Atlant washing machine malfunctions

Reasonable price and decent quality provided Belarusian washing machines with considerable popularity. A three-year warranty on equipment makes it possible to have a free service repair. But what to do if the warranty has long expired and the malfunction is there. In this case, you need to evaluate the problem yourself, which we will help you do. Next, decide for yourself to contact the master or repair yourself.

Frequent malfunctions, their causes

To begin with, according to statistics on the breakdown of the Atlant washing machine, production-related defects are extremely rare, in 2-3% of cases. For the most part, the performance of the washing machine is disrupted due to:

• water quality;
• foreign, small objects falling into the drum;
• excess powder or other detergent;
• wear parts.

Simply put, in violation of the operating rules of the washing machine and without proper care, the likelihood of an early breakdown of equipment increases. A variety of problems can arise, mainly the wear of parts, such as:

• a heating element;
• tank bearings;
• drain pump.

Another of the frequent breakdowns of cars of this brand, which experts note, is jamming of the door lock.

The consequences of failure of any of these nodes are very different. These are leaks, machine freezes with a full tank of water, poor quality of washing. Any of the problems must be solved in a timely manner, not delayed, because this will aggravate the matter, complicate the repair. In most cases, a malfunction of a particular part of the unit can be found by error code on the display, this will reduce the search time.

Replacing the pump and heater

If there is water in the machine and there is no sound of a running motor, then the most likely cause of the malfunction is a pump breakdown. Its replacement is quite simple. In Atlant washing machines, this is done through the bottom. We perform the following work:

• drain all water from the tank through the filter at the bottom of the machine;
• we take out a cuvette for powder and conditioner;
• we turn the washer on the left side;
• if there is, we unscrew the bottom of the machine;
• we turn off the pump, usually it is held by 3 screws;
• disconnect the wires and pipe;
• take a new Askoll pump and connect a pipe and wires to it;
• we fix the pump itself;
• we connect the machine to communications.

Replacing the heating element can also be done by yourself. In most models of washing machines, Atlant ten is located behind, under the tank. Therefore, the machine will have to be disassembled at a minimum by unscrewing only the back wall. Before pulling the heater out of the seat, you need to disconnect the sensor and wires, and also loosen the holding bolt. Only after that, with shaky movements, pull the part onto yourself. Having cleaned the place under the heater from dirt, you can install a new one by following all the steps in the reverse order.

Note! Sometimes it’s very difficult to get out of the connector, so you have to make an effort. WD-40 can be used to soften rust.

Door Lock Problem

If the hatch door does not close tightly, the machine will simply not turn on, and washing will not start. There may be several reasons for this:

• the lock device has worn out from prolonged use;
• inaccurate closure, slamming the door, which led to a defect;
• a foreign body, a small object fell into the hole in the castle.

If the cause of the breakdown is not trash, then in all other cases, the door lock is best replaced, or rather replaced by a locking device. To do this, slightly remove the cuff from the locking device, unscrew the screws holding the part and disconnect the wires. Then take out the device and put a new one in its place.

Bearing wear

Replacement of bearings in a washing machine is a difficult repair.Changing them yourself is not so easy if you are doing this for the first time. But this can be done if you do not rush and have the desire to repair everything. The bearings are in the drum, and therefore you have to disassemble almost the entire washer in order to remove them. We already described all the work in the article. How to change the bearing in the Atlant washing machinetherefore we will not repeat.

So, the malfunctions listed by us happen most often. They can be completely eliminated on their own. Of course, the control board may burn out, but in this case it is better to contact the master if you are not. Have a good repair!
