Basic problems. Self-repair
Consider the typical faults, as well as options for self-repair for popular models SMA: Hansa Aqua Spray (Hansa Aqua Spray), Hansa Dynamic System, Hansa Comfort, Hansa Optimum (Hansa Optima).
Gland system plugging in Hans machine
A blocked drainage pipe, filter or pump may cause poor drainage. Carrying out their cleaning is recommended to prevent breakages. But if you have already noticed a malfunction, then do this:
- Disconnect the styralka from the mains, shut off the water.
- After disconnecting the SM from the communications, remove the top panel by unscrewing the bolts.
- Open the hatch door.
- Remove the metal clamp by bending the cuff.
- Fill the cuff inside the tank.
- Remove the dispensing tray, unscrew the bolts behind it.
- Remove the drain filter flap.
- Place the container and drain the remaining water by unscrewing the filter. Immediately check it for blockage.
- Remove the front panel fixing screws.
- Unplug the connections of the locking device, remove the panel.
- Loosen the hose clamps and hoses. At the same time inspect the nozzle for blockage.
- Unhook the pump connections, unscrew the fastening bolts.
Pulling out the pump, examine it: perhaps a thread, a piece of cloth, was wound around the impeller. Installation of the pump for the washing machine Hans is carried out in the reverse order. This uncomplicated repair, you can fully carry out your own hands.
Malfunction of the heating element
TEN in washing machines Hans quite often fails. This can happen because of sudden voltage fluctuations in the network. As a result, a short circuit occurs and the cell breaks.
Rigid, low-quality water causes the formation of scale. Because of this, the heating element overheats and burns.
To understand that the heater is defective, it is possible and by external signs. If you notice that when the SM is turned off, the automaton in the shield is turned off, or the fuse blown, the cause may be in the heater.
Another sign is that the laundry is not cleaned properly, a musty smell is felt, as the water does not get warm.
To replace the heater, remove the front panel. How to do this, see above, in the scheme for disassembling the washing machine Hansa.
Always disconnect the machine from the mains before starting work!
We carry out repairs by our own hands:
- The heater is located at the bottom of the drum.
- Unclip all wires leading to the heater.
- Loosen the central nut.
- Put the nut inwards by pressing the gasket.
- Now you can extract the heater and install a new element.
Faulty Aqua Spray System (Aqua Spray)
The function "Aqua Spray" in the washing machine Hans allows you to economize on water and more efficiently wash clothes. Through a special fitting located on top, water under pressure irrigates the laundry, promoting better stain removal.
The disadvantage of the system is a narrow path, through which water is supplied. If it clogs, a malfunction occurs.
How to fix the situation yourself:
- By removing the top cover, you will find a filling valve.
- Near the valve there is a tract of the system.
- Remove the plugs.
- Gently fill the hole with warm water. If the water goes bad, then the system is clogged.
- Using a thin wire, clean the path, gradually pouring water.
Did you notice that the water is running out quickly? You had to solve the problem yourself.
Breakdowns in the electric washing machine of Hans
The modern electronic system of washing machines does not always withstand voltage surges. From a malfunction, the control module protects the interference filter, which serves as a stabilizer. In the case of a voltage jump, it takes the whole "blow" on itself.
But it happens that the filter burns out. Then Hans's washing machine may not turn on, and he needs a replacement.
- By removing the top cover, in the upper right corner you will see a filter.
- After unscrewing the fixing bolts, move the wires from the damaged filter to a new one.
- Secure it in place.
More difficult if the control module is faulty: an electrical circuit will be needed to repair it. But in case of a breakdown, it is better to contact the service center.
Wear of bearings on the washing machine
About the problems with the bearings you will learn by the characteristic screeching, noise and rattling while the machine is running.
Replacing bearings in a Hansa washing machine is considered a difficult repair. But if you want, you can do it.

- Remove the clamps of the system "Aqua Spray". Disconnect it from the cuff.
- Unclip all the tows by removing the bolts, remove the engine.
- Remove the spout by removing the clamps.
- Remove the tank from the shock absorbers and place them on a flat surface.
Next, disassemble the tank:
