Repair of malfunctions of washing machines Atlant
Belarusian washing machines Atlas have not only an attractive external design, but also good technical characteristics. Of course, they can compete in these parameters, but hardly in reliability and durability. Therefore, the repair of Atlant washing machines is not as rare as experts say. Undoubtedly, it is easier to put the machine in the hands of the master, wait a couple of days, and then wash it in the previous mode, but in some cases you can fix the malfunction with your own hands, reducing money costs. Let’s figure out what these cases are and what needs to be done.
Typical failures and their causes
You can find out the cause of the breakdown and unstable operation of the washing machine by the characteristic symptoms that appear during washing, spinning, water collection. Most often, users of Atlant cars turn to masters with the following symptoms:
- The machine stopped turning on. There may be several reasons in this case. Malfunction of the outlet, wiring inside the machine, failure of the Start button or control module.
- The machine does not wring out the laundry. If the laundry remains wet, even wet, it means that the engine is broken, or the contacts on the engine are oxidized. It is possible that the cause of the poor spin is a malfunction of the control module. If the spinning process does not start at all, and the machine “freezes”, then, most likely, the laundry got lost in the drum, an imbalance in the load arose.
- The machine does not drain water. In this case, the cause is a breakdown of the drain pump or a blockage in the drain hose.
- The machine "jumps" and knocks during the spin cycle. This indicates the need bearing replacement.
- The machine washes in cold water. This is a common breakdown, the cause of which is the failure of the heater.
- Water leaks from the machine. The causes of this malfunction should be sought depending on where the water flows: under the machine, through the hatch door or through the powder receptacle. Therefore, the breakdown must be sought in the relevant details: the drain hose broke, the pipes or seals are worn out, the cuff is torn.
By listening carefully and looking closely at your washing machine, you will not miss the moment and in time you will find a malfunction. In some cases, it is simply impossible to delay the repair.
To establish the cause of a malfunction in many cases helps error codesappearing on the display of the Atlant washing machine. It is also worth noting a good system of self-diagnosis of malfunctions in some models of machines. Detailed instructions on how to start the self-diagnosis mode in one article cannot be described. The fact is that on different models of machines, the launch may differ, so it is best to read the instructions that came with the machine, or download the instructions for a specific model on the Internet.
The machine does not turn on: eliminate the causes
If the machine does not turn on, the first thing to check is the operability of the outlet. To do this, you can turn on another household appliance. If it’s not a power outlet, you will have to check the power cord, surge protector, and control board one at a time. To get to the electrics of the machine, just open the top cover, which is mounted on two bolts.
Having secured access to an electrician, inspect all the terminals and wires, perhaps already at this stage you will see burnt and oxidized elements. After inspection, you need to take a multimeter and ring the line filter and cable. If it turns out that the cable is defective, then it must be replaced with a new one. Sometimes the cable is sold complete with a surge protector.
If the electrician has nothing to do with the machine, then the reason that the machine does not turn on is the electronics, in particular, the Start button may not work. It is difficult to cope with such a problem independently. Therefore, the diagnosis of an exact breakdown and its elimination is best entrusted to a specialist.
Important! When working with the control module, you need to have some knowledge in this area, otherwise, if at least one wiring is not connected correctly, a working board can burn out.
Replacing a heating element
Frequent breakdown in washing machines is a breakdown of the heating element. As a rule, it breaks down due to physical wear and tear, its hard water service life is reduced. The scale settles on the ten, as a result of which the load on it increases. You can replace the ten in the washing machine with your own hands.
For this you need:
- Disassemble the machine, or rather remove the back cover of the case.
- Next, under the tank, find the heater itself, or rather its terminals.
- Disconnect the supply wires and the ground wire, and also disconnect the terminals from the thermistor, if it is built into the heater. On some models, the temperature sensor is installed separately.
- Weaken the central bolt by turning the nut several turns counterclockwise and try to push it in.
Pay attention! In Atlant washing machines, it’s not easy to pull the heater out of the holder, since the sealing gum is very “sour” or pressed in during installation.
