Ardo-Italian washing machine with a low price. At the same time, she is popular. Her reviews are the best. But just like other devices, it breaks down.
The problem with spinning is one of the frequent breakdowns of Ardo washing machines. “The Ardo washing machine does not wring out,” some housewives complain.
About why the device does not spin, what to do if the spin does not work, we will share with you in this article.
Washing machine Ardo washes, but does not wring out. Is it a breakdown
So before you get upset, pay attention to whether you have one of these programs enabled. If you started washing in these modes, then the device finishes its work after rinsing. If you want to spin the laundry, then set the program "Spin."
In the Ardo washing machine, you can change the spin speed or cancel it. Before running to a service center or calling the master to your house, look carefully if you accidentally pressed the “Spin Cancel” button, if you slowed down its speed.
Ardo also has a function to stop washing machines with water. Check if you accidentally stopped the device.
The imbalance control function in the Ardo washing machine distributes the laundry evenly over the drum and prevents overloading. If you put in extra laundry, the spin cycle will not start. If the imbalance is high, then the spin speed is reduced or no spin is performed at all, so the laundry is also wet. Pull out excess laundry, then the spin cycle will turn on.
But not only excess laundry can cause the drum to work incorrectly. If you have underloaded the laundry in the washing machine, or it is very light, then things are not distributed evenly. There is a strong vibration at a high speed of the drum.
Therefore, the control panel reduces the number of revolutions, the device does not squeeze out efficiently. When washing, it is better to put one large item and two small ones into the washing machine.
A bad spin can also be with an excess of household chemicals. Washing powders, bleaches, air conditioners you need to use only those recommended by the manufacturers of Ardo washing machines. Never use detergents designed for hand washing.
Why does the Ardo washing machine not wring out
If, nevertheless, you were attentive and started the wash correctly, but push still not workingthen you need to look for malfunctions in the washing machine. One of the causes of spin problems is that the device does not drain the water.
Why water does not leave the washing machine
- The hose is kinked so the water won't drain.
- Clogged drains and siphons can cause water to stay in the washing machine for a long time.At first she leaves, but since the siphon is clogged and there is no passage to the sewer, the water from the washing machine flows out through the drain hole into the sink, and then returns from the sink back into it. Therefore, the washing machine stops and does not wash further, does not wring out. Be careful not to block the sewer pipe when washing. To check where the blockage is: in the washing machine or pipe, disconnect the hose from the siphon and lower it into the tub or bucket. If water comes out, then there is a blockage in the sewer. It must be cleaned with a cable, kvach or pour in a special agent.
- Check out the drain filter. It is located at the bottom of the washing machine. Unscrew it. Just first put a rag or some kind of container so that a lot of water does not pour onto the floor. Rinse thoroughly, remove debris or foreign objects if any have entered the filter. The filter should be washed regularly, and the detergent container should also be cleaned.
- If the filter is clean, the drain hose, pipe or pump may become clogged. Blow out the drain hose or wash it under a strong stream of water. Clean the drain and inlet hose in time so that the washing machine does not break due to blockage.
What to do if the cause of the spin failure is a pump malfunction
- Turn off the power to the washing machine by unplugging the cord from the outlet.
- Remove the top cover.
- Pull out the cuvette, then unscrew the screws that are under the tray.
- Place the device on its side.
- Unscrew the fasteners holding the pallet. Take it off.
- Pry off the wire that holds the cuff.
- Detach the cuff.Now the front of the washing machine holds nothing. Remove it carefully so as not to tear off the wires.
- The pump is accessible, pull it out. 2 pipes fit the pump - one from the drain hose, and the other, which is thicker, from the tank. Pliers wring out the clamp and remove it.
- Pry off the ends of the pipe with a screwdriver and remove it. You will see a lot of garbage. Collect it.
- Remove the terminals and then the pump itself. Now check if it works by connecting it to the network. He starts spinning. Press on it with your thumb. If he's fine, then you shouldn't have the strength to stop him.
- Rinse drain pump and pipe.
- Reassemble the washing machine in reverse order. Carry out washing-testing: does the water drain, does the washing machine wring out.
Washing machine Ardo does not wring out. Other reasons
- The cause of problems with spinning can be a breakdown of the tachometer. Tachometer - a device responsible for the number of revolutions in the drum.
If the number of revolutions is low, then the laundry will be wet. The drum rotates, but the display does not receive a signal about how the drum rotates and, accordingly, the control module cannot correctly set the number of revolutions during spinning.
- The water level sensor, which is called a pressure switch, can be suffocated. If the whole point is in it, then there will be no spin after rinsing. The fact is that in the event of a malfunction, the water level sensor does not report to the board whether water remains in the tank or is gone, so the module cannot signal the need for spinning. The water level sensor is located under the top cover.This is a plastic device, terminals and wires are connected to it. After replacing it, the spin will work. Check the resistance with a multimeter.
- If the cause of the breakdown is module malfunction, then you need to reflash the board or replace it. For this, it is best to invite professional craftsmen who have high-quality equipment for checking the control module, experience in replacing electronics.
- The cause of the malfunction may be the engine or graphite brushesthat wear out over time. Brushes play an important role in the washing machine. With the help of them, electricity is supplied to the rotor of the engine. But over time, they decrease in size and can no longer reach the plates on the rotor. Therefore, the motor stops rotating.
It is necessary to measure the size of the brush when disassembling the engine. If the brush length is half a centimeter or less, then it must be replaced. Due to problems with the brushes, the engine cannot gain the required number of revolutions, so the Ardo washing machine does not wring out the laundry well.
To replace the brushes, you need to dismantle the motor. To do this, remove the drive belt. To remove it, you need to pull it towards you while turning the pulley. Next, disconnect the wires, unscrew the screws and remove the motor.
The motor has two brushes. They are screwed to the motor. Unscrew and take them out. Look at their sizes. Take new brushes and insert into a metal case, solder the wire to the contact.
To find out if they fit snugly on the electric motor, if you put them correctly, twist it. If the brushes are firmly in place, you will hear clicks as the motor rotates.
To order brushes, contact the service center or specialized household appliance stores.
Pay attention to the sticker on the electric motor to find out its type. When purchasing new brushes, do not forget to also provide the name and series of the washing machine.
- Malfunctions can also be in the rotor and stator windings.
If the engine hums and heats up, does not reach high power, you hear strange noises during its operation - a short circuit has occurred in the winding. You can check the winding malfunction using a multimeter. To do this, attach the probes to adjacent lamellas. The difference in resistance on them should not exceed 0.5 ohms. The absence of resistance between the lamellas indicates a break in the winding on one of them. The engine must be replaced, or the same rotor or stator must be selected and replaced with the old ones. - The heating element may be defective. The control module receives a signal about a heating element malfunction, therefore it does not turn on the spin.
To replace the thermoelectric heater, the rear wall must be removed. Teng is located at the bottom of the tank. Remove wires. Unscrew the screws and, swinging, pull the heating element towards you. Take out the ten.
We have shown you the reasons why the Ardo washing machine does not wring out. We advised how to get rid of this or that malfunction with our own hands so that the device wrings out again.
Take note of them, and you will not have to pay for expensive repairs. We hope that you will manage on your own and restore the spin at the Ardo washing machine.
