Candy cs2 104r DIY repair

Details: candy cs2 104r do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Washing machines from the Italian manufacturer Kandy have found their niche in the Russian market. These machines are distinguished by their small size and reasonable price. However, their quality is such that the repair of Candy washing machines is carried out by craftsmen much more often than Bosch or LG. What are the typical malfunctions, and whether it is possible to fix them with your own hands - this will be discussed further.

Any washing machine can break down. The reasons can be different, banal or, on the contrary, too serious, which will lead to expensive repairs of equipment. Professional diagnostics will help to determine exactly what is broken. But in most cases, such diagnostics can be carried out independently, the main thing is to listen well, take a closer look, and have tools at hand.

What fails in Kandy typewriters most often? Masters note the following faults:

blockage of the drain system or its malfunction. When clogged, the machine does not drain the water and stops after the wash cycle, the laundry is not wrung out. If the tightness of the connection of the pipes, hose or drain pump is broken, then water may leak during the spin cycle. In addition, a characteristic hum during the draining of water indicates a malfunction of the drain system, most often this is due to a clogged pump.
wear of moving parts of the washing machine. Parts that are heavily stressed during washing are subject to faster wear than those that are not stressed. These elements include oil seals, bearings, shock absorbers, engine.

The average service life of bearings is about 7 years, their replacement takes place along with the replacement of oil seals.

The malfunction of these parts manifests itself as follows: strong vibration of the machine during the spin cycle, knocking or grinding of the drum even when the machine is not working, the drum stops, the machine does not start for washing after water has been filled.

heating element malfunction. This breakdown often happens with some models of Kandy washing machines. It manifests itself in the fact that the machine either carries out the washing process in cold water, or does not start washing at all.

electronic and electrical failure. Electrical wires and their connection to sensors can cause the machine to stop washing at some point. Most often, the terminals oxidize due to high humidity. But there are also burnouts of wires due to high load. During power surges, sensors and the machine control module may fail. This affects her work in different ways.Problems in draining and collecting water indicate a breakdown of the pressure switch, problems with spinning may indicate a tacho sensor.

A clogged drain system is a malfunction that can be easily fixed with your own hands. In service centers, it is classified as the first category of complexity. A similar problem usually occurs when the rules for the operation and care of the washing machine are not followed. Cleaning the drain system begins with cleaning the drain filter.

Video (click to play).

In Kandy typewriters, the drain filter is located at the bottom, on the left behind a small door or behind the bottom panel. To clean it, you need to carefully unscrew it counterclockwise and pull it towards you. Don't forget to put a large rag on the floor so that the remaining water in the tank does not leak onto the floor. After removing the filter, rinse it in water to remove lint and other dirt, then reinsert it.

To clean the hose, drain pipe and pump, you need to lift the machine or lay it on its side. Before doing this, be sure to turn off the power supply, as well as the drain hose from the sewer. You can get to the pump in the Kandy machine through the bottom, which is either missing or there is a pallet. It unscrews easily.

So, loosen the clamps and disconnect the pipe and hose. We wash the pipe in water and wipe it with a dry cloth. We clean the hose with a cable with a brush and inspect for damage. Next, disconnect the sensors from the drain pump, unscrew the screws holding the pump, and take it out. In the pump, you need to inspect the impeller, which is located under the cover.

Pile, hair, wool can be wound on it, so we carefully clean everything. Using a multimeter, we check its performance. If the pump burned out, then in this case it is better to replace it with a new one, repair in this case is not advisable.

After cleaning, we assemble the machine and run the wash in idle mode.

The failure of the moving parts of the washing machine is a serious repair. Replacement of motor brushes, bearings, shock absorbers is classified as the third category of complexity. The difficulty in working with bearings lies in the fact that the sleeve on which they are mounted is thermally pressed, in addition, the bearings themselves are not easy to get. But in general, the whole algorithm for replacing bearings in all machines is similar.

Silent operation of the washing machine is provided by shock absorbers. And if one day you hear a roar, then, most likely, the problem is in the shock absorbers, in rare cases, in loose counterweights. It is not worth operating the machine with faulty shock absorbers, because this can lead to even more complex breakdowns. It is best to delegate their replacement to the master, but if you wish, if you have time and space to disassemble the machine, you can do this work yourself, step-by-step instructions that will allow you to do the work are in the article on replacing shock absorbers and dampers.

