This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko WMI71641 stops at 5, 8 or 10 minutes near end of cycle
- The problem
- The Beko WMI71641 was reported to stall at 5, 8 or 10 minutes remaining on different programmes. It would sometimes stop instantly when starting a fast spin, and the poster later said that at 5 minutes it sounded like it was draining but was not, and the drum kept turning. Intermittently it could complete spin, end and drain, but then stick at 8 minutes on the next run.
- Likely cause
- The strongest diagnosis in the discussion was a faulty or open-circuit heating element, or a connection issue to the heater. The dark, sooty marking on the PCB was said to be commonly normal dirt attracted to warm components if it wipes off, rather than confirmed burning damage.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to check the heating element and its connections with a meter for an open circuit. The PCB discolouration was not treated as the primary fault unless it proved to be actual burning rather than wipeable dirt. The exact repair carried out was not confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Observed blackening/sooty deposit on the PCB
- Advised to check for connection issues at the heating element
- Advised to test whether the heating element is open circuit with a meter
- Reported intermittent ability to complete spin, end and drain
- Parts or tools mentioned
- heating element
- test meter
- carbon brush screw
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello. Getting stuck at the end of the wash cycle is often caused by an open circuit heating element so that's the first thing to check to see if there are any connection issues or if the heating element is open circuit or not with a test metre. Regarding the blackening and sucked on the PCB that is very normal and is often mistaken for burning. If it wipes off, it's just attracted dirt and muck usually around resistors that get hot during operation.

Ok will check that tomorrow would not effect the water being heated aswel though, and where can I find screw sizes for carbon brushes Iv managed to lose one
If the heater isn’t working the program can stick for a long time and then jump to near the end and stick. I’m not sure you’d be able to order screws you might have to just find something similar.

Strange thing is when it gets to five minutes it sounds like it’s draining but doesn’t just keeps going round in circles
