Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.
What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?

Thanks. I had to translate it. It’s a troubleshooting guide for some common issues, but not my issue. I have the user manual for my model which has a troubleshooting table but it is not useful here.

Nothing here for your specific model, but you might have luck asking there?
https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/are-online-download-sites-for-manuals-reliable.732804/ Conversation here makes me think it's a legit source of manuals.
Thanks for the references. Looks dicey though. I thought maybe this archive might give docs that are close enough to my model, but I could not get past the CAPTCHA. It also looks like a lot of docs on that site are in a cryllic language. But I appreciate your effort nonetheless. If I seem to have no other option I might try to get around the CAPTCHA somehow.
Youtube is also rough going. There seems to be an ocean of useless Beko review videos and not much on repairing. Youtube’s protectionism makes them quite hard to use lately but if I can get past the obsticles I might look for repair videos on machines other than Beko and see if any of them help well enough.
There’s a point where it will be easier to toss the machine and get another but so far I’m trying to resist that.
Good luck! I don't blame you for not downloading from sketchy looking places.
The youtube search problem is a shame. Five years ago i had trouble with my washing machine and found a video of a guy with the exact model and exact issue with agitation. Youtube used to be good for that.
