Candy washing machine won't turn on

Kandy washing machine won't turn onIt’s unpleasant when a washing machine filled with powder and dirty laundry refuses to turn on and does not react in any way to your manipulations. But there is no need to switch to hand washing: in most cases, you can determine the source of the problem yourself. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to open the unit and sort through the cords with the parts. If the Candy washing machine does not turn on, then it is enough to check just a few possible reasons. Detailed instructions and recommendations are below.

Malfunctions not related to the machine

Don't immediately blame the machine. Most often, the washing machine does not work due to a lack of power. This happens for several reasons.

  1. The plug is not connected to the network. It’s easy to forget to plug the cord into the outlet in a hurry, so troubleshooting should start from the very basics.
  2. No electricity. It is likely that there is no light in the entire house.
  3. The machine was knocked out. We check the corresponding machine in the communal control panel. If it turns off, there may be a short circuit. It is important to cock the bag again, and the next time it is knocked out, call a specialist for help.
  4. The RCD tripped. There are two options here: the residual current device has “got on” or reacted to a current leakage that has occurred. In any case, you cannot do without the help of an electrician.
    The socket for the washing machine is broken
  5. The socket is faulty. It is easy to exclude this version: just turn on another electrical appliance, check the voltage with a lamp or multimeter. A broken socket will have to be replaced by removing the old one, cleaning the contacts, installing a working one and carefully securing all the terminals.There is an alternative option: move the washing machine to a functioning outlet and complete the wash.

It is better to filter out problems based on the given list, moving from common and “easy” problems to rare and complex ones.

When checking the electrical network, follow basic safety rules and, if in any doubt, contact a professional. And if the wiring is functioning normally, other options need to be considered.

Power cord and FPS

Also, the Candy machine does not turn on if the power cord is faulty. However, its performance is easy to check yourself. First, we inspect the wire for squeezing, melting, burning, or try to detect a burning smell. If there are no visible integrity violations, we test for breakdown:noise filter on washing machine

  • disconnect the machine from the power supply;
  • freeing up space around the machine;
  • remove the top cover;
  • we are looking for where the wire “comes” from;
  • disconnect the cable from the FPS;
  • disconnect the cord;
  • set the multimeter to the appropriate measurement;
  • testing the cord for breakdown.
    check the filter with a tester

The negative result speaks for itself - the cord is fully functional. Then we start testing the interference filter, which often suffers from power outages and burns out. To do this, you will have to compare the voltage values ​​at the “input” and “output”, and if there are deviations, replace the part.

Program switch and control module

If there are no problems with external and internal wiring, and the machine still does not start, you need to pay attention to the control panel. More precisely, on the program switch and control module. The easiest way is to replace the old part with a new one, but in most cases such expensive repairs are not justified. A time-tested module is cheaper and more reliable if it is properly repaired.

Kandy washing machine control module

True, it is impossible to repair the switch yourself without special knowledge and practice. Therefore, it is recommended not to experiment and immediately contact a washing machine repair service.

Detailed instructions on what to do if the Kandy machine does not turn on will help you quickly and easily diagnose the source of the problem, fix the problem and complete the planned wash. The main thing is not to rush to conclusions, but to thoroughly check and eliminate all possible causes. And it’s better to call an experienced master who will dot the i’s.
