Do-it-yourself repair of the electrolux ews 1046 washing machine

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of the ews 1046 electrolux washing machine from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Hello! The problem is this: this washing machine, after plugging in and selecting any program, blocks the hatch and that's it. The washing time is displayed on the display, the corresponding mode indicators are on and nothing happens, water is not drawn. I read on this forum that perhaps this is due to the electric / magnetic valve at the water inlet ?! Or is the problem something else? Please help with advice, what to do in this situation? Thank you. Best regards, Dmitry

DAT24, and other modes like? Spin, there is a drain, the hatch is blocked (the click still does not say anything)?

SPOCHT, does not start when any program is selected. I pressed the "Network" button, selected any program with the switch, I press the start - the hatch lock lamp comes on and silence.

DAT24, in the test can you check the car and see the code of the last error? If not, contact a specialist.

I am just sitting and looking for information on the forum on how to enter this very mode and see the error code. In order not to ask right away, they will still be sent to the search. But if we are talking about it, SPOCHT, can you tell me how to do this?

SPOCHT, I answered you in a personal.

Good day! I have a problem with the EWS1046 washing machine similar to the author DAT24. Help enter the service menu and find out the error code.

CM launched! I cleaned the controller from the "charcoal deposits" around the tracks and elements and SEE LIFE!
Just in case, I covered the board with 3-M varnish on both sides.

Hello
Broken ews 1046
when you start any program, all indications go out except for the network and silence Image - Do-it-yourself repair of the electrolux ews 1046 washing machine


Please help to enter the service menu and find out the error code.

Such a gimmick happens due to a malfunction of the contacts of the door lock lock, the lock is triggered and the contact does not close, it is usually solved with a temporary jumper before buying a new one, so all problems with "not turning on" should be started with checking the operation of the lock.

Video (click to play).

where to put the jumper?
Thank you.

Alex73, Are you a master or a client? If the client is any problem with calling a specialist?

Hello. I have a problem with the EWS1046 washing machine similar to the author DAT24. Please help me enter the service menu and find out the error code.

Look at the forum. There is how to enter the test.

Does anyone have a diagram for this machine, boards and electricians? if not difficult to share.
Thank you.

Alex73, link is broken. Create your own theme if you have problems. Do not make a mess in someone else's topic.

Although the topic is old, I still haven't found a solution.
Yesterday the same unit stopped working. The sores are the same. I grabbed the screwdriver twice. Found the washing machine service menu. Error code E51. I remembered that about three years ago, my Electrolux EWS 1046, also kicked out, and I started it by simply turning the plug in the outlet. True, I let him stand without a net for ten minutes. He turned the fork over and this time, the car began to click with the relays, but did not start. I checked the error code again, knocked out E54. Then he squeezed the two extreme, right buttons turned on the “network” button. The washing machine was ON. The LEDs began to light up in turn, and on the indicator, in turn, the segments of two zeros lit up. The mode switch was on “rinsing”, the washing machine performed this function and stopped, flashing the LEDs. Since she no longer responded to the buttons, I turned off and on the "network" button. After that, my wife washed her clothes four times and I thought that the problem with the device was solved. This morning the washing machine did not start again, I had to perform the above manipulations. A logical question arises - "What to do?"
I look forward to your advice. Thank you.

The cause of the error must be eliminated, however.

[b] Borisoff [/ b although this is bad manners - to ask questions in someone else's topic, I will tell you. The 50th group of errors is a problem with the motor. with a tester for a short circuit to the case (the measurement limit of the tester for maximum resistance). Similar errors can occur from dampness on the connector. Try to thoroughly dry the motor block, and the motor itself will not interfere. Do everything that I wrote to you.