When the washing machine is used for a long time, the heating element fails. The reason may be hard water, which is deposited on the surface of the heating element in the form of plaque.. In the event of a malfunction, an error code will appear on the display. The heating element is located behind the rear wall of the machine under the tank. The algorithm for replacing the heater is simple:

unscrew the back wall;
unscrew the bolt holding the heating element;
disconnect the sensors from the heater, after taking a photo of their correct connection;
using a flat screwdriver, carefully pull out the heating element towards ourselves;
we examine it, if it is not possible to externally determine the serviceability, we take a multimeter and check its performance;
if the heating element is serviceable, then we clean it from scale, if not, we buy a new one;
insert the heating element into place;
connect wires and sensors;
we fix the heating element with a bolt;
put the back cover of the machine body.

Another of the characteristic breakdowns of a washing machine is an electrician, by which in this case we mean not only electrical wiring, but also sensors. The tachometer and pressure switch (water level sensor) often fail. Checking the functionality of the wiring is a process that requires patience and skill with a multimeter. In some cases, a visual inspection of the wires and terminals is enough to understand that they need to be stripped or replaced.

You can easily replace the water level sensor with your own hands. It is located under the top cover in the corner. It is necessary to disconnect the chips with wires coming from the electronic board and the pump, and also disconnect the pipe coming from the tank. And a new pressure switch is connected to the place of the faulty one. It is better to entrust the replacement of the tacho sensor to a specialist, because you will have to disassemble the washing machine and get to the electric motor.

With poor protection against power surges and lack of grounding in the electrical network, the control module of the washing machine may fail. This can lead to the fact that the machine does not turn on, the washing programs go astray, the machine freezes. The control board is quite expensive, so it is best to entrust diagnostics and repairs to the master. In some cases, it is possible to actually repair, rather than replace.

There are amateurs who are easily versed in electronics, if you consider yourself one of those, then go for it. But remember that a mistake can be costly.

So, the repair of Candy washing machines should begin with high-quality diagnostics, troubleshooting. Only after assessing the complexity of the work ahead and your capabilities, make a decision whether to do the repair yourself or it is better to entrust everything to the master. And there is nothing wrong with everyone doing their own thing.

Greetings.
I checked it. The heating element is the norm, the pump is the norm, but the blocking of the hatch (probably) is the cause of the breakdown. It is not very convenient, the hand barely crawls through. white and one (thinner) green. Two whites, as I understand it, go to the solenoid and it rings. But green is not. I want to close the wires so that the door always shows closed, and cut one wire to the solenoid. door while the machine is running. This is a temporary solution. We need a diagram. How to get it?

Three wires are suitable for UBL, two white and green (thinner). I connected two white ones. Before checking the voltage when turned on. 220 appears on pin 3 (white) and 1 (green). There is no voltage on pin 2. That is. does not close. No result.

I rang all the periphery. Everything seems to be fine.

- pressure switch (rings, clicks, closes contacts - when you blow)
- engine (tachometer, stator-ringing)
– the pump is ringing
- buttons are ringing
Suspicion of the main board and there may be a program selection knob (it did not ring)
Yes, all the triacs rang on the board - everything seems to be fine (nothing burned out).

I continue to repair. I got to the blocking. the brains (microcircuits) are working. I changed the large triacs on the BTB-12 radiator (I don’t remember the number on the board) and the smaller T405 600. No result. There are even fewer Z0607 triacs, but they all ring normally. Dead end. Where to dig further?

Kandy automatic washing machines are affordable and compact. A convenient control system and a wide selection of programs have made the technique popular among users.

However, over time, even reliable equipment can fail. Is it possible to repair the Kandy washing machine with my own hands? Quite!

You just need to find out what the error codes on the control panel mean, and then find and fix the problem.

Let's analyze the main problems that are typical for cars of this brand. We will also find out how you can repair Candy washing machines with your own hands.

You have noticed that the Kandy washing machine does not drain the water. The program may stop right in the middle of washing. Due to the fact that the water does not go away completely, you take out wet things after spinning.

What are the reasons for such a breakdown:

The drain system is clogged. If debris gets into the drain filter or hose, a blockage will occur. It is necessary to check the pump and the pipe from the tank to the pump.
Damage to the drain pump (pump). Often, small objects entering the pump cause it to break.

