Unfortunately, any technique sooner or later breaks down. And there's nothing you can do about it. But breakages broke apart. There are some that could be avoided. Experts believe that in 90% of washing machines need repair not because of wear of parts or factory marriage, but because of improper installation of the machine or because of violation of the rules of its operation. Let's try to figure out why the washing machines break.
Causes of damage to the washing machine
The most "easy" malfunction, which can happen - the washing machine does not turn on. Well, here it is necessary, first of all, to see if your car is plugged in at all, to check if there is a current in the socket, and also close the loading hatch (if it is ajar).
The machine may not fill with water. This is one of the frequent breakdowns of washing machines. Check if you have opened the tap, whether water is supplied to the washing machine, or if the filler filter is clogged.
Another trouble - the machine does not drain the water. Without the skills of repairing washing equipment, you can check whether the pump filter is clogged, if the sewer is clogged and there is no blockage in the drain hose. Often buttons, coins, shoelaces and other small parts get into the draining system. Such foreign objects can seriously damage the machine, so before you load the laundry into the drum, be sure to release pockets from any small things. Sometimes the machine stops draining because you have turned on the spin-off function or have chosen a program in which spinning is not provided at all.
Another of the possible breakdowns of the washing machine - all the time the water is drained. It should be checked that the drain hose has not fallen during the operation of the machine. In general, the drain hose should be located above the floor at a distance of not less than 70 cm and not more than 100 cm.
A frequent reason for the breakdown of the washing machine is the use of a powder with a large foaming, designed not for machine washing, but for manual washing. As a result, heating elements can fail.
If the drum is heavily overloaded with laundry, a serious breakdown of the washing machine may occur and complete repair will be required.
Signs of a broken washing machine
Sometimes a machine can signal itself for some kind of malfunction - flashing or making unusual sounds. First of all, you should carefully read the instruction for unnecessary sounds and indications.
If the drum of the washing machine has stopped rotating, this indicates a serious engine failure or a malfunction of the entire control system. It is already necessary, apparently, expensive repairs.
The washing machine can be shocked, especially if it has just been plugged in. In this case, you need to be especially careful to avoid electric shock, and in no case try to fix it yourself, but call a representative of the repair organization. Maybe your washing machine just was not properly connected to the network.
But if the car starts to vibrate strongly, then this is a serious sign and requires the call of the master and the purchase of spare parts for repair.
During washing, the washing machine starts to knock - this is a sign that most likely there was a strong imbalance of the laundry, that is, before pressing the laundry unevenly settled on the walls of the drum. To prevent this from happening, when you load the laundry into the machine, you must evenly arrange it, especially large things.
As you can see, often a serious breakdown of the washing machine can be avoided if you pay attention in time to the deviations in its work. Careful handling of a washing machine can save you money on repairs.
