Beko machines usually show an H-prefixed code (like H5) or an E-code depending on the model line; some older models blink programme lights in a sequence that maps to a number. Beko publishes code tables in its support pages.
| Code | Meaning | Severity | First action |
|---|---|---|---|
| H5 | Drain fault | Usually fixable at home | The machine has not drained within the expected time. |
| H3 | Heater fault | Engineer needed | The water is not heating as expected — heater or thermistor fault. |
| H1 | Thermistor fault | Engineer needed | The temperature sensor is not reading correctly. |
| E01 | Door lock fault | Usually fixable at home | The door is not detected as locked, so the programme will not start. |
| H2 | Heater relay fault | Engineer needed | The control board cannot switch the heater circuit on. |
Safety first
Unplug before any check. Never open panels beyond the filter flap. Anything involving internal wiring, the heater or gas must go to a professional — see each code page for its "call a professional when" line.
