We look at the power source and the level of constant voltages (5 and 12 V) at its outputs. If there is no voltage at the output of the power supply, check the corresponding elements - a mains switch, a mains filter, a power transformer T1, a rectifier (D11-D14), a U1 microcircuit.
They are used in machines that incorporate an asynchronous drive motor and a mechanical command device.
Models A1000PL, A1000XCZ, A1000XPL, WD1000PL, TL1000X, etc.
The wear of the heating element increases with “hard” water.
Video (click to play).
Overgrown with scale (scab), it gives off heat poorly and burns out.
It is necessary to pull out the gum and not the heating element. Since pulling out the heating element, you can wedge the rubber band.?
This is important to avoid further leakage under the seal.
10% wear of the brushes of the commutator motor, loosening of contacts, breakage of the drive belt
Remove the belt, unscrew the screws and remove the engine. There are two brushes on the motor, each fastened with two screws. We unscrew the screws and remove the brushes.
Inspect the motor power supply terminal from the board and the ground wire.
Very often, contacts oxidize from moisture and the machine gives an error because of this.
Each brush is installed in a brush holder. It can be disassembled into two halves. Pay attention to how much the brush protrudes.
This size should be at least 1 cm. The best option is 1.5 cm. After that, we assemble everything and install it in place.
Having jammed the pulley, unscrew the upper clamping nut of the shaft counterclockwise.
If the stuffing box is not filled with a specialized grease and is not lubricated with it during assembly, the stuffing box will wear out very quickly, no matter what quality it is, this has been proven in practice.
It’s not worth saving and improvising with lithol, grease and other lubricants; get better specialized lubricants that are used to lubricate oil seals.
Dimensions of Ardo bearings and seals:
This applies to modern technology - since 2000 (models AE800X, AED1000X, TL1OOOEX).
Thanks to it, you can make diagnostics (DMPU control module):
We close the hatch (without linen). We set the choice of programs to 30 ° C until it clicks. The temperature regulator is in the 0 ° C position. Turn on. The drum rotates at 250 rpm. To check the buttons half load, extra rinse and others, press them. There is an increase in the spin speed from 250 to the maximum provided in this model. In the absence of additional functions, press the spin button.
When failures are detected, the indicators will flash.
E00 | E01 - Drain. Clean the drain filter and drain pipes. E02 – Water does not flow or drain correctly. The drain hose may not be positioned correctly. E03 – The water does not drain from the tank, and the drain time has exceeded 3 minutes. F2 - Temperature sensor. F4 – Appears on the display if there is no water drain. Possible cause is the drain pump. F5 - The water drains and immediately fills up. The problem is usually the water filter. F6 | F9 | F12 – Electronic module. F8 – The water in the tank has exceeded the available level. Aquastop valve suspect. F13 | F14 – Critical.
Breakdowns are a fairly rare phenomenon, usually associated with improper operation. Italian technology is characterized by high manufacturability and versatility.
How to carry out a service test equipped with a MINI-SEL board:
Control panels are different
The steps for switching to the verification mode are shown in the figures. – move the program selector knob to the “6 o’clock” position - press the button 4 - POWERFUL WASH and, while holding it, press the NETWORK button. After that, the SM should go into test mode.
With temperature control knob:
- turn the program selector knob to the "6 o'clock" position – move the temperature selection knob to the “9 o’clock” position - press and hold the ENERGY button (for a period of at least 6 s), at the same time turn on the power supply of the SM with the POWER button.
After that, the SM should go into test mode.
By turning the selection knob, we check the devices:
Knob in position 1 (autotest) - NTC temperature sensor (sensor circuit - for open or short circuit), pressure switch, display (if any), door lock and main functional buttons on the remote control
2. First, the cold water inlet valve opens until a signal is issued from the water pressure sensor. The filling of water takes place through the compartment of the dispenser for PRELIMINARY.
3. First, the heating element is turned on and the water in the tank is heated up to 60°C. Then the CM drum begins to rotate in a cyclic mode at a speed of 45 rpm (as in the washing mode).
4. The drain pump (pump) is turned on. At the same time, the drum begins to rotate as if spinning.
5. Within 10 s, the hot water inlet valve is turned on (if this SM model has it). At the same time, the CM drum starts to rotate.
6.The fan and drying heater turn on (for models with drying)
The test mode is exited by turning off the power with the POWER button.
Do you need an Ardo washing machine repair? You have a choice: repair the equipment yourself or contact a service center. In the latter case, additional costs for the work of the master are expected. Therefore, we will tell you how to find and fix the breakdown with your own hands.
