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!
