Electrolux washing machines are popular with buyers. Modern models have wide functionality and convenient control, but at the same time they are in an affordable price segment.
Unfortunately, technology is not eternal. When a malfunction occurs, you have a choice: either contact the service center, or try to repair the Electrolux washing machine with your own hands.
Typical faults SMA Electrolux
To determine the malfunction, it is not always necessary to disassemble the Electrolux washing machine, it is enough to pay attention to the behavior of the SM during operation.
We will understand the causes of breakdowns that are inherent in the Electrolux Intuition, Electrolux Inspire and other models.
AGR does not turn on
Have 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 SMA. How to check it? It is enough to connect any household appliance to a power outlet. If the device works, it means that the matter is not in the network. 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 manhole door. It may not close until it clicks, so the process does not start.
- The contacts of the start button are oxidized. To check, you will have to remove the control panel and do the repair yourself.
- Problems with the main module. Damage to the control board is a serious matter. Sometimes a professional craftsman may be required.
Problems with the supply and discharge of water in the car Electrolux
It happens that the Electrolux washing machine does not fill or drain the water. For what reasons does this happen:
- Weak pressure of water. Inlet valve poorly open.
- The water intake hose is bent. You need to inspect it and restore work.
- The inlet valve, which is responsible for supplying water to the system, could refuse to work.
- A filter mesh is installed in front of the inlet valve, which protects against the penetration of small particles from the water supply. It is necessary to clean it. This can be done under the pressure of water.
- The washer pump is out of order. In this case, the water will not drain.
- The drain pipe is clogged. Water does not leave due to blockage. It is necessary to clean the drain system.
No powder intake
After the powder falls into the dispensing tray, the machine launches a stream of water through a special valve. Together with water, a detergent also leaves. Over time, the SM may stop taking the powder.
What caused the malfunction of the Electrolux washing machine?
The most common cause of a malfunction is a blockage in the dispenser. To eliminate it, just remove the tray and rinse under the tap.
If the tray is OK, the inlet valve is likely to wear. Then he needs a replacement.
Washing in the Electrolux machine does not start, the drum does not spin
With such a problem, you can try to fix the problem with your own hands.
To do this, open the hatch of the Electrolux washing machine and get half the laundry. Reducing the load in this way, try to start the CM again. If there is no result, then:
- There was probably a malfunction with the engine of the machine. The drive belt could wear out or loosen, or the electric brushes would wear out. It happens that the engine burns out due to a short circuit.
- Failure of the elements of the main board can lead to the failure of any part of the washer. Additionally, you can check the wiring between the module and the motor.
No water heating in the Electrolux typewriter
How to determine that your SMA does not heat water? After starting the wash, wait 15-20 minutes. Then place your palm on the glass of the hatch. Warm surface - there is heat. And if the washing takes place in cold water, the reason for this is the failure of the heater.
A thermostat or voltage regulator could also fail.
Rinse mode does not turn on
Washer Electrolux with vertical (frontal) loading carried out washing as usual, but does not go into rinse mode? Most likely, the heating element (TEN) has broken. Since the water does not reach the desired temperature, rinsing does not start.
The cause of such a breakdown could be the control module. If a system failure occurs, it is enough to restart the SM for 15-20 minutes. If this happens all the time, you will have to replace the module.
Turning on SM Electrolux leads to traffic jams
When you turn on the washer knocked out a box-machine? So, there are problems in the power grid. Never turn on the Electrolux machine again. It’s 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 of contacts of the start button.
- Faulty electronic board.
- Moisture in the electric motor causing a short circuit.
Spin does not work
Why is the Electrolux washing machine not squeezing the laundry?
- The tachogenerator, which controls the number of engine revolutions, is out of order.
- Motor malfunction.
- The pump has broken, due to which the water does not drain.
- Malfunction of the electric motor, or wear of its brushes.
- Damage to the pressure sensor also leads to a similar malfunction. Since the water level in the tank is not determined, the machine cannot switch to another mode.
Electrolux door does not close
Subsequently, the washing machine Electrolux does not start work.
- Check the handle and door lock for serviceability.
- Check the UBL device (electronic lock).
