Washing machine keeps turning at end of cycle...what's happening?
Hi, hope someone can help or advise with this.
Our Beko WTIK74111 washer completes a programmed cycle, but continues to turn the drum until a button is pressed (for hours after the cycle is programmed). This happens regardless of the type of programmed cycle.
Is this supposed to happen? Or is there something wrong with it?

Beko WTIK74111 drum continues turning after programme end due to crease guard feature
- The problem
- A Beko WTIK74111 completed its wash programme but kept turning the drum until a button was pressed, on all programme types. The user wanted to know if this was normal or a fault.
- Likely cause
- The most strongly supported diagnosis is that the machine's crease guard feature was operating. This turns the drum intermittently after the cycle finishes to help reduce creasing if laundry is left in the drum.
- What fixed it
- Check the instruction manual for the crease guard setting and disable it if preferred. The discussion indicates the manual shows this feature and that it can be turned off. No fault repair was described.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the wash programme completed normally
- Confirmed the drum continued turning after programme end until a button was pressed
- Behaviour occurred on all programme types
- Forum reply identified the behaviour as crease guard
- Manual reference was given indicating the feature can be turned off

Hi. This sounds like what's called crease guard. It may or may not be able to be turned off. Have a look for it in the instruction manual.
The idea is that if you put laundry in for a wash, and then don't take it out of the drum for hours after finishing, then laundry can become badly creased. So turning the drum every so often prevents this.
