Understanding Service Menu Functions:
Below is a list of common functions you might encounter in the Beko dishwasher service menu and their general descriptions. Please note that the exact behavior of these functions might require a service manual specific to your model for full understanding.
| Service Menu | Description |
|---|---|
| HFT | Automated function test. Typically used for production line testing and generally not used in the field by users or standard service technicians. |
| IFT | Operator function test. Similar to HFT, this is primarily for manufacturing or advanced service diagnostics and is generally not used in the field. |
| SFT | Service Function Test. Pressing Play/Pause will start a test cycle that runs through and checks the major components of the dishwasher. Note: During the SFT, you may need to press the Play/Pause button at certain points to allow the test to continue as it waits for internal checks. |
| EEP | Factory reset function. Pressing Play/Pause will reset the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) values to their factory defaults and clear stored error codes from the control panel. The display may show “rSt” to confirm the reset. |
| Dno | Showroom function. This mode is likely used for display purposes in a retail environment and may demonstrate certain features without running a full cycle. |
| mb | Displays the main board software version. |
| Db | Displays the display board software version. |
| Bb | Displays the button board software version. |
Exiting the Service Menu:
To exit the service menu and return to normal operation:
- Press and hold the On/Off button.
- Continue to hold the button until the display counts down (e.g., 3, 2, 1) and the appliance switches off.
Remember, if you are unsure about any of the service menu functions or if your dishwasher is experiencing significant issues, it is always best to consult your Beko dishwasher’s user manual or contact an authorized Beko service technician for assistance.
