Units for washing linen differ in quality, manufacturability and functionality. But even such a machine has weak points, manifested by certain malfunctions caused by violations of operation, factory defects and other reasons.

The existing ability to automatically check for failures that occur during the operation of the machine displays problems in the form of an error code. He will tell you where to look for the problem and what to do in a similar situation.

Consumers hardly ever complain about the brand's washing machines, and for good reason. The models are not very common when compared with Indesit, Ariston, Samsung, they appeared on the Russian markets not so long ago, they have good quality. Even a pattern appears - if everyone has such models, then the repair of Hansa washing machines will become more frequent.

Today it is possible to talk about the most frequent failures of Hans washing machines, using rather scanty statistics provided by large repair service centers. After analyzing this information, we identified the vulnerabilities of machines from this manufacturer:

  • quite often the pump that is responsible for draining the water fails;
  • the filter and drain pipes are clogged;
  • the AQUA-Spray system breaks down;
  • short circuits occur in the temperature sensor;
  • the machine often "freezes" due to a voltage drop in the electrical network.

Very rarely, but there are problems with the electronic control and the system that protects against water leaks.

In certain situations, it is quite possible to eliminate the failure of the machine with your own hands.

  1. Clogged filter, pump failure.

The first place in the rating of malfunctions of these machines belongs to the filter and hose clogged with debris. There is nothing strange in this, since such a reason really most often arises in automatic and semi-automatic washing machines. In such a situation, there is no need to call the wizard - you can fix everything yourself.

Cleaning the filter is an easy process that is detailed in the instruction manual. Removing the blockage in the hose will not cause difficulties, but you will have to tinker with its installation / dismantling. In order to unscrew the drain hose, you will have to climb into the unit body:

  • you need to unscrew the back panel;
  • find the connecting clamps for the hose and pump, release them;
  • disconnect the drain hose, rinse it, clean it with a cable;
  • connect and assemble in reverse order.

Remember that the hose should be cleaned, even for preventive purposes, once a year.

But the pump in a typewriter of this brand breaks down quite unusually:

  • the machine starts to hang from time to time, the water does not drain, but when a reboot is performed, then everything starts to work normally;
  • after a certain time freezes become more frequent, especially after washing with hot water. Restarting the program does not fix the problem, but when the water cools down, the machine continues to work normally;
  • such problems arise for a long time, then the washing machine completely stops draining the water.

What conclusions can be drawn from such symptoms? Most likely, the impeller on the pump has failed, it is necessary to carry out repairs. Such work is quite within the power of every consumer, if all the recommendations of professional specialists are followed exactly. The list of works is as follows:

  • first, the water is drained, for which it is necessary to unscrew the drain plug by placing a container under the machine;
  • the detergent tray is removed;
  • the washing machine turns over on its side;
  • the bottom is unscrewed, if any;
  • all wiring is disconnected from the pump;
  • the impeller is removed, the pump is checked for clogging;
  • a new impeller is being installed;
  • the wiring is connected, the fasteners are tightened, the machine is installed on the legs, connected to the communications and checked for serviceability.
  1. Heating element failure.

Heating elements fail quite often. This can be caused by power surges. The element is damaged from a short circuit. In addition, due to the hardness of the water, scale forms on the heating element, it overheats and burns out.

It is possible to determine the breakdown of the heater by its external signs. If, after turning on the machine, the machine in the panel is de-energized, the fuse blows out - look for the problem in the heating element. The second sign is that things are poorly washed, there is a musty smell, since the water does not heat up.

To replace the heating element, you will have to remove the front wall and follow these steps:

  • at the base of the drum we find the heating element;
  • disconnect all wires;
  • we loosen the nut located in the center, push it inward, while squeezing the gasket;
  • we remove the heating element, install a new analogue in its place.
  1. Failure of the Aqua-Spray system.

Often in such a machine there are problems in which they do not pump water into the tank, from which the washing process does not start, and the error code E 05 lights up on the screen.In this case, it is necessary to start the check from the inlet valve, since it is he who is responsible for pumping water ... Having removed the top panel, we check the valve, use a multimeter to measure the resistance values. If everything is in order, go to the AQUA-SPRAY system, which runs from the inlet valve to the tank. With its help, the water flows over the laundry with strong jets, from which stains are removed more efficiently. The disadvantage of the system is a complex and sometimes thin path for fluid supply, which can quickly become clogged with salts and metals in the water. What to do in such a situation?

  • find the path of this system near the inlet valve;
  • remove the plugs;
  • take a bottle of water, pour it into the tract, check how well it goes into the tank;
  • if a blockage is found, we clean the tract with a thin wire, pouring warm water into it from time to time. It will be nice if you first dissolve citric acid in it;
  • when the water begins to pass without interference, the machine can be assembled and a test run can be carried out.
  1. Problems with the electrical network.

Most models of washing machines have a surge protection system. The protection is intended for the safety of the unit responsible for the control if a short circuit or other problems with the electrical occurs. Initially conceived well, but the quality of the work was not up to par.

The machine still retained its sensitivity to voltage surges in the Russian power grid. At its best, it stops the program of work or simply turns off. But only a specialist can restore her working capacity. In such situations, performing repair work on your own is strictly contraindicated. But you can avoid such troubles in the future by connecting the washing machine through a stabilizing device.

Such a problem can be recognized by the characteristic grinding sound that occurs during washing. It is difficult to replace bearings in a typewriter, but it is possible to do such work with your own hands:

  • unscrew the fasteners, remove the counterweights in front and on the sides;

  • disconnect the clamps holding the AQUA-SPRAY system path, move it away from the cuff;
  • unclench the harnesses, unscrew the mounting bolts, remove the electric motor;
  • loosening the clamps, remove the drain pipe;
  • dismantle the tank from the shock absorber elements, lay it on a flat surface.

Now you have to disassemble the tank itself:

  • unscrew the nuts, remove the pulley;

  • remove the cover, push the bolt inward, take out the drum.

It remains to get the bearing and replace it. Now we assemble the unit in reverse order and check it in operation.
