Clothes washing is most effective with the use of hot water. When the machine is cold water, the selected stop mode and will be examined in malfunctions. Cold water does not get rid of stains and bleach the fabric.
To check whether the washing machine heats water select a washing course at a temperature of 60 °. Touch the door when stiralka front loading or to the walls of the device when automatic machine with vertical loading. If the glass walls are heated, the machine is working. When the heat is not felt for a long time, repairs can not be avoided.
Causes
If the water in the washing machine does not heat up, stop the program and start looking for the cause. There are several factors influencing the lack of heating:
- Improper connection. Water often recruited and merges, without having to heat up.
- Check the selected mode. Many devices do not heat water at delicate cycle, wash shoes or silk. Change the program and check the temperature again.
- Carefully read the instructions. For all programs, it provides its own allowable water temperature.
- Damage to the tubular electric heater.
If, after checking the unit is cold, examine other possible causes.
The main sources of that the washing machine has ceased to heat the water:
- Contamination of the water level sensor. The machine starts to heat the water, because it does not determine the amount of liquid. This happens due to the accumulation of small debris, washed out of the clothes.
- He broke heater due to the constant heating and cooling.
- During operation of the washing machine wires can fray due to vibration. In some models, the internal components rub against the wire and cause them to rupture.
- Scale to PETN or temperature sensors. As a result of scaling, which occurs due to the use of poor quality and too hard water, washing machine does not heat the water or completely fails.
- Power surges often lead to stop the program, unstable elements and burn unit.
- Production tank is damaged due to breakage of the programmer.
- Broke sensor heating water. It is embedded in the machine in order to timely start the heater and turn it off when the water temperature of typing required. Faulty heating sensor leads to the fact that the device is too long or erases quickly ends the process.
- Faulty programming occurs due to faulty heating element, frequent voltage drops or factory defects.
- Washing machine heats the water for a long time. This can cause damage to the programmer or PETN. The main reason for the long heating process is the accumulation of scale in the machine.
Diagnosing
Before washing, inspect the device for signs of damage. Wires should not have creases and kinks. Ensure that the program is correct.
If there are doubts about the correct operation of the sensor heating the water, check it in the sequence:
- Remove from stiralki sensor and measure the resistance of a multimeter.
- Heat water in a small container and dip into it sensor and then recheck resistance.
- If the difference between the two measurements will reach a large figure, the device does not need to be repaired. In either case, replace it.
- Use a multimeter to check the efficiency of the heating element.
- Inspect the car in the presence of scale. Great deal of it leads to a breakdown of PETN and machine heats the water for a long time.
Troubleshooting
If the problem is a fault in the wiring, disconnect the machine from the mains, solder wires and insulate with tape. You can then continue washing.
Users often complain that the machine stops working because of the broken heating element. It can burn out as a result of power surges or manufacturing defects due to adhesion of a large amount of scale. To clean its special means or citric acid.
PETN replacement Rely on professionals.
Damage to the programmer is determined if the other elements of the machine work. Fix it at home is not possible, so you have to call the master.
To the unit does not overheat and worked in the right order, watch out for the number of scale in him. It is easy to remove using a special or other available means. One of the most effective and cheapest ways - the use of citric acid. Just pour a few spoonfuls of the powder in the container and set the wash temperature by 90 °. In no case do not put anything into the drum. After rinsing expose a second mode to remove the excess acid.
If the individual parts can not be repaired, replace them. It is advisable to change all components, except for the software module. Its value is equal to the price of a new washing machine.
If during stiralka remains cold, sort out possible causes and take action. Without the skills and knowledge not attempt to disassemble the device. Self repair can worsen the situation and in the service center will not be able to repair the car.
Hot water is essential for any washing. Be careful when choosing a program and check the temperature of the exposed. Regular care of your device and follow the rules of use in order to protect the washing machine from frequent repairs.
