Washing machines Electrolux

Washing machines ElectroluxElectrolux - Sweden, done wisely! This phrase, coming down from the TV screens, is remembered by many. And the quality of the washing machines and their reliability really turned out to be “done” honestly. But can it be said that the modern Electrolux washing machine is as reliable as the first units, because their production is located not only in Sweden, but also in China, Poland and other countries. This is what we will tell.

Electrolux Brand History

Let's start with a short history of the creation and development of the corporation. And it begins in 1901, when Lux appeared in Stockholm, which was engaged in the production of kerosene lamps. In 1910, Elektromekaniska AB was established in Sweden to manufacture motors. By this time, things at the Lux production had declined, as electricity appeared, so it was decided to start producing not lamps, but vacuum cleaners.

This production idea interested Axel Wenner-Gren, who worked as a sales agent, who decided to work for Lux. So since 1912, he begins to cooperate with them, and after a couple of years he creates his own production under the name Svenska Elektron. The business of the company began to advance with success, and then Wenner-Gren acquired Elektromekaniska. After another 2 years, he receives a proposal to merge with Lux. So in 1918, Ele Corporation appeared.ktrolux (at first they wrote with "k").

Elektrolux begins to manufacture refrigerators and vacuum cleaners, selling them abroad. The war years did not break production. So in 1944 the production of industrial washing machines began; in 1951, the first W20 household washing machines appeared.

Since 1957, the name of the corporation begins to be written through "c" Electrolux. The founder is considered to be Swede Axel Wenner-Gren.

Today, Electrolux is the largest complex for the production of household, professional and garden equipment, with its main office in Stockholm. She appeared in Russia since 1994. In 2005, a home appliance manufacturing plant under this brand was founded in St. Petersburg, but in 2010 it was closed at a loss due to the uncompetitive price of the goods. For Russian consumers, automatic machines were too expensive compared to competitors, despite the high quality. The main consumers of this equipment are still the countries of Europe and the USA.

Modern technology: quality and reliability

Only a small fraction of the range of washing machine models that can be seen in the store is produced in Sweden. Most are assembled at factories in China, Poland, Germany and Ukraine. For example, the manufacturer of the EW 1010 F and EWF 1486 models is Germany. The EWF 1090 and EWF 1086 models are of Italian assembly, the EWC 1350 and EWC 1150 cars are assembled in Poland, but the EWF 147410 A and EWF 106410 A models - in Ukraine.

Important! Electrolux company exercises the highest control over production, just so as not to spoil the reputation and fame, therefore the quality of automatic machines does not depend on what country they were going to.

Thanks to reliability, washing machines from Electrolux can last up to 20 years with perfect operation. In order for the equipment to serve the person to the maximum and not affect the environment, the manufacturer Electrolux tries to introduce all modern technologies into the models. Thanks to these technologies, the machines have a high washing quality. What is there in washing machines?

  • Steam System function, which means steam processing. This function is given to more expensive models of “washing machines”. After steaming, things are not only easier to wash, even from the most difficult spots, but also easier to smooth.This function can be used both in conjunction with washing, and separately to refresh things. Steam kills germs and allergens, which is also very important and beneficial.

  • My Favorite Plus technology, which consists in the fact that the machine automatically remembers frequently used programs and functions. As a result of this, the next time she launches, she will offer the memorized programs, which will save the user choice time, it will remain to press Start, and the technician will do the rest. In general, the control of Electrolux machines is very clear, the control panel in Russian is equipped with a display.
  • Time Manager function, which allows you to set the washing time manually. The shortest program is 14 minutes., during this time it is quite possible to refresh your socks and not twist them for 1.5 hours each time.
  • Direct Spray technology assumes the consumption of water and electricity depending on the amount of linen loaded, which reduces costs, making washing more economical.
  • The auto parking function in vertical loading machines allows the drum to rotate up to load things.

In addition to advanced technologies, it is worth noting a large number of programs in the machines of this brand. Among them are not only washing cotton or delicate fabrics, but also washing pillows, lingerie, sports clothes. The spin speed in different models can vary from 400 to 1600 revolutions. At the same time, spinning at maximum does not spoil the fabric and helps to accelerate drying by 25 minutes. The dimensions and dimensions of the washing machine allow you to wash from 3 to 10 kg of laundry.

Weaknesses of cars of this brand

The washing machines are really reliable, we can judge by reviews of consumers of cars Electroluxbut unfortunately they are not eternal and also break. What are their weaknesses, how much can the repair of this equipment cost? As in most washing machines, in the Electrolux pump, the heater, bearings, and the control board may burn out due to power surges. For prolonged use, replacement requires a drain hose. Although not often, this happens.washing machine Electrolux

In most cases, it is better to contact a professional craftsman with a problem in the typewriter. Just imagine how you need to disassemble the car to get to the tank, in the center of which are the bearings and seals. And to get them out of there, you still have to make a lot of effort. Therefore, in some cases it is easier to use the services of specialists.

As for the cost of repair, it will depend on what is broken and in what country the machine was going to. Spare parts for European vertical models will naturally be more expensive, and they will have to be bought for euros. Parts for cars of Ukrainian or Russian assembly will cost less. If the inlet hose is torn, then it can be replaced on its own and for several hundred rubles.

The most expensive is the repair of the control board, it amounts to 40% of the cost of the machine itself.

With proper operation and protection from power surges, board breakdown is extremely rare, so do not think that buying a cheaper competitor in repair will be easier and cheaper than Electrolux. Not an unimportant moment in repair, how to determine what is broken? Simple enough - look at the display where the error is displayed, and the interpretation of such errors is presented in the article Error codes for washing machines Electrolux.
