How does the washing machine work?

Despite the huge number of models, the device of this technique is basically the same, and the algorithm of work is the same:

• After you have loaded the laundry, selected the program and turned on the machine, the door is automatically locked and the unit starts working.
• The inlet valve is opened, water enters the machine, the level of which is regulated by a special sensor. After the required volume of water enters the drum, the valve closes.
• Heating of the water to the desired temperature is carried out with a heater. Heating of water to a certain temperature is controlled by means of a special sensor or timer.
• While the electric water heater is running, the drum rotates in different directions in automatic mode. It is necessary that the laundry is evenly soaked.
• After the water has reached the set temperature, the heating element is switched off and the washing process starts. In this case, the drum rotates in different directions with equal time intervals. It is necessary that the laundry when washing does not get lost in a solid coma.
• At the end of the washing algorithm, the pump pumps out dirty water, and a set of clean rinse water occurs. When rinsing, the drum rotates at a low speed. Depending on which washing mode you have chosen, there may be several rinses.
• After the laundry has been rinsed, the pump pumps out the water.
• The spin mode is activated. The drum starts to rotate again, but with a large number of revolutions. During the spin cycle, the pump is turned on and does not turn off until the washing program is completed.

As you can see, there is nothing particularly complicated. Therefore, in order to understand why the washing machine failed, it is necessary to find the node in which the breakdown occurred. Since all the stilalki work on the same principle, all faults are similar to each other, like twins. Consider the most common problems, their causes and solutions. This will help you navigate and understand how to repair the washing machine.

Stiralka does not turn on

So, you want to wash, turn on the unit, and he - in general, "died", and signs of life does not give any. The reasons for such trouble are many:

• The simplest is the washing machine is not included in the network.
• There will not be a stylalk to work if the door is not closed tightly enough. As a rule, electronics immediately responds to this with a light signal on the scoreboard.
• The machine may not turn on and because the washing program is incorrectly selected.
• If all listed questions are excluded, then the electrical part of the machine may be faulty.
• At the same time, do not forget to check the automatic relay: it did not knock it out from voltage drops.
• Did not find the reason here? Check the condition of the outlet. Maybe it's out of order?
• Check the outlet, at the same time inspect the plug, make sure the contacts are in the normal state.
• Everything okay? Remove the plug from the outlet and call the power cord. To check the serviceability of the terminal connections, remove the external panels of the machine.
• Another reason that the washing unit does not show signs of life is a closed intake valve. If you set it to the "open" position, water begins to flow into the drum, and the technique magically finds its earliest performance.

As you can see, a large-scale repair of the washing machine "Samsung" or any other brand is not required here, although the primary symptoms can start to panic, thinking that the problems are significant.

The machine received water, but does not erase

The reasons for this phenomenon can be the following:

• The heating element is burnt out. If the heater does not function, the washing algorithm is lost and the machine does not function. Miracles do not happen: the heater will have to be replaced.
• The belt drive has worn and ruptured. To notice this failure, it is necessary to disassemble the unit completely.
• Temperature or water level sensors broke.
• The processor failed. The machine does not receive commands and has no idea what exactly it needs to do. In this case, only a qualified technician can repair the washing machine "Samsung", "Beko", "Indesit" or any other. Typically, you need a replacement control unit.
• The input valve has broken. It is possible that it is clogged, and therefore it is difficult to open or close. The situation is saved by cleaning the valve and installing an additional filter at the inlet for water purification.
• Burned motor. Of all the failures, this is the most unpleasant, fraught with expensive repairs. If you have no experience of rewinding electric motors, you will have to contact the service center.

The machine does not gain water

Or, as an option, it is gaining too slow. The faults in this case can be as follows:

• The water supply valve is closed. Repair of washing automatic machines in this case is not needed. Open the valve and it's okay.
• The inlet hose is clogged or deformed. The problem can be solved by straightening and cleaning the hose from clogging.
• Intake filter clogged. To clean it from contamination, close the water, disconnect the hose and rinse the filter under a powerful water jet. After that, assemble the structure, acting in the reverse order.
• The inlet valve is clogged and broken. In this case, you need to replace it, preliminarily blocking the water.
• The water level regulator has broken. In this case, the water in the drum is not recruited.

Important! Sometimes the reason for a slow set of water is low pressure in the system. This is not a breakdown, so no repairs are needed here. With the normalization of water pressure in the system, the problem disappears by itself. If the reduction in pressure in the system - a common thing, it is advisable to equip the pressure tank in the attic space of the house or under the ceiling of the city apartment.

The machine stops in the middle of washing, the process is not completed

This can happen for the following reasons:

• System clogging. Drain the water, clean the exhaust and inlet hoses and all kinds of filters.
• No power supply. In this case, the algorithm is normal: check the plugs, the automatic relay, the serviceability of the socket, the cord and the contacts.
• Wrong selection of washing mode. Sometimes the program pauses, and you only need to wait a bit. Repair of Samsung washing machines by yourself you will not need.
• The pump is broken, water is not pumped out, the washing process is broken.
• Water pressure in the system is low. Make sure that the water pressure is really inadequate, put the program on pause and wait until the washing is restarted.
• The heating element has burnt out, the thermal relay has broken. As a result, water does not heat up to the desired temperature, the program is knocked down.
• The outlet hose is poisonous and the water is draining all the time. The system then pumps water into the drum to the required level. In this case, the processor "thinks" that the required volume of water is not dialed. To troubleshoot, check the quality of the outlet hose connection with the drain.
• The control timer is out of order. For the machine it is not clear when the time of one operation ends and the execution of the other begins. To repair the machine by yourself, in this case it will not work - contact the service center.

