The short answer
A leak on the Beko washer line whose series the parts list never named is read from the base tray upward. On these machines every path — fill, wash and drain — drains forward across the same tray, so the puddle always appears at the front and the phase rather than the position is what identifies the source.
What you observe
- The leak only happens on the rinse — Level-dependent leaks point at the door boot or the tub lip rather than at a hose.
- The leak is worse on a hot wash — Temperature-dependent leaks point at a seal or a hose clip rather than at a crack. What separates the Beko washer line whose series the parts list never named here is the order, not the parts.
- Water appears at the front of the machine during a cycle — The puddle arrives while the drum is turning and stops when the cycle does. That timing is the most useful clue on the page.
- The door boot has a tear or a trapped object in its fold — A coin or a wire in the boot fold cuts it on every rotation. The leak follows the tear and shows at the bottom of the door.
- Suds are escaping from the detergent drawer — Foam at the drawer face is a dosing or a blockage problem, not a seal problem.
- NEAR MISS — the machine will not drain and water sits in the drum — That is a drainage fault and the standing water is its symptom, not a leak. The drainage page covers it.
- NEAR MISS — condensation under a machine in a cold room — A cold garage or an unheated utility room produces a film of water under the cabinet that is not a leak at all.
What is most likely, and why
- A hose under strain behind the machine — Ranked first on this platform. A machine pushed hard into a tight space pulls its hoses straight and loads the fittings, which then weep. The Beko washer line whose series the parts list never named is no worse than its siblings here, but it is no better either.
- A torn or debris-cut door boot — Then this. The boot is the wettest seal in the machine and the one that meets foreign objects. A tear in it leaks during wash and not during drain.
- A cracked detergent drawer housing — Third most likely. Housing cracks leak during fill only and they never show at the drawer face, which sends owners looking in the wrong place. On these machines this is the check that decides the job.
- A leaking drain hose or its connection — Less common than the three above. The hose leaks under pump pressure and only then, so it is dry to the touch when you go looking for it.
- A door glass seal that has been distorted by heat — Near the bottom of the list. Repeated hot washes harden the boot and it loses its ability to close against the glass at the top of the door.
What to check first, second, third
- Pull the machine out and leave it out for a cycle — Position-dependent leaks are hose strain and nothing else.
- Remove and clean the detergent drawer and its housing — Pull the drawer right out, wash it, and brush the housing above it clear of set powder. It is worth knowing that these machines share this layout.
- Note which programme produces the leak — Programme and fill level together localise a marginal seal.
- Smell the water — Detergent means wash water and rules out the inlet side entirely.
Safety first
Safety
Isolate the machine and close the water supply before anything is opened. The door lock keeps the drum shut while it is spinning and it is part of the machine’s safety design, so it stays as it is. Expect water at every hose you open and plan the floor for it.
Where the owner line is
Stop and call if the leak is hot, if it smells of burning, or if the floor covering has started to lift. Everything else on this page can be worked through over a weekend.
