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Initial forum advice was to try a different wall socket and check that the door seal was securely fitted around the door rim, in case of a supply issue or door latch/lock engagement problem. The confirmed repair was a Beko engineer visit, during which a capacitor and PCB were replaced.
- Checks to try
- Tried the machine on a completely different wall socket
- Checked that the door seal was fitted securely around the door rim
- Used the manual release to unlock the door
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Capacitor
- PCB
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello there. The only things you could try is plugging the washing machine into a completely different wall socket, and making sure that the door seal is fitted securely around the door rim. The former could cause problems due to a power supply problem and the latter could prevent the door latch mechanism from activating the door lock properly. But other than that yes it must be a fault that needs looking at. Please let us know how you get on. It's very unusual for a new washing machine to break down so soon.

Just an update - Beko engineer attended this afternoon - had to replace two components, one was a capacitor and the other was a PCB.
he suggested one caused the other, but unsure why it happened. I asked if it was unusual for a 3 week old machine to need two components replacing, he said he had never seen a new range go after 3 weeks
anyway its all fixed now - im a little nervous with a new machine needing new parts straight away..........
Thanks for the update. Yes it’s very unusual and disappointing for it to have failed so soon.
