Beko Dryer: not pumping water

Professional Repair Guide

What is this symptom?

Is your Beko dryer running and heating but failing to pump water? You may notice that the water reservoir remains empty or the water tank light flashes, indicating a problem with water transfer. This common issue can stem from a faulty condenser pump or electrical malfunction, preventing proper drainage.

Urgency: Medium

Important Tips for Beko Models

Some Beko models with error code E07 indicate condensate pump or water level faults when drainage fails.

Possible Causes

Faulty or failed condenser pump

How to Identify: No water is pumped to the water tank or drain despite heating and moisture in the dryer; pump makes no noise during expected drain cycle.

Part: Condenser pump / condensate pump motor

Electrical or control issue preventing pump activation

How to Identify: Pump tested directly could fail to receive voltage though the pump motor itself is okay; no pump activation despite system calls for drainage.

Part: Control board or wiring to pump