I went in with the same problem, the master called the master, he sat with the tester at the typewriter, did not enter the error menu, says the block flew, prepare UAH 1,500, 80 UAH for diagnostics, you read that you can enter the test mode yourself, tell me how, EWS1046 /

2k / victor
I specially described my actions with the apparatus. Then think for yourself, or delve into the problem or pay money. One of these days I'm going to follow the tips allfat... Unsubscribe.

k / victor, if the block flew, then you may not be able to enter the test mode. The master probably knows. Another thing is that the module does not always go for replacement, sometimes it can be restored, but again these are questions to the local master

I entered the diagnostic mode, all programs worked fine,
except for the heating and recirculation mode, there is no heating. So, after all, the unit is working properly, but what about the heating element? Issued an error E61. What's next, call the heating element? Image - Do-it-yourself repair of the electrolux ews 1046 washing machine

Entering the service: 1) the selector to the OFF position;
2) simultaneously press the two extreme right buttons;
3) while holding these buttons turn on the CM (power button);
4) keep holding until the LEDs start blinking.
Last error code: Rotate the selector knob two positions counterclockwise from the OFF position. The display will show an error code

P.S. (from 24.11.06) This is just for EWM 2000

Eb0 errors are power problems.
E60 Errors - Heating Problems.

Before you start repairing Electrolux washing machines, especially with your own hands, you need to study a lot of information that concerns the features of the device of a particular model of the machine. Then you need to correctly identify the cause of the malfunction, and then eliminate it so as not to aggravate the problem. Like any home appliances, Electrolux washers have a number of technical weaknesses, which ultimately result in typical breakdowns. In the process of research, we will study the symptoms of breakdowns, their causes, and also tell you how to eliminate these breakdowns.

By the symptoms of defects in Electrolux washing machines, we mean any external manifestation of a malfunction, for example, extraneous sounds during operation, too long work, inability to perform any stage of the washing program, and so on. It is the symptoms of breakdown that force the user to act (call the wizard or look for the cause on his own).

But the problem is that some malfunctions occur before symptoms appear and hardly manifest themselves. For example, wearing rubber pads will not show themselves in any way until a leak occurs. But let us return to the typical symptoms of malfunctions of Electrolux washing machines, to begin with, we will list them, but in the subsequent paragraphs we will deal with their detailed decoding.

  • The machine washes in cold water, does not heat it up, even if the program specifies otherwise.
  • The machine cannot fill up the water.
  • The washing machine cannot drain the waste water
  • The machine does not go to the rinse cycle or skips it without rinsing the laundry.
  • The washing machine does not spin.
  • The machine cannot pick up the powder from the cuvette and washes without it.
  • The washing machine does not turn on or turns on every other time.
  • The machine, when turned on, almost immediately knocks out the machine.

For your information! These symptoms are found on Electrolux washing machines more often than others, which is why we are considering them, but in fact there are much more such symptoms.

The washing cycle assumes that the Electrolux washing machine will fill and drain water for the entire duration of the program. One portion of water is required for washing, another for rinsing. She will also need to drain the water after spinning, and if there is a drying mode, then after it. But what happens if the machine cannot fill the tank with water, then the machine will not be able to execute the program and will freeze.

In a similar situation and in many others, the manufacturer insured himself by providing an error recognition system. In the event of a malfunction, the washing machine will display an error code on the display, which can be deciphered using the user's instructions and understand what exactly is broken. In particular if the machine does not fill in water, an error E11 should pop up on the screen.

Image - Do-it-yourself repair of the electrolux ews 1046 washing machine

So, if the Electrolux washer does not fill with water, then there can be at least three reasons:
  1. the filler valve does not work;
  2. no water supply;
  3. the water filter installed in front of or on the inlet hose is heavily clogged.

What can you do in such a case with your own hands? You need to start with the simplest thing, check if there is water in the tap, perhaps we are not talking about a malfunction at all. After that, you should check whether a filter for water purification is installed near the inlet hose (or on it). If it is there, it is necessary to shut off the water on the riser pipes, and then carefully unscrew this filter and clean it. Some manufacturers' water filters cannot be cleaned; in this case, you will need to buy a new filter and replace the old one..

Note! Flow filters are good because dirt will not pass through them into the machine and will not arrange a blockage inside, but there is a problem, they need to be changed in time. If you forget, the filter can become clogged with dirt, stopping the water supply to the machine.

