The reasons for the long wash automatic washing machine

Among the washing machines that have been operating for more than a year, malfunctions often occur. Often, owners of automatic machines complain about the increased washing time. Why does a washing machine wash so long? In some cases, this panic is caused by excessive suspicion, but basically it is a sign of malfunctioning of the control units. In this article we will consider typical breakdowns leading to washing without stopping.

Water supply system problems

This is one of the most popular problems for automatic washing machines. In cases when the pump for some reason cannot supply the amount of water needed for operation, the washing session may increase. Initially, no attention is paid to this, but over time, the problem of insufficient water supply can lead to serious malfunctions.

To fix this is quite simple. Check how good the pressure is in your faucet. Clean the debris mesh filter, which accumulates various deposits and debris from tap water. Make sure that water tap for cars completely open. pay attention to water supply valveif it does not work correctly - replace it with a new one.

The reason for this may be the accumulation of debris in pipes, hoses or water filter. Clear the clog filter not difficult, just dismantle it and get rid of the garbage. Pollution nipple remove much more difficult. To do this you will need:

  • de-energize the washing machine;
  • install it in such a way that the washing pump is at the top;
  • loosen the mounting clamp connecting the nozzle with the pump;
  • dismantle the nipple and thoroughly clean it.

After all the procedures, it is necessary to carefully install all the parts in place and to make a test run of the machine. Make sure that all parts are properly installed and that the components are tight.

A blockage may also occur in hose. Due to dirty tap water, various accumulations form on its walls, making it difficult for the fluid to flow. In this situation, it is best to replace the system with a new one.

Constant water circulation

You have cleared all blockages and replaced worn parts. Why is the washing machine still washing for a long time? The reason may be a problem with the circulation of water. At the same time picking up and draining the water, the machine can not properly heat it, stretching the wash session for long hours. This is due to a number of reasons.

Error when connecting cars

The root cause of this problem is installation errors and connecting machine automatic. Installing the hose on more low level or incorrect connection siphon can provoke unauthorized water leakage. Gathering in the drum, it will almost immediately go through the drain.

  Scheme of the correct connection of the machine

Failure of the pressure switch

Each modern washing machine has an automatic water level sensor. By transmitting data to the control module, it controls the presence or absence of fluid in the drum. When it fails, it stops notifying the control module of a sufficient amount of water, as a result of which its surplus is formed. Its excess part is drained into the sewer, forming a continuous stream. No need to talk about how much washing can be delayed in a similar situation.

Heating element problems

The problem with incessant washing may be nonworking. heating element. By increasing the heating time, the machine automatically extends the washing session. You can fix this problem only by replacing worn parts.

Broken thermal sensor

Along with the pressostat, popular models are necessarily equipped with a thermal sensor. It determines the temperature of the fluid and passes this information to the control module.Obtaining incorrect data, the module can increase the heating time, prolonging washing. You can avoid this simple thermostat replacement.

Experts recommend to study the list of wearing parts of the machine and regularly check their condition. Timely replacement will allow you to avoid serious damage.
