Failures of the Ardo washing machine: causes and their descriptions

Before proceeding with the repair, it will be necessary to consider the main and specific malfunctions of the Ardo top-loading washing machine. Correct diagnosis of the problem and its classification will allow for successful repair work.

Fault Categories

Faults can fall into two types of categories:

• Typical. Such breakdowns of the Ardo washing machine are no different from the malfunctions inherent in all household appliances of this group (the door does not open, the drum does not spin, and the water does not drain).
• Rare. As a rule, such malfunctions are characteristic of the technology of a particular manufacturer (the liquid does not heat up, water overfills the drum, liquid accumulates under the machine).

The water in the drum does not heat up

A similar problem is characteristic not only for equipment with vertical loading, but also for units with a horizontal arrangement of the drum. As practice shows, in 95% of cases this is caused by the failure of the heating element.

In addition, such a malfunction is observed in cases of rupture of the heating circuit or the failure of one of the terminals. This is a fairly popular malfunction in washing machines that have an automatic design. In other cases, when this problem is observed, damage to the sensors of the system or control unit can be detected.

The only solution to this problem is to replace the heating element. It is quite difficult to independently carry out such work, and it is also unsafe, therefore it is recommended to contact the master.

After turning on, no water flows

If you have a top-loading washing machine, there can often be a breakdown in which no water enters the drum. As a rule, such a malfunction of the washing machine occurs when the tap of the water supply pipe supplying water to the equipment itself is completely shut off.

The cause of the breakdown is the equipment valve that has failed. As a result, water cannot enter the drum. Two elements can provoke such a malfunction:

• Control block;
• dirty filter.

In the first case, it is necessary to replace the valve mechanism, which only masters can do. In case of failure for the second reason you can clean the filter yourself from dirt.

Unit fills water above normal

The next malfunction of the washing machine can be characterized as excessive fluid in the drum equipment. There can be two reasons for this malfunction:

• Self-draining, that is, water can be discharged into the drum almost immediately after the set. This malfunction is a characteristic sequence of previously performed incorrect connection of equipment to sewage systems.
• Software failure, which in many cases is manifested as a result of problems with the electronics or the breakdown of any parts.

If in the first case, the malfunction of the washing machine can be eliminated only by making the correct connection, then in the second, using the wizard, you need to determine the specific cause of the software failure and eliminate her.

Fluid builds up under the washing machine

Such a malfunction of the washing machine leads to the formation of a large amount of foam. Often this problem manifests itself in cases when washing with a reloaded drum is performed. So, the foam begins to seep out through separate holes in the structure itself, and after a while it is converted into water. This causes liquid to accumulate under the washing machine.

Other causes of failure are leaks in the nozzle area or a significant breakthrough of the lip element in the hatch structure. Also, a malfunction can be caused by poor routing of the hose leading fluid to the structure. In rare cases, the drum itself may leak.

What causes the malfunctions?

It is worth noting that a malfunction of the Ardo washing machine can be caused by two reasons:

• Improper operation. Such damage is often classified as mechanical. This may be damage to the case caused by a sharp fall, or plaque caused by the use of low-quality detergents.
• Factory defects. During assembly at the factory, technical errors were made that as a result cause malfunctions of the washing machine. For example, errors were made in the procedure for collecting equipment or rejected materials were used. Only a master can detect a factory defect after a detailed diagnosis.

How to determine the malfunction of the Ardo washing machine?

In the next video, the wizard clearly shows how to detect the cause of a breakdown of a washing machine that has worked for more than 15 years. After checking the heating elements and the pump, the master found that one of the contacts connected to the engine had moved away.

Often, breakdowns with the Ardo washing machine are associated with fraying internal parts. In this case, it is not necessary to change the unit, but it is enough to replace the defective elements (heater, bearings, cuffs of the hatch). If the cause of the malfunction could not be found, then it is best to seek help from specialists who are able to perform work as efficiently and efficiently as possible.
