Do it yourself Gorenje washing machine malfunction repair
Automatic washing machines Gorenie are well known not only in the Russian market or in the market of the Commonwealth countries, but also in the European market. No matter how advanced and sophisticated the Gorenje technique is, it breaks just like any other and needs to be repaired. How to repair Gorenje washing machines, and what generally breaks down on such machines more often? Read about all this in the article.
What often fails?
Gorenje brand owners have always known how to make their equipment more attractive to consumers. Even today, when almost every manufacturer produces “super-sophisticated” automatic washing machines, under the Gorenie brand you can purchase unique equipment. What are their automatic washing machines with water tankthat are independent of the water supply! Well, yes, it’s not about the technical characteristics of Gorenie’s cars today, but about how to repair these machines.
To begin with, we will deal with the vulnerabilities of these washing machines, here is a list of the most frequent breakdowns that occur with various models of Gorenie machines. This list is compiled using statistics provided by leading service centers of the Russian Federation. Here is the list.
- According to statistics, most often in such machines, the drain pump breaks. Almost ¼ calls to service centers are related to breakdown of the washing machine pump G
- In second place is the heating element.
- On the third - problems with the drain pipe.
- And finally, on the fourth - engine brushes.
In fifth place, with a very small margin, there is a breakdown of the hatch door handle. But we will not be able to eliminate such a breakdown with our own hands and describe it, the main thing here is to find and buy an original part, which can be a difficult task.
The pump does not function
The drainage pumps of the Gorenie washing machines really break something very often. Most likely, this is due to the operating conditions of the washing machines. The fact is that the original pumps of Gorenie’s washing machines are sensitive to water containing impurities of salts of heavy metals. The movable elements are so close to each other that the plaque formed on them, due to water, blocks their work, accelerating wear. As a result, the pump breaks down and needs to be changed. How to fix such malfunctions with your own hands without inviting the master?
- We disconnect the washing machine from communications.
- We take out the powder receiver, pour out the remaining water from it and shove it back.
- We take out the car to where it will be convenient to carry out repairs.
- You need to get to the pump through the bottom of the machine, so we tilt it on its side.
- Unlike other brands of automatic washing machines, Gorenie’s washing machines are closed on all sides. The bottom is also covered with a lid, so you need to remove it by unscrewing a few screws.
- Having removed the cover, we expose the part of interest to us, which is located next to the drain pipe - you will not confuse it with anything.
- Now we need to make sure that the pump is malfunctioning. We take a multimeter, disconnect the plug with wires from the drain pump and measure the resistance. The device should show about 160 ohms or more. If the multimeter shows nothing, the pump is broken.
- We remove the old pump by unscrewing several fasteners holding it.
- We purchase the original pump and put it in place of the old one, not forgetting to attach the plug with wires into place.
- We put the bottom in place, and then we connect the washing machine for testing - the work is finished.
Be careful! Malfunctions of this kind can be easily fixed with your own hands, the main thing is to carefully work with the measuring device, do not confuse anything. And then you can throw out a working pump and the problem, accordingly, will not be solved.
Drain pipe leaking
A rather specific problem of the Goryeni washing machine is the failure of the drain pipe.The specificity lies in the fact that, in appearance, fairly strong nozzles get damaged in the knee (in the double bend of the nozzle). Why it happens? There are three main reasons:
- Poor material of which the pipe is made. Factory defect, which then leads to the formation of cracks in the pipe, and as a result, to leakage.
- The hit of a sharp foreign object, which, having no ability to overcome the knee, sticks into it, creating damage.
- Use of very aggressive cleaning agents. There are many users who, having read the articles and seen a video about cleaning the washing machine, start pouring any aggressive chemistry into their “home assistant” in the hope of getting rid of dirt and water stone. It can get rid of dirt and succeeds, but along with the mud, part of the machine parts dissolves (a joke).
In this case, the repair of the Gorenje washing machines should be started by checking the hoses and pipes. You will not immediately understand that it was the drain pipe that flowed, so first inspect the drain hose for damage, and then disassemble the washing machine. The drain pipe can also be reached through the bottom of the washing machine. There is a pipe next to the drain pump.
Then we just have to get the original pipe, unscrew the clamps holding the leaky part and put a new one in its place.
Important! When mounting a new nozzle, be careful, it should "sit" well in its place, and each connection must be securely pulled by a clamp. In this case, the clamp does not need to be pulled - this will damage the pipe.
Burned out heating element
Ten is a weakness not only in Gorenje washing machines, most brands of automatic washing machines suffer from such a sore, and there are a lot of objective reasons for this.
- Impurities in water, which settle in the form of limescale on the heater, putting it out of action.
- Problems with the power supply (voltage drops, etc.).
- Operating conditions (frequent incorrect shutdowns of the washing machine by the user or washing at 900WITH).
