Electrolux washing machines are popular with buyers. Modern models have a wide functionality and convenient control, but at the same time they are in an affordable price segment.
Unfortunately, the technique is not eternal. When a problem occurs, you have a choice: either contact the service center, or try to repair the Electrolux washing machine with your own hands.
Typical malfunctions of CMA Electrolux
To determine the malfunction is not always necessary disassembly of the washing machine Electrolux, it is enough to pay attention to the behavior of the CM during the workay.
Let us understand the causes of breakdowns that are inherent in Electrolux Intuition washers, Electrolux Inspire and other models.
SMA does not turn on
You decided to start the wash, but the machine does not turn on? Do not panic. Let's understand the reasons:
- Perhaps there is no voltage in the network, or it is not enough to start the AGR.How to check it? It is enough to connect any household appliance to the outlet. If the device works, then it’s not the case. If not, then you can call an electrician or wait for the supply of electricity.
- Power cord defect. Carefully inspect the cable and plug for damage. If any, replace the cord.
- Check the hatch door. It may not have closed before the click, so the process does not start.
- Start button contacts are oxidized. To check you have to remove the control panel and do the repair yourself.
- Problems with the main module. Breaking the control board is a serious matter. Sometimes you may need a professional master.
Problems with the supply and discharge of water in the machine Electrolux
It happens that the Electrolux washer does not flood or drain. What are the reasons why this happens:
- Low water pressure. Badly open inlet valve.
- The water intake hose is bent over. Need to inspect it and restore work.
- Could refuse to operate the inlet valve, which is responsible for the flow of water into the system.
- A mesh filter is installed in front of the inlet valve, which protects against the penetration of small particles from the aqueduct. It is necessary to clean it. This can be done under the pressure of water.
- Out of service washer pump. In this case, the water will not merge.
- Blocked drain connection. Water does not go away due to blockage. It is necessary to clear the drain system.
No powder intake
After the powder is poured into the dosing tray, the machine sends a stream of water through a special valve. Together with the water goes and detergent. Over time, the SM may stop picking up the powder.
What caused the Electrolux washing machine to fail?
The most common cause of a problem is a clogged dispenser. To remove it, just remove the tray and rinse it under the tap.
If everything is OK with the tray, the inlet valve is likely to wear. Then he needs to be replaced.
Washing in the Electrolux typewriter does not start, the drum does not spin
With such a problem, you can try to fix the problem yourself.
To do this, open the hatch of the Electrolux washing machine and take out half of the laundry. Thus reducing the load, try again to start the CM.If there is no result, then:
- Probably, there was a malfunction with the engine of the machine. Could wear or loosen the drive belt, or worn out electrical brushes. It happens that the engine burns due to a short circuit.
- Breaking of the main board elements can lead to failure of any part of the washer. Additionally, you can check the wiring between the module and the motor.
There is no water heating in the Electrolux
machine. How to determine that your AGR does not heat water? After starting the wash wait 15-20 minutes. Then put your palm to the glass of the hatch. A warm surface is heating. And if the wash takes place in cold water, the reason for this is the failure of the heating element.
A thermostat or voltage regulator could also fail.
Does not turn on rinsing mode
Washer An electrolus with a vertical( frontal) load did the washing as usual, but does not go into rinsing mode? Most likely, the heating element( TEH) broke. Since the water does not reach the desired temperature, rinsing does not start.
The control module could be the cause of such a breakdown. If there was a system failure, it is enough to restart the CM for 15-20 minutes. If this happens all the time, you will have to replace the module.
Turning on CM Electrolux leads to knocking out stoppers
When turning on the washer, knocked out the automatic box? So, there are problems in the electrical network. Never re-turn on the Electrolux machine. It is better to call an electrician to find out what the problem is.
Because of what a short circuit may occur:
- Breakdown on the heater body.
- Oxidation contacts start button.
- Fault electronic board.
- Moisture to the electric motor, which causes a short circuit.
Spin does not work
For what reason does Electrolux washing machine not spin clothes?
- The tachogenerator that controls the engine speed is out of order.
- Motor malfunction.
- The pump broke, causing the water not to drain.
- Motor malfunction, or wear of its brushes.
- Failure of the pressure sensor also leads to a similar malfunction. Since the water level in the tank is not determined, the machine can not switch to another mode.
Electrolux hatch door does not close
Subsequently, the Electrolux washing machine does not start work.
- Check the door handle and lock for proper operation.
- Check UBL device( electronic lock).
