Thanks to improvements in new technology and high competition in the washing industry, the number of washing machine failures is becoming smaller and smaller. Nevertheless, from time to time we have problems with our washing machines. However, not every washing machine breakdown is so serious that you have to call a repairman or buy a new one. The most common washing machine failures are often trivial, and you can fix them yourself. We have tips and tricks on how to fix simple washing machine malfunctions and how to keep them to a minimum.
Before we start, there are a large number of washing machines on the market today, and each manufacturer offers different technologies. Therefore, the most important thing is to always have your washing machine manual handy, which contains instructions on how to solve many problems. When troubleshooting washing machines, the type of washer motor is often crucial. The classic motor, in which the power transfer from the motor to the drum is done through a belt, is already considered outdated, but these washing machines are still common in the home and should be kept in mind when the topic of washing machine malfunctions arises.
Direct-drive, electronically controlled washing machines are already quite innovative and are often able to signal a malfunction on the display, which makes troubleshooting much easier. In fact, the error code is explained in the manual, which also offers possible solutions.
The most convenient to use are the so-called smart washing machines, which, thanks to diagnostics through a mobile app, can assess even more serious problems with the washing machine and thus save you a lot of time and money.
The washing machine won’t drain
If the water does not drain from the washing machine, the first thing you need to do is to drain the washing machine. Only after that, look for the reason that the water remains in the washing machine.
- Clogged washing machine filter
If the washing machine won’t drain, first check to see if the washing machine’s drain filter is clogged. If so, the filter needs to be cleaned.
- Stuck pump
If the washing machine does not drain at the beginning of the program, the drain pump may be faulty. The pump is very sensitive to dirt, so the problem is usually caused by hair, threads, lint, or small objects such as buttons and coins clogging and disabling the pump impeller. Make sure the chamber is empty and the pump rotates freely.
In some new washing machines, the drain filter and drain pump are located in a hard-to-reach place. Manufacturers call them self-cleaning.
- Clogged drain hose.
Disconnect the drain hose and check for a clog, it needs to be cleaned, as does the scrubber siphon. It is also recommended to clean the drain in the wall, which is clogged with dirt.
How to drain the washing machine – instructions:
- Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
- Prepare a container to drain the water from the electrical outlet.