Important! Another reason is the electric motor burnt out. Repair the engine of the washing machine with your own hands is unlikely, it is advisable to contact the master.

Poor spinning of laundry

The most common reason for poor spin is the clogging of the drainage system. The problem is solved by cleaning the filter: removing hair, small items, threads, fibers of tissues.

Cleaning did not help? The pump may have blown out and does not pump water out of the tank. If the water is drained normally, but there is no squeezing, the drive belt may have worn out. To fix the problem, replace it with a new one, or just pull it up.

The drum does not rotate

How to fix the drum in the washing machine? The following options are possible:

• Pause in the program. You just have to check the selected mode.
• Deterioration or jerking of the drive belt. Using a special mechanism, pull up, or - on the contrary, loosen the strap.

Important! If the equipment is not equipped with a tensioner, then the problem can be solved by replacing the belt.

• Ring the electric motor. Maybe it's out of order.
• The boot latch is broken. In this case, you need to call the master and he will replace the lock.

Stylus hatch jammed

The reasons can be as follows.

• The washing program is not finished yet, the drum continues to rotate and the hatch does not open. Wait 1-2 minutes after the end of the wash program. The castle will open freely.

Important! The standard waiting time after the completion of the entire wash cycle is about 3 minutes.

• There is water in the tank. The program of many washers is designed so that until all the water from the tank has gone, the door will not open. To solve the problem, drain the water forcibly, check the drain filter for clogging. After cleaning the filter, the problem will be resolved completely.
• The lock switch failed. He needs a replacement.

The machine works with rattling and noise

• The nature of the malfunction can be determined by the sounds produced by the unit: A metallic sound or uneven rattling indicates that metal objects such as nuts, keys, coins, etc. have got into the stylalk.
• If the sound resembles a buzzing, examine the latch. Perhaps it is broken.
• A squealing sound indicates that the drive belt slips. If the belt is tightened, then the unpleasant buzz disappears.
• Does the machine work with a knock and a crash? Most likely, worn bearings. They need to be replaced urgently.

Important! If you do not do it in time, the shaft will be broken, and the repair of washing automatic machines will be much more expensive for you.

Flowing water

To understand where the leaks came from, wipe the floor around the machine dry and place a dry rag under it. Turn on a short wash without laying laundry or using detergents. You can see from which side of the unit water flows.

Causes of leaks may be.

• Cracking of hoses.
• Loosen the clamp.
• Open or skew the seal on the door.

Important! If it turned out that all the parts are working, maybe the reason is a clogged sewer. There's nowhere to go without water.

Water does not heat up:

• The most common problem is caused by burnout of the heating element. Often heating elements burn out from the fact that they accumulate an insoluble coating. If the heater burns, it must be replaced.
• Sometimes the water level regulator breaks down. The machine does not receive information that the water has already accumulated, and the heater does not turn on.
• Another common cause is a broken thermal relay. The heater is switched off before the water is heated to the set temperature.

No water draining:

• The most harmless reason is incorrect selection of the washing schedule. If the switch is in the delayed rinsing mode, then the reason is clear.
• It can also be that the stop of washing has occurred due to lack of electricity supply.
• Water may not drain due to a blockage in the drain pipe or filter. The drain starts to work normally after cleaning these knots.
• Water may not drain due to clogging or pump failure. In the first case, it must be cleaned, in the second - replaced.
• No water draining occurs if the electrical part is faulty( timer failure, contact oxidation, water level switch broke).

Important! If during the process of ringing, any of the listed details prove to be faulty, the repair of washing automatic machines is to replace the failed part with a working one.

Strong vibration, "jumps"

The most common reason that the styaralka "goes for a walk" is a strong overload of the tank.

Important! It is important not to load more laundry than instructed. Sometimes it happens: there are not a lot of things, but they got lost in a com. This problem is in obsolete inexpensive models.

If we talk about modern models, the reasons can be as follows:

• Sometimes the reason for "jumping" is that the spring that holds the drum is broken.
• It sometimes happens that the weights of the counterweights are loosened. All this leads to unbalanced construction.
• If the floor is uneven, and the machine is not set to the level, then it may well "set off to dance."

Important! The position of the washer can be adjusted using the feet with adjusting bolts. If this is not enough - use pieces of strong cardboard.

Prevention of breakdowns

Repair of the styralku can be done both by the service center forces and by yourself. But how to make your assistant happy you with a stable job for as long as possible? To do this, you must follow simple rules:

• Using the machine, do not forget to periodically look at the instructions. Without knowledge of the device washing machine LG repair is hardly possible.
• Avoid overloading the machine.
• Use detergents containing water softeners.
• Once every 3-4 months, run a cycle of washing without powder and things, but with a scaling eliminating agent. It can be ordinary citric acid.
• Clean the input and output filters of the machine.
• When loading things into the car, check the pockets for any foreign objects.
• Do not stint on the purchase of the voltage regulator. This is a good protection of the electrical part of the machine from voltage fluctuations in the network.

If you observe these simple measures, the repair of the washing unit will be quite rare.
