What does the Beko E03 error code mean?

The E03 error is a drainage fault. It means the machine cannot empty the water from the drum within the required time. This is most frequently caused by a blockage in the filter or pump.

How to fix the Beko E03 error code

  1. Cancel the current cycle and try to run a separate ‘Drain’ or ‘Spin’ programme.
  2. Unplug the machine and place towels on the floor. Open the filter cover at the bottom-front of the machine.
  3. Slowly unscrew the pump filter to drain the water. Remove the filter and clear any debris like coins, hairpins, or fluff.
  4. Look inside the filter housing and check if the pump impeller (the small fan) can spin freely.
  5. Check the drain hose at the back for kinks or blockages where it connects to your under-sink plumbing.
