Self-diagnosis of a washing machine at home
Self-diagnosis a washing machine is a rather troublesome and difficult task. The number of manufacturers and manufactured models of washing machines today totals dozens, or even hundreds. And they differ not only in the set of functions, as it may seem to the consumer, but also have specific design features.
Here we will try to consider the most frequency breakdowns and in general terms we will give methods for diagnosing a washing machine.
Difficulty draining water from the tank
Usually if machine does not drain water, the fault is a blockage in the drain filter or pipe, a foreign object in the pump, or a breakdown of this very drain pump. You can clean the pump or filter yourself. But since most often the reason is still in the breakdown of the drain pump, it is better to call the master or take the washing machine to the service.
Water does not heat up during washing
Diagnosing this breakdown of the washing machine is not so difficult. If the laundry has become difficult to wash or has an unpleasant odor after washing and spinning, then Probably wash it in cold water. Start the washing machine on one of the modes in which water heating should be used, and touch the hatch (door) of the washing machine.If the hatch is cold for half an hour after starting, the washing machine definitely does not heat the water.
The reason most often is that the heating element installed in your washing machine has failed. Only the replacement of this element will help here.
Noise during operation
When washing machine makes noise, the causes of this malfunction are diagnosed.
The most frequent cases are when some object gets into the space between the tank and the drum, for example, bones from a bra, buttons, etc. To understand if this is the reason, just turn the drum of the switched off washing machine several times. If you hear noise during rotation, then it is a foreign object that interferes with the normal rotation of the tank.
Removing the foreign object will help washing machine repairman.
Noise when draining water indicates a malfunction of the drain pump. Too loud operation during the spin cycle indicates that the bearings are out of order.
Replacing a drain pump or bearings is not for everyone. Doing this at home is quite problematic. In such a situation, only a repair shop specialist will provide high-quality repairs and accurate diagnostics of the washing machine.
Drum not spinning
When drum not spinning - Washing is not possible. This is clear to everyone. Why is this happening? Perhaps the drive belt broke, or the electronic module failed, and it is also possible that the motor broke down or the drum simply jammed. As you can see, there can be many reasons.
Each of the reasons for the breakdown of the washing machine requires a responsible diagnosticsand then quality repair. It is best to trust the repair of complex equipment to professionals.
