Breakdown of washing machine: main reasons

Your washing machine has been serving you for several years, but you periodically hear a knock at its 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 do in 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 does not turn on 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 breakdown of the washing 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, it is possible to solve such a problem as a long wash yourself. First, check that the drain hose is at a level of 60 cm from the floor, and also make sure that you have not overloaded 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 occurs in the devices of other manufacturers.

Some cars, including "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 the reasons for the breakdown may be two:

• The bearings are out of order;
• The machine was not properly installed.

Solve these problems can only be an experienced master.

All indicators flash

This is a fairly common breakdown of the washing 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 flash on the machine and the error code is shown on the display, you can install the cause of the breakdown 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 you have long cleaned the drain pump filter. If not, then the cause of the breakdown lies precisely in this. Also, the washing machine may not drain the water due to faults in the pump itself. However it is necessary to say 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 washing you have found water under your washing machine, do not rush to sound the alarm. Perhaps the reason is in the underwear. If you erase 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?

1. Leakage of hose. You can eliminate such a malfunction yourself and with minimal costs.
2. Problems with the dispenser. To eliminate such a breakdown, it is necessary to reach the drawer compartment, into which the powder is poured, and carefully clean it.
3. Leak cuff leak. If you notice that water and foam leak out of the door, then the problem lies in the cuff. Breakage can be corrected independently, pasting it, or to order a new part.
4. Leakage of the tank. This problem often occurs in people who often wash in the typewriter 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.

The water is not heated

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 hatch door. 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 will have to 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 an open circuit of the TEN.

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.
