pressure switch It happens that an indispensable home "assistant" seems to work normally in regimes, but it is worrying then, that the washing machine picks up water and immediately drains off. The reason for this work is often hidden in the wrong connection to the sewer. If the installation is performed correctly, then it is necessary to look for a malfunction in the blocks responsible for filling the tank with liquid.
Why it is necessary to take immediate measures for this fault
If during operation the washing machine collects water and immediately drains, then this can not be overlooked. The cycle of washing is strongly tightened and the murmur of water drained into the sewer is heard continuously. In this case, it is urgent to take action.
Continuously pouring water through the machine will increase its consumption. A immediately washed out powder can not stretch the laundry and it will have to be re-washed, which will additionally increase the bills for water and electricity, as well as the cost of the detergent. But, it turns out, these are not the main troubles that owners can wait for if they leave the problem to "later".
If the machine constantly pours and drains water, it will lead to premature wear of its components. So, for example, the heater will be constantly switched on, because it will have to heat up the cold liquid continuously entering the tank. Therefore, it is necessary to find out what is the cause of this malfunction and to eliminate it as soon as possible.
Cause of the malfunction that can be handled by yourself
One of the reasons why the washing machine constantly drains the water, there may be an improper connection to the sewer. Most often, this problem occurs when installing new equipment.
If the drain hose along the entire length is located below the tank, the water gradually gravitates to the sewage system. The water level drops, the sensor triggers, and the machine pours in the missing volume. Due to the fact that the water continues to leave, the automation constantly recruits new portions of water.
To prevent this from happening, some part of the drain hose should be raised 50 to 60 cm from the floor, that is, above the water level in the tank. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Route the hose with a "loop" on the standard fasteners of the washing machine located on the rear wall, and the rest can be laid on the floor and connected to the sewer in a convenient location. Such fasteners are equipped with most washing machines( Bosch, Samsung, Ardo, Indesit, Ariston and many others).
- When draining into a bath or sink, make sure that some part of the sink runs at the correct height.
- The reason for the fact that the "helper" constantly drains the water can be partially clogged or narrow common sewerage. When draining water on the floors below, it can be completely filled, with higher pressure being created( lower pressure).In this case, water can be drawn from the tank into the sewer. To solve this problem, you must either place the sink in the sink or in the tub.
There are special valves that are installed on the drain hose. They create a siphon effect and prevent suction of water from the tank.
You can, of course, make a small hole in the connection of the drain hose, through which the discharge will be removed, but through it a very unpleasant smell will pass through it.
If it is not possible to see the location of the sink( furniture or objects interfere), then you can easily test the machine. For this it is necessary:
- Run any washing program.
- Wait until water is typed, turn on the "Drain" and press the "PAUSE" button.
- Follow the water level.
If the level goes down and there is a characteristic gurgling in the drain, then there are problems with the connection.
Other reasons for the permanent drainage of water
If the washing machine has been working properly for a long time and then there are problems with the drain, this most likely means the failure of one of the devices.
Inlet valve
The inlet valve may have broken, which is installed immediately behind the filler pipe. In this case, the water will flow into the tank without stopping. When its level exceeds the required value, the sensor( pressostat) and the washing machine will drain the excess. But since the valve does not work and continuously floods the water, the automation will periodically turn on the drain.
With this fault, a characteristic noise is constantly heard, which is heard when the machine is picking up water. In addition, the drain does not work constantly and you can hear how the drain pump turns on and off. Accordingly, the murmur of water entering the sewer system is also audible not permanently, but only during the operation of the pump.
It is not possible to repair the intake valve, it requires replacement. Do it yourself is difficult, so it is better to seek help from specialists.
Pressostat This small part monitors the level of the liquid in the tank. The information is transferred to the board, which at the right time blocks the valve. If the pressure switch goes out of order, then the machine constantly collects water. The overflow drain does not automatically turn on. Therefore, after filling the tank, the liquid begins to merge into the drain by gravity.
If the head is strong enough, then the probability of flooding your apartment is high, as well as the habitation of neighbors from the bottom. Therefore, if the washing machine constantly collects water and its level in the tank is clearly above the norm, you must immediately turn off the power, forcefully drain the water and resolve the issue of repairing equipment.
Operate your irreplaceable "helper", if it constantly recruits and immediately drains the water, in no case it is impossible. Because sooner or later it will lead to serious breakdown of the washing machine units. And if the overflow protection does not work, the water will flood the apartment. Therefore, if such a malfunction is detected, it is better to immediately take measures to eliminate it. This will ensure the work of the equipment for a long time and will save family finances.
