The inlet valve of the washing machine : the device , how to check and replace , repair valve Bosch , Candy, LG, Indesit, Samsung, Ariston, Zanussi

Washing machines, like any other household appliances, from time to time break, though, to what price category refers to the unit.And whether it is machine Bosch, Candy, LG or any other, breakage may occur in the model from any manufacturer.To have an idea of ​​what went wrong, and whether it is possible to fix the device on its own, should understand the device of washing machines.

One of the important parts in the washing machine brand Indesit, Samsung, Ariston, Zanussi or any other, is the inlet valve. He is responsible for filling the machine with water, so it is also called a filling valve.

At the intake valve is two functional state - closed (it happens more often) and open. The valve has a coil which is energized to form the electromagnetic field, whereby the valve opens, admitting water into the machine.This principle of inclusion leads to another name parts - solenoid valve.

Once the water fills the tank to the desired level, the control unit transmits a command to stop the supply of electric power to the valve.The result will be the closure of the valve and the termination of the water supply.

learn how to look single solenoid filler (inlet) valve for washing machines, refer to the following video review.

intake valves machines of different models and manufacturers differ in the number of coils.In some models, there is only one valve spool, there are two other coils.Valves are also common to the three coils.Number of coils corresponding to the number of sections in the valve through which ensured the flow of water into the dispenser.

Models with single coil found in the old washing machine, in which the operation is controlled by sequencer (jet of water is directed to a dispenser mechanically).In modern typewriters installed valves with two or three coils.

Most often, the inlet valve is located in the upper part of the machine near the back wall, so to test it, and extract the required disconnect device back cover.Typically, the cover is held by two screws, which after loosening its push from the front and easy to remove.

models, in which the laundry is loaded vertically, the filling valve is also at the back of the device, but at the bottom.To gain access to the valve portion is detached from the machine side wall.

to check the functioning of the fill valve components must be removed, and then connect the hose to the valve, and a voltage is applied to each of his section.If the valve is working, it will be opened for vpuskaniya water.After the cessation of feeding 220 valve should be closed and not to pass water.To carry out such a check should be very careful, as the item will be energized and in contact with water may cause a short circuit.

intake valve function test will also include the following stages:

• Inspection valve grid to identify the blockage.If the grid was contaminated, it should reach and clean, and then return to the place.
• additional check with a tester.It is necessary, if the valve is not opened at the electricity supply.Multimeter to measure the resistance and show whether the coil is burned out.The working coil resistance will be between 2 and 4 ohms.
• Checking plastic insert in the fitting.These rates are designed to prevent the entry of water into the machine with too high pressure.If the insert fell out, the valve must be replaced.

the filling valve on the structure referred to as non-separable parts, so they are often impossible to repair.You can try to perform Replace the coil, removing a workable coil with the same valve.However, in most cases, such actions do not bring any results.The best solution is to buy a new valve and a complete replacement.

most often thought about what does not work is the inlet valve, there is a situation when the water in the washing machine does not recruited.To repair such items can cause the master or try to replace the valve on its own.

• de-energize equipment, shut off the water in the machine and removing the right side of the machine, from the valve, disconnect the hose and terminals.
• sure to remember how they were located, and even better - take a picture.
• further required to untwist the bolts holding the item or remove clips (on some models they fix the valve).
• turning the valve, it is removed and then inserted in its place a new inlet valve.
• Secure new part should be in the reverse order.
• When the intake valve is in place, the machine you want to include and check whether it is beginning to draw water.

process of replacing the water supply inlet valve on the washing machine LG, you can see in the following video.