Why is the Candy washing machine not working? You habitually start the washer, but it does not respond to your actions. Let's look at the causes of this problem:

Faulty network cable or extension cord. He could burn out, twist.
Lack of voltage in the network, or it is not enough to start SM Kandy. This can happen if repairs are being carried out on your site, a powerful tool is involved, and so on.
The contacts on the start button are oxidized, so the machine does not respond to turning on.
Malfunction of the Kandy washing machine control module. The module is responsible for all programs in the CMA, therefore, if it breaks down, the equipment fails to work.

If you notice a puddle of water under the washing machine, you need to urgently look for a leak.

Attention! Do not step into the water, you may be electrocuted. If possible, disconnect the CM from the mains or turn off the electricity supply at the switchboard.

Tray dispenser. If you do not periodically clean the tray, powder accumulates in it, which clogs the nozzle. As a result, leakage comes from the tray.
Drain pipe of the Candy washing machine. If it is damaged, water flows out through the bottom of the CM.
Rubber cuff of the hatch. With prolonged use, the cuff could leak and lose tightness. Or it is damaged by small objects during washing.

The washing machine does not start the washing process or washes things in cold water. The reason for this is a malfunction of the heating element (heater). Basically, the element fails due to scale or damaged contacts.

Wear of bearings, oil seals, motor brushes leads to various malfunctions in the Kandy washing machine. For example, you may notice a knock and rumble when the washing machine is running, the drum stops rotating.

These include problems with closing the hatch door, a broken wiring between the parts and the control module, a malfunction of the control board of the Candy washing machine.

How to figure out what kind of breakdown happened to your car? Error codes will help you.

Thanks to the self-diagnosis system, a malfunction code is displayed on the Kandy washing machine display. After decrypting it, the user understands which part needs to be checked. So it becomes possible to independently repair Candy washing machines.

Depending on the type of model, the SM can manifest the error in different ways:

Models like Activa with electronic controls show an error on the display.
Models Candy Aquamatic (Kandy Aquamatic), signal a problem by blinking the lower light on the left. The number of flashes after a pause means the error code.

For washing machines Candy Holiday, Aquamatic, Activa and other models, the following error codes are typical: E01, E02, E03, E04, E05, E09.

Italian Candy washing machines are popular among consumers due to their good quality-price ratio. Despite excellent performance and reliability, cars sometimes break down. It always happens suddenly.

But do not worry too much, most of the breakdowns can be solved independently. Specialists from the Kandy service center are sure that many errors occur due to incorrect handling.

Specialists from the Kandy service center are sure that many errors occur due to incorrect handling. By the way, I recommend contacting EuroBytService if you need a really high-quality and fast repair of a washing machine of this brand.

It is good if the machine is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. Then the built-in controller itself will determine what the malfunction is and report this with an alphanumeric code on the display.

Frequent malfunctions include:

The machine does not turn on.
There is water in the drum.
The water does not heat up.
There is no water drain or it is not collected at all.
During operation, an incomprehensible noise or strong vibration is heard.
Failure of the electronic module.With this problem, the machine will not work, even if it is plugged in, the programs are not configured, the indicators flash randomly.

candy machine won't turn on

What should be done in this case?

Try pulling the plug out of the outlet and plugging it back in. Now you can try turning on the power button.
Point 1 did not help? Maybe the socket is not working? Try plugging another electrical appliance into it.
The cause of the breakdown may be the oxidation of contacts or burnout in the power button. You can check this with a tester. If a problem is found, the part is replaced with a new one.

The reason for the lack of warm or hot water during the washing process lies in the malfunction of the heating element. In this case, the self-diagnosis function will inform the user about the E05 error or blink the indicator 16 times after 5 seconds.

There are many reasons why a heating element fails. The most common are wear or a thick layer of scale on the heating element due to hard water.

How to check its performance and, if necessary, repair the candy washing machine with your own hands?

The back wall of the washing machine is removed.
Below you will see the shank of the heater with two wires.
Using a multimeter, you need to determine the resistance of the device. If it is 20-30 ohms, then it is in working order.
If the heating element is faulty, you need to get it. To do this, the bolt between the wires is unscrewed, and the part is pulled out of the machine. The heating element can stick, then it is difficult to get it without the help of a rubber mallet.
When installing a new heating element, the hole must first be cleaned of scale.
The performance of the heating element is checked by turning on the machine in heating mode.

