Hey

I have a Beko washing machine: wm 6123W.

Firstly, the drain pipe of the washing machine got torn; i wasted days to find a drain pipe suitablle for this machine. After replacing it, buying the remaining hoses etc...and turning on the machine, water leaked from the bottom. It is not from the pipe i did replace , nor from the inlet hose. It seems it is coming down from the hose coming out of the pump which from i recall should be connected nowhere.

I am attaching images of this hose;

if someone can help me to fix this problem. i check the in -oses to the pumps, they seems all fine. for some reason, water is coming out of the hose showing in the images....

Beko WM 6123W leaking from emergency drain hose at the bottom

The problem
After replacing a torn drain pipe on a Beko WM 6123W, the machine leaked water from a black hose at the bottom when filling. The owner confirmed the leak was not from the replaced drain pipe or the inlet hose.
Likely cause
The black hose was identified from the machine manual as the emergency draining hose, and it appeared to be missing its stopper/plug, allowing water to escape. This diagnosis is well supported, but the final repair was not confirmed in the thread.
What fixed it
Recommended action was to fit the correct stopper/bung to the end of the emergency drain hose and place the hose back in its chassis channel/holder position. The owner ordered the Beko stopper, but no follow-up confirmation was posted to confirm the leak was cured.
Checks to try
  • Owner checked that the hoses to the pump seemed fine
  • Leak was observed from the black hose at the bottom when the machine started filling
  • Owner checked the manual and identified the hose as the emergency draining hose
  • Forum replies noted that a hose connected to the pump and going nowhere should have a bung in the end
Parts or tools mentioned
  • Beko stopper plug/bung for the emergency drain hose
  • Cable tie was suggested if needed to retain the bung

Can't work much out from the photos, I don't recognise the long black hose, looks more like a really old style fill hose. Any hose connected to the pump which doesn't go anywhere would be a draining hose and should have a bung in the end?

The pics are very small, but that's a lot better. A hose that size should be connected to something surely? The "draining" hose I referred to is usually very thin and can be accessed by the customer from a pump filter door.

I can't see anywhere where to connect it. May be it is meant to evacuate a steam? When the w.m starts filling up, water leaks out from this hose however. But there is nowhere to connect it....

Thanks, Andy. I have just found out from page 35 of the W.M manual, see http://downloads.beko.co.uk/bekoupload/manuals/WM6123%20IB.pdf

that that hose is actually an emergency draining hose which should have a plug to get clogged.and should seat somewhere...no idea where to get that plug...any help, please?

That's what I said in my first reply kikou only I've not seen one that big before. Check through all the Beko WM6123 spare parts on 4Washerhelp, if you can't find it send in a parts query from 4Washerhelp.

It looks like it has to be the missing one. If it fits snug and tight it should be ok. I don't think there's a lot of pressure in that hose, only gravity pressure from the water above. The part I highlighted as a possible is still only a plastic bung. If the bung fits nice and tight it looks like it's the missing one. However, if it came out before...

Dry the hose out with paper towels before fitting it and maybe fit a cable tie over it at the end. Make sure you don;t fit it so that it squeezes the bung out though. Alternatively cut an inch off the hose to get fresh hose, which may give a tighter fit. As you suspect, if the bung came off it would flood badly.

It looks like the hose just lays in the chassis channel. The blue stopper just looks like it has a handy design to assist pulling it out.
