We repair Zanussi washing machines with our own hands

Despite the fact that Zanussi is a reliable washing machine, it sometimes still needs repair. Most often this is due to neglect of her attitude.Consider how you can fix the damage with their own hands.

The most common problems

At observance of all points of the maintenance instruction the washing machine will serve you a long time. And if in a timely and high-quality carry out service, then it will work smoothly. Unfortunately, this attitude to technology is not always observed. Merciless operation without proper care leads to breakdowns. Sometimes serious enough. Deal with them can only master service center.

However, simpler breakdowns often happen, allowing you to repair the machine yourself. To the most common relate:

• the drum is not spinning;
• the hatch does not open after washing;
• discharge of water occurs simultaneously with its set;
• water does not enter the machine;
• water heating does not work;
• leaking

To eliminate such faults with your own hands, you need a tool and experience in performing mechanical and mechanical work.

Drum is not spinning

Faults of this kind necessarily occur 1 time in 4-5 years. This is due to the service life. drive belt. With such a problem, the sound of a rotating engine is well heard, but the drum is immobilized. To finally understand this situation, you need to remove the back wall of the machine. The reason will be immediately clear. If the belt jumped off the pulley, then it must be carefully set in place. If he broke, you will have to change to a new one.

Maybe this situation: the belt is in place, the engine is running, and the drum does not rotate. It is possible that the belt, having developed its resource, simply stretched out. Only one way out - to change. As a rule, after such a repair, the machine resumes its work.

The board. During the inspection do not forget to check the free rotation of the drum "by hand". If it does not rotate, it is possible that the bearing is faulty.

The hatch does not open after washing

Such a malfunction is also encountered, when the washing is finished, and it is impossible to pull out the laundry — the hatch does not open. Here, most likely, there was a jamming of the blocker. To start repair, unscrew the bottom panel and pull the cable found there. The hatch opens, we get laundry. Then we remove the lock of the hatch and check the integrity of the latches. If they are not broken, then you will have to go to a service center - a problem in the electronics. And here, without special knowledge and equipment, independent repair is impossible. If it is found that the clips are broken, the lock must be replaced.

The machine repair algorithm with a vertical load is the same, but there is a slightly different execution of parts.

Important! To prevent damage to the lock, the door always needs to be closed smoothly without shutting.

Drain water simultaneously with its set

Sometimes there is such a situation, when along with a set of water its drain also occurs. There are several reasons for this. One of them lies in the wrong connection of the drain hose of the machine. He is too lowered.It is enough to raise it to 0.5 m, and the fault will be eliminated.

The reason may lie in the damage of the pipe. In this case, the water will pour out from under the car. This problem is not so serious. Change the pipe, and the problem is closed! Everything is much more serious if the control unit is out of order. It gives a signal to turn on the drain pump at the wrong time. Repair of the unit at home is almost impossible.

Important! When inspecting the nozzle, it is necessary to pay attention to its possible contact with machine parts or adjacent hoses, which should not be. If available, take steps to eliminate.

Water does not enter the machine.

The reason for such a malfunction can be quite simple - the lack of water in the water supply. Then we check the hose for water transmission. This is done simply. After disconnecting it from the machine, turn on the water and see if it goes through the hose. If yes - return it to its place. If not, we find the reason or immediately change it to a new one.

The two reasons considered are pretty commonplace. The third is more serious, and happens quite often. it filter clogging. To clean it, you must remove the top cover of the machine, and disconnect the filling valve.It is located at the point of entry of the hose into the unit housing. Removing the valve will give you access to the filter. It remains to disassemble it and clean it. Then set everything in place in reverse order. This cleaning is quite enough to resume the machine. If after the repair the water still does not flow, then the problem is in the valve itself or the water level sensor. It remains to check their performance. Repair here will be to replace them.

Council Clean the intake and exhaust filters as often as possible, without waiting for their clogging.

Water heating does not work

Such a breakdown is rare. If there is an ordinary tester at hand, and there is knowledge on the measurement of resistance, then you can safely proceed to repair. After removing the back wall of the machine, you need to measure the resistance of the heater. It is located at the bottom of the tank. Resistance at 30 ohms speaks of its health. If there are deviations - TEN is subject to replacement. If it did not help, further repairs with their own hands are inappropriate.

Leakage

Malfunctions associated with water leaks cause great trouble, but are fairly easily fixed. Usually this phenomenon provokes the weakening of the seals.A simple replacement of gaskets in the places where hoses are connected will be enough to restore the operability of the machine. It is somewhat more difficult to eliminate the leakage of the hatch seal. It is necessary to first remove the locking collar seal. This operation is easy if you gently pry it with a screwdriver. Replacing and installing a new seal usually does not cause difficulties.

In order to repair the Zanussi washing machine at home, it is necessary to understand electrical engineering and plumbing, to have a special tool and simple measuring devices. In this case, success will be ensured.
