What is actually happening
Constant bleeping is a fault warning rather than a fault in itself — the machine has stopped and is trying to tell you why. On most makes the pattern of flashing lights, or a code in the display, identifies it. Count the flashes and note any code before switching it off, because that reading is the fastest route to the right part.
The Servis fault codes that point at this
A Servis washing machine will usually tell you what it thinks is wrong before anyone opens it up. These are the codes we hold for this make that relate to beeping or bleeping:
- E01 — The machine can't confirm the door is shut and locked, so it won't start.
- E02 — The machine isn't getting enough water in the time it expects, so it has stopped the programme.
- E03 — The machine can't get the water out — the drain pump isn't doing its job, so it has stopped with a drum full of water.
- E04 — There's more water in the machine than there should be, so it has started draining to stop a flood.
- E05 — The machine can't tell how hot the water is, so it has stopped rather than heat blindly.
- E06 — The machine has lost the signal that tells it how fast the drum motor is turning, so it has stopped rather than spin blind.
- E09 — The machine has spotted that the mains electricity reaching it is outside the range it will run on, so it has stopped rather than risk damage.
- E10 — The machine can't get a sensible reading from the sensor that tells it how much water is in the drum, so it has stopped.
If yours is showing one of those, that is a much shorter conversation than a general fault — tell us the code when you book and the engineer can often carry the part.
The usual causes on a Servis washing machine
- A drain fault — the most common reason a machine stops and bleeps
- A door lock fault, where the machine cannot confirm the door is shut
- A fill or water-level fault
- A heating or sensor fault reported as a code
What you can safely check yourself
- Write down the code shown, or the pattern of flashing lights, before you switch it off
- Check whether there is water left in the drum — that points straight at draining
- Look up the code on our error-code pages, which cover 708 codes across 24 makes
Still beeping or bleeping?
If the checks above have not sorted it, it needs looking at properly. £66 including VAT for an engineer to come out and diagnose it, or £84 in total including VAT if it is put right on the visit and no parts are needed. Any parts needed are quoted on site before we fit them — you decide. Every repair carries a 90-day workmanship guarantee.
Our engineers work on Servis machines week in, week out, so they arrive knowing the machine rather than reading the back of it. Local engineers across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.

Common questions
Why is my Servis washing machine beeping or bleeping?
The machine is bleeping repeatedly, usually with a light flashing, and has stopped mid-cycle. Constant bleeping is a fault warning rather than a fault in itself — the machine has stopped and is trying to tell you why. On most makes the pattern of flashing lights, or a code in the display, identifies it. Count the flashes and note any code before switching it off, because that reading is the fastest route to the right part.
Can I fix a Servis washing machine beeping or bleeping myself?
Write down the code shown, or the pattern of flashing lights, before you switch it off. Check whether there is water left in the drum — that points straight at draining. Look up the code on our error-code pages, which cover 708 codes across 24 makes. Those checks fix it more often than not.
What Servis error codes mean beeping or bleeping?
Servis washing machines report this through their own fault codes. The ones that point at beeping or bleeping are E01, E02, E03, E04, E05, E06. If your machine is showing one of those, that narrows it down considerably — each has its own guide on this site.
How much does a Servis washing machine repair cost?