Another reason why water may not be heated is a breakdown of the temperature sensor. In this case, the machine gives an error of 05 or 5 blinks.

electronics, then it is advisable to use qualified help, or try to repair the candy washing machine door yourself.

To dismantle the lock, you will need to remove the hatch seal. To do this, the clamp holding it is hooked with a screwdriver. After removing the gum, unscrew the two screws that secure the lock. The part changes, and the machine is assembled in reverse order.

Drain system problem

At the same time, the machine cannot drain the used water and displays the message E03 on the display or flashes the indicators three times. What can be done?

Remove the bottom front panel.
Find the filter and substituting a low capacitance, unscrew it counterclockwise.
Clean and rinse under water pressure.
The filter is attached to the tank with a pipe. It also needs to be checked, as it is often clogged with various deposits. You can do this with a screwdriver. But, carefully without damaging the pipe.
Now turn on the machine to drain mode and see if the pump impeller is spinning. You will see it through the filter hole - this is a part with blades. Often hair, threads, wool are wound on the impeller. If it spins, the pump is working. If it rotates, but at the same time the pump hums strongly and the impeller itself shakes, then the problem is in it and jamming occurs due to its looseness. This is where the pump needs to be replaced. Access to the pump of the Kandy washing machine is open through the bottom or tray, which is easily removed.

The inlet hose also needs to be cleaned. To do this, it is disconnected and cleaned with a cable with a brush.

An inlet filter is installed on it, in which sand and rust are often found. The problem in this part is accompanied by the display of error E02 on the display or two blinking indicators.

The pressure switch located under the top cover may fail.

This sensor ceases to function if the tube attached to it becomes clogged.

After cleaning it from dirt, blow it. If you hear a click, then the device is in working order.

Bearing failure

If the bearings break or wear out, the machine makes a loud hum during operation. To get to them in the candy washing machine, you will need to remove the top cover and pull out the tank. Kandy cars are compact, so the elements inside the equipment are located tightly to each other.

The algorithm of actions is as follows:

Hoses are connected to the tank, which must all be disconnected.
The powder container is pulled out.
The counterweight is unscrewed.
The belt is removed from the drum pulley.
Wires are unhooked from the heating element.
The engine is taken out along the guides. All wires coming from it are preliminarily disconnected.
The sunroof is removed. To do this, screws are unscrewed under the cuff, and the fixing collar is pry off with a screwdriver.
The tank is disassembled into 2 parts.
The pulley is removed from the drum shaft.
With light tapping, the bearing is knocked out. You can not hit the shaft! For these purposes, a wooden block is used.

11. The drum bearing is also knocked out.

New bearings are installed in place of the old ones using a pressure washer, nuts and a rod.

This instruction applies to machines with a split tank. Some models have one-piece tanks, then the process becomes much more complicated and it becomes problematic to replace bearings at home.

Repairing the candy aquamatic washing machine is easier, as it is equipped with a self-diagnostic system. To decipher the error code, you need to pay attention to the left indicator. After reading the instructions and finding out how many flashes are typical for a certain error code, you can repair the machine with your own hands.

– Code 1 means the sunroof is blocked. In this case, you need to check whether the hatch is tightly closed. This code also indicates a problem with the controller.

– Code 2 gives an error of water entering the tank - either it is not enough, or not at all. The reasons may be in the valve, controller, water tap, blockage.

– Code 3 characterizes drain problems. The pump, drain hose, or filter and siphon may have broken.

If there is water in the drum after the washing program is completed, it first shuts off the water supply, removes the panel in the lower part of the housing and drains the water using the drain pump filter. After that, you can sort out the problem. The pump is being checked.

After unscrewing the appropriate screws, remove the rear wall.
Locate the heater shank sticking out of the bottom of the tank (two wires are connected to it).
Determine the resistance of the heating element using a multimeter. If it is suitable, the device will show 20 - 30 ohms, if it is burned out - "infinity".
If the heating element is faulty, unscrew the nut holding it (between the contacts) and carefully remove it from the tank. If it’s stuck, gently hit a couple of times with a rubber mallet (or a regular one on the attached wooden block).
Before installing a new heating element, the inner surface of the tank around the hole must be descaled.

