Which washing machines are more likely to be repaired?

Today, the range of models of household appliances from various manufacturers is so huge that the choice of a washing machine becomes a real test. Consultants at outlets eloquently talk about the benefits of any attracted washing machine, and this only complicates the process of selecting equipment. To help you avoid buying a "pig in a poke", we will tell you which washing machines break more often during operation. The information was summarized in the analysis of customer reviews, as well as specialists involved in the repair of household appliances. So, we present to your attention the current top of the most low-quality models of cars, and unreliable brands that produce washers.

Cars brand Electrolux

Rating opens the Electrolux EWT 0862 TDW washing machine. At first glance, the potential buyer thinks the ideal ratio of price and quality of the machine. The model is relatively inexpensive, but it combines good features:

• roomy drum, which easily fits up to 6 kg of laundry;
• high class of energy saving "A +", which will allow to economically consume electricity;
• full spin with a maximum speed of up to 1000 rpm .;
• a large number of special programs and additions, thanks to which you can qualitatively clean any thing.

Having gone deep into the analysis of the model, it becomes clear that there are fewer advantages in the machine than disadvantages. First, I want to mention the functions of rinsing and spinning. Electrolux EWT 0862 TDW does things very poorly. Squeezing the laundry, the washing machine begins to “jump” and “move” around the room, making loud noises. The increased noise level is typical for vertical lines, therefore, when purchasing a machine with this type of load, you should prepare for this. Statistics also indicate other unpleasant features inherent exclusively to the model under consideration.

1. Poor pulley connection to drum axis. The mount usually does not stand up to a year of operation of the machine.
2. Prerequisites for the accumulation of water in the drum and powder receptacle, which the user has to remove independently.
3. "Drawdown" buttons on the control panel. To set the required washing parameter or enable the option, you have to press the button several times.

Under the brand Electrolux, the Electrolux EWS 1254 SDU model is also available, the owners of which in the vast majority of cases are also not happy with the operation of the washer. If you are determined to buy a quiet, almost silent equipment, then this option is not even worth considering. Users note the strong noise made by the machine during operation and the continuous vibration of its body.

The noise level produced by Electrolux EWS 1254 SDU does not depend on the evenness of the floor or the level installation of the equipment, in any case, the washing machine is incredibly noisy and “jumps”.

Such "dancing" washing machines are more likely to be repaired. During vibrations and "moving" around the room, the balances of the washing machine and dampers fail. As a result, you have to repair equipment more often. Strong vibration can provoke other, more serious problems in the system.

Hotpoint Ariston Technique

The only machine from this manufacturer, causing a lot of questions, was the Hotpoint-Ariston WMSD 7103 B. The model is produced in the Russian city of Lipetsk, and has nothing to do with high Italian build quality. The wash has become Russified, and this greatly affects its functioning.

Do not think that washing equipment formally assigned to the brand “from Italy” is less likely to fail. In fact, Lipetsk equipment breaks down with an enviable frequency. Of the advantages, the owners revealed only a stylish design of the case, a large hatch door, convenient for loading linen, and an impressive number of various additions.

With this, the list of Hotpoint-Ariston WMSD 7103 B benefits is coming to an end.The washing machine will require large labor and money costs for unexpected repairs. The model is equipped with a non-separable tank, which will undoubtedly lead to a higher cost of repair work. In the event of a bearing or seal failure, the tank will have to be completely replaced, the cost of which will be more than 50% of the price of a new washing machine. The vast majority of automatic machines brand Ariston have similar design features, so before buying it is better to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons. Other disadvantages of Hotpoint-Ariston WMSD 7103 B include:

• inefficient washing in short-term conditions. To wash things, you have to use long programs of 2-3 hours;
• excessive noise and rumble emitted by the washer during operation.

In addition, the presented model in 30% of cases of use "freezes" at the stage of water intake into the tank.

According to statistics, most users are not satisfied with the purchased equipment. Thoughts on the budget repair done by yourself, you will have to leave this model when purchasing this model.

Washers Gorenie

Quite often, complaints from professional repairmen are caused by washing machines from a Slovenian manufacturer. The most negative reviews were collected by a copy of the Gorenje W98Z25I. In comparison with the automatic machines listed above, this one works almost silently. The chic functionality of the equipment and reasonable price make it “fall in love” with the washing machine at first sight. However, during the operation of the Gorenje W98Z25I, all the flaws of the model “come out” out, namely:

• frequent malfunctions in the system;
• constantly breaking bearings;
• weak plastic housing;
• inefficient rinsing and spinning;
• too "smart" system of automatic balancing. Intelligence for a very long time looking for the optimal location of the laundry in the drum.

The main disadvantage of machines manufactured under the Gorenje brand is the disgusting work of service centers, which are almost impossible to find. If, nevertheless, you manage to transfer the “home assistant” for warranty repairs, be prepared to pay a lot of money for unprofessional work.

Zanussi washing machines

A striking representative of the brand, most often out of order, can be considered the ZWI 71201 WA washer. The technique is built-in, so the price of the unit is not quite low, which is typical for compact units. There are many advantages of the model:

• almost silent work during washing and spinning;
• capacious drum;
• high-performance spin at high speeds;
• increased efficiency in terms of water and electricity consumption;
• intelligent system management;
• extensive functionality and a set of add-ons.

According to statistics, users of the ZWI 71201 WA machine most often notice the unstable operation of the control unit. According to the estimates of the housewives, who launch not a couple of their favorite modes, but most of the programs provided in the typewriter, the control module often fails. The washing machine begins to wash as it sees fit, not at all guided by the parameters set by the user. The machine does not break, but starts to think for itself, not following the running mode.

When choosing a washing machine, focus on its maintainability in order to avoid unnecessary expenses for repairing equipment during future operation.

Repair of the washing machine will be difficult due to its equipment with a solid tank. It is impossible to disassemble a continuous drum, therefore, if its internal elements fail, it will be necessary to completely redesign. The replacement cost will be comparable to the purchase of new washing equipment. The Zanussi ZWI 71201 WA model is not entirely adequate in terms of repair, this factor should be taken into account before buying equipment.
