To a linen washed away all the dirt and it has acquired the freshness and purity, should be washed in warm or hot water - it knows every woman.Fortunately, for a long time in the past are the days when the wash water had to be boiled in large metal pots.Today, it heats the water, washed and spun linen, our irreplaceable helper - washing machine.

Sometimes, however, as a result of any fault, the unit suddenly "refused" to heat water.With what the problem could be related, and how to cope with it, see below.

How to understand that the washing machine does not heat the water in the wash?

would seem the most obvious way to determine at what temperature is erased underwear - a touch things immediately after the machine completes the washing cycle.But this is not entirely correct, since in most cases svezhepostirannoe underwear will be cold.The fact that the washing machine heats water directly to a wash and rinse the laundry takes place in cold water.

more accurate method - the definition of the water temperature through a hatch door. Start the wash program and, after about 30 minutes after it began to touch the door.If the glass is cold, so the heating does not occur.

reasons

Washing machines from the most popular manufacturers, such as LG, Samsung, Bosch, Zanussi, Atlant, Indesit, Ardo, as a rule, no longer to heat the water by one of the following reasons:

Sourceproblems

What's going on?

What should I do?

Invalid mode selection washing

The machine does not heat the water only at certain washing programs

All current models of washing machines have several preset washing modes for different types of tissue.Some materials can only be washed in cold water.Carefully read the manual: it is possible for the mode you are heating water is not provided

Improper connection of the washing machine

The machine is constantly gaining and drain

If you connect equipment to the communications without the help of a professional,you could easily connect the drain hose and the water set to other releases.Disconnect hoses and make the connection according to the instruction;if necessary, call a service technician

Faulty thermostat

recovered from the washing machine temperature gauge shows the same resistance in the cooled and heated state

thermostat resistance can be checked with a multimeter, heating holding it under hot water;if the readings do not differ, the sensor must be replaced by new

fault tubular heating element

In case of PETN can detect mechanical damage or a thick layer of plaque;also possible damage to the wires attached to it

Serviceability of PETN can be checked by measuring the resistance using a tester.If the readings are not correct, you should buy a new heater (which values ​​are considered normal, can be found in the literature).

Malfunctions software module

Connection is made as it is necessary, select the correct wash program, all the items are in good condition, but the water still does not heat

programmer can fail for various reasons,for example, by voltage jump.The problem is solved it by flashing or reset the settings to their original

What if the washing machine is too long to heat water?

It happens so that the water in the washing machine is heated, very slowly, so that, after quite a long time, the hatch door glass after the start of the wash is still cold.This, insignificant at first glance, the problem can lead to quite serious trouble.Poor wash out clothes - it's a shame, but that's not all: as a consequence of the slow heating failure PETN or programmer may occur.

most common cause of this strange "behavior" of the washing machine becomes formation of a thick layer of scale on the tubes of the heater.To get rid of plaque, it is recommended to run the program washing and rinsing with an empty tank and covered instead of washing powder two tablespoons of citric acid (in this case washing must be performed at a maximum temperature of water).

Tips

  • If your washing machine is operated for more than 7 years, most likely, most of the problems in the work connected with the TAN.The quality of tap water we have left much to be desired, so the term of service is significantly reduced PETN.Experts advise to replace the item as soon as the first problem.
  • Current models of washing machines are equipped with the function of forced hot water (as its start, read your owner's manual).At malfunction of the thermostat, this function will help some time without replacing the water temperature sensor.
  • One of the indicators that stiralka does not heat the water - a musty smell to wash things.He does not always appear, but if you notice it, you first need to test the heater on serviceability.
  • In order to extend the life of the tubular heating element (it is with them most often associated interruptions to heat the water), you must use only high-quality washing powders and not to exceed the dosage of cleaning and care agents.If you are concerned about the quality of tap water, set the flow filter to reduce the level of hardness.
