Drain fault — water not pumped out in time

Open the lower front access flap, place towels and a shallow pan, and slowly unscrew the drain filter
Clear lint, coins, and hair from the filter and feel inside the housing for a jammed impeller
Straighten the drain hose and confirm the standpipe height sits within the manual range
Run a spin-and-drain cycle — if the pump hums but no water moves, the impeller or motor has failed
Replace the drain pump if it is silent or the impeller spins freely without pumping
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Beko drain filters have a left-hand thread on some models and are easy to cross-thread. Snug it by hand only; an over-tightened filter cracks the housing and causes a slow leak that looks like a new fault.