If the problem is not in the water supply or in the filter, then you need to check the inlet valve. To carry out such a check, you will need to use a multimeter, some have problems using this device. But if you figure it out, the rest is simple.

It may turn out that the machine can fill in water, but not drain. In this case, the wash program is activated, the wash ends, but the rinse does not start, since the waste water will remain in the tub. In this case, the problem is either with the drain pump or with a blockage in the drain hose. It is not difficult to replace the drain pump with your own hands, it is important to follow the instructions offered by experts. Cleaning the drain hose is also quite simple, and let's start with it.

  • Drain the water from the tank of the Electrolux washing machine through the small emergency drain hose located at the drain filter at the front in the lower right corner of the machine body.
  • Disconnect the drain hose from the machine body and from the drain pipe or siphon.
  • Thoroughly rinse the hose under running water, if there is a cleaning cable, use it, if not, you can clean the blockage with a piece of stiff wire.
  • Replace the hose and test the machine.

After 5-7 years of operation, Electrolux washing machines begin to wash worse. When you start looking for the cause, it turns out that the powder that we put into the cuvette, almost all of it remains there. It turns out that washing takes place virtually without powder, what is the problem?

When collecting water for washing, the washing machine must pass a stream through the compartment for the powder, so that the powder, along with the water, goes into the tank. Next to the cuvette is a valve that must open for water to enter the powder compartment. So, if the valve is worn out, clogged with dirt and water stone, it may simply not open. What to do?

  1. Remove the detergent drawer.
  2. Remove the top wall of the washer.
  3. Locate the valve at the base of the powder cuvette niche and inspect it.
  4. If the valve is worn out, it needs to be replaced with a new one, if cleaning can be done, then do it.
  5. Replace the lid, insert the powder cuvette and check the operation of the machine.

If the washing machine does not rinse or squeeze out water, even if you set a separate rinse program, this may be a signal that the control board is broken. Do-it-yourself control board repair is almost impossible, especially if you do not have the skills to repair electronics - contact a specialist.

If you can not only start the washing machine, but also turn it on altogether, the problem is probably either in the “power on” button or in the network cable. In any case, in order to check both versions, you will have to use a multimeter and measure the resistance on the button contacts, as well as on the wires of the network cable. To get to the on / off button, you need to do the following.

  • Take out the flask for powder, in the niche on the right side there will be a fastener holding the instrument panel, it must be unscrewed.
  • Unscrew the other bolts holding the panel and remove it.
  • Disconnect the plastic holders that attach the front to the board.
  • We find the contacts of the on / off button and measure the resistance.
  • If the problem is in the contacts, then they will need to be cleaned and soldered, and then assembled in the reverse order.

In the Electrolux washing machine, problems may arise with the network cable. Most often the contacts at the base of the cable become loose, because of this, power either does not enter the machine, or it does not come in intermittently, which is even more dangerous, since this can cause a short circuit in the control board. How to check the power cord? The simplest thing is to connect the test leads of the multimeter to the prongs of the power cord plug. If you find a malfunction, you will need to get to the connection of the power cord and the surge protector, how to do this?
  1. Remove the back cover of the washing machine.
  2. There will be a protective pad at the base of the power cord, detach it.
  3. We check the reliability of the connection of the contacts of the power filter and the wires of the network cable.
  4. If the wires were connected securely, then we disconnect the wire and check it for breakdown with a multimeter.
  5. The broken wire needs to be replaced, it is best to buy a new original network cable and put it instead of the old one.
  6. We collect the machine and check its work.

Important! When working with the power cord, never insert the plug into the outlet to avoid electric shock.

It may happen that the washing machine starts, the washing program is set, but as soon as you start the program and there is a load in the electrical circuit, the machine knocks out and the machine turns off. In this case, contact a professional electrician immediately, as the problem is most likely in the electrical circuit. Perhaps the outlet is faulty or the cross-section of the wires is not designed for such a load, in general, remember one thing - it is absolutely impossible to operate the machine with such a malfunction!

