Ticking sound when drum rotates clockwise
I have a brand new Beko WER860541W. We’ve had it for a week. Today it’s developed a ticking sound when the drum turns clockwise that i can only describe as similar to a ticking clock that speeds up and slows down as the drum turns. Oddly when it spins at fast speeds, the sound goes away. Other than the sound it works perfectly. I was just wondering if anyone could hazard a guess at what it could be and if it’s worth getting the engineer out. Thanks.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko WER860541W ticking noise on clockwise drum rotation
- The problem
- A nearly new Beko WER860541W developed a ticking or clock-like sound only when the drum turned clockwise during wash movement. The noise sped up and slowed with drum rotation and disappeared at high-speed spin. The machine otherwise worked normally.
- Likely cause
- The discussion suggested either a foreign object such as a bra underwire contacting the drum/tub area, or possibly a loose drum pulley. The underwire suggestion was weakened because the original poster said bras were washed in a pillowcase and later confirmed they were all accounted for and intact. No cause was confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The original poster decided to arrange a Beko engineer visit under guarantee. No completed repair or confirmed fix was reported in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Noise occurred only on clockwise drum rotation
- Noise disappeared during fast spin
- Machine otherwise operated normally
- Bras were checked and reported intact/accounted for
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Could it be an underwire from a bra stuck inside? That usually causes a clicking tapping sound as the drum revolves although it usually does it both ways.

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I don’t think it will be because they get washed in a pillowcase every time but the Mrs will check. It’s weird that it goes away when it spins fast as well. I think I’ll get Beko in to make sure. It’s an improvement on the Hotpoint we had to send back that had smoke in the drum so that’s something….
It could be a lose drum pulley tapping noise on spin

Thanks. I’ll get them in. The Mrs checked and all bras accounted for and intact. It’s under guarantee so shouldn’t be an issues.
Hey Dave. Did you get this sorted and if so you remember what was fixed/the cause of the issue? Ive just purchased a beko 2nd hand and does same thing. Works fine, spins fine but clicks as motor powers up when general washing.
