What C01 actually means
C01 isn't a fault oown as you hold the buttons to switch the child lock on or off.
When you hold the 1st and 2nd auxiliary function buttons down for three seconds, the display counts "C03", "C02", "C01" \u2014 one per second. At the end you'll see "Con" if the child lock has been switched on, or "COF" if it has been switched off. So seeing C01 means the machine has registered your button press and is about a second away from changing the lock setting.
What C01 looks like on a Beko washing machine
Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Beko washing machine, C01 usually shows up as one or more of these:
- Machine door won't open
- Door won't lock or click shut
- Door lock light flashing
- Door stuck shut with the load inside
- Won't start even with the door closed
- C01 flashing on the display
- Beeping and showing C01
Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.
What usually causes it
- Someone holding the two auxiliary function buttons down long enough to toggle the child lock
- Cleaning around the control panel and pressing the buttons by accident
- Children pressing buttons on the panel
- Child lock left on from before \u2014 it survives a power cut or being unplugged
What you can safely check yourself
Work through these in order. Anything beyond this — panels off, testing parts, anything to do with the wiring — is an engineer's job, and not one to attempt with the machine plugged in.
- Look at what the display says after the countdown: "Con" means the lock is now on, "COF" means it's off
- To clear the child lock, hold the 1st and 2nd auxiliary function buttons for three seconds until "COF" appears
- If no programme is running, you can also turn the programme knob to On/Off and then select another programme to release the lock
- Remember the child lock stays set through a power cut, so unplugging the machine will not clear it
