The drum washing machine washing occurs things. If the drum stops during the wash or does not start at the beginning, it immediately stops the entire workflow. Proper diagnosis of the device will help determine the cause of the fault and carry out repairs.
In the washing machine drum does not rotate more often during operation. It is important to note the stage at which it has stopped turning. Before looking for the causes of the problem be sure to unplug appliances from the mains. If the washing machine there is water, pour it through the filter at the bottom of the device or an emergency drain hose:
- the drum does not rotate in the washing machine or be turned only by hand;
- atypical noise and knock on the back or bottom of the washing machine.
Problems with the drive belt
Machines with a belt drive are a vulnerable part in its construction. The belt is designed to transmit rotations of the motor to the drum. It is made from rubber, metal, or their arrangement. The belt is tensioned tightly between the motor and the drum for efficient transmission of rotation.
Because of the constant use of the belt is ground intensively under high load and damaged. In this case, the motor continues to rotate at the uncharacteristically loud sound and the drum slowly stops. Broken belt is accompanied by a loud bang inside the case, if it occurs during spinning at high speeds.
Belt can fly off due to improper installation, accompanied by a sharp decrease in speed and rumble.
To pinpoint the problem, remove the back of the machine. All components will be in sight. Here you can fill the back belt or replace it.
The probability of a broken belt is excluded in the machine with direct drive, because it's not there.
The drum is jammed due to a foreign object
Pockets before washing, check the pockets of clothing. Foreign object can fall during rotation of the drum and interfere with the normal operation of the device.
The cause of the wedge can be a little thing like a sock or a tissue, which penetrates into the gap between the drum and rubber seal. A foreign object immediately begins to interfere with the normal scrolling. In this case, the drum does not rotate by hand and the motor.
Jam drum can at breakage of parts, which are being kept in limbo. Broken geometry and location of the drum with their edges overwrites the housing of the machine. If the bias is strong, it can be visually seen without disassembling the machine, but the repair would have to reach fasteners.
broken heating element
This spiral-shaped electric heating device is responsible for heating water in the washing machine. Factory marriage or a long service life can provoke microcracks on the surface of the heater. After some time, the spiral starts to overheat and burst, blown to pieces.
spiral particles enter the space of the tank and the drum. Fix this problem is possible only after the analysis of the housing. Fragments heater strong and sharp. A drum at high speed can scratch the body to the through holes.
worn bearings
Breakdown is accompanied by the roar and crackle, especially loud at high speeds. In the event of failure of the bearing, contact the service center. Without skills and special tools self replacement is impossible.
High cost of such repairs, and replacement of old models bearing is not provided.
Faulty motor
There are two main reasons for failure:
- brush wear;
- expiration of the period of use.
In the first case, replace the old brushes. In the second case, replace the motor.
wiring
failure There are several reasons:
- substandard factory soldering;
- moisture or condensate;
- physical damage due to careless attitude to technology.
To check the entire electronic circuit on the washing machine, to ring it all and determine the place where no current flows. If the problem is in the wiring, resolder damaged area.
Chips rang separately. In the worst case, replace it.
broke tachosensor
Tachosensor in the machine controls the drum rotation speed. In appearance a small coil, which generates a voltage corresponding to the current speed. a voltage signal is sent to the main unit.
In case of breakage tachosensor not rotating washing machine drum. For the diagnosis will need special equipment.
The drum does not rotate during the spin cycle
Each machine has its permissible mass of laundry load. When the drum overload current model serves a specific signal in the form of a squeak, and models with displays show the load from the icon it is exceeded.
Older models often do not have such a security mechanism, so simply washing does not start.
To check this option, remove the drum from a third loaded things and restart the wash cycle. The uneven distribution of things causes an imbalance and distortion.
Most of the problems in the washing machine is easy to fix yourself. Damage to major components such as bearing or tachosensor require the intervention of a specialist. Stick to the rules of use, to repair the machine less often.
