A self-diagnostic system on an Atlant washing machine generates an error F13.On the CM models without the scoreboard in this case, the first, second and fourth indicators are lit.
Deciphering the error code F13 will help you figure out how to fix the problem. It indicates a problem with the control module or its contacts.
What does the F13 error in the washing machine mean? Attributes: signs of breakdownAtlas points to problems with the module, but is not a one-hundred-percent guarantee of its failure. Often a user may confuse a block malfunction with the breakdown of another part in the Atlas CM, since the symptoms are very similar.
Here are some signs that may indicate a module breakdown:
- When the Atlas connecting the SMA to the network, there is no audible signal, the reaction is absent.
- The keys on the control panel do not respond to pressing, it is impossible to switch the mode. In this case, the indicators may blink randomly.
- Spin mode performs its functions poorly, the panel is “frozen”.The fault code is not highlighted.
- A periodic system hang occurs. You start the washing process, however, the water does not flow or it immediately drains.
- Washer The Atlant erase for a very long time regardless of the selected mode. At the same time, the program does not proceed to rinsing and spinning, after which the machine “hangs”.
- The wash has been started, but there are no actions from the CM.
- You notice a sharp change in engine speed. The drum rotates at an unpredictable speed in one direction or the other.
- The heating element overheats the water or does not heat at all.
As already mentioned, these problems can be caused by a malfunction of both the control board and any part of the Atlant washing machine. How to fix the situation and fix the damage?
Causes of
control unit failure If the machine shows the error F13 on the display, you need to check the unit. But first, let's find out the reasons for which he can fail.
- Sudden voltage drops lead to both complete combustion of the board and combustion of individual elements( flip-flop, capacitor, resistor).
- Moisture leads to the closure of the control board and the tristor unit.
- Blown module wiring or loose connections.
Before checking the electronic unit, try to clear the error F13 like this:
Turn off the Atlas washing machine by unplugging the power plug for 20 minutes. After reboot, connect to the network. CMA again highlighted the trouble code? So, we could not reset the error F13, we need to look further.
If there is an autotest in the model of your washing machine Atlant, you need to run it to check. How to do this is written in the instruction manual.
Inspection and repair of the washing machine Atlas
AutoTest can tell you the code of the corresponding fault. But if the Atlas eraser already gave an error F13 to the screen, it means that it’s time to do the verification.
What you need to do to reset the error:
- Disconnect the CM from the network.
- At the back, remove the two screws that secure the top cover.
- With the panel removed, remove the dosing tray. Behind it are two screws that need to be unscrewed to remove the inside of the dispenser.
- Now you can inspect the control module wiring loop. If you notice a blown wire, you need to replace it.
- Release the clips, remove the front panel.
- The board is located on the back of the panel. It is held by snaps to be pressed.
- Disconnect the connectors.
When the board is in your hands, you can ring its elements with a multimeter. A visual inspection will help determine if there are burnt paths or parts.
You need to decide whether you can repair the electronic module yourself. In this case, the video will help you:
