Samsung washing machine does not turn on

Samsung washing machine does not turn onThe washing is canceled, and now all plans are violated, and all due to the fact that the Samsung washing machine does not turn on. There can really be many reasons for such an incident. But before you panic, you need to determine what happened. Of course, the breakdown can be significant and the help of a specialist will be needed. Although, it is likely that you can fix the problem yourself.

What are we checking first?

Before rushing to disassemble the washing machine, it is necessary to eliminate external causes that could affect its operation. Let's start with the most common:

  1. It is worth making sure of the connection to the power supply and the availability of electricity in the apartment.
  2. Check if the outlet to which the washing machine is connected works. This is easy to do by turning on any other electrical appliance. If it works, then everything is okay with the outlet.
  3. If you use an extension cord, then make sure it is in good condition. Often a wire break becomes the basis for a lack of electricity.malfunctioning outlet
  4. The presence of water. First, in the water supply, and then its access to the washing machine.
  5. Pay attention to the weight of the loaded laundry. If the permissible norm is exceeded, the program will not start. And in some cases, the entire device may break down.
  6. A faulty RCD can block operation. In modern apartments in electrical panels there is a residual current device. In the event of a short circuit, it blocks the supply of electricity to the apartment.
  7. Is the sunroof tightly closed? If the door is not pressed sufficiently and the lock does not click, then washing does not start.
  8. Sometimes the washing machine fails due to a sudden voltage drop. And even in the on state it does not function and nothing lights up on the display. Manufacturers recommend disconnecting the device from the power supply when not in use.
  9. Very weak water pressure. The pump does not have enough power to collect a sufficient amount of washing liquid, and the machine turns off.
  10. Pay attention to the entire system for connecting household appliances. It happens if the instructions for supplying the drain are violated, then the entire washer does not function.

Diagnostics is greatly simplified if your machine is equipped with an electronic display. In this case, a combination of bulbs will indicate a breakdown. You can decrypt it by reading the value of the signal designations in the instructions for the washing machine. Usually, specialists in repair workshops for household appliances can easily cope with failed parts.

Most likely breakdowns

So, we tested the device for external damage. Now consider the options for a malfunctioning machine. We recommend that you prepare in advance the necessary tools that you may need for this. First of all, of course, you will need a multimeter, a modern device that combines the functions of an ammeter and a voltmeter. It is used to measure current and resistance; some models determine temperature. The tester is always useful at home, as it is indispensable in the repair of any household appliances. Well and, of course, prepare screwdrivers and a wrench. We will begin to look at the individual elements of the washing machine so as not to miss the malfunction.

Do not forget about safety precautions. And first of all, we disconnect the device from power supply.

We will diagnose the cord and plug. Pay attention to the integrity of the wire at the places of bending and connection with the plug. Often this is where a kink occurs. Try moving the metal pins in the plug. They must remain motionless. There may be internal damage to these elements. To check, call the tester. To do this, put the device in the "buzzer" mode, and a peculiar squeak will signal the serviceability of the part.

We pass to the hatch door.We know that in order for the washer to start the program, the hatch must be tightly closed. A click is heard that indicates a lock. Visually determine the health of the lock is impossible if there is no mechanical damage. We will use a multimeter. Check the resistance. Caution, the washing machine must be disconnected from the electricity.

Open the door. Touch the tester with probes to the opposite sides of the lock. And look at the instrument panel. In the absence of resistance, the indicator is 0, in the presence of infinity. We close the door. And we do the same actions. If the indicator has changed, then the lock is working, if not, then it will have to be dismantled and replaced. This process is not complicated. You can handle it yourself.

Test the power button. To do this, we again use the multimeter and the dialer function, as described in paragraph 1. If there is no signal, you will have to put a new button. FPS failure in the washing machine can also block its operation. This device is designed to filter electromagnetic interference from other household appliances. Located under the lid. Remove it and measure the voltage. To do this, put the tester in the "voltage" mode. Clips touch the different ends of the device and read the indicators on the scoreboard.possibly faulty control module

The most difficult subject to check is the electronic module. Repair is carried out only by a specialist service center, but diagnostics can be carried out independently. Remove the module, it is located behind the control panel in the washing machine. And ring each element with a tester, thus determining its performance.

The cause of equipment malfunction may be a clogged filter. To check it, unscrew the drain hose on the back of the washer. Remove the filter and rinse it. We examined the most common damage to a Samsung automatic machine. Most of them can be repaired on their own.

It is worth checking the heating element

In more detail we will describe how to check the health of the heating element. The fact is that damage to the heater blocks the operation of the entire washer. With such a breakdown, a protective mechanism is triggered, since a leakage of current to the housing occurs. Probably, the TEN is broken. It is one of the most important parts of the device. To check it, you have to spend time and dismantle the case. We hope that the detailed instructions will help to cope with the task. So what to do:

  • Position the washing machine so that all of its sides are freely accessible.
  • Get rid of residual fluid in the tank. To do this, remove the trash filter.
  • Pull out the compartment for washing powder and other detergents.
  • There are bolts on the back of the case. They must be unscrewed to detach the top panel.
  • Under the cuvette are the mounting screws. We twist them. And on the right side there is another one that also needs to be removed. Total 3 screws.
  • Move the control panel very carefully. We will not disconnect it at all.
  • A plastic clamp is located around the entire circumference of the hatch. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to pick it up and carefully remove it.
  • Carefully insert the hatch of the hatch into the washing tub.
  • Using the same flathead screwdriver, carefully hook the front decorative panel. Take it out. Access to the steel frame of the washing machine.
  • Now at the bottom on the front wall you can easily see 4 bolts. They need to be unscrewed.
  • Then, very carefully, so as not to damage the electrical wires, move the control panel to the top cover of the AGR. Now you need to unscrew the 3 more screws that were under the panel. They fix the front of the case.it is worth checking the heater

The most complex manipulations to extract the heating elements have already been completed. It remains only to disconnect the front wall. To do this, it must be removed from the hooks on which it rests. Grasp the lower ends of the panel and gently lift it up.

No effort is required, as this may damage the wires that are attached to the hatch lock.

Thus, access to the temperature sensor and the heating element was opened. Now it is possible to check for damage. Try to position the control panel as reliably as possible; its fall will most likely lead to serious breakdowns.

So, we proceed to the diagnosis of heating elements. To do this, we again need a multimeter. Put it in resistance measurement mode. We look at the performance of the tester, setting the first clamp on one contact, and the second on the other. If a value from 25-30 Ohms is displayed on the board, then be sure that this heater is working. In the case when the indicator is 0 or 1, we conclude that the part does not work. Accordingly, a broken element must be replaced.

In the article, we examined in detail the possible options for breaking the AGR. We hope that the information received will help restore the functionality of your household appliances.
