Your washing machine has served you for severalyears, but periodically heard a knock at her work? Or after washing do you observe soapy water on the floor? Probably, there was a breakdown of the washing machine. Why did it arise and what to do in this case? Next, we will consider typical breakdowns of washing machines of different brands, their causes and methods of elimination.
The machine does not turn on
The power button does not work - this is probably the most common failure of a washing machine. Why is this happening? The washing machine may not turn on for two reasons:
1. It is not connected to the mains. In this case it is necessary to check the serviceability of the socket or cord from the machine itself.
2. The activation is blocked by a fault within the device itself.
If the first reason is clear, then what to doin the second case? Here you can not do without the help of a master. Only after diagnosis, he will be able to establish the cause of such a breakdown. Most often the washing machine is not included in cases when:
- The "Start" button has broken or oxidized;
- The device blocking the hatch has become useless;
- the electronic module has broken;
- the wires of the electrical circuit were cut off.
The machine erases longer than usual
This is a fairly common breakdownwashing machine "Indesit". Despite the fact that the devices of this company are manufactured in Italy, they are also subject to various malfunctions. The cause of this failure may be hidden in the malfunction of the electronics, the water temperature sensor, the control elements of the device, etc. In addition, this malfunction is caused by an incorrect position of the drain hose.
If you notice that the drum rotates slower than usual, then, most likely, you just overloaded your machine.
In most cases, solve such a problem aslong laundry, you can do it yourself. First you should check that the drain hose is located at a level of 60 cm from the floor, and also make sure that you do not overload your machine. If the cause of the failure is not in this, you should contact the master.
The machine makes noises when washing
This is another frequent breakdown of the washing machine "Indesit". However, it also appears in the devices of other manufacturers.
Some cars, including the "Indesit"always knock when washing. This is due to the design features of the units. However, sometimes this problem occurs unexpectedly. What is the cause of the problem? Most likely, a foreign object fell into the machine. After the end of the wash, check your "assistant" for extra things. If you did not find anything, then there could be two reasons for the breakdown:
- the bearings have failed;
- the machine was not properly installed.
Solve these problems can only an experienced master.
All indicators flash
This is a fairly common breakdownwashing machine "Samsung". Its elimination can be facilitated by the fact that almost all devices of this company are equipped with a display on which error codes are output. So, for example, if the word "SEL" appears on the screen, it means that the engine is overloaded, and the "9E2" combination indicates that the control module is broken.
If all indicators are blinking on the machine andthe display shows the error code, then the cause of the failure you can install yourself. But what if there are no numbers on the screen? This means that the failure should be sought in the electronic board. Unfortunately, only a master can fix and fix such a malfunction.
The machine does not drain water
If there is such a problem, think about whether for a long timeyou cleaned the drain pump filter. If not, then the cause of the failure lies precisely in this. Also, the washing machine may not drain the water due to faults in the pump itself. However, it should be said that its breakdowns arise in most cases precisely because of the clogged filter.
This is a fairly common breakdown of the washing machine LG. To find out exactly what the fault is, you can use the special "OE" code that appears on the display.
Under the washing machine water
If during the wash you found under yourwashing machine water, do not rush to beat the alarm. Perhaps the reason is in the underwear. If you wash the curtains, the formation of a pool of water under the machine is a common phenomenon. The fact is that such a material absorbs moisture poorly. As a result, a surplus of foam forms, which flows out through small holes in the machine.
If you erase everyday things, then the cause of such a problem can be very serious. So, why can there still be a pool of water under the typewriter?
- Leakage of hose. You can eliminate such a malfunction yourself and with minimal costs.
- Problems with the dispenser. To eliminate such a breakdown, you need to reach the drawer compartment into which the powder is poured, and carefully clean it.
- Leak cuff leaking. If you notice that water and foam leak out of the door, then the problem lies in the cuff. Breakage can be corrected independently, by gluing it, or to order a new part.
- Leakage of the tank.This problem often occurs in people who often wash the machine shoes, belts, as well as clothing with iron or other solid decorations. It is impossible to eliminate the leakage of the tank. In this case, its replacement is required.
Water does not heat up
With such a breakdown, every user is confronted from time to time. In order to eliminate it, it is necessary to find out the cause of the malfunction.
Lean your hand against the door of the hatch.If after 10-15 minutes you feel the heat - it means that the heating element is working properly. If the door does not heat up, the cause of the breakdown should be sought in the TEN. In this case, the heating element must be replaced.
In addition, the cause of such a breakdown may be hidden in the pressure switch. In this case, it must be removed from the machine and purged.
Another common reason that the device does not heat water is the termination of the TEN chain.
Regardless of where and when a breakdown occurred, it should be eliminated immediately. So you extend the life of your washing machine and save the health of your family.
