The machine is not taking on water : Causes and Remedy

Washing machine, like any other appliance, tends sometimes to cease work.One of the most common "vagaries" - this is when the washing machine is not taking on water.This usually happens at the most inopportune moment, and therefore unprepared displays the owner of the washing machine out of balance.Not necessarily immediately take back the unit back to the store, take the warranty or cause repairmen in the house.Of course, sometimes without these measures can not do, but for now you can try to deal with the problem on their own.

is not always the reason for failure lies in the washing machine itself.Sometimes the whole blame external factors, such as improper care or communications problems.All reasons for washing machine suddenly stops to draw water into two groups: external, non-machine itself, and the internal, which relate to mechanisms malfunctions and damage other parts or machines.

The first group includes:

• lack of water or electricity. In these cases, you just have to wait until the water supply or electricity will be resumed.Call the housing office can speed up the process.
• Insufficient water pressure. As a rule, this is due to the pressure drop, or the formation of blockages in pipes.Here to help you, once again, come plumber from housing department.
• Mistakes made when connecting the drain. In this case, you need to check whether the drain hose connection is made in accordance with the instructions, and if necessary, reinstall again.
• Failure to comply with the rules of operation of the washing machine. This item includes a lot of different reasons.Just re-read the instructions: it is possible that something you are doing wrong.

second group, in turn, can be divided into two subgroups. first subgroup - a reason related to a malfunction of mechanisms:

• Clogged filter inlet valve .If so, you can say that you're in luck: you can solve this problem on their own, without the involvement of the master.Just gently pull out the pliers filter, rinse under running water and return it to the place.
• Other faults intake valve eliminate much harder, probably need to be replaced.
• not closed the door. Perhaps the castle just got some foreign object, and possibly faulty element in charge of the hatch lock.
• Broken drain pump. you need advice of an experienced master: he will tell you whether the unit can be repaired or need to buy a new one.

second subgroup - it causes related to electronics malfunction.

• Problems in the electronic control unit. reasons can be a great multitude, but in any case, not possessing special knowledge, it is better not to try to eliminate the damage on their own, and need to seek professional help.Sometimes, just enough to clean the contacts, and sometimes have to order a new part.
• not working pressure gauge and water supply. As in the previous case, will help identify the problem experienced master.But it will be possible to solve the most likely only the replacement element.

If you managed to find out that the washing machine is not taking on water for a reason related to the malfunction of any of its parts, then, first of all, look at the documents,which issued to you upon purchase.

If the warranty has expired, you can try to diagnose the problem yourself.

For example, you can check the pressure switch operation:

1. With Remove the hose through which water is supplied, and blow into it.
2. If everything is functioning properly, you will hear a clicking sound.

also possible to disassemble the door and test the automatic lock: when you close the door, the switch must be pressed trailer tongue.Otherwise - the lock does not occur and the water does not flow.

should be noted that if you are in doubt about their repair skills, it is best not to touch the screwdriver and disassemble the washing machine.Sometimes a specialist call is cheaper than buying a new machine, instead of the victim with an illiterate self-repair.

If you are confident in their abilities and have insufficient knowledge of home appliances and electronics, then you can try to solve the problem.

Consider the most common causes of breakdowns and their solutions:

• machine is not taking on water due to the fact that the door is not closed. In this case dismantle the door and return the iron rod, which fixes the lock tab to its original position.You may need to purchase a new termoblokirovku.
• Water is not reached due to a malfunction of the intake valve. To start, disconnect the hose through which the water must come and check the filter.If it is clogged, simply wash it and return it to the place.But it also happens that the reason lies in the burned-winding coil.In this case, it will have to be replaced.
• machine is not taking on water, because the programmer does not work. Programmer - a kind of brain unit, so the slightest malfunction occur disruptions in the washing machine.Some damage to the system, you can correct yourself.For example, if you found out that on the contacts formed deposits, fill the syringe with a liquid for contact cleaning and inject it into the desired section.

Another possible reason for the failure of which we have not yet mentioned - it is the fault of the heat element.

Replace heater may well be on their own, the main thing - to find one that is suitable for your model of the washing machine.

Procedure:

1. Remove from accumulated water tank before you dismantle the old heater.
2. disconnected from the heating element wires and weaken the attachment.
3. Gently pushes the fastening element and slowly take out the heater.
4. clean the tank from dirt and limescale.

installation of a new heating element in reverse order, remembering to check your heating and leaks before starting the wash cycle.

In most cases, breakage, because of which the washing machine no longer draw water, involve a violation of the rules of operation. help avoid these problems, the observance of a few simple guidelines:

• In each washing machine has a compartment in which over time accumulate a variety of small items that are lost during washing.It may be buttons, coins, ribbons, in general, anything that can fall out of the pockets of clothing or fall off.Therefore it is necessary from time to time to check the lower part of the hatch for the presence of foreign objects.
• Try to protect the washing machine from the power supply voltage drops.Use a residual current device and a powerful varistor with appropriate characteristics.
• , use the special preventive agent in the wash In order for the internal parts of the washing machine does not form scale.A wide range of such funds is presented in the economic departments of hypermarkets.

Washing machine may refuse to collect water if not properly installed a siphon.To learn how to do it correctly, you will learn from our instruction. siphons for washing machines there are three types of combinations, exterior and recessed.

The type of trap depends largely on the method of its installation:

• Combined siphon installed in the same way as a siphon for the sink.The only difference is that a siphon for washing machines supplemented with another pipe with the brush, which is fastened at a certain location.
• outer siphon mounted on the wall of a special bracket, then use a flexible hose or plastic pipe is attached to the T-drain, and then - to the washing machine.
• Built siphon Stroebe fit into a small wall, which is hollowed out using a punch.Next to the installation are fed water and sewer pipes and fixed to the wall.After that, you need to install a siphon and connect it to the pipes.The hole in the wall is sealed with cement mortar and masked decorative covering.The final step is to connect the washing machine to the siphon and communications.
