Washing machine is long erasing - reasons

The washing machine performs the washing program for a certain time. There are modes designed for half an hour, there is an hour or two. Naturally, the hostess, installing a half-hour program, expects to get clean and wrung out clothes exactly in thirty minutes, and not a second more. But expectations do not always come true, sometimes the aggregate becomes too slow, or even completely freezes and can not finish what it started. If the washing machine is long erasing, the reasons can be different. About them and will be discussed in our article.

What happens to the unit?

Stiralka - a fairly complex device, consisting of many elements. To answer the question, why the washing machine is long erasing, it is necessary to understand what factors affect its operation:

• water set;
• water discharge;
• continuous cycle "set-drain";
• heater operation.

In turn, failures in the operation of each system depend on a variety of circumstances.

Washing machine takes a long time to collect water

When the water is too slow, the entire laundry processing cycle also slows down. Why did not the water rush to fill the tank? The reasons can be both in the machine itself, and in the condition of the water pipe. Therefore:

• First check if the water pressure in the water supply is sufficient. To do this, just open the tap.
• For an automatic machine you need pressure in one atmosphere, in urban apartments it usually is. But there are situations when utilities are working on citywide and intra-house networks, and then the pressure is reduced. In this case, nothing to repair in the car is not necessary - it is best to wait with washing.
• If the head is normal, but the water is still poured slowly - check the water filter. This is a reticulum that stands in the priming valve. It is easy to remove - just unscrew the hose. Rinse the filters with running water.
• The cause may be hidden in the valve itself. Here you can not get rid of simple cleaning - the element will have to be changed, putting the same as possible as it was.

Problems with the drain

The unit may start to run slower than usual, and for the opposite reason - if the water leaves barely or does not want to leave the machine at all. In this case, it is necessary to inspect all devices through which the spent liquid must flow:

• drain hose;
• cleaning filters;
• nozzle;
• drains

Draining hose

Draining hose - the device is extremely simple. But for normal work, it must, first of all, take its inherent position:

• There should be no kinks, bends, much less loops and squeezing.
• Take care that nothing stands on it - it's rare with stilts, but still happens.
• Check if the button, coin, or something like that is stuck in the hose. Before you put the clothes in the drum of the stylalki, you, of course, turned out your pockets, but you never know - the button could come off and during the washing, thus slowing down the whole process.
• Ensure that the drain hose is installed at the correct height - 50-60 cm from the floor. In this case, the angle of inclination is optimal, which allows the water to leave quickly.

Important! The walls of the hose can become overgrown. If the hole is too small, the element is better simply replaced with a similar one, since there are no problems with the recognized manufacturers.

Clean the nozzle

But cleaning the hose is the least of the evils. Clog can also form in the nozzle, as a result of which the washing machine is long erased. Trouble with him, of course, not very much, but you need some tools like a screwdriver and pliers.

And you should act like this:

1. Disconnect the machine from the mains.
2. Place the unit on its side so that the drain pump is on top.
3. Loosen the clamp( it connects the pipe and the pump).
4. Remove the nozzle.
5. How to wash it.
6. Put the pipe back.
7. Tighten the clamp.

The

drain filter is clogged. The cleaning filter, like the filler, must be cleaned. It is much more prone to contamination, because it includes small items, and particles of nap, wool, thread, etc.

Important! Mesh filters serve for a long time, but they also have to be changed from time to time. If such a need arises, try to find a filter specifically for the model that you have.

Sewer drainage

Water can slowly go off, respectively - the washing machine is long to wash and because the sewerage is clogged. This problem occurs if the machine drain is directly connected to a sewer pipe. The standard means can be used:

• plunger;
• "Mole" or other means;
• plumbing cable.

Important! To avoid such troubles, monitor the condition of the sewage system and eliminate even small clogs in time. Pipes should be periodically rinsed.

Water is poured and comes out

There are several reasons for this phenomenon:

• low hose installation;
• incorrect sewer connection;
• broken pressure switch.

If the drain hose is too low - the water fills the drum, and then immediately goes away. Accordingly - it does not heat up, the program does not start, and the washing process itself can last for eternity, that is until the hostess gets bored and starts washing manually. The output is extremely simple - replace the hose.

