It may not be the water supply, that’s just what I found based on a flashing light on a Beko. If you search with more specific information it might give you a different answer. Some of the options were for if the start button was flashing, for example.

I still think that your best bet is to post to a DIY community here and give as much information as you can, like which light is flashing and if there’s any writing or a symbol near it, what happens before and after you get any problems, like does the machine drain, or is the water trapped.

Any information could help someone to pinpoint the issue, even if they don’t have the exact model :)

Sorry, I’ve been busier than I expected.

I just searched for a blinking light on a Beko, and this was one of the suggested results:

Water supply issue

A flashing light or tap symbol on newer model washing machines could indicate a water supply issue.

The other suggestions had either error codes or specific buttons flashing.

Assuming that the water supply is ok, that could suggest a problem with the pump, or just the pipe. Double check the tap on the pipe, and that the pipe is not blocked or kinked first, as they are the easy fixes.

I don’t know how to test much with a multimeter, but my next step would be to unplug the machine and turn off the water, and check the water flow inside it. Look for any blockages or loose connections, being careful around the electrical components, just in case.

My washing machine has the water feed at the top of the back, and it feeds through the soap drawer, then into the drum. Those pipes are fairly narrow, so would be worth checking too 👍

Ah, I misunderstood. When you were talking about a multimeter, I thought you meant that you wanted to replace individual components.

It might be worth posting on one of the DIY communities and describing the symptoms and any error codes. Even though you’re unlikely to find someone with the same model, washing machines are all fairly similar, so you might be able to narrow it down to the likely part 🙂

Most appliances just have the main parts available for replacement, rather than the individual components. You would just change the main board rather than replace a resistor, for example.

If you don’t know how to find the broken component on a board, that’s not something that the service manual would help you with either. There’s too much of a risk of someone hurting themselves for the washing machine companies to go to that level of detail.

At that point you would need to figure out which part is broken and either replace the whole thing, or take it to a repair shop, but that would probably cost more than buying the whole part as a replacement.
