The washing machine is switched off during washing

Modern washing machines quite often fail, namely "hang" right during washing. The current owners are already familiar with this kind of breakdown, and they know how to restore the device on its own. It is enough to disconnect the unit from the network for at least 10 seconds and restart it and the program. But in most cases the washing machine is turned off during washing for more serious reasons, so this method does not help to start it again. What to do in such situations and how to save the situation? We learn about this from this article.

Why does the washing machine freeze during the washing process?

Typically, in such situations, after a few seconds, an error code appears on the scoreboard, which helps to understand what happened to the device and how to solve the problem. Even if the cause of the malfunction is already determined, you need to understand how to solve this problem, because the machine does not fix itself.

First let's look at the typical causes of breakages, which, in fact, cause a sudden stop of the device. Now we will find out why the washing machine stops during washing. Typical malfunctions include the following:

• Too much laundry is loaded in the drum or it is not stacked correctly.
• The selected washing mode is selected.
• Problems have occurred in electronics, wires, sensors or terminals have failed.
• The electronic control unit has broken.
• The system of protection of the device from leaks has worked.
• The door is not locked.
• A fault has occurred in the heating element, drain pump or motor.

In order to find the right way out of this situation it is recommended to study each possible variant of the breakdown in more detail.

Imbalance or overload of the drum

The most common reason for the sudden stopping of the machine during washing is the uneven loading of dirty clothes. There are three main points to determine this error:

• The weight of the laundry loaded in the drum exceeds the permissible maximum load level specifically for this model of the device.
• Things are folded in the wrong way.
• The clothes were not sorted before washing.

To avoid this problem, it is necessary to study the instruction, and this item is not recommended to be neglected. Pay close attention to the point regarding maximum drum loading. For example:

• If it is indicated that your car can be loaded for a maximum of five kilograms, then under the condition of loading for five and a half kilograms it will definitely stop during washing.
• And if you bought the latest model, then it will be guaranteed to have automatic weighing function and in case of drum overload the machine will not start to erase at all. Thanks to this clever program, the weight of the laundry is calculated to within one gram, and this information is immediately displayed on the display.

Important! It is also not recommended to put large and too small things into the drum together, for example, a duvet cover and socks, because when they are washed they will clog and form a lump in it. Lingerie twisted by a lump rolls from one wall to the other and intensifies the negative effect when the centrifugal force rotates. As a result, an imbalance occurs and the device's protection system is triggered.

Litter

Often the washing machine stops during washing in case of banal blockages, and places of their formation are quite numerous. To solve the problem effectively, you must first know exactly where the cork originated:

• In the drain hose. To remove blockage, you need to remove the hose and remove the plug with a hot water jet and wire.
• In the drain pump. Typically, a problem of this nature is trusted to be solved by a professional, so as not to permanently disable the device.
• In the sewer pipe. This is quite a serious problem, because the water will cease to leave at all, not only from the tank, but also draining the sink, bathroom and toilet bowl. Cope with it can be through the use of household chemicals. But it is better to call a master who will solve the problem at the highest level.
• In the drain filter. To solve this problem in just ten minutes any mistress can.
• In the opening of the tank responsible for draining the water. Few people manage to independently achieve a positive result in self-elimination of clog in the tank. This is quite an expensive and important element in any typewriter, so it's better not to take risks.

Incorrectly selected program for washing or broken electronics

Many novice users are faced with a similar problem simply because they ignore the advice on the careful study of the instructions before the start of the first wash. Typically, the manufacturer in detail and accessible language describes each program and mode, and notes the features of each of them.

Therefore, if your washing machine has stopped during the wash for this reason, then re-read the instructions again. For example, when choosing a soaking program, and then immediately bleaching and washing, be prepared for the device to stop, because you can not simultaneously start soaking and bleaching.

Important! The problem with electronics is better to trust the real experts, since the self-repair of such kind of faults requires the presence of certain knowledge, a lot of free time and energy. And the master removes the control unit and calls each element using a multimeter to detect a malfunction.

Leakage protection system activated or the hatch door is not blocked

Each modern washing machine is equipped with a leakage protection function. This system detects any damage in the nozzles, hose or large parts of the device. It automatically closes the water supply to avoid accidental leakage. It will save you from the flood, but will not allow you to run the machine until the cause of the leakage of water has been eliminated.

Torn hose can be replaced on its own, but the problem with the locking mechanism of the hatch cover must be solved by a specialist.

Important! Before calling it, you need to check whether the door does not prevent the cuff from closing completely. Wipe the machine on will only start if, when you press the cover, you will hear a loud click, which will indicate its hermetic closure.

The drain pump, engine or TAN

is out of order Most often at the most inopportune moment there are problems with the most important elements of the device. This happens mostly when they are exploited too intensively. Naturally, the machine stops, and the error code appears on the scoreboard, hinting at a rather expensive repair.

In most cases, a partial repair or replacement of the engine is really expensive, so many are thinking about buying new devices. Whatever it was, repair such details should only the master who understands the features of their work and owns the necessary skills.

Important! Replace the heater or drain hose will be cheaper, but before buying a new part, it is better to consult a specialist and find out if it is possible to repair a broken element.

Why does the washing machine turn off during spinning and rinsing?

For what reasons the washing machine is switched off during the washing, we have already found out, but it also happens during the spin and rinse mode.

In terms of the process, these two modes are quite similar - using a lot of water, there is a huge load, so the reasons for the hangs in these two cases are identical.

So, the device stops working when rinsing and wringing for the following reasons:

1. The balance sensor of the laundry is defective. Even if things are right, the control unit of the machine can work because it has not received a signal about the uniform distribution of the laundry. The machine will not begin to erase until a corresponding signal is received, in order to avoid strong vibrations. In this case, you have to replace the sensor.
2. Broken damper or shock absorber. In the case of depreciation of the shock absorbers, the vibration level is too high and the machine itself begins to brake the process, so that excessive vibrations do not damage other parts of the device. To solve the problem, replace the shock absorber.
3. Malfunctions in the technical sensor. The device that controls the number of revolutions, in case of failure, causes the machine to stop the process of spinning or rinsing. A malfunction is solved by replacing this sensor.
4. The pressure switch broke. This sensor determines the water level in the machine. When it breaks, it stops, because it tries to drain the water, which in fact is not there. If you replace the pressure switch, the device will again fully operate.
5. Poorly drained water. This is due to the occurrence of blockages in the sewage system, branch pipe, drain filter or pump. To solve the problem, you need to make a complete diagnosis of the machine.
6. The control board has failed. Due to problems with this board, various processes start to be performed incorrectly, and the device hangs during the rinse or spin cycle. It is necessary to replace the board or reinstall it, that is, to reprogram it.

In this article we have analyzed all the reasons why the washing machine is turned off during washing, rinsing or spinning. We hope you will just replace the inexpensive part or clean the filters, and not buy a new unit.
