Main malfunctions

Over time, especially with improper operation, any unit fails. Is no exception and a washing machine. Samsung brand devices have proven to be high-quality and reliable, but they also have weak points. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that the most frequent failures are the following:

• worn or gust drive belt;
• failure of the heating element (heating element);
• failure of the filling valve;
• malfunction of the drain pump;
• the destruction of the drain pipe.

According to statistics, TENs and power transmission belts most often fail. As a rule, this happens because of errors in operation.

In addition, you need to know that every detail is given a certain period of life. For example, electric motor brushes have a working life of 8-12 years, a bearing assembly - 6-8 years. Of course, these deadlines can be extended, but, unfortunately, not by much. So sooner or later, your washing machine “will ask for help”.

Before repair, it is imperative to prepare a tester, a soldering iron, a lubricant (for example, Litol-24), WD-40 liquid, a solvent, cloth, and a camera.Filmed disassembly processes will be of great help during assembly.

Car repair is best done together with an assistant.

Replacing the heater

With such a malfunction, first of all, it is necessary to remove the front wall. This should be done carefully, so as not to damage other parts.

Special attention should be paid on rubber seal the loading hatch and all sorts of plastic latches, so as not to accidentally damage them during the repair. To remove the front wall, it is necessary to disconnect the lower bar, dismantle the top cover with the control panel. During operation, you will have to disconnect the wires from the electronics, so you need to take care not to confuse them during assembly. You can now gently detach the front wall and set it aside.

Next, we start working directly with TEN.

All operations are so simple that the service center in this case is simply not needed. Disconnect the wires from it and measure the resistance. If it is more than the norm or is completely absent, then it will be necessary to remove the heater. To do this, unscrew its mount. It is located between the contacts. Then we carefully pull out the heating element itself and inspect it. If it has scale, it must be replaced.Given the specificity of the details must be remembered that he not repaired. Heater need only replace new.

Important. Before replacing, carefully inspect the marking of the heating element, if it disperses from the old one, it is not recommended to put such a heater in the machine.

Replacing the drive belt

If this is the case, then you need to delay it a bit. Before removing the belt, you need to carefully examine it. If defects such as tears, cracks and abrasions are found, the belt must be replaced without fail. Old drive belt can be removed easily. To do this, perform the following:

1. We take one thread of a belt in a hand.
2. We pull her over with a little effort.

When replacing the belt, it is also necessary to pay attention to its marking.It is impossible to install a non-original belt.

Important. The presence of rubber dust on the bottom of the machine indicates a worn belt.

Troubleshooting a drain pump and nozzle

Rather good service than repair solves all problems with these nodes. The main reason for their failure - clogging. Therefore, all repairs come down to cleaning them. The most acceptable access to them is through the bottom of the car. It is easily removed. The process of cleaning them is as follows:

1. Remove the hose clamps.
2. Remove the drain hose.
3. Carefully remove the pump.
4. Remove the pipe.

Flush out any parts with hot water. After assembly, the machine should earn. If this does not happen, you need to remove the pump again and take it to a service center. Repair the pump yourself Not recommended, in view of the need to fine-tune it after repair. When inspecting the pipe and in case of damage found on it, the only way out is to replace it.

Important. Damage usually appears in the attachment points of the clamps.

Repair of the inlet valve

Valve failure is not a malfunction. Repair is reduced to the replacement of rubber seals. In order to gain access to the valve, it is necessary to remove the top cover of the machine.It remains to gently get it and replace all rubber sealing gaskets. If the valve will be holistic seals, then the term of his work is not limited.

We have considered simple types of repair. It is better to entrust more complicated, for example, replacement of the bearing unit of the drum of the washing machine to the service technicians.
