The short answer
Find the leak before you name it. On a Beko washer the same puddle can come from a hose, a seal, a drawer or the load itself, and guessing which usually means replacing a part that was never wrong. Mop the floor dry, then watch one cycle in phases - the timing does the diagnosis for you.
What you observe
- Water at the front with fabric caught in the seal — The load is wicking water out. Not a fault.
- Damp behind the machine with nothing running — A supply hose or its connection at the tap.
- Water at the front during the wash, without foam — The door boot, usually torn at its lowest fold.
- Water under the middle after a cycle — The pump filter cap, the pump housing or the sump hose.
- NEAR MISS - the drum stays full — That is drainage; the drainage page covers it.
Causes, most likely first on this family
- Laundry trapped in the door seal — First, because it is free to check and looks exactly like a torn boot.
- Supply hose or its connection — Second, and the only leak that runs with the machine switched off.
- Torn or perished door boot — Third, and the leading mechanical leak on a front-loader.
- Detergent drawer overflowing — Fourth, from over-dosing or a siphon blocked with residue.
- Pump filter cap, pump housing or sump hose — Last, and the group that needs a panel off to separate.
Check in this order, and why
- Mop the floor completely dry — First, because old water makes a new leak impossible to place.
- Look right round the door seal before starting — Second. Trapped fabric explains a great many front leaks.
- Watch each phase of one cycle with a torch — Third, and it identifies the source without tools.
- Check the filter cap is seated and its seal clean — Fourth, especially if the filter was recently opened.
Before you open anything
Safety
Unplug the machine before removing any panel, and close both taps before disturbing a hose. Mop before working: water and a live appliance on a hard floor is a shock risk. Never run the machine with a panel removed to watch for a leak, and replace rather than re-use a hose whose fitting has cracked.

When to call a technician
Call when nothing is trapped, the hoses are dry, the boot and drawer are sound, the filter cap seals and water still appears, because what remains is inside the cabinet. Call immediately if water is reaching the electrical area at the base.

What this page generalizes over
This is the general Beko washer page for this symptom. The model list above is the program's own index entry for this line, and the guidance below holds across Beko washers rather than being tuned to one design. Where your machine's code matches one of the badged families listed here, that family's page is more specific and should be read in preference to this one.