Error codes will help determine the location of the problem: E00 / E01, E02, E03, F2, F4, F5, F6 / F9 / F12, F8, F13 / F14. The control board diagnoses the system in the event of a breakdown and displays a set of characters on the display. Each one points to a different problem. Decryption of errors can be found in the instruction manual and our article.

Installing a new module
Ardo washing machines are divided into two main categories according to the type of loading:
Vertical (Ardo TLN 85 SW, T80X, TLN 106 SA).
Front (Ardo SE 810, FLN 126 LW, A 1033, WDO 1485 L).
The Ardo top-loading washing machine features a compact body that easily occupies the space between the tub and sink. But it is not without drawbacks.
Here's what users are complaining about:
Machines with a long service life (more than 5 years) spontaneously open the drum flaps. This leads to jamming and tearing of the valves.
The top cover of the drum is often corroded because the water supply is drawn through the top.
Close doors tighter. Clean the latch from debris, adhering powder.
Do not overload the tank with laundry.
Observe the dosage of detergent to prevent foaming.
Wipe the drum with a dry cloth after washing to avoid corrosion.
The rest of the problems are similar to the frontal models. Here are the most common ones:
The Ardo washing machine is noisy, makes extraneous sounds.
Appliance does not drain water.
No water heating.
The drum does not rotate.
After switching on, there is no water intake or it comes in excess of the norm.
Let's figure out how to make an independent repair.
Some breakdowns can be fixed without the help of a master if you follow our recommendations.
SMA buzzes, makes noise, vibrates
Has your car been recently purchased? At the first start, the unit began to jump and rattle? Check if the shipping bolts have been removed. They lock the tank in place so it doesn't get damaged during transit.
Turn the case back.
Loosen the screws around the perimeter.
Also make sure the equipment is level and stable on the surface. The floor must be level and firm. Tighten the legs of the machine if necessary.
The most serious failure is bearing wear. At the same time, not only a rumble is heard, but also a rattle (with heavy wear). Replacing a bearing is considered a difficult repair. How to disassemble the Ardo SM and install a new bearing, see the video:
The drum is not spinning
Ardo uses direct drive motors. The engine is equipped with a small pulley, and the tank is equipped with a large pulley. Together they are connected by a drive belt. When the motor starts, the small pulley rotates and transmits torque through the belt to the tank. Therefore, with a similar problem, inspect the belt:
Observe safety precautions: unplug the machine before starting work.
Turn off communications.
Remove the two top cover screws. They are located at the back.
Unscrew the screws around the perimeter of the rear wall.
Behind it you will see a belt. If he flew off the spot, restore his location. Put the part on the small pulley first, then, scrolling, on the large one. If worn, broken, stretched, replace the belt.
There is no water intake. Overflow in the tank
You started the program, but the water inlet did not start. Clear debris:
Inlet filter and hose. Substitute the container and disconnect the hose from the body. Rinse it under pressure from a faucet. Behind him is a filter mesh. Take it out with pliers, rinse with water. If heavily soiled, you can brush with citric acid.
Inlet valve. To inspect the part, remove the top panel. Loosen valve hose clamps, remove debris from them. For accurate diagnosis, you need a multimeter. When measuring the resistance on the coils, there should be an indicator of 2-4 kOhm. If the indicators are different, then a new valve is being installed. To do this, its contacts are disconnected, the mounting bolt is unscrewed.
The cause of a shortage or overflow of water can be a pressure switch. It is called a level (pressure) sensor. Its tube reacts to an increase in pressure in the tank when fluid is taken. Then the sensor sends a signal to the module that enough has been collected, and the bay stops.
Incorrect operation of the pressure switch, its breakdown leads to malfunctions in the intake system.
The part is located under the top cover near the side wall. Clean the sensor hose, connect a short tube in its place. Blow into it. If clicks are heard, the part is working.
The SM device provides for a drain system. At the end of the cycle, the board gives a signal to the pump to start water extraction. The liquid is drained through the pipe and goes into the sewer through the drain hose. For diagnostics:
Drain the water from the filter. Open the door under the loading hatch. Unscrew the filter counterclockwise, substitute the container.
Remove the back wall.
Tilt the body back, opening access to the bottom.
Disconnect pump wiring.
With a 10 head, unscrew the pump screws.
Loosen the hose and pipe clamps, remove them from their place.
Clean all components.
A common cause of popma failure is mechanical wear. Then the impeller clings to the housing and the element needs to be replaced.
Buy a similar pump, mount in reverse order. More on video:
