The short answer
When this Beko dishwasher line finishes a cycle with water still in the sump, the machine has usually tried to drain and been stopped. The question is where — at the filter, at the impeller, or somewhere along the hose between the machine and the waste. Each is ruled out in minutes, and the order matters because the first two are free. With a single model under this name, the ranking below is the ranking for your machine rather than an average over a range.
What you observe on these models
- Water standing in the sump at the end of every cycle — An inch or so left over the filter, usually cloudy, with dishes that came out mostly clean.
- The machine hums but the water level does not move — The pump is being commanded and is drawing current, so the fault is mechanical rather than electrical.
- A gurgle at the sink each time the machine drains — The waste connection is restricted or the air gap is partly blocked, so the drain is fighting back.
- Dirty water appears in the tub between cycles — Waste water siphoning back down the hose, which is a hose-routing or check-valve fault rather than a pump fault.
- NEAR MISS — the tub is empty but dishes are wet — That is a drying complaint, not a drainage one, and it belongs on a different page.
Causes, most likely first on this Beko dishwasher line
- Kinked, looped or blocked drain hose — First, and the cheapest to rule out. A hose that has lost its high loop lets the waste siphon back, so the tub refills with dirty water while the pump is blameless.
- Blocked filter and sump screen — Next most likely on these models. This ranks first because it is the only cause that can be confirmed and cured in the same two minutes, with no tools at all.
- Drain pump impeller jammed — Third — worth checking once the two above are clean. Glass chips, fruit stones and soaked-off labels get past the filter, reach the impeller, and lock it without hurting the motor at all.
Check in this order, and why
- Follow the drain hose from the machine to the waste — Look for a kink behind the cabinet, check it still rises to a high loop, and squeeze along its length for the hard spot that grease leaves.
- Take the filter out and look at the sump under it — Twist it free, rinse it, and put a hand into the well beneath — most of what blocks a drain is sitting there and comes out with a finger.
- Reach the impeller through the sump opening — With the power off, turn the impeller by hand. It should spin freely. A hard stop is an object, and the object is usually visible once the light is right.
Before you open anything
Safety
Switch the machine off at its breaker before a panel comes off or a hand goes into the sump — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Shut the supply valve under the sink before disturbing a fitting, and never wedge the door interlock to watch a wash run.

When to call a technician
If the filter is clean, the impeller turns freely and the hose is clear, the next step is electrical testing of the pump and its circuit, and that is a service call on this Beko dishwasher line. Call straight away if water is backing up into the sink as well as standing in the machine — that is a house drain problem and it will not be cured by anything done to the appliance.