Image - Do-it-yourself repair of the electrolux ews 1046 washing machine

Another malfunction that can often be found on Electrolux washing machines is the breakdown of the heating element. It is quite difficult to confuse this breakdown with any other, since it manifests itself very clearly. Replacing the heating element of a washing machine is far from the most difficult thing and it is quite possible to carry it out with your own hands. The main thing is to do everything carefully and in accordance with the advice of experts.

Before changing the heating element, do not forget to check it with a multimeter, starting with the temperature sensor, perhaps the problem is not in him at all, but in the control board. This happens in rare cases, but this version cannot be dismissed in any case.

In conclusion, we note that the repair of Electrolux washing machines in a number of cases can be done with your own hands, especially if these hands grow from the right place. In some cases, of course, it is better to contact specialists and pay a lot of money, but very often you can do everything yourself and save a lot of cash.

The Electrolux company is one of the most popular in Russia, thanks to the production of household appliances.If you wash clothes in a typewriter of this brand, you need to know how to repair the Electrolux washing machine at home. Start by finding the problem and end up fixing it. How to do it? Recommendations of specialists will help.

Washing machines Electrolux Inspire, Electrolux Intuition and other models are equipped with electronic control. Therefore, it is much easier for the user to find the place of failure, because the self-diagnosis system displays an error code on the display (E11, E13, E21, E23, E24,, E31, E32, E33, E34, E36, E37, E38, E39, E3A, E41, E42, E43, E44, E45, E51, E52, E53, E54, E55, E56, E58, E59, E5A, E5B, E5C, E5D, E5F, E61, E62, E66, E68, E71, E74, E82, E83, E84, E85, E91, E93, E94, E95, E96, E97, E98, E99, E9A, EA2, EA5, EA6, EB1, EB2, EB3, EA3, EA4, EBE, EBF, EC1, EC2, EF1, EF2, EH1, EH2, EH3, EHE, EHF, E35, E57, EF3, EF4, EF5, E92, EA1). Even if the equipment is not equipped with a display, indicators indicate a malfunction.

Let's consider the main error codes:

  • E11 - water is not poured into the system.
  • E21 - there is no drainage of water from the tank.
  • E39 - the pressure switch is out of order.
  • Е41 – Е45 - the hatch door does not close.
  • E5A - malfunctions of the electronic unit.
  • E66 - breakdown of the heating element, heating system.
  • E71 - thermistor does not work.
  • E85 - the drain pump has broken down.
  • EB1 – EB3 - voltage problems.

There are still a lot of codes in Electrolux washers. We have indicated those that are most common.

Not all faults are indicated by symbols on the display. Some can be identified by external signs.

  • Washing machine (CM) does not turn on... The reason may be a damaged socket, start button, electronics module.
  • RCD is constantly triggered... Breakdown on the case or short circuit of the heating element, engine.
  • Washer does not fill with water... There is a blockage in the intake system, filter, hose. Possible inlet valve malfunction.
  • Water does not leave the tank... If the equipment does not drain the water, there is a blockage in the drain pipe, pump, hose. Pump windings burned out.
  • The machine makes a lot of noise during operation... A foreign object is stuck between the drum and the tub, the bearings are worn out, and the laundry is knotted to one side.
  • No water heating... Problem with heating element, thermal sensor, triac control.
  • The hatch door does not close... The tongue is worn out, the handle or the sunroof locking device (UBL) is broken.
  • The drum does not rotate, the device does not spin the laundry... The brushes of the motor are worn out, the drive belt has come off the pulley, the engine is faulty.

Top loaders are more likely to suffer from wear on the drum mounts, which can be compared to installing a new bearing. We have to completely disassemble the unit. There are also such breakdowns:

  • Top cover corrosion. The problem is in the specifics of the water supply through the top. Initially, the liquid passes through the cover, so the metal rusts quickly, which requires a complete replacement of this part.
  • Rubbing the cuff of the hatch. Through the hole, water flows directly onto the electronic lock, which disables it.

It is better to entrust the repair of the Electrolux top-loading washing machine to a professional. Inside the case, the parts are very closely spaced, so repairs are carried out almost by touch. If you want to do the work yourself, a video will help you:

Have you decided on the place of breakage of the front model? Then start the repair yourself.

