Hello everyone. Let me introduce you to a short instruction in which I will tell you how to replace faulty bearings in a washing machine drum. Very often there are questions from owners of washing machines on the topic of noise during operation and replacement of bearings. The noise during washing is primarily emitted by the drum bearing. I have washing machine samsung R1043... She worked for 6 years during which there were no complaints about her.

There were a lot of laundry during this period, I think about one and a half washes a day.

After 6 years, I thought about changing the washing machine to a new model. Chose a car Lg with a direct motor. And like a custom-made machine Samsung started making noise when washing. I purchased the selected model, which by the way is very quiet.

Since the call of the master and the consumables would cost me a normal amount, I decided to repair the machine myself. If you do it carefully, then everything will certainly work out. The main thing is to keep your arms straight. Next, I suggest you something like instructions for disassembling the washing machine and replacing the drum bearings. The article is voluminous due to the large number of photos, but it will be easier to understand the process of disassembling and replacing bearings.

First, let's decide on the necessary tool. Since I started not knowing that I would need a tool, I was looking for a repair. Here is a list of the entire set for you.

Video (click to play).

Since it is necessary to get to the drum of the machine to replace the bearings, it is necessary to disassemble it completely. Some models have a special cover on the back of the case, which provides access to the motor, belt indiscriminately. However, my model had to be completely disassembled. To do this, you need enough space so that it is more convenient to work and expand the parts.

Let's start disassembling. You must first remove the top cover, which is attached with two self-tapping screws from the back. To remove the cover, you must move it away from the face of the machine and lift it.

Remove the washing powder tray. The container is removed and three hoses are disconnected from it, they are clamped with metal clamps. It is convenient to open these clamps with pliers.

After removing the cover, it immediately catches your eyes large counterweight... The names of the parts are mine, since I do not know what they are actually called, but I think everything will be clear to you. Remove the large counterweight, which is attached with two long bolts.

We unscrew the bolts and remove the counterweight by lifting it up.

The counterweight is not light, so don't drop it or split it. By the way, it looks like a cast piece of cement mortar.

The body of the machine is connected to the drum by a rubber casing, which is attached to the drum by a large steel wire clamp. It is loosened by loosening the bolt.

Drum body without counterweight (top view).

Next, we put the car on its side and remove the bottom cover. It is made of plastic and is held by 4 self-tapping screws. Unscrew and remove.

A small counterweight, an electric motor and a pump are hidden behind the bottom cover, which are attached to the drum body. This whole structure rests on the body of the machine with two shock absorbers.

Next, we need to disconnect all cables from the contacts of the electric motor and pump.

Disconnect the two shock absorbers from the washer body, which are bolted down.

From the side of the top cover to the body is connected water inlet, unscrew it without disconnecting the wires. (wires will not interfere with us).

From above, the drum body is supported by spring hangers. Using pliers, first disconnect the hooks from the drum body, and then from the machine body. We'll have to suffer a little, but everything will work out for sure!

In order to take out the drum, it is necessary to remove the front part of the washing machine. First, unscrew the control panel and then remove the front part with the door. All of them are fastened with self-tapping screws. The screwdriver did it in half a minute.

And here we have a disassembled car body. We unscrew the small counterweight to make it easier to remove the drum body.

Here is such a small counterweight.

Those same spring hangers.

Now we carefully take out the drum body and place it on the floor. Before us is the main part of the washing machine.

At the back, remove the belt that connects the drum wheel and the electric motor.

An 8-point hexagon bolt attaches the wheel to the body. We unscrew it and remove the wheel.

We begin to disassemble the drum body.

We unscrew the shock absorbers first, unscrew the bolts not to the end, but only to free the second half of the body. Shock absorbers are not only attached to the drum body, but also pull together.

The body consists of two parts, which are compressed by brackets and clamps. It is easy to remove the clamps with a wrench.

You can easily remove the staples with a flat screwdriver.

Let me remind you once again to make marks in order to properly assemble the case.

We open the case and observe what is inside.

After I opened the drum, I saw an unpleasant picture. the heating element was completely covered with limescale. The plastic case itself and the drum were covered with scale.

The heating element is not easy to remove. The nut is unscrewed from the outside and it is squeezed out. You must first descale it. The element is fixed with an elastic band that expands after tightening the nut.

Now we detach the drum from the second half of the body.

Removal of the drum showed that the oil seal was unusable. The oil seal should protect the bearing from moisture, but it got to them, and they began to make noise during operation.

All scale from the body was removed with an ordinary metal brush for washing dishes. She does not scratch and does her job well. The scale turned out to be two full handfuls.

