Beko WME8227W

i have owned this machine for nearly 3 years with no faults today,put a wash on an about ten minites later caught fire on a quick wash,luckly we was in an not out or in bed as this would of been fatal.email beko to let them know,hopefully they will investegate or do a recall,just have to let everyone know to avoid any risk to life.

I won this washing machine in a competition about 2 years ago. As my old machine was about 10 years old I decided to continue using it until it died and then install the Beko.

I have now installed the Beko and used it 3 times. It takes forever to wash anything as it keeps going into 'pause'. I have to press the button to start it again. A wash which should have taken 1h40 took over 3 hours.

It looks like I will have to buy another machine as it is obviously outside any warranty.

This is a shame as it looks nice and it is very quiet compared to my old machine which could be heard and felt over the whole house on the spin cycle.

I don't know if it is worth trying to get it repaired as electronic faults can be expensive.

Beko suggest it could be caused by low voltage or low water pressure which is unlikley as the last machine coped and I have good water pressure to all my taps.

I have given a poor value for money rating as I would be terrible had I had to pay for it.

This washing machine was great for about 2 years! Now it won't wash or spin and the timers won't count down. It just puts water in and then drains it away a few minutes later. Totally useless for washing laundry. Such a shame and a waste of money. I am now looking for a new machine and a different brand.

We've had this machine just over 2 years, only two of us is no heavy usage, it's predessor lasted for years. The other day After a cycle had finished I opened and noticed a strange fishy type of smell combined with oily smell and noticed washing Machine had moved several inches out from its normal place! We checked it and reward the laundry watching closely. Used a couple of times more no problem, today it's happened again, after spinning that smell and a heat coming from inside after cold water rinse. Looked it up on Internet and notices the problems experienced / now have to buy a new machine as this is potentially lethal! I gave grandchildren visit. Heard of this machine exploding when not in use. My advice - do not buy, up until last week I was impressed with it. No more!

I purchased this machine and after three days the GLASS IN THE DOOR SHATTERED all over my kitchen floor for no reason???? Luck for me this happended at night and not when my 5/6 year old's were stood infront of it.It does not bear thinking about.

This product should be recalled.

I purchased from Dixons and it took me all day to get someone to listen to me. My clothes are ruined and I have declined the offer of a replacement. An absolute death trap waiting to happen. Why has this not hit the news!!!

Its quite obvious that the good reviews for this machine are false. It is that good a product that Beko Uk have stopped supplying it direct. Not only is it a death trap .They do not want anything to do with those units already sold . The spares dept are not very helpful , you cannot get any technical info from the because that would make them liable if any one got injured and the one we have does a Belly dance inside its housing . Absolute rubbish!!!!!!!!

If you are unfortunate to have the door blow out . 1 . photograph or video it 2. call the police and 3. contact trading standards as soon as possible . Those of you who have had the door problem should do this now if you already have not done so. These machines should all be recalled A S A P before some gets killed.

This has just happened to us, on saturday morning, our washing machine got louder and louder making a 'thudding' noise, as my mum walked over to it asking whats that noise, and as it got much louder she pressed the power button and held it in and the power went off, then a massive bang! the glass exploded all over our floor even reaching the other end of the room and hitting the ceiling! luckily with only a couple of scratches on my arm, my mum wasnt hurt, but it was bad enough! the clothes inside are mostly ruined! BEKO said that if we have the reciept they can send a repair person to come and check the damage and the parts will be replaced but WE have to pay for the labour...surely this isnt our fault? what on earth can cause any washing machine to do this? We'd never seen anything like it, but when i started looking online, it became clear that this isnt too rare! ESPECIALLY as its the same model that ive heard about! If anyone has advice please reply!

Had this machine for a year. Bearings have gone - will cost more than I paid for the machine to repair it as parts not readily available being too new. Beko do not want to know. Would not recomment.

I bought this machine from Tesco Direct, I had been told to go for a slower spin cycle as it would last longer so I thought the 1200 would be great along with the large load capacity especially with having 4 young children. To begin with it was great especially with having the quick washes. However after 10 months the washing was coming out soaking wet and full of soap powder. Had an engineer out who replaced 2 parts, 3 days later same happened again, had engineer out again and apparently the problem is now my fault as a quick cycle does not rinse the machine fully so causes a build up of powder and I am not putting enough washing in which unbalances the machine and therefore does not spin properly (even though I never had this problem for the first 10 months). I have been back in touch with Beko and Tesco and all they will do is send an engineer out again and will not replace machine as apparently nothing is wrong with it! Would not reccommend and will not be buying another Beko appliance or an electrical appliance from Tesco Direct.

I bought the machine from Tesco Direct in April 2011 and on the 23 Sept 2011 I placed a light load of pajamas and two towels into the machine. When the machine started to spin there was a loud thudding noise . When I walked into the kitchen to investigate the glass on the front door of the machine exploded across my kitchen and into my living room which is many feet away. Please do not buy this machine it is a death trap and as ive seen on this forum iam not the only one this as happened to. Iam currently trying to resolve this situation with Tesco and Beko but know one wants to know. I will keep you informed.