Observe safety precautions when disassembling and repairing.

Be sure to disconnect the machine from the mains and communications.

Now proceed to the inspection and diagnosis.

After loading the laundry, the wash cycle does not start, the indicators do not light up? Check:

  • Power cord and plug. Did you notice the damage? Do not try to isolate them, the parts must be completely replaced.
  • An outlet. Connect another device to it to test the functionality.
  • Control Panel. Detergent, rinse aid often gets on the keys. So contacts are oxidized or buttons stick. Remove the control panel for inspection (see below for how to disassemble).
  • Network filter. Perhaps its contacts or the element itself have burned out.

How to check the filter and buttons:

  • Remove the top cover by unscrewing the screws at the back.
  • There is a filter near the wall. Are burns and swellings visible? Replace part.
  • Disconnect the wiring, unscrew the mount.
  • Remove the tray to inspect the keys.
  • Remove the panel fixing screws.
  • There are buttons behind the module. Replacing them is easy: press down from the outside, take out the element and install a new one.

The door must be tightly closed during washing. Therefore, there are two types of locks: mechanical and electronic. The first is the tongue and hole where the fixation takes place. The second is blocked at the electronic level (UBL), while a click is heard.

Inspect the door handle for damage. If the tongue does not reach the hole, tighten the hinge bolts. To diagnose UBL, it is necessary to inspect its contacts for damage and burns:

  • Fold back the sealing rubber.
  • Pry the clamp with a screwdriver, remove it from the place.
  • Remove the two screws.
  • Reach your hand and remove the blocker.
  • Disconnect the contacts if there is a problem.
  • Replace in reverse order.

During one wash cycle, the machine picks up and drains the liquid several times. After loading, you can't hear the noise of the fence, but the error code is lit on the board? You can clean the tract with your own hands:

  • Close the shut-off valve.
  • Disconnect the hose from the CMA body.
  • There is a mesh filter behind it.
  • Remove it with pliers.
  • Rinse under the tap.
  • Also clean the inlet hose.
  • Remove the top cover.
  • An inlet valve is installed at the rear wall.
  • Call his contacts with a multimeter. Normally, it will show 2-4 ohms.
  • In the event of a breakdown, unscrew the fasteners, unfasten the wiring and install a serviceable valve.

If the equipment stops with water in the tank, the drain will need to be cleaned.

  • Below, under the loading door, there is a door. It can be solid and fastened with latches or bolts.
  • Open the door, unscrew the filter counterclockwise.
  • Remove debris, rinse the part.
  • On Electrolux Intuition and other models, the pump can be accessed through a rear door.
  • Remove the screws around the perimeter of the cover.
  • A branch pipe and a hose are connected to the pump. Loosen their clamps, remove from their place and clean.
  • Disconnect the other part of the hose from the drain and the siphon and also clean it.

The pump is checked last. Examine the impeller. Often threads and hair are wound around it. In the event of a mechanical failure, the pump must be replaced.

During operation, the drive belt wears out and stretches. In "Electrolux" typewriters, it is located behind the rear panel. Replace the belt if it falls off. Install it first on the motor pulley and then on the tank pulley. When worn, the part must be replaced.

Inspect the engine and its brushes. It is the brushes that are used to transfer current to the motor rotor. Their graphite rods wear out over time. Pull the brushes out of the housing by removing the contacts. If the wear is more than half, install new elements. It is not difficult to buy them in the store.

If the motor malfunctions, do it yourself. How to do this is shown in the video:

It is not difficult to determine the problem, because the wash takes place in cold water. In this case, things are poorly washed, an unpleasant odor appears. In the article you will find information "How to clean the washing machine from odor, dirt and scale".

It is necessary to check the entire circuit: heating element - temperature sensor - main board. Electrolux units hide the heater behind the back wall, so repairs can be done by yourself.

  • After dismantling the back wall, you will see the terminals of the heating element at the bottom.
  • Disconnect his wires.
  • Remove the thermal sensor from the case.
  • Unscrew the center nut (not all the way) and push the bolt inward.

