In order to start disassembling the Beko washing machine, you need to remove the cover of the upper part of the unit. Its fasteners are centered on a few bolts located at the back.

The dispenser is removed next - for this purpose, you need to press the point in the center of the plastic tray, and then pull it towards you. Next, unscrew the screws that fix the control panel. The latter is carefully separated and laid on top of the machine. After that, remove the bottom panel by removing the bolts securing it.

The next to remove the hatch cuffs made of rubber. To do this, open the door, remove the fixing clamp. To remove it, you need to use pliers, a screwdriver, round-nose pliers.

Replacing bearings in a Beko washing machine is a fairly simple procedure. Reasons to start checking and replacing a part:

• hum that occurs when the drum rotates;
• the presence of backlash;
• during spinning, the unit makes a lot of noise, knocks.

You can also go to the store with the bearings removed, asking the specialists to sell identical ones.

Preventive cleaning of the drain filter is never superfluous. Debris and dirt that gets trapped on the screen will prevent the tank from filling up with liquid correctly.

A thermoelectric heater is the part that breaks more often than others. The cause of this trouble can be scale, which was formed from poor quality water. With an excessive amount of it, the machine does its job poorly due to the fact that the scale does not give off heat well. Heating elements, which do not have the ability to give off their heat, will soon burn out. The fact that the heating element has broken down in the unit is usually indicated by the breakdown code on the display - H2, H3. To replace a part, it is worth following these steps sequentially.
