Possible Causes

Partially clogged inlet filter screen, Restricted household water line to Beko unit, Failing water inlet valve, Scale buildup in internal water channels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water supply and unplug the unit before disconnecting hoses.

  • 1. Check household water pressure:
    • Ensure other taps in the home have strong flow.
    • If overall pressure is low, consult a plumber.
  • 2. Inspect and clean inlet filter:
    • Disconnect the water hose from the back of the ice maker.
    • Remove and rinse the small mesh filter in the valve inlet.
  • 3. Examine water hose:
    • Look for kinks, crushed sections, or inline filters that may be clogged.
    • Replace the hose if damaged or internally scaled.
  • 4. Descale internal water path:
    • Follow Beko's instructions for descaling using an approved descaling solution.
    • Run a cleaning cycle to flush mineral deposits from the reservoir and channels.
  • 5. Replace water inlet valve if weak:
    • If fill times remain long and cubes are small, install a new Beko water inlet valve assembly.
  • 6. Reset E12:
    • After restoring normal water flow, clear the error via the control panel.