The main enemy of the heater is scale. Remove plaque from the part. In case of breakdown, install a similar option. The thermistor cannot be repaired in the event of a malfunction. For installation, install the replacement in the heating element housing.

As soon as you turn on the equipment, how does the protective machine knock out? This is a serious problem and you should not try to start the clipper again. The matter may be in the breakdown of the heating element to the case or in the short circuit of the engine. With such a problem, it is better to consult a specialist. For this time, disconnect the equipment from the network.

If the CMA housing vibrates and rattles, make sure it is properly installed. The washer must be on a firm, level surface. Level the feet of the machine.

Look into the loading door.Is the laundry strayed to one side? This problem is called "imbalance" - the drum begins to beat against the walls of the housing. Distribute items evenly inside.

A common cause of noise is a foreign object between the tub and drum.

How did he get there? Items forgotten in pockets, items of clothing penetrate the cuff or pass into the hole of the drum. It is possible to remove the part through the opening of the heating element. Disassembly steps are described above. When the heater is dismantled, stick your hand through the hole, scrolling the tank, find the object.

Is the work accompanied by a strong hum and rattle? Bearing worn out. For replacement, you will need to completely disassemble the washing machine. Details are shown in the video:

The reason for absolutely all technical problems can be the control module. He manages the nodes and parts. Therefore, if you have ruled out the rest of the options, and the work has not been restored, inspect the board. For repairs, contact the master.

SMA "Electrolux" works for 10-15 years, not because it does not break, but because it can be repaired. There are enough service centers in cities, stores have replacement parts. It's up to you to follow the recommendations for self-repair or call the workshop.

Most modern Electrolux washing machines have an electronic display with a fault code function. It appears if any error occurs during washing or other processes. Any user with even a little experience in handling household appliances can independently troubleshoot various problems and perform minor repairs to the blocks of the Electrolux washing machine.

If an alphanumeric error code appears on the display, refer to the instructions. It sometimes notes the main emergency situations and options for their solution. There you can also find a diagram of the location of its main nodes.

If the reasons for the breakdown are external (the drain or inlet hose is clogged, there is no pressure), there is no need to open the device. But if the defect lies inside (for example, the machine does not turn on or does not execute commands):

  1. 1. Remove the upper surface first. They stand behind the cars, unscrew the screws (2 pcs) under the cover and pull it towards themselves.
  2. 2. Unscrew the screws holding the back wall.
  3. 3. Approximately in the middle of the body, they find bolts that tighten both halves, unscrew them.
  4. 4. Move the body apart and gain access to the nodes and blocks.

If, when you turn on the washing machine, there is no characteristic noise of water passing through, and when you spin or completely end the washing process, there is no drainage of the liquid, then the corresponding codes will be displayed on the screen:

No or too little water supply in the wash mode. The required height of the liquid column in the tank has not been reached within a certain time.

With active inlet assemblies, there is no notification about the operation of the flow sensor

  • improper operation of any of the filler valves or triac in the control circuit of these mechanisms on the electronic module;
  • blocking of the intake valve;
  • blockage that prevents water from pouring inside, or low flow pressure in the water supply system;
  • wiring defect;
  • damaged flow sensor
  • pump;
  • blockage of the drain hose, pipes or filter with debris;
  • improper operation of the electronic controller
  • electronic board;
  • pump or its electrical wire.

An error occurs when the input valves are broken or clogged, the triac malfunction, low water pressure or improper operation of the control board elements. To check electronics and electricians, they use a multimeter, in other cases, use the visual-manual method.

