Why is there detergent residue in the detergent drawer of my Beko WMY 81283 SLB2?

  Christy JonesSep 5, 2025
  If there's detergent residue in the detergent drawer of your Beko Washer, the drawer might have been wet when you added the detergent; dry the drawer before adding detergent. The detergent itself may have gotten damp; keep detergents closed in a dry environment and avoid excessive temperatures. Low water pressure or blocked holes in the detergent compartment can also cause residue; check the water pressure and clean the holes if they are clogged. Also, make sure that you are not mixing the softener with detergent and that you regularly clean the drum.

Why is the laundry turning gray after washing in my Beko WMY 81283 SLB2?

  If your laundry is turning gray after washing in your Beko Washer, you may not be using enough detergent over a long period. Use the recommended amount for your water hardness and laundry load. Washing at low temperatures for too long can also cause this. Insufficient detergent with hard water causes soil to stick to clothes, turning them gray. Using too much detergent may also cause this issue. Once graying happens, it's difficult to reverse.

  If the programme time isn't counting down on your Beko Washer (on models with a display), the timer may stop during water intake until the machine takes in enough water. The timer may also stop during the heating step until the machine reaches the selected temperature. Additionally, the timer may stop during the spinning step if the automatic unbalanced load detection system is activated.

  If stains persist or laundry isn't whitened after washing in your Beko Washer, you might not be using enough detergent. Use the recommended amount for your water hardness and laundry load. Avoid overloading the machine and load with recommended amounts. Ensure you select the proper programme and temperature for the laundry. Use the correct type of detergent and put it in the correct compartment. Do not mix bleaching agents and detergents.

  If laundry becomes stiff after washing in your Beko Washer, it could be due to using insufficient detergent for the water hardness. Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Also, make sure you are putting detergent in the correct compartment. Do not mix the softener with detergent, and wash and clean the dispenser with hot water.

Why do clothes smell unpleasantly after washing in my Beko WMY 81283 SLB2?

  Jason BoydSep 12, 2025
  If clothes smell unpleasant after washing in your Beko Washer, odours and bacteria layers may have formed on the drum from continuous washing at lower temperatures or in short programmes. Leave the detergent drawer and loading door ajar after washing to prevent a humid environment. Avoid overloading the machine. Ensure the detergent in use is not damp; keep detergents closed in a humidity-free environment and avoid excessive temperatures.
