Ardo washing machine does not turn on

Ardo does not turn onIf for some reason your Ardo washing machine does not turn on and does not start, do not rush to call the service center. It is very likely that this problem is completely solvable, the main thing is not to panic and act carefully in accordance with the recommendations that will be given by us in this article. And you always have time to spend money on the master!

List of reasons for breakdown

What caused this behavior of the Ardo brand washing machine. Offhand, no master will tell you, you need to look. However, initially it will be useful to identify the range of possible malfunctions that could potentially lead to such consequences. What are these malfunctions?

  1. Problems with the mains, circuit breakers, socket, extension cord.the car does not turn on
  2. Problems with the power cord, plug.
  3. FPS burned out - line capacitor.
  4. The hatch blocking device has failed.
  5. The on / off button contacts are burnt.
  6. The control module has broken.

The first two reasons from this list are called by the master jokingly “childish”, although for a housewife who unexpectedly encountered such a malfunction, they may seem quite serious. The third, fourth and fifth reason require minor repairs. And finally, the sixth reason is the most multifaceted.

If everything works out by replacing the burned-out triac on the control board, then this is a medium-sized repair. And if several semiconductor components burned out along with the tracks, then this is a complicated and expensive repair, or a replacement board, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

"Baby" cases

If the Ardo brand washing machine does not turn on and does not start, you should immediately begin the searchoutlet burned out malfunctions. Where to begin? And you need to start with the simplest reasons. It is easiest to check them, while the washing machine will remain in place. At the first stage, it will not have to be disassembled, disconnected from communications, or moved. What should be done?

  1. Unplug the washing machine from the outlet, insert the plug of the appliance into this outlet and turn it on. This is the easiest way to verify that the outlet is working.
  2. If the outlet works, check the extension cord to which the Ardo washer is connected in the same way.

Be careful! Burnt and bare wires, as well as damaged sockets, pose a real danger. Observe safety precautions when working with electrical communications.

  1. Ardo's washing machine may refuse to operate due to a damaged power cord. For check the wire with a testerFirst, inspect the wire and plug visually, perhaps the insulation layer is damaged somewhere or there are signs of fusion. If this is found, the wire cannot be operated.
  2. If it was not possible to detect anything visually, check the wire for breakdown with a multimeter. Set the instrument toggle switch to test the resistance (minimum value). Touch one probe of the appliance to the right prong of the plug of the power cord of the washing machine and the other with the probe to the left. If a value in the region of 2 Ohms lights up on the instrument panel, the power cord and plug are working; if the value is 9-12 Ohms or more, the wire is faulty, a complete or partial break is present.

If you find problems with the network cable, do not try to repair it with your own hands, open the insulation, change individual wires of the wire. Change the entire wire together with the plug, it will be more reliable and reliable, and most importantly safer for you and your washing machine.

Burned mains capacitor

network capacitorThe Ardo brand washing machine does not turn on and does not start not only because of the network cable and problems with the electrical communications at home, such problems can arise due to the FPS, the so-called interference filter or network capacitor. This semiconductor element is installed in the washing machine in order to absorb significant interference that is present in the household electrical network.And thus preserve the sensitive electronics, which is stuffed with a washing machine.

The interference filter is located at the end of the power cord inside the washer. To get it you will have to remove the top cover of the Ardo washing machine. We unscrew the two fixing bolts, pull the cover onto ourselves and remove it. Under the cover, in the place where the power cord fits, you will see a capacitor. We disconnect the wires from it and pull out the part from the washing machine.

Attention! Carrying out the above manipulations, make sure that the washing machine is de-energized.

We set the multimeter to the minimum resistance value and call the capacitor. When you call a part, you will see that the value begins to grow quite quickly until a large number or -1 is displayed on the scoreboard. This will mean that the capacitor is working. If you started the test, and the number 1 or 0 immediately appeared on the scoreboard, the capacitor must be changed.

check the capacitor

We get a new capacitor, put it in the place of the old one, connect the wires, put the cover in place, make a connection and watch how the washing machine works, how it turns on and starts. If everything is correct - the repair was successful!

The on / off button has broken

power buttonThe reason that the Ardo brand washing machine does not turn on and does not start may be the on / off button. Most often, such a malfunction occurs in old washing machines that have already worked for 10-12 years. The likely causes of such a breakdown may be:

  • wear of the contacts, in this case, before finally breaking the button, the button will start to work once, or even twice;
  • contact with the buttons of water, liquid detergent and other chemicals;
  • contact oxidation due to operation in high humidity conditions.

What do we need to do? First, remove the control panel of the washing machine to get to the desired button. Remove the top cover of the washing machine, unscrew all the fasteners holding the front panel and remove it. Next, we need to examine the contacts of the button and ring them with a multimeter. In this case, we deal with the device in the same way as described above. When the values ​​1 or 0 appear on the board, you can assume that the button has burned out and needs to be changed.

Note! On some models of Ardo washing machines, the control panel is mounted on plastic latches, to remove it you need to gently pry them, without breaking anything.

We remove the old button, in some cases we have to use a soldering iron, put in its place a new, original one. We install the control panel in place, connect and check the "home assistant". If the washing machine turns on and starts fine, then everything is fine, but if during the test you determined that the button is working, then everything is worse than it could be - the control module has failed.

Problem with control module

control boardDamage to the control module of the washing machine is a rather serious malfunction, requiring the intervention of a good specialist. It does not matter whether you will repair the chip or change it, all this should be done by the master. If you, having checked all the above details, are convinced that this is definitely a control board, prepare money and call the wizard. Self-repair of the control chip is possible only in the most extreme case, if you have the skills to work with electronics.

The probability of success is low, but in this case we will not focus on this issue. If you are interested in the question of the possibility of repairing the control board yourself, read the publication on the topic Is it worth it to repair electronic modules with your own hands? Our advice on this subject is clear - contact a good service center.

    I had such a situation: when the machine was turned on, the lamp on the front panel lit up, but nothing happened, neither a set of water, nor a rotation of the drum, in any mode. I accidentally pulled the plug from the outlet, then stuck it again and it worked - apparently, the circuit was reset.

    Hello. The ardo tl80e machine washes and hung, did not even have time to drain the water. The castle was changed a couple of months ago. After disconnecting from the network, the start button does not respond, of course the program does not include.
    I understand the problem in the control unit?

  9. Gravatar Oleg Oleg:

    Good evening! The ARDO washer completed the wash. The end lamp is on and that's it! Uploaded a new batch of things! And the mode does not turn on!
