The washing machine does not wash after a set of water

An automatic washing machine is a complex household appliance that can malfunction. And sometimes it happens at the most inopportune moment. What if the machine draws water for washing, but after that the process does not start, why does the machine not wash? A similar problem is not uncommon, and the reasons for this may be different.

Causes of malfunction

If the washing machine draws water, but does not work further, this does not mean at all that it will have to be thrown away. Some causes of such a breakdown can be eliminated with your own hands. So, what can happen, why the wash does not start?

• The drive belt has flown (if any).
• There was a breakdown in the electric motor, so the drum does not rotate.
• The ten burned out, which means that the water does not heat up - the washing does not start.
• There is a malfunction in the control board (rarely happens).

Change the drive belt

If the washing machine has a direct drive, then this malfunction is immediately excluded, since there is no drive belt in such a machine. Otherwise, it is best to start the diagnosis of the washing machine with a belt. This is one of the most common reasons that the machine is collecting water, but the wash does not start.

What could happen to the belt? It can fly off during improper transportation or installation, or wear out from prolonged use, which requires replacement. In all washing machines with belt drive and front loading of laundry, the belt is located behind the back cover of the housing. On top-loading machines, the belt is located behind the side cover. When removing the cover should not be a problem, you just need to unscrew all the bolts holding this cover.

If the belt has fallen off, it must be pulled out of the case and carefully inspected for any defects, if any are found, it must be replaced with a new one. To wear a working belt, you need:

1. put it on the engine first.
2. with your left hand pull the belt up, and with your right hand begin to put it on the pulley;
3. then gently turning the pulley counterclockwise, we put on the belt completely.

Replacing the faulty belt, start the test washing mode, make sure that the machine carries out the washing mode as needed.

We check ten and the engine of the machine

The second reason, as a result of which the washing machine may stop washing, is a malfunction in the electric motor, or rather wear on the brushes inside it. But the motor in the washing machine can be asynchronous, that is, without brushes. In this case, the starting capacitor fails.

Note! The engine may not start in case of overheating, for example, after 2-3 hour and a half washes in a row. In this case, you just need to leave the car for a while, let the engine cool.

To replace the brushes in the engine, it is necessary to remove the engine. Usually it is mounted on a pair of bolts. In addition, you must remove the existing sensors and belt from the engine. Now we take the engine and use a screwdriver to remove the terminal from the brush.
Now we put a small plate into the slot, bend it and pull it out. Similarly, the second brush is removed.

Next, we insert a new brush into the brush holder, compress the brush spring and fix this spring with a plate. We put a terminal on the plate. In the same way we put the second brush. Putting a washing machine.

In some models of washing machines, after the machine draws water, washing may not start due to breakdown of the heater. In this case, there is no heating of the water, and the temperature sensor does not send a signal in order to continue the washing process. But at the same time, an error code regarding the breakdown of the heating element must appear on the display. Would need check the operation of ten and if necessary replace it with a new one.

Problem in the control board

If the check of the engine, heater, drive belt did not reveal the reason that the machine draws water and does not start washing, then there is a high probability of a breakdown in the electrics or control module. Checking electrics is a painstaking job involving inspecting all terminals and wires. Perhaps some wire burned out or the terminal was oxidized, having cleaned it, you can restore the machine to working capacity.

It is quite another matter if there is a malfunction in the electronic board. It is through it that the washing stages are switched, in particular, when the machine draws water and the water reaches a certain level, a signal arrives from the pressostat to the module, then a signal should go from the module to the engine, but this does not happen due to a malfunction.

If the control board breaks down, it is better to contact a professional who can determine whether the board can be repaired or replaced completely. If you are good with electronics, you can try to check the board yourself. But we would not recommend taking risks - why? Because it can turn into even bigger problems.

Some users note that if the machine draws water, but does not start washing, the cause may be a clogged drain filter or hose. And after cleaning the drainage system, the machine starts to work as it should. In our opinion, users in this case do not agree on all the “symptoms” of the washing machine, or describe them incorrectly, meaning under the phrase “does not erase” the symptom “does not drain”, “the program freezes”, etc.

It is very important for an accurate "diagnosis" to correctly describe the symptoms of a breakdown of the washing machine.

So, we note that the washing machine may not start washing after water has been drawn for several reasons. Most of these causes are fairly easy to determine on your own, and then fix the problem. It would be desire and patience, and everything else will follow. Have a good repair!
