Possible Causes
Stuck or failed motor direction relay on PCB, Shorted motor winding, Wiring fault in motor circuit, Control board logic error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Do not operate the appliance with covers removed.
- Observe drum rotation: If the dryer runs, note whether the drum reverses direction as expected. Lack of reversal or erratic movement can indicate relay issues.
- Inspect motor wiring: Check the harness from the motor to the PCB for damage or loose connectors.
- Check motor windings: Measure resistance between motor terminals and compare with service data. A shorted winding can cause relay or PCB faults.
- Examine PCB relays: Look for heat damage around the motor relays. Clicking without motor movement may indicate stuck contacts.
- Replace faulty components: If the motor tests good, replace the main PCB or relay module as per Beko parts guidance. Motor replacement is required if windings are defective.
