You decide to wash your clothes, and washing machine does not turn on? Often this situation is taken by surprise, because. there seemed to be no prerequisites for the breakdown of washing machines. Let's understand the reasons.
How does it happen that the washing machine does not work?
-
The indicator light is on, the door is locked, but the washing machine does not draw water and the wash does not start.
-
After plugging into the socket, the bulbs and indicators flash.
-
Washing machine won't turn on at all, i.e. neither the electronic board nor the light bulb lights up.
Why is this happening
The washing machine does not turn on for the following reasons:
- the supply of electricity to the device is interrupted: the socket, plug or wire is damaged;
- electricity is turned off in the apartment;
- there was a breakdown of the tank door locking system;
- broken contact in the power button of the washing machine;
- the control module has broken, etc.
Checking the electricity
If the washing machine does not turn on, make sure that it is connected to the mains, i.e. plugged in.
If the plug is plugged into the outlet and the washing machine still does not turn on, visually check that neither the outlet, the plug, nor the wire is damaged. Then you can check if there is electricity in the apartment and in this particular outlet.
If the lights in the bathroom and other rooms are on, but the washing machine does not turn on, try plugging another electrical appliance, such as a hair dryer, into the outlet that the washing machine is connected to. A hair dryer working when connected to this outlet indicates that there are no problems with the power supply of the outlet, and most likely the washing machine does not turn on due to a breakdown.
Let's start repairing
Important! Before starting repairs, even if the washing machine does not turn on, unplug it from the mains!

Faulty socket. If, when diagnosing an outlet using the above method, you find that it is faulty (hair dryer or other electrical appliance as well as washing machine does not turn on), then you should repair the outlet. Because there are certain requirements for the sockets used to connect washing machines (for example, the presence of grounding), it is better to entrust its replacement or repair to a professional. If you still decide to repair the outlet yourself, do not forget to de-energize the apartment completely.
- Wire damaged. In the event that during a visual inspection of the wire you notice damage on it (breakage, wear, twisting), then the wire will need to be replaced with a new one.
- The power button is broken. On a washing machine that has already served for some time, sometimes there will be a violation of the contacts of the power button. Diagnosis of this failure made using a special device, a multimeter. If a malfunction is detected, the button must be replaced.
- Faulty sunroof lock button. If, when the indicator button is on and the door is closed, the washing machine does not start to draw water and the wash does not start, then most likely washing machine does not turn on due to unlocking the door. It will help to fix this error. serviceman.
- Breakage of wiring connections. During operation, the washing machine vibrates, which can cause mechanical damage to the wiring of the electrical circuit. It is possible to detect this malfunction only by disassembling the washing machine. Entrust this to a professional who, if a malfunction is detected, will be able to repair the device without any problems.
- Failure of the module or command device. If you checked everything, but the washing machine does not turn on, this means that, most likely, the electronic control module has failed. This part of the washing machine is difficult to repair, and even experienced repairmen will advise it better to replace the faulty module with a new one.