Accidents in which the case is opened:

  1. 1. Malfunctions of the electronic board (EP). It is often found under the detergent drawer or against the front wall. Check the wires connecting this module to the filler nodes. If they are in order, then when you turn on the washing unit to the network or press the "Start" button, an alternating potential of 220 volts will appear on the valve terminals. If it is not there, the EP is to blame. It is difficult to fix it yourself.Better to contact a service or store.
  2. 2. The inlet filter is clogged. This is the mesh between the valve and the inlet hose. It needs to be cleaned.
  3. 3. Clogged or damaged valves - breakage or short circuit of the windings. When the program is started, water is injected into the machine with a characteristic noise. If it is not there, the hose is clean, and the liquid does not pass into the tank for filling the powder and other components - the valve is faulty. Some devices have several of these parts under the top cover, so you will have to check each one.
  4. 4. Blockage in pipes and assemblies. If the valves are in good working order, a step-by-step check of the cleanliness of the units is carried out. These are different branch pipes, hoses, a container for powders, a pressure switch.
  5. 5. The flow sensor does not send a signal to the electronic unit.

They put the multimeter in the "dialing" mode, connect its probes to the terminals of the windings of each valve. When the readings of the device are close to zero or infinity, the part is changed. The resistance of a healthy node is 0.2-0.4 kOhm.

It is easy to check the part if 220 volts from the electric power supply are supplied to its conclusions. It is enough to remove the valve and blow into it and at the same time press "Start". If the air flows freely, the unit is working properly.

In case of hitches with the exit - the malfunction lies in the part itself. It must be replaced or tried to be repaired (open and remove the blockage or breakage).

The code is displayed when a unit is depressurized, a defect or a break in one or more internal hoses. It means that liquid is collecting in the sump.

Verification can take a long time:

  • it is necessary to disassemble the device and drain all the water from the pallet;
  • turn on the car and observe where it flows from.

To pinpoint the leak, you can place a piece of paper under each assembly and hose. If a defective block is identified, it is changed or the damage is repaired with a sealant, glue, silicone.

The spent liquid has remained in the tank for more than 10 minutes. This defect occurs for the following reasons:

  • the pump is broken, its winding is damaged;
  • there is no signal to start the pump engine with electric power;
  • debris in the drain hose or filter.
  1. 1. Check the voltage at the terminals of the electric drive and the pump when the drain mode is turned on.
  2. 2. Disconnect the filter and drain hoses (internal and external, connected to the drain). It is necessary to identify if there is any debris in them.
  3. 3. Determine with a multimeter the presence of a resistance of 170 ohms in the drain pump coil. If it shows values ​​much less than the specified one, then the turns are closed. If the readings are greater, there is a break.

If you encounter this error, you must immediately stop and turn off the machine. The code occurs due to an excess of foam in the tank.

The danger is that the foam clogs the sewer riser and begins to seep into the side branches to the neighbors.

To prevent trouble:

  1. 1. Turn off the machine and pull the hose out of the drain.
  2. 2. Substitute a bathtub or other large container and, turning the washing machine on to the drain, gradually remove any frothy water from it.
  3. 3. After cleaning the unit from excess foam, turn on the washing program so that clean water is collected in the machine. Then insert the hose into the drain and switch the program to drain.

It does not interfere with checking the pump and filter - they can be clogged with debris and foam.

The code notifies about the activation of the automatic leakage control system - Aqua Control. The electronics will start the pump to completely drain the liquid or open the container with the absorbent, which will fill a special two-layer hose and block the water inlet into the device.

The machine will then beep and may stop. It will not turn on until the cause of the leak is found. This is often due to electronics malfunction. If the wiring, electronic device or the pump itself is damaged, it overflows, and the Aqua Control system is triggered.

The test begins with determining the voltage at the pump contacts. If it is not there, they inspect the electronic board and wires. Otherwise, check the resistance of the coils of this node. If it is 170 ohms, remove the pump, disassemble and check.

Various identification and testing devices can become a source of incorrect functioning of the washing machine. If they are faulty, the corresponding signal will not be sent to the main unit and the unit will stop, some element will burn out or there will be a leak.

Electrolux washing machines are popular with customers. Modern models have wide functionality and convenient control, but at the same time they are in an affordable price segment.

Unfortunately, technology doesn't last forever. When a problem occurs, you have a choice: either contact the service center, or try to repair the Electrolux washing machine with your own hands.

To determine a malfunction, it is not always necessary to disassemble the Electrolux washing machine; it is enough to pay attention to the behavior of the CM during operation.

