Candy washing machine does not wring out - what to do

Candy washing machine does not wringDamage to a washing machine that has worked for several years can happen at any time. Symptoms of such a breakdown are very different, for example, a Candy washing machine does not wring out laundry after washing. What to do in this case? Firstly, do not panic, and secondly, check what could cause such a failure. This article will help you with this.

Failure or error?

Faced with the problem of lack of spin in the machine, you must first eliminate all user errors. To say so, make sure that the machine really broke. The fact is that the laundry will remain wet if a mode has been selected for which spin is not provided or it runs at low speeds. In the end, it seems to you that the car has stopped squeezing well.

In addition, some users turn off the spin, and then forget to turn it on. Another common reason when the washing machine does not wring is the incorrect distribution of the laundry. This happens when the laundry is too small in the drum, or it is voluminous, but it is very light, for example, organza curtains.

In this case, you need to check whether the machine is wrung out in principle by turning on the spin function separately and putting cotton items, for example, towels, into the drum.

The cause of poor spin or lack of it may be a clogged drainage filter. It is enough to unscrew such a filter located at the bottom of the machine and rinse it. Unscrewing the part, be ready for the water pouring out of the hole, and therefore prepare a good large rag and substitute a flat container.

Typical breakdowns

If the washing machine does not spin, under no circumstances, even a separate spin function is started, it is more likely that some part has broken in the machine. Most often, Kandy washing machines fail:

  • drain pump;
  • control module (more precisely, the controller on the module);
  • tachometer.

Failure of any of these parts blocks the operation of the equipment, spinning is not carried out. To fix the damage and fix it, you have to stock up on time and tools. First of all, you will need screwdrivers and pliers, as well as a multimeter.

Troubleshoot

Troubleshooting is best started with a pump. It is removed and installed in the Kandy brand cars through the bottom. To do this, put the equipment on its side. Further, all wires and pipes that are held by clamps are disconnected from the pump.

Note! Having disconnected the nozzles from the pump, they can be washed at the same time using a non-rigid brush. Thus, you will not only clean them of dirt and mucus, but also of an unpleasant odor.

From the removed pump, first remove the cover and check the impeller performance. If there is no hair and debris on it, it rotates well, then they go on to check the electrical part of the pump. Taking a multimeter, check the resistance of the part. If it burned out, then there is only one option - to buy a new pump and install instead of the old one.

Kandy pump replacement

After the pump, check the tachometer. It is mounted on a motor, so this verification procedure is justified. To do this, you only need to open the service hatch of the case at the back or remove the entire back cover. Below under the tank you will see the engine, on the shaft of which there is a tachometer. Before removing it, you must first remove the drive belt from the pulley and engine, and then unscrew the engine and remove it from the machine.

Now disconnect the wires from the sensor and measure the resistance, which should normally be 60 ohms. Pay attention to the bolt that holds the sensor. It should not hang out, otherwise the speed sensor will be “buggy”. About replacing this part is written in the article Tachometer in the washing machine.

Important! The engine sensor breaks when the washing machine is overloaded with laundry.Therefore, never load your “home helper” to the maximum, and underwear stretches worse and wear of parts will increase.

Perhaps the most problematic part of the Kandy washing machine is the control module. This is the electronic part of the washer, which is not so easy to check, especially if you have not encountered this and are a complete layman. If this is so, then it is better to immediately call the master and entrust this work to him, because otherwise you can run into troubles that turn into significant expenses.

Kandy control board

If you are even a little versed in electronics and you have had to work with printed circuit boards, carefully check for operation with the help of a multimeter all the controllers in turn that you will see. One of them is responsible for the spin. You can, of course, pre-download the module diagram and find out which part is responsible for what, but it is much easier to check and detect a malfunction using the “poke method”. True, this will work only if the controller is really defective, if there is a problem with the track or other semiconductor component, the circuit will be needed unambiguously.

To summarize, we note that if the washing machine worked, worked, and then “bam” - decided to stop pressing, you need to immediately look for the cause of the problem. It is important to remember that a fault that is not found on time leads to a loop of additional problems. And the longer we operate a faulty washer, the more expensive the repair will come later.