The outer bearing was ok, however I decided to replace all bearings. I knocked out the outer one (it's small) from the inside with a thick screwdriver and a hammer, gently tapping on the bearing rings. You have to be careful here, since the bearing is located in the aluminum sleeve so as not to scratch it. The inner bearing (large) was knocked out from the outside to the inside with a metal tube of a similar diameter.

He hammered the new bearings neatly into place with a hammer, placing a wooden block.

The washing machine is assembled in reverse order.

What did we end up with? The washing machine works normally, washes and does not make noise. In terms of costs, I saved a lot.

inner bearing (6204) - 60 rubles
outer bearing (203) - 90 rubles
oil seal (SMA Samsung 25 * 50.55 * 10/12 P6091 (DC62-00007A)) - 200 rubles

As a result, all the repairs cost me only 350 rubles.

After working for 6 years, the machine is in excellent condition, not counting the scale. I am pleased with the Samsung, but I bought LG, which proved to be very good, quiet and many modes of operation.

By the way, in order for the machine to serve you longer, you need to set it by level and check its position from time to time. Over time, due to vibrations, the washer can move out of place.

In the comments, a question was raised about an error that signals a blockage in the drain pump. Here is an interesting video that shows you how to remove the pump from a Samsung washing machine, clean it and check the quality of work.

Recently I found out a way to protect your washing machine from limescale.

I will accumulate interesting questions in the subsection of this FAQ article a little lower.

Thanks to the author for the instruction, replaced the bearings. although everyone said that it was better not to go into the machine.
To the author, my thanks! The casing got dressed without any problems. I would also advise you to have a marker in the instruments, to note all sorts of subtleties. Everything is working.
Thanks, saved $ 150.
Hooray. Everything worked out. It works. 2 times changed the bearing ... .. Thank you very much.
Thank you, it is great and understandable written.
mine worked for 5 years and the situation is exactly the same. Tomorrow I will take on changing the bearing, then I will write what happened, but everything is described in detail, given that I always try to do everything myself (this saves money and gives experience) your experience is very useful to me, thank you!
According to our description, everything is simple. Thank you.
Thank you for the detailed description of the repair process! It helped a lot.
Many thanks! I have the same model, also 6 years of work, and the bearings also rustled and the drum started to play. Now everything is clear and understandable what exactly to do.

In order to repair a Samsung washing machine with your own hands, you must have knowledge in plumbing, electrical engineering and have the necessary tools at hand. Self-elimination of malfunctions does not cause great difficulties, but it allows you to significantly save your home budget. It is not known how much the repair costs, but, as a rule, the prices for its implementation are quite substantial.

Over time, especially with improper operation, any unit fails. The washing machine is no exception. Samsung devices have proven to be of high quality and reliable, but they also have weak points. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that the most frequent breakdowns are the following:

wear or tear on the drive belt;
failure of the heating element (heating element);
failure of the filler valve;
malfunction of the drain pump;
destruction of the drain pipe.

According to statistics, heating elements and drive belts most often fail. As a rule, this happens due to errors in operation.

In addition, you need to know that each detail has a certain life span. For example, brushes of an electric motor have a service life of 8-12 years, a bearing unit - 6-8 years. Of course, these terms can be extended, but, unfortunately, not by much. So sooner or later, your washing machine will "ask for help."

To carry out a quality repair, you need to carefully prepare for it. This means that in addition to the tool, it is necessary to find a place where the machine will be repaired. It should be large enough and well lit. A garage is best suited for these purposes. For more detailed information about the device and car repair, you must definitely watch a video on this topic.

Before repairing, it is imperative to prepare a tester, a soldering iron, grease (for example, Litol-24), WD-40 liquid, solvent, rags and a camera. Filmed disassembly processes will be of great help during assembly.

It is better to repair the car together with an assistant.

In case of such a malfunction, first of all, it is necessary to remove the front wall. This must be done carefully so as not to damage other parts.

Special attention should be paid to on rubber seal loading door and all kinds of plastic latches so as not to accidentally damage them during repairs. To remove the front wall, you need to disconnect the lower bar, dismantle the top cover with the control panel. During operation, you will have to disconnect the wires from the electronic elements, so it is necessary to take measures so as not to confuse them during assembly. Now you can carefully detach the front wall and set it aside.

Next, we begin to work directly with the heating element.

All operations are so simple that a service center is simply not needed in this case. We disconnect the wires from it and measure the resistance. If it is more than the norm or is absent altogether, then you will have to remove the heating element. To do this, you need to unscrew its mount. It is between the contacts.Then we carefully take out the heating element itself and examine it. If there is scale on it, then it must be replaced. Given the specificity of the part, it must be remembered that it not being repaired... The heating element only needs to be replaced with a new one.

