Beko Oven: thermometer segments flashing

Professional Repair Guide

What is this symptom?

If your Beko Oven's thermometer segments are flashing, it may indicate a power interruption or an issue with the control board. Users often experience this after a power outage or when resetting the timer. The display may show unstable segments rather than a clear readout, signaling a need for attention to ensure accurate cooking performance.

Urgency: Medium

Important Tips for Beko Models

  • Beko support documentation specifically notes flashing clock symbol can be due to a reset after power outage and is normal until clock is set.
