There are many different error codes that can be displayed on a Beko dryer, and each of them indicates a different issue.
Here are some common Beko error codes that may be displayed and what they mean:
BEKO Dryer error codes
Remember to always unplug the dryer and exercise caution when attempting any repairs.

BEKO Dryer Test mode
Ensure that the drum is empty and the selector switch knob in on/off position before placing the dryer into test mode.
How to activate test mode:
Press and hold “Dryness Level” and “Start/Pause” button simultaneously, then turn the selector switch Knob 90° in a clockwise direction (4th program). Within 2 seconds, the buzzer will sound and the script SCn will be displayed to indicate that test mode has been successfully activated. By using the start/pause button, you can select or skip the next test cycle step.
Test cycle functions explained:
| Test cycle steps | Functions and behavior explained |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | display checking. 88:8 digits are displayed, and all LEDs are blinking. |
| Step 2 | software version checking. u03: The version of the software will be displayed. |
| Step 3 | software revision checking. r04/400: A revision of the software will be displayed. |
| Step 4 | software security number checking. 500: The security number of the software will be displayed. |
| Step 5 | software parametric checking. P01/r12: Revision of parametric software and its number are sequentially shown on display. |
| Step 6 | display re-checking. 88:8 digits are displayed, and all LEDs are blinking. |
| Step 7 | Displaying an error code: E00 will be shown on display when there is no error code, but if ECd or EXX appears, it indicates that there is an error and needs to be checked. Note: When you clear the error code from the control board, you will be able to continue with the test cycle steps, and in order to do so, you will have to turn the selector knob 90° clockwise (8th program) and at the same time return to its initial position (4th program). E00 will be displayed automatically to indicate that the error code has been successfully deleted. |
| Step 8 | door and heater sensors are checked. d25 and h45: door and heater sensor temperature readings will be displayed alternately, but if: The door NTC is an open circuit; d:OC will be displayed. The door NTC is a short circuit; d:SC will be displayed. The heater NTC is an open circuit; h:OC will be displayed. The heater NTC is a short circuit; h:SC will be displayed. |
| Step 9 | Motor rotation 1 checking: When Drr appears on display, the motor rotates in a clockwise direction, and after 3 seconds of opening the dryer door, the motor will stop. Then, put your hand on the moisture sensor to create a short circuit. The display should read “Sco” to confirm that the moisture sensor is working properly, but if “ScE” is displayed instead of “Sco”, turn off the appliance and reactivate the test mode. 1. Does the error code still occur on the second try? If the answer is yes, – Check the sensor wire harness connector and the moisture sensor. – Replace the components based on your reading and recheck again. 2. Does the error code persist? If that were so: – Check the main PCB and replace it if necessary. |
| Step 10 | Motor rotation 1 and secondary heater checking: When rHn appears on display, the motor continues to rotate in a clockwise direction, and the 1600-watt heater will be energized. |
| Step 11 | Motor rotation 1 and primary heater checking: rHH appears on display, the motor continues to rotate in a clockwise direction, and the heater of 2300 watts will be energized. |
| Step 12 | All components stop. StP will be displayed. |
| Step 13 | Motor rotation 2 and moisture sensor checking Soo: will be displayed, the motor rotates in a counterclockwise direction, and the moisture sensor reads open circuit, which should be! |
| Step 14 | All components stop. StP: will be displayed. |
| Step 15 | discovery of the last error codes. E00 or EXX will be displayed, and it can’t be deleted in this situation. |
| Step 16 | Test mode ends. END: will be displayed; the test cycle is complete; once the display returns to the time remaining indication, turn off the dryer. |
How to deactivate test mode:
- Turn off the appliance.