To make sure that the heating element is working, it is enough to turn on the machine for heating and look at the electric meter - the disk rotation speed or the indicator flashing frequency should increase sharply.

A less common cause is the failure of the temperature sensor (E05 or 5 flashes). To check, first measure its resistance at room temperature, then - after heating with hot water. For a non-working element, the resistance will remain constant.

Indesit washing machines have gained popularity due to their affordable cost. The unit is of high quality, but any technique is not immune from breakdowns.Washing machine Indesit - malfunctions and do-it-yourself repairs.

The main problems associated with connecting the washing machine, consider here.

If there is not enough space in the bathroom, then the washing machine has to be installed in the kitchen. In this topic https://my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/740/cancliz/mnogokvartirnyie-doma/santehnika/kak-podklyuchit-stiralnuyu-mashinku-na-kuhne.html you will find tips for connecting the appliance for beginners and experienced.

If the sunroof lock device breaks down, error code E01 is displayed or the indicator flashes 1 time. The cause of the failure lies in the electronics, so it is better to invite a specialist.

If in the near future its appearance is not expected, the lock can be opened independently. This will be possible if the front cover is removed from the de-energized machine and slightly tilted back.

It happens that the lock itself requires replacement. To dismantle it, you first need to carefully remove the hatch seal by prying the clamp holding it with a screwdriver. After that, two screws fixing the lock will become available.

If the machine cannot get rid of the waste water (error "E03" or 3 blinks), it is most likely a clogged filter. It could also be a pump failure. Do the following:

After removing the front bottom panel, locate the drain filter on the left side of the machine.
Place a container under the machine, unscrew the filter and free it from accumulated dirt.
Also inspect the tank pipe to which the filter is attached. It is often clogged with silty deposits, which must be carefully removed with a screwdriver.
After turning on the machine in the network, start it in drain mode and look at the pump impeller (it can be seen through the hole in the filter plug). If the pump is good, it will rotate. It happens that the impeller rotates, but the operation of the pump is accompanied by a strong hum, and when the impeller sways from side to side in a direction perpendicular to the axis (the machine, of course, must be turned off), you can feel that it is very loose. In this case, the impeller may jam from time to time, which is the cause of problems with draining. Such a pump needs to be replaced, for which you will have to remove the back wall.

It will also be useful to clean the inlet filter, for which you need to disconnect the inlet hose. It is also often clogged with sand and rust, as a result of which water enters the machine very slowly (error "E02" or 2 flashes).

The reason for the lack of a normal drain can also be a malfunction in the level sensor, also called a pressure switch (located under the top cover). If the tube attached to it becomes clogged with dirt, the sensor will not function. After removing the dirt, you can check the operation of the pressure switch by blowing into the tube. A working device should respond with a click.

If the machine began to work with a loud hum, most likely one of the bearings needs to be replaced. To do this, you need to remove the tank, which in Candy machines is done through the top. In some models, the tank is one-piece and to replace the bearings it must be sawn and then welded. Only the workshop can do it right. At home, bearing replacement is only possible for machines with a collection tank. To get to it, you need to remove the panels - top and back.

It is also better to dismantle the front panel so as not to accidentally scratch it when removing the tank.

Before you get the tank, you need to do the following:

disconnect all the hoses connected to it (the clamps are unclenched with pliers);
remove the powder distribution hopper;
unscrew the counterweight;
remove the belt from the drum pulley;
disconnect the wires from the heating element;
after unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the wires, remove the engine (pulls out along the guides);
remove the hatch by unscrewing the screws under the sealing cuff (the clamp fixing the cuff is pryed off with a screwdriver).

Having disassembled the tank into two parts, the pulley is removed from the drum shaft, and then the shaft is knocked out of the bearing with careful tapping. You can’t hit the shaft directly - you need to put a wooden block. Next, you need to carefully knock out the bearing from the tank with uniform blows around the perimeter.

The new bearing is installed in place using a simple device consisting of a pressure washer, a threaded rod and a pair of nuts.One nut is screwed onto the rod on one side - it will put pressure on the pressure washer that presses the bearing. The second nut is screwed onto the rod from the other side (rests against the tank) - it must be slowly rotated.

In small apartments, residents prefer to save time on everything as much as possible. Consider how to choose a compact washing machine under the bathroom sink and how to install it.
