For many years, manual labor is becoming more and more automated every year.
For a long time we do not wash our own laundry, the washing machine does it for us.
It has many features and functions. But sometimes the equipment breaks down, and the washing machine stops during the washing.
It is unpleasant when it happens with a machine full of water and laundry.
If the machine has stopped
Most appliance owners already know that resetting the machine will help you wake up your helper in an emergency when it freezes and start the washing process again. But if that doesn't work?
Many modern machines are able to inform the owners of their problem by displaying an error code on the display or certain blinking lights. This is important information that will allow you to make the right decision.
But, it happens that the washing machine washes and stops without any blinks or messages.
Problems that can be dealt with easily
It often happens that the washing machine stops responding to everything, no matter whether the washing process is over or not. The technique simply hangs up. The reasons can be harmless, and may require the intervention of a professional. Let's consider mistakes, which you can cope with on your own.
Overloading
Many machines packed with electronics have a smart sensor that controls the permissible load. To solve such a problem is very easy. It is enough to pull out the excess laundry and start the washing process from the beginning.
Error in the selected washing program
It happens that the owners of the washing machine without any intent to include a delicate washing mode, expecting the machine and rinse and spin the laundry.
But this program does not imply such a function and there is no problem as such.
If the washing machine stops at the rinse, in this case, you can forcibly drain the water by turning on the mode "drain" and then use the program "spin".
A similar story happens when selecting the program "Soak - Wash - Bleach", because no washer will not allow you to simultaneously run soak and bleach.
There is a lot of information in the instruction manuals and among them there is always a description of the programs and their features.
Unbalance
Unbalance in the washing machine happens when the laundry is gathered in one lump.
The imbalance sensor is responsible and monitors this situation. It is responsible for inadmissible vibration and prevents overloading of the machine's motor.
As soon as it is triggered, the washing machine stops and many do not understand what happened at all? Just now everything was going fine. But it is worth opening the hatch and look into the drum, the picture becomes clear.
The problem is solved by distributing the items to be washed throughout the drum. After that the program starts again.
Problem with the water supply
There are situations when the washing machine stops during the washing process, or more precisely, during the rinse. This happens when it is impossible to draw water. It's important to keep track of what's going on with the appliances, maybe they need repairs, or maybe they just turned off the cold water and it became your problem.
This is the end of simple mistakes.
Serious malfunctions
If the problem has arisen and the machine stopped washing during the washing process, and you have already tried the above solutions and there is no result, the question arises: why the washing machine stops during washing?
Most likely there are serious reasons for stopping. These can be:
- breakage of the lock lock of the hatch;
- malfunction in the drain system;
- A problem with the electric motor;
- The heating element is not working;
- The control module is out of order.
To take any action you need to understand what happened, and who is the culprit.
If the hatch lock is broken
The problem occurs when the door does not close tightly and fits against the cuff. This happens most often with budget washing machines, as manufacturers can save money on the seal.
Trouble with the heating element
The machine itself can change the washing program or cancel it altogether, if there is a problem with water heating or, on the contrary, overheating. In the first case, the water is not heated because of the breakage of the TEN, and in the second case, the thermistor is to blame.
Sometimes the washing machine stops during operation, but after a while it starts working again.
It is not difficult to check this. On the mode of fast washing wastes about 30 minutes of washing time, the other programs spend time differently, it affects the temperature of heating water, the presence of additional functions.
If you notice that the machine spends more time than before, there may be problems with plumbing, water pressure, etc.
The drain system is dirty
The drain system includes: the filter, the spigot, the drain hose, the pump, the drain and the drain.
The easiest thing to do is to check the filter and get rid of the clog. If the drain hose is clogged, you can clean it with your own hands.
To do this, you need to unscrew the clamps, and disconnect the hose from the machine and siphon. Then it is washed with a strong head of hot water. If the clog interferes with this, remove it with a wire from the hose.
Remember to bend the end of the wire so as not to damage the hose.