- It is necessary to take a flat screwdriver and pick up the heater by the base, then pull it out with swaying movements from side to side.
- Before installing a new heater, do not forget to clean the "nest" from scale and debris.
- Reassemble everything in reverse order.
Checking the operability of water level and temperature sensors
A malfunction of the water level sensor (pressure switch) is usually manifested during the collection and discharge of water. The sensor does not send a signal about the level of the accumulated water and the tank may overflow with water, or the machine may stop before spinning, since the pressure switch does not give a signal about drained water, or the laundry will be poorly wrung out. In the article Checking the pressostat of the washing machine described how to get to this unit, remove and replace it.
As for the temperature sensor, in the case of a breakdown, the machine overheats the water, and sometimes it does not heat at all.
In order to check the operability of the sensor, it is necessary:
- Remove the back cover of the washing machine and remove the sensor. It can be located both at the base of the heating element and on the tank.
- Using a multimeter, measure the resistance of the sensor.
- We lower the sensor in hot water, give time to warm up a little.
- Again we measure the resistance of the sensor.
- Compare the measurements obtained: if they are significantly different, then the sensor is working, and if not, then change it to a new one.
When disconnecting the terminals, mark them so that they can then be connected back correctly.
Troubleshooting in the drain and bulk system
If at one fine moment the machine stopped draining water, then the search for the cause should begin with an inspection of the drain filter, hose, and then the drain pump. In the event that debris and foreign objects get into the filter, the machine can not only stop draining water, but also not turn on. Therefore, before putting the laundry and things into the drum, the pockets are inspected, and removes all unnecessary.
Cleaning the drain filter should be a regular procedure, so you save your machine from damage and yourself from spending on repairs. Clean the drain hose You can also do it yourself, the maximum cost is two hours of time.
The pump in the Atlant washing machine is located, as in all machines, in the lower part. You can remove it from the housing through the bottom, putting the unit on its side. This process is the same as in the machines Ariston, Beko, Samsung, we have repeatedly described it in articles on our website, for example, in an article about how to clean the drain pump of a washing machine.
As for excessive intake of water into the tank, in this case you have to check the water inlet valve. It is located on the rear side of the machine, in the upper part, on the outside, an inlet hose is connected to it. Therefore, to check and inspect the water inlet valve, it is necessary to disconnect the machine from the network and from the water supply, then open the top cover of the body.Next, disconnect from the wire and check the valve resistance with a multimeter, it should be about 2-4 ohms. Otherwise, change the valve, for this:
- We remove all the hoses from the valve, unclenching the clamps, we notice their correct location.
- We unscrew the bolts holding the valve. If the valve is mounted on latches, then you need to unclench them.
- We turn the valve to the side and pull out.
- We install the new unit according to the algorithm in the reverse order; the valve cannot be repaired.
Replacing engine and control module
One of the specific failures of the Atlant washing machine is the failure of the electric motor. In most cases, the engine can be repaired and you do not have to buy a new one. The fact is that the “weak link” in the engine is the brush. But this work requires some skill, so we would recommend in this case to contact a specialist.
We adhere to the same advice in the case of a malfunction of the control board. A board is a complex microcircuit, which can only be dealt with with special equipment and tools. Based on the results of an accurate diagnosis, you can decide whether to change an expensive unit or still buy a new machine.
Breakdown Prevention Tips
Even the most reliable equipment fails, and what can I say if the washing machine is assembled from Chinese components. However, in this case, the machine can be called the reasons for the breakdown of the machine:
- Water quality for washing.
- Incorrect installation and connection of the machine.
- Terms of Use.
To summarize this article, recall the basic rules that will help extend the life of your assistant:
- Always check your pockets for small items and debris.
- Carry out regular descaling.
- Use softeners for hard water, such as a cleaning filter.
- Rinse and clean the drain filter regularly.
- Wipe the cuff and powder cuvette after each wash with a dry cloth so that mold does not develop.
