Beko Washing Machine Heaters: Information, Faults, and Tips

What Does the Heater Do?
The heater in your Beko washing machine warms the water during wash cycles, helping to remove stains and clean clothes effectively. It works alongside a temperature sensor (known as the NTC sensor) to keep the water at the correct temperature throughout the cycle.

Common Heater Faults and What They Mean

No Hot Water During Wash
If the heater fails, the machine may still run, but clothes won’t get properly cleaned. Washes may feel cold, take much longer than usual, or fail to finish at all.

Stuck on Wash Cycle
A faulty heater often causes the machine to get “stuck”, waiting for water to heat up—but it never does. This leaves the wash cycle running endlessly.

Tripping Your Electrics
If the heater is short-circuited or leaking, it can trip your home’s fuse board soon after the cycle begins.

Error Codes on Display
Some Beko models show error codes like E01 or E02 when there’s a heating fault. These codes may point to the heater or the NTC sensor.

Diagnosing a Heater Fault

  • If your machine isn’t heating or is stuck mid-cycle, use a multimeter to test the heater. A working unit usually reads 20–50 ohms.

  • Check for error codes on the display—consult your user manual or Beko’s support website for code meanings.

  • Inspect the heater wiring and sensor connections. Loose or damaged wires can also prevent proper heating.

How to Replace a Faulty Heater

  1. Unplug the appliance for safety before starting

  2. Remove the back panel—the heater is usually located at the base of the drum

  3. Take a photo of the wiring setup for reference later

  4. Disconnect the wires and slightly loosen the centre nut

  5. Tap the bolt gently to break the seal, then remove the heater

  6. If it’s stuck, use a flat-bladed screwdriver to ease it out

  7. Lubricate the new heater’s seal with a little washing-up liquid for smoother fitting

  8. Insert the new heater, reconnect the wires, and secure everything

  9. Replace the back panel and run a test wash to check for leaks or errors

How to Prevent Heater Problems

  • Run a hot wash (60°C or above) once a month with a machine cleaner to break down limescale

  • Avoid overloading the drum, which can put stress on the heater and reduce efficiency

  • If you live in a hard water area, consider using a limescale prevention product
