What to do if the washing machine Atlant has an error F4

Modern washing machines do not only cope well with their tasks, but also help in the event of a breakdown. Domestic models are no exception. They have a self-diagnostic function, which shows the error code. But what to do if the Atlas washing machine has an F4 error?

What does this error mean?

Before calling the repair technicians and especially trying to repair the unit yourself, you need to clearly understand what caused this failure. The device is very sensitive to the lack of a response from all of its important systems, and in the case thereof, displays an error code.

The code is the main hint given by the washing machine to its master. According to this code, you can get information about the location of the breakdown.

Find out the information can be in the instruction manual or by calling the service center hotline.

After the location of the problem was found, you need to understand what caused the failure. Among the possible reasons are:

1. The problem with the passage of water through the drain hose.
2. Malfunction drain pump.
3. Difficulties in the operation of the coupling.
4. There is no internal electrical circuit.
5. Failure of electronics.

These problems may occur due to the following events:

1. The hose is clogged or somehow got squeezed.
2. The hose to the washing machine was incorrectly or loosely screwed.
3. A foreign object interferes with the operation of the impeller in the pump.

2. Reconnect the hose to the machine as instructed.
3. Remove excess item from the pump and test the impeller.
4. Replace the pump with a new one.
5. Replace the clutch with a new one, but before that manually drain the water from the machine through the tube.
