Beko WMB61432S Washing Machine Starts After Slamming the Door
I have Beko WMB61432S washing machine. After selecting the program to wash or spin, the machine only starts after slamming the door several times. The last error code is E17 (over foaming), so could this be that the switch just inside the door is faulty?Many thanks for any help.
I will try and help with this problem about Beko WMB61432S Washing Machine,
Hi Adrian,
Sorry to hear about the problem with your Beko washing machine. Let me explain the door interlock and its related components.
If you have to slam the door to start the machine, it sounds like a bad contact on the door interlock. This could be a door lock fault, but sometimes it's because the pin or door hinge has dropped slightly, causing misalignment with the door interlock. If the pin doesn't align correctly, it won't activate the switch inside the door interlock, leading to problems.
Door locks often become faulty over time. If you've had an over-foaming incident (E17), an imbalanced load might have caused excessive vibration during a spin, potentially damaging the door lock. Door locks are not expensive to replace.
I've included a video below to help you replace the door interlock and an exploded diagram of your machine showing all components. Use the reference number from the diagram to match with the part number in the list at the bottom of the page. Check the alignment of the door first to see if there are any visible issues. Sometimes, a cracked or damaged door handle can prevent the pin from activating the door lock.
Inspect all components before ordering parts. If you need a new door lock, use the genuine part number listed below or your model number. We sometimes have second-hand parts, but new door locks are affordable and easy to get from our European supplier within a few days.
If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us. I've also included the workshop manual and error checklist with test procedures for door faults. The exploded workshop manual explains in detail all you need to know about door assembly and interlock.
I hope this helps you!