Let's look at the causes of breakdowns that are inherent in Electrolux Intuition washing machines (Electrolux Intuition), Electrolux Inspire and other models.

Have you decided to start washing, but the machine will not start? Don't panic. Let's understand the reasons:

  • Perhaps there is no voltage in the network, or it is not enough to start the CMA. How can I check this? It is enough to connect any household appliance to an outlet. If the device works, it means that the problem is not in the network. If not, then you can call an electrician or wait for the electricity to be supplied.
  • Defective power cord. Inspect the cable and plug carefully for damage. If any, the cord must be replaced.
  • Check the hatch door. It may not have closed before it clicks, so the process will not start.

  • The contacts of the start button are oxidized. To check, you will have to remove the control panel and do the repair yourself.
  • Problems with the main module. Failure of the control board is a serious matter. Sometimes a professional handyman may be required.

It happens that the Electrolux washing machine does not fill or drain water. For what reasons this happens:

  • Weak water pressure. The inlet valve is not open properly.
  • The water intake hose is bent. We need to inspect it and restore work.
  • The inlet valve, which is responsible for supplying water to the system, could have failed.
  • A mesh filter is installed in front of the inlet valve, which protects against the penetration of small particles from the water supply. You need to clean it up. This can be done under the pressure of water.

  • The washing machine pump is out of order. In this case, the water will not drain.
  • Drain pipe clogged. Water does not go away due to blockage. The drain system needs to be cleaned.

After pouring the powder into the dosing tray, the machine sends a stream of water through a special valve. The detergent is removed with the water. Over time, the CM may stop picking up powder.

What caused the malfunction of the Electrolux washing machine?

The most common cause of a problem is a clogged dispenser. To eliminate it, just remove the tray and rinse under the tap.

If everything is in order with the tray, the inlet valve is likely to wear. Then he needs to be replaced.

With a similar problem, you can try to fix the problem yourself.

To do this, open the hatch of the Electrolux washing machine and take out half of the laundry. Having reduced the load in this way, try to start the CM again. If there is no result, then:

  • There is probably a problem with the car engine. The drive belt may have worn out or weakened, or the electric brushes may have worn out. It happens that the engine burns out due to a short circuit.
  • Failure of elements of the main board can lead to failure of any part of the washer. Additionally, you can check the wiring between the module and the motor.

How can you tell if your SMA is not heating the water? After starting the wash, wait 15-20 minutes. Then place your palm against the glass of the sunroof. Warm surface - there is heat. And if the wash takes place in cold water, the reason for this is a malfunction of the heating element.

The thermostat or voltage regulator could also be damaged.

Did the Electrolusk top-loading washing machine wash as usual, but does not go into rinsing mode? Most likely, the heating element (TEN) has broken.Since the water does not reach the correct temperature, the rinse will not start.

The reason for such a breakdown could be the control module. If a system failure occurs, it is enough to reboot the CM within 15-20 minutes. If this happens all the time, you will have to replace the module.

When you turn on the washing machine, knocked out the automatic box? This means that there are problems in the power grid. Never turn on the Electrolux machine again. Better to call an electrician to find out what the problem is.

Because of what a closure can occur:

  • Breakdown on the heater body.
  • Oxidation of the contacts of the start button.
  • Defective electronic board.

  • Moisture entering the motor causing a short circuit.

What is the reason why the Electrolux washing machine does not spin the laundry?

  • The tachogenerator, which controls the number of engine revolutions, is out of order.
  • Motor malfunction.
  • The pump is broken and the water is not drained.
  • Malfunction of the electric motor, or wear of its brushes.
  • A breakdown of the pressure sensor also leads to a similar malfunction. Since the water level in the tank is not detected, the machine cannot switch to another mode.

Subsequently, the Electrolux washing machine does not start work.

  • Check the handle and door lock for proper operation.
  • Check the device UBL (electronic lock).

The self-diagnosis system allows the user to determine the cause of the malfunction. When the malfunction code is displayed on the display, you just have to find out its meaning. Then the troubleshooting will be quick.
