You hooked up the washing machine, maybe she started the washing cycle, but then stopped. On the control panel, the indicators above all the buttons flash, an audible signal is heard. Stiralka notifies you of an error.
How to understand what a mistake this is and what you need to do in case of a malfunction, you will learn in the article.
Why all the light bulbs on the washing machine
Depending on the cause of the breakdown, the washing machine self-diagnosis system may show a malfunction in different ways. In various brands of machines, such as "Indesit "Ariston "Bosch" or "Samsung the breakdown can be displayed by flashing two indicators or a rinse indicator.
Also, the red light of the lock can flash constantly. The causes of the malfunction are to be found in the decoding tables.
It happens that when the "Start" button is pressed, the lamp (indicator) of the lock flashes. This can talk about locking the door, after which the stylalka starts to take water and wash it.
Before contacting the service center, determine the value of the DTC and try to solve it yourself.
All indicators flash, the washing machine does not turn on
If the washing machine does not work, the red lights are on or the lights of all buttons are lit, most likely the cause of the failure of the control card. Most often, as a result of the voltage jump, the capacitors of the electronic board are burned out. Therefore, if you own a soldering iron, you can replace them yourself.
Another reason that the machine does not turn on is the glowing lock indicator with a smile. Check that you have enabled child protection, so the remaining buttons on the panel do not work.
When certain lights come on or blink, for example, the service button indicator in the LG machines, "Burning Candy, "Electrolux the problem may be in the failure of the SMA details:
- Failure of TEN drying or heating water.
- Problems with the pump.
- Faulty electronic motor.
- Problems with the controller.
You need to establish the exact cause of the failure, and eliminate it - with your own hands or with the help of a master.
What to do if the light bulb blinks on the washing machine
The washing machine has broken down, but you do not know what to do? When you turn on, all the indicators flash? Check all possible sources of failure in turn: the board, the drain system, the correct installation, the heater.
We will discuss in detail how to inspect and replace or repair each part.
Electronic board
How to get close to it:
- Disconnect the washing machine from the mains.
- After removing two screws from the back, remove the top cover from the case, sliding away from yourself.
- Remove the dispensing tray by pressing the catch in the center.
- Unscrew all screws holding the control panel.
- Squeeze the plastic latches.
- After removing the panel from the CM cabinet, take a picture of the location of the connectors for further correct connection.
- Unplug the wires, remove the panel.
- To reach the card, unclasp the clips securing it to the panel.
Note! In the AGA with front loading of the company "Indesit" the electronic board is located in the rear part of the case, from below.
Visually inspect the board at the time of burnout. Pay special attention to capacitors C16, C17, C20. If the capacitor is swollen or burned, it needs a replacement. If there are no external signs of a breakdown, call the capacitors with a multimeter. A defective part will not give out the indicators.
Before replacing, find a new part. To do this, look at the number of the capacitor. The element is installed using a soldering iron.
Most often, the reason for the fact that all the light bulbs on the washing machine blink is the control board. Therefore, after repair, run the washer and check its operation.
If the board is in order, you need to exclude other options for failure.
Sow
At the same time the water is constantly drained from the tank or is very long recruited. If you have time to install the program, the electronic unit will reset it and display a fault code on the display, or the indicators will start flashing.
What can be done:
- Check and unscrew the water tap until the end.
- Inspect the water inlet hose - it may have leaned over.
- Unscrew the filler hose and clean the filter mesh if it is clogged.
Invalid installation
Spontaneous discharge or water intake into the tank occurs when the hoses are connected incorrectly. Read the instructions carefully or call the wizard.
Incorrect upload
Modern styaralki react to overload or underload of laundry in the tank. The error code is displayed. To solve the problem, open the drum and lay out evenly the laundry, or remove some of it from the machine.
Problems with the pump
If the styralka does not drain the water, then there are problems in the drain system. In this case, the system can reset the program and a fault code will be displayed.
It is necessary to check and clean:
- Drain hose. Make sure that it is not bent or clogged.
- Sewerage. Look, there is no blockage in the place of hose connection to the sewage system.
- The impeller. To check the impeller of the pump, open the small door at the bottom of the front panel. Unscrew the drain filter by replacing the water tank. Shine the flashlight into the filter hole: the thread may have wound on the impeller, and the element does not rotate. Then you need to get to the pump and clean the impeller.
- You also need to check the pump at the time of blockage.
Heating element
If the heating water heater is broken or the dryer is dried on the housing, a dangerous situation may arise for life and health. In this case, the self-diagnosis system alerts you of a breakage by flashing light bulbs on the panel. Depending on the model of the machine, the heater may be in front or behind.
How to get to TEN, we described in previous articles. When you find the item, do the following:
- Disconnect the wires from the heater.
- Attach the meter's probes to its contacts and check the resistance.
- In case of malfunction, the heater must be replaced.
- To do this, loosen the nut in the center.
- Put the bolt in and pull out the heater.
If the thermistor on the TEN is working, move it to a new element.
Engine
If the motor of the AGR is faulty, the water can get into the drum, but the washing will not start. The system displays an error code. It is necessary to check such engine elements:
- brushes;
- lamellas;
- wiring.
If there is water in the drum, pre-drain it through the drain filter, unplug the machine from the mains. To remove the motor for inspection:
- Unscrew the screws of the rear panel along the perimeter.
- Remove the panel. Under the tank is the engine.
- Disconnect the wiring.
- Now unscrew bolts of fastening and pull out the motor from the case.
Brushes are completely replaced when worn, the lamellas are turned on the lathe or they also change. The wiring is called with a multimeter and replaced with a malfunction.
Indicators do not light, the machine does not work
If the washing machine does not turn on, the lights do not light or blink, check that the electricity supply in the room may be turned off. Also, if the lights do not work and do not light when the function is turned on, check:
- Power cord. Perhaps it is damaged or transmitted.
- A fork. Could her body melt, or the contacts went off.
- Connect another appliance to the outlet to verify its operability.
Regardless of the brand of styralka for problems with electricity, call a specialist. Such malfunctions should not be eliminated on their own.
If you notice a flashing light when you turn on the washing machine, first of all find out what the DTC means. Then you will understand, whether you can independently eliminate the breakdown or have to contact the service center.
