What you need to know about the breakdowns in the washing machine Indesit

Of course, not every one of us is a repairman for washing machines, but one can suspect failures in the operation of one’s own device on several points:

• unstable operation of the device;
• independent “life” of detector lights on the dashboard;
• error code on the display with the letter F;
• traces of leaks;
• smell of burning wiring or even smoke
• poor quality of washing;
• increased foaming.

Users can use the following algorithm for diagnosing the device and troubleshooting ways:

1. If a the machine does not turn on and does not give any response to the commands, it may have been damaged cord, there is no contact in the start button or the plug is out of order. Another item on this list is a door that is not fully closed. To repair, it is enough to replace the relevant parts or just try to re-close the door.
2. If a delayed washing time and the modes stopped working correctly, you can suspect a malfunction of the heating elements. You can check the incorrect operation of electronics with the help of appropriate electronic measurements (according to the results, some of them will be replaced). About how to check the heater, it is written here.
   
3. From cars are heard loud noise and crash? The problem is in the mechanical components of the device. There is a possibility that there is a damaged gland in the device, a bearing has failed or shock absorbers are worn out. Another problem is the loosening of the attachment in counterweight.
4. "Moods" the drum that suddenly stopped spinning, put under suspicion the condition of the drive belt and motor. This may be related to the failure of the programmer. In any case, it is necessary to check the integrity of the entire supply chain.
5. In case of problems with the bay and water drain suspicion falls on a drain system with filters and a pump with a check valve. However, errors in the electronic part of the device are not excluded. Diagnosis involves checking the door microswitches and wiring integrity (from the lock to the loading door).And also it would not hurt to check the reliability of closing the door itself (it is possible to change the lock).
6. At leakage obvious violation of the tightness of the door. Another reason could be cracks in the drain and intake hoses. Here you can repair your Indezit washing machine with your own hands - replace the gasket and hoses. The voltage applied to the contacts of the lock, which is responsible for locking the door, is also checked.
   
7. If a spin mode is unstable, the fault lies in the system itself switching programs and modes. But there may also be a breakdown of the tachoindicator. It is recommended that the switches be replaced and a tach indicator inspected.
8. The smell of burning wiring categorically states: a short circuit has occurred in the circuit, and the heating element may have broken, and it needs to be to replace. If the user does not have the appropriate qualifications, the idea of ​​self-repair with their own hands is best given up and call a specialist.
9. Foamy "party", which was arranged by the washing machine - a reason for excitement. It is possible that a powder not intended for an automatic device is used.
10. While working going on strong vibration? This means that the laundry is not distributed correctly or there is a bias in the installation.
11. If there are extraneous sounds during the washing process, they can be caused by solid objects falling out of the pockets from the pockets.
