Beko WMI61241 Integrated Washing Machine Light On Display Panel Does Not Work

June 20, 2024

I've been using my Beko WMI61241 integrated washing machine for a few years without any issues, but recently I've encountered a problem. When I turn on the machine, the light on the display panel comes on, but the display itself doesn't show anything. It's just blank. The machine doesn't seem to respond to any button presses either. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, but it hasn't made any difference.Could you please advise on what might be causing this issue and how I can fix it? Is there a way to reset the machine or do I need to look into getting it repaired?Thanks in advance for your help!

I will try and help with this problem about Beko WMI61241 Integrated Washing Machine,

Good morning, Kenneth. Sorry to hear about the issue with your washing machine. If the power light isn't coming on at the front, there are a few things you can check. First, you'll need a multimeter. Remove the lid of the machine and do a voltage test on the power cable entering the electrical suppressor. You should see 240 volts there.

Next, check the two wires coming out of the suppressor that go to the front of the machine. These wires either connect to the circuit board or pass through to the switch, which is part number 180 in the diagram below. This switch looks like the on-off button. Ensure that power is entering this switch correctly at 240 volts and also exiting at 240 volts when pressed. This should activate the circuit board.

The circuit board will have two wires from the switch that need checking too. If you've done all these tests and still have no display lighting up, you might have a problem with the circuit board, which can be quite expensive to replace.

I've included an exploded diagram and wiring diagram of your machine below to help diagnose the problem. There's also a useful video about intermittent faults on washing machines worth watching. It shows you where all the wires go and pin configurations on the circuit board. Check all connections to ensure there are no loose fittings.

You can open up the circuit board after disconnecting the machine and inspect for any blown connections or components like diodes or resistors, which are usually visible if damaged. This depends on your electrical skills.

There are workshop manuals that might help you understand more about your machine's components. Any parts I have in stock are listed at the bottom of this page, mostly second-hand from other machines. A full list of components with part numbers is also provided, which you can use for shopping on eBay, Amazon, or Gumtree for new or second-hand parts.

It's tough to diagnose exactly without seeing your machine, but following these basic tests should help identify the problem. Then you can decide if it's worth replacing the circuit board financially.

I hope this helps. The video I mentioned will explain things better than text alone.