Incorrect connection to the sewer system

One of the most common reasons why a washing machine lasts long. The problem, as a rule, manifests itself immediately after the first wash. It is better to understand immediately, otherwise - and you will wash for four hours instead of two.

As a result of improper connection, a spill occurs. Accordingly - the unit can not get water to the desired level.

Important! The pressure switch sends a signal to the control module that there is not enough water. As a result, the program does not work correctly. It either does not start, or the cycle continues indefinitely. The water continues to fill up - and immediately follows.

There is a way out of the situation. Connect the unit to the sewer with a special siphon for the drain hose.

Pressostat breaks

The pressure switch is a water level indicator. Its data is fed to the control module. Accordingly, if this sensor has broken down - the module receives an incorrect signal, which causes certain consequences.

Water will continue to be poured and poured simultaneously. Surplus will go into the sewer, and washing can and does not begin.

Important! To repair the pressure switch does not make sense, it just needs to be changed.

Inlet valve

Failures in the operation of the intake valve occur relatively infrequently, but you may also encounter this situation. The broken valve does not close, respectively - the water continues to flow and pour out, and so on ad infinitum.

The whims of the

heater The washing cycle can dramatically increase if the heater stops working as it should. This increases the consumption of electricity. You have set the desired mode, the water should be warm, but it can not reach the desired temperature in any way.

As a result - the unit does not hurry to start work, it waits until the temperature rises to the desired level. And can wait very long. This means one of two things:

• problems with TEN;
• failure of the temperature sensor.

Important! Does this mean that the heater has failed? Not always. It can form a layer of salts - scum. This happens especially often in places where water is very stiff, and car owners do not like to use softeners.

How to deal with TEN?

First you need to determine what exactly is happening to it:

• The machine suddenly began to wash slowly.
• The washing time increased gradually.

In the first case, the heater is obviously already lived its century and needs to be replaced. To begin with, ring it with a tester, then it will immediately become clear whether it burned or not. You can replace it in the service center, but if you want, you can do it yourself - the item is removed quite easily, and every machine from a decent manufacturer is accompanied by an instruction on how to act in such cases.

Important! By the way, modern models have a self-diagnostic function. Each problem corresponds to a specific code that appears on the display. So you can find out that the heating element is out of order, without any tester.

Will the machine work at all if the heater fails? It depends on the model. In some, the washing stops and the machine freezes. Others calmly continue to wash, but in cold water, respectively, the quality suffers.

Scum on the TANe

It happens that the washing time increases gradually, the landlady does not notice and takes no measures for a long time. But one day it is overshadowed by the thought that the car is already taking too much time with the laundry.

A gradual increase in washing time means that the heater is OK, but it's good to clean it. For this, it is not necessary to disassemble the machine. It is enough to wash without laundry, but with the addition of citric acid.

Thermal sensor - this is important

The temperature sensor detects the water temperature and sends a signal to the control module to start washing. If this element fails, the module receives an incorrect signal and reacts accordingly - or does not respond at all. The only way out is to replace the thermostat.

Fault in the electronic module

If the heater is OK, the drainage and water reclamation systems are working properly, and the machine is still erasing for a long time - check the operation of the module. This is very clearly visible. The drum can not stop, or vice versa - suddenly freezes.

Like any smart technique, the washing machine depends on the "electronic brain".With this misfortune you are unlikely to manage on your own. Call the wizard. It is possible that you will need to reflash the module.

Important! The cause of the failure of the module may be an unexpected power outage. Do not put the car where there is no stable power supply.

Drum overload

Removing this reason for washing the washing machine for a long time depends entirely on you. If you put more laundry into the drum than it should according to the instruction - it will be unwound for a long time, thereby slowing down the process.

But in some models, a slowdown in washing can occur even with an unbalance. This is typical for older models that can not control the balance on their own. Help the machine - distribute the laundry evenly throughout the drum.

Important! If the drum stopped unexpectedly - interrupt the washing, drain the water and clean excess clothes.

Now you know all the reasons why the washing machine is long erasing. Identify the one that takes place exactly in your case, so that your "assistant" further regularly performs her duties.
