Failure of other parts in the washing machine

The problem in the drain system

In this case, the machine can not drain the used water and displays the message E03 or blinks three times the indicators. What can be done?

1. Remove the bottom of the front panel.
2. Find the filter and by placing a low container, unscrew it counterclockwise.
3. Clean and rinse under a pressure of water.
4. The filter is attached to the tank with a nozzle. It should also be checked, as it is often clogged with various deposits. This can be done with a screwdriver. But be careful not to damage the pipe.
5. Now turn the machine on the drain mode and see if the pump impeller rotates. You will see it through the hole in the filter - it is a part with blades. Often hair, threads, wool are wrapped around the impeller. If it spins, the pump works. If it rotates, but the pump hums a lot and the impeller walks around, then the problem is in it and jams due to its looseness. Here already have to change the pump. Access to the pump of a Kandi washing machine is open through the bottom or tray, which is easily removed.

It has an inlet filter, in which you often find sand and rust. The problem in this part is accompanied by the error E02 on the display or two blinking lights.

The pressostat under the top cover may malfunction.

This sensor stops functioning if the tube attached to it is clogged.

After cleaning it of dirt, blow on it. If you hear a click, it means that the device is in working order.

Bearing failure

If the bearings are broken or worn, the machine in the process of operation emits a loud hum. To get to them in the washing machine candy, you will need to remove the top cover and pull out the tank. Kandy machines are compact, so the elements inside the equipment are arranged tightly to each other.

The algorithm of action is as follows:

1. Hoses are connected to the tank, which should all be disconnected.
2. Powder collector is pulled out.
3. The counterweight is unscrewed.
4. The belt is removed from the pulley of the drum.
5. The wires are disconnected from the heating element.
6. The motor is pulled out along the guide rails. Disconnect all wires coming from it beforehand.
7. The hatch is removed. To do this, the screws under the cuff are unscrewed, and the fixing collar is lifted with a screwdriver.
8. The tank is disassembled into two parts.
9. Remove the pulley from the drum shaft.
10. Lightly tap out the bearing. Do not hit the shaft! A wooden bar is used for this purpose.

11. The drum bearing is also knocked out.

The new bearings are fitted in place of the old ones using a washer, nuts and rod.

These instructions are for machines with a split tank. Some models have one-piece tanks, then the process is much more complicated and replacing the bearings at home is problematic.