One way or another, if the Gorenie washing machine stopped heating water, it means that it is a malfunction and, therefore, it is necessary, at least, to check the heating element and, if necessary, replace it. What is the order of work?
To change the heater with your own hands, you must first prepare the washing machine for work, namely, disconnect it from electricity, water and sewage. After that, pull the machine out of the niche or the cabinet and turn the back wall towards you. Before your eyes you will have a service hatch that needs to be opened by unscrewing a few screws.
We can already see the heating element, but it is inconvenient to work with it, since the drive belt interferes. Remove the belt from the drum pulley.
Next, remove the wires from the contacts of the heating element. In order not to mix up the wires later, it is better to immediately put labels on them or take photographs.
Now we take an ohmmeter and check the resistance of the heating element. We set the minimum resistance value on the device. We install probes on two extreme contacts. The working ten has a resistance of 10-30 or more ohms, depending on the heater power. If the device showed 0 or 1, then the heater must be replaced.
Important! If the heater is OK, but the water does not heat up, check the thermistor and wires coming from the thermistor and heater.
What needs to be done to pull out the old heating element from the tank of the washing machine?
- We unscrew the fastening nut holding the heater in the groove. There is a nut between the contacts of the heating element exactly in the middle.
- We press pliers on the mounting bolt to tear the ten from the seat, but do not overdo it so as not to break anything.
- Next, we take our hands on the contacts of the heating element and shake it from side to side, pulling the heater towards you. If you cannot pull it out, you can spray the edges with grease WD-40 and wiggle again.
- Once you managed to remove the old heater, do not rush to put a new one in its place.First, gently push your fingers into the hole and try to scrape out the debris from the bottom of the tank; if the machine is not new, there is plenty of debris there.
- Now you can put a new heating element. We put it in the groove and make sure that the ten "sat down" tightly.
- We fasten the fixing nut with our own hands, but it is not necessary to tighten it strongly so as not to break it.
- We catch the wires, we put on the drive belt.
- It remains only to close the service hatch, put the car in place Gorenie, connect it and test.
Engine brushes worn
Deterioration of the engine brushes is also a common malfunction that occurs in Gorenie washing machines. What are the signs of such a malfunction, how to understand that it is necessary to change the engine brushes? First, engine power will drop dramatically and the drum will spin much more slowly. Secondly, the car will start to smell like a burned one, and when the engine is running, most likely, a crack will be heard. Third, brush wear can be recognized by the machine’s self-diagnosis system Gorenje, displaying an error F4.
When such symptoms appear, it is necessary to check the engine - it is the 80% probability that it is the cause of the error. How to do it?
- Open the rear service hatch of the washing machine as described above. You will see the engine immediately, because it is located directly under the tank.
- Next, you need to remove the drive belt from the tank pulley so that it does not stop us from pulling out the engine.
- Now we unscrew the bolts holding the engine of the Gorenje washing machine.
- We go around the washing machine in front, take out the powder cuvette, pour water out of it, and then set it back.
- We lower the washing machine on its side and remove its bottom.
- Disconnect the plug with wires from the engine of the washing machine.
- We pull off the engine from the seat as shown in the figure below.
- Now we need to remove the brushes from the engine of the washing machine and inspect them for wear. It is difficult to confuse worn-out brushes with new workers, they are partially or strongly erased and smell of burning.
- We install new brushes, fasten them, “sit” the engine on the seat and connect the wires to it. We fasten the bottom.
When installing the engine on a seat, make sure that it "sits" all the way, otherwise in the future this may cause a malfunction.
- We put the washing machine on its feet, go around it at the back and fasten the engine with bolts.
- We put in place the drive belt, and then close the service hatch.
- We connect the washing machine and check the operation of the engine - the work is finished.
In conclusion, we note that almost all of the common breakdowns of Gorenie washing machines can be repaired with their own hands without involving craftsmen and without paying them a lot of money. But be extremely careful and careful, before you do something, read the instructions contained in our publication. Have a good repair!

Washer Combustion ws 41091 pumps water, but the drum does not rotate and the water does not heat up. Several times he poured water and pumped again - the effect is the same.
The drum thundered. He pulled a white plastic ball from a drum through a rubber pipe. Where does he not tell me?

During washing, a machine with a tank slowly dumps water into the sewer. What is the reason?
You did not correctly install the end of the drain hose, according to the instructions it should be at least 50-60 cm from the floor, you probably have it below the tank level. Therefore, as a rule, self-draining occurs.
After washing, the door does not open, the start-pause indicator lights up.

Disabling is simple - press and hold the two buttons combined with a bracket pointing to the “key” or “lock” icon and that’s it! At least it helped me, the car is in order. And I already wanted to call the master. Would come, press two buttons and pay for the call! Thanks to the internet!
