Reason number 1. No electricity

However strange it may sound, but first of all, the reason why the washing machine is not started is the lack of electricity in the outlet. This can happen in several cases.

The lack of electricity in the room

This option, albeit very banal, but it's not worth it to exclude. The lack of power in the room is very difficult not to notice, because all appliances and equipment will cease to function.

How to fix the situation?

In this case, you just have to wait for electricity to be returned. You can call the mains and ask for the cause and duration of the inconvenience. Perhaps, it is your call that will become a signal about a fault on the power line.

Has beaten the automatic device

You will not understand why the washing machine "Samsung", "Indesit", "Beco" does not turn on? A possible cause of the fault could be a short circuit, from which the protection is triggered and the power in the room is automatically turned off.

Important! It may well be a malfunction of the outlet, burnt contacts or moisture inside it.

How to fix it?

To restore the power supply in this case it is quite simple:

1. Find the switchboard, which is in the room or on the general span.
2. Inspect the switch carefully - it should be in an upright position. If it is off, lift it up.

Important! If the knife switch is knocked out again, do not try to turn it on. Perhaps it worked not accidentally, but there was a problem with the wiring. Consult a specialist to prevent a short circuit.

RCD Tripped If you have a protective shutdown device installed in your room, it is likely that for some reason it worked. As a consequence, the power supply was cut off. Therefore, the washing machine does not work either.

The system can be triggered in several cases:

1. A leakage of electricity has occurred to the body of the device.
2. Malfunction of the RCD system.
3. Poorly made wiring in the apartment.

How do I fix it?

It is not recommended to eliminate the cause of such a problem on your own. In this case, you need to seek qualified help from a specialist.

Socket fault

Sometimes the answer to the question of why the washing machine does not turn on, is in the socket malfunction.

How to fix the situation?

To exclude a variant with an incorrect socket functionality, it must be checked for operability. To do this, you must do one of the following:

• Connect any other appliance to this outlet.
• Use the multimeter to check if there is power in it.
• The phase in it can be checked with a special indicator screwdriver.
• In extreme cases, connect a 220 volt light bulb with wires.

Important! If all or one of the methods showed that the socket is working, it should be concluded that the reason why the Ariston washing machine or other manufacturer does not turn on is not that. If the outlet is damaged, contact an electrician for assistance.

Reason No. 2. Network cable fault

So, when all possible faults with electricity are checked, and the reasons for the lack of any action on the part of the washing machine, they are not. Means - the problem can be connected with a network wire or an extension cable.

Important! All subsequent actions must be carried out only after de-energizing the washing machine.

Defective

Extension In many cases, the socket is much further away from the installed device. If you use an extension cord to operate the machine, it is probably because the washing machine does not start.

How to fix it?

• To solve the problem it is necessary to connect the machine directly directly.
• Use another extension cord with a larger capacity.

Power cord failure

The cord that goes from the machine to the outlet is often subject to heavy loads. Very often, due to incorrect winding, it breaks, contacts break from the electricity drop, other similar troubles occur. Such a breakdown may well be the reason that the washing machine LG, Ariston, Indesit does not turn on.

How do I fix it?

• First, visually inspect the cord and plug for signs of burning. Make sure there is no sharp smell of melting plastic.
• Check the integrity of the wire can be using a multimeter. It is necessary to "ring" the cord along the entire length.
• If you find a fracture site, be sure to replace it with a new one.
• In extremely rare cases, the place of rupture can be insulated with the help of insulating tape.

Reason # 3. The power switch does not work.

There are certain models of machines, after connecting them to the network, the power goes to the power button. On this basis, if for some reason the button is faulty, the washing machine does not turn on.

How to fix it?

1. First you need to install it exactly?button works or not. You can determine this using a multimeter.
2. Set the buzzer on the device. With the machine turned off, "ring" the button.
3. The multimeter should not work if the button is not working.
4. If the start button works, the multimeter should sound like a squeak.
5. Due to a negative result, the start button must be replaced.

Important! To replace parts of the machine, contact the service technician. It is not necessary to risk and carry out repair work of this type on your own.

Reason # 4. Fault filter failure FPS

The interference filter in this embodiment is designed to reduce the level of electromagnetic waves from the unit during operation. Otherwise, the other devices may interfere( TV, radio and computer).If the FPS filter fails, when the device is connected to the mains, the current does not pass further along the chain, respectively - the styralka does not turn on.

How to fix it?

1. Remove the top cover from the stylalk, find the filter. It is located on one of the walls of the machine.
2. Make sure the problem is in it, or make sure the opposite. You can do it with the help of the already familiar multimeter.
3. At the input of the FPS there are 3 wires: phase, zero and earth. You need to "ring" these contacts.

Important! If the result is positive - the current is flowing, it is necessary to check whether it goes further along the circuit.

1. There are 2 contacts on the output: phase and zero. If the multimeter did not show a positive result, we conclude that the problem lies in the FPS filter and it needs to be replaced. The device can be purchased separately or with a power cable.

Important! If you are not an expert in this field and you do not have the skills to work with electricity, "ring" the contacts with de-energized equipment. Switch the multimeter to the "continuity" mode, remove the wires from the FPS, close one terminal of the device to the input, the other - to the output, carry out a similar process with zero. The FBS should "ring up".
