How to Solve Problems Causing Extended Washing Cycles?
If your Beko washing machine is taking too long to complete a cycle, it may be due to
common user errors or machine settings that aren't optimized for your laundry load. Below,
we offer a step-by-step guide to help you identify and fix these issues, ensuring a more
efficient washing cycle.
Step 1: Check Your Laundry Load
• Balance the Load: A single piece of clothing in the washer can cause imbalance.
Always try to wash a balanced load to prevent the washer from extending the spin
cycle to attempt to balance the load.
• Avoid Overloading: Overloading the washing machine can cause the door to not
close properly, leading to potential leaks and extended washing times as the
machine works harder to move the saturated clothes.
Step 2: Select the Appropriate Washing Program
• Fabric Compatibility: Use the washing program that matches the type of fabrics
you are washing. Different fabrics have different recommended load sizes and water
absorption rates.
Step 3: Use the Correct Amount of Detergent
• Measure Detergent According to Load Size: Too much detergent can create
excessive bubbles, making it harder for the machine to rinse and spin efficiently.
Conversely, too little may result in poorly cleaned laundry.
Step 4: Ensure Proper Placement of Small Items
• Secure Small Items: Check all pockets to ensure they are empty and use a laundry
bag for small items. This prevents items like coins from blocking the pump or
causing noise and other problems.
Step 5: Maintain Your Machine Regularly
• Check the Filter and Pump: Every three months, inspect your machine's filter and
pump for debris or blockage. This can significantly impact the efficiency of your
washing cycle.
Step 6: Adjust the Detergent Drawer
• Proper Detergent Placement: Ensure the detergent is placed in the correct
compartment of the drawer and is not overfilled to avoid issues during the wash
cycle.
By following these straightforward steps, you can enhance the performance of your Beko
washing machine and shorten lengthy washing cycles. Regular maintenance and correct
usage are key to keeping your appliance running smoothly. Remember, taking a few
minutes to prepare your laundry can save you time and trouble in the long run!
