Not spinning drum of a washing machine : the causes and what to do

Washer has long been a mandatory attribute of the modern home, without which keep houseAgriculture is becoming more difficult at times.Once loyal assistant fails, we try to solve the problem as soon as possible, because without clean clothes and linen life becomes extremely uncomfortable.

One of the most common breakdowns that occur with stiralka - is to stop the rotation of the drum.Faced with this problem, many rush to turn to a professional master repairman.However, in some cases, breakage can be independently corrected.

So if the drum in the washing machine stopped spinning, do not need to immediately call the master.If the problem is not serious, you can first try it on their own.

1. Force complete wash program.
2. Unplug the unit from the mains.
3. Put under the hatch bowl and drain the remaining water in it.
4. Remove the laundry from the drum.
5. dry the inside of the drum, if necessary.
6. Expand the washing machine and remove the rear panel (in most cases, this just need to unscrew a few screws).

Having made all the necessary preparatory work can begin to identify the causes of failure.But before that, we recommend that you re-examine the instructions in the washing machine and check the maximum weight of the laundry. fact that all washing machines are designed for a certain number of kilograms. Most modern models automatically block the wash, if you have loaded into the drum too much laundry.

If the machine is not spinning reel for this reason, any action taken is not necessary: ​​the next time just do not overload the machine, otherwise the consequences can be quite serious.

you exactly follow the instruction manual, and the weight of the laundry does not exceed the established norms?Hence, the source of the problem lies elsewhere.To find it, first of all, one should try to rotate the drum by hand.If it rotates, probably breaking caused by one of the following reasons.

heart of any machine - is its engine.Washing machine is no exception.It is from the condition of the engine depends on the quality of your stiralki.Belt - one of the most important elements of the engine.It is the most prone to abrasion and other damage.As a result of abrasion of the drive belt may weaken or even break.

about how to replace the strap in a washing machine, refer to the video Vladimir Khatuntseva.

This problem belongs to the category of more serious.Identify yourself it is of course possible, but to deal with it, not having knowledge of electronics programming, it will be much harder.Experts correct the situation by resetting or re-flashing the firmware of the device.In some cases, you may need to be replaced.

carbon brushes - is another important detail required for stable operation of the motor of the washing machine.They need to take on some of the stress, thereby prolonging the service life of the engine.Sometimes it happens that the brush "burn", ie, wear.If this happens, then the cause of the problem once it becomes clear, as on the surface of the carbon coating brushes appears - as if they were burned.Burned brush must be replaced by new ones.

The following video shows the process of Vladimir Khatuntsev independent replacement brushes in the washing machine.

Despite its apparent simplicity, the washing machine is rather complicated device, which is why it may be a wide variety of problems associated with the work of any part of the motor.For example, the drum may "refuse" to spin due to a short circuit that occurred in the windings, or due to breakage tachometer ignition coil.Whatever the reason, if you can not identify it yourself, it is better to stop trying to repair, and to resort to professional help.

There is another group of faults associated directly with the operation of the drum.In some cases the drum sticks and then can not be set in motion even pushing arm.The drum may jam in one of the following reasons.

foreign object most common reason for stopping the rotation of the drum - it's getting into the inner part of the machine of foreign objects.This occurs most often during washing, when out of the pockets fall out coins, keys, hair clips and other small items.In this case, the interference can be removed independently.To do this, open the top panel, find a tubular electric heater (TEN) and carefully disconnect it.The resulting cavity, as a rule, are trapped inside things.Pulling a foreign body, we produce all the same steps in reverse order.

bearings - an essential element of the mechanism of the washing machine.

understand that with the bearing of the drum washing machine that is not in order, it is very easy: during the regular washing machine starts making unusual noise for him.This may be a creak, rattle or buzzing.If you hear something like this, it is likely that the bearing started to crumble.This occurs when:

• machine serves you for a long time, and many items had to wear;
• care washing machine you often resort to the help of funds from the scum who have aggressive chemical composition, leading to the destruction of the metallic elements;
• oil seal - rubber seal on the bearing - for a long time do not lubricate a special tool, with the result that he Rassokha and began to pass water.

discover the cause of failure of the drum in the bearing, the failed part to be replaced by a new one.

Replacement bearings - the work that you can do yourself.See it in the video V. Khatuntseva.

Below is a list of less common failures affecting the operation of the drum washing machine.It should be noted that this list is far from complete, as each model has its own characteristics.

1. Broken PETN. Very rarely tubular heating element overheats, breaks and falls to pieces.Its fragments and can cause blocking of the drum.
2. Faulty capacitor. If you have a washing machine of the old model, it is likely the drum stops rotating due to the fact that the faulty capacitor.Fortunately, a capacitor - a detail that is easy enough to replace.
3. outage pump. If the pump is not gaining or flushes, the drum can automatically lock up.

It also happens that the drum of the washing machine, though not completely stopped, but rotates very slowly.As soon as you notice of its stiralka this behavior, you need to take urgent action, otherwise the problem may take a more serious scale.Typically the drum slows down the rotation in the event of any problem with the engine.Usually, the reason for the drive belt bearing mechanism or swallowed foreign objects.

Sometimes the drum of the washing machine spins at a low speed because of the imbalance.Drum "loses" the balance when it is loaded too much or too little of things, as well, if the laundry got lost in a pile.Current models of washing machines are generally self-recognize the problem and signaled for her.

Because of poor quality will sing the relay contacts on the board drum washing machine control can also be bad spin.For information on how to solve the problem, see the following video.

• Before you load the laundry in the washing, carefully check all pockets, remove the duvet covers and pillow cases - so you can be sure that the unit will not fall into the small things.
• Before you run a new machine, please read the user manual carefully.Exactly follow the recommendations on the volume and weight of the loaded laundry.
• to wash underwear and other medium-sized things, there are special bags.Experts strongly advise to use these bags not only for the preservation of things, but for the safety of the washing machine.
• not fond of using fabric softeners, brighteners, anti-scaling, and do not exceed the dosage of detergent.The components contained in household products, can damage the inside of the washing machine.
• If during the washing machine began to publish other sounds, cancel the program and unload from it all linen.If restarting the situation persists, then, washing machine needs a diagnosis and repair.
