How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before tipping or moving it.
- Step 1 – Check load: Ensure the drum is not overloaded and that heavy items are evenly distributed. Remove some items if necessary.
- Step 2 – Level the machine: Adjust the front and rear feet so the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock. Tighten lock nuts.
- Step 3 – Inspect shocks: Remove the rear or side panel to view the shock absorbers. Look for oil leakage, broken mounts, or excessive play. Replace shocks in pairs with Beko-compatible parts.
- Step 4 – Check springs and tub hangers: Inspect the top suspension springs and plastic hangers for stretching or breakage. Replace if damaged.
- Step 5 – Test spin: After reassembly, run a spin-only cycle with a moderate load to confirm noise reduction.