Important. Before replacing, carefully examine the marking of the heating element, if it differs from the old one, it is not recommended to put such a heater in the car.

It is very easy to repair this breakdown. To work with the belt, the rear wall of the machine is detached. It's easy to get to him. The only thing that can complicate the job is the counterbalance. If so, then you need to pull it back a little. Before removing the belt, you need to carefully examine it. If such defects as tears, cracks and abrasions are found, the belt must be unconditionally replaced. The old drive belt can be easily removed. To do this, do the following:

We take one thread of the belt in our hand.
We pull it towards ourselves with little effort.
Insert the screwdriver into the groove of the pulley under the belt.
We turn the pulley until the belt comes off it.

The new belt is installed in the reverse order. As you put it back in place, remember your experience with putting on a sleeping bike chain. For ease of use, it is first put on the engine pulley. When replacing the belt, you must also pay attention to its markings. It is impossible to install a non-original belt.

Important. Rubber dust on the bottom of the machine indicates belt wear.

Rather good maintenance rather than repair solves all the problems with these nodes. The main reason for their failure is clogging... Therefore, all repairs are reduced to cleaning them. The most acceptable access to them is through the bottom of the car. It can be easily removed. The process of cleaning them is as follows:

Remove the clamps securing the branch pipe.

Remove the drain hose.

Remove the pump carefully.

Remove the pipe.

Wash the removed parts with hot water jet. After assembly, the machine should work. If this does not happen, you need to remove the pump again and take it to a service center. Repair the pump yourself Not recommended, in view of the need for its precise adjustment after repair. When inspecting the branch pipe and if damage is found on it, there is only one way out - replacement.Important. Damage usually occurs at the points of attachment with clamps.A broken valve is not inherently a malfunction. Repair is reduced to replacing rubber seals. In order to gain access to the valve, it is necessary to remove the top cover of the machine. It remains to carefully get it out and replace all the rubber gaskets. If there are integral seals on the valve, then its life is unlimited.We have considered simple types of repairs. More complex, for example, replacing the bearing assembly of the drum of a washing machine, it is better to entrust the service technicians.As you can see, repairing and maintaining a Samsung washing machine with your own hands is not such a difficult business. Of course, there are also more complex types of repair, where you cannot do without a washing machine repairman. For example, when electronics fail. But such troubles are rare.

In 21% of cases, the reason for the failure of the CMA is the wear of the drive belt. The wash may stop in the middle of the cycle and the drum will not rotate. Only replace the belt with an original part.

12% of breakdowns are taken over by the inlet valves. As a result of rubber wear or drying out, water spontaneously pours into the tank. Also, the valve can become clogged, and then the water does not enter the machine well.

The remaining places are divided among themselves by parts: a drain pump, worn out oil seals and bearings.
Poor drainage is caused by a blockage in the drain system. Constant self-draining of water occurs due to incorrect connection. Depressurization of the elements leads to leaks in the Samsung washing machine.

By displaying the fault codes on the display, the system informs the user about the problem that has arisen. You need to understand the meaning of the Samsung washing machine error codes and start repairing yourself.

Consider how to repair a Samsung washing machine with your own hands.

It is necessary to check the drain system: most often the reason is a clogged drain pipe or pump.

Unplug the machine, turn off the water.
Disconnect all communications.
Remove the dispensing tray by pressing the release in the center.
Open the drain filter hatch on the bottom of the front panel.
Drain off any remaining water and clean the filter.
Lay the CM on its side, open access to the bottom.
Having found the location of the pump and the pipe, loosen the pipe clamps.
Disconnect the pump wires.
Remove the screws securing the pump.
After removing the pump, check it for clogging.
Remove the branch pipe and flush it from dirt.

Inspect the nipple carefully for damage. Most often, it loses its tightness at the clamp attachment points. In the event of a malfunction of the branch pipe or pump, new elements must be installed.

To check and replace, you need to get to the heating element. By the way the Samsung washing machine is arranged, we conclude: in order to get the heating element, you need to remove the front case of the washing machine.

We repair the washing machine ourselves:

After disconnecting the CM from the mains, unscrew the screws securing the top panel from the back.
Pull out the dispensing tray. Unscrew the bolts behind it.
Unscrew the rest of the bolts and remove the control panel of the Samsung washing machine.
Remove the bottom panel.
Bending back the hatch cuff, pry up the metal clamp and remove it.
Place the cuff inside the drum.
After unscrewing the door locking screws, as well as disconnecting the wires, remove the front panel.
There is a heating element at the base of the drum.
Disconnect the heater wires.
Unscrew the center nut (not completely).
After pushing the central bolt inward, remove the heating element.
Remove the thermostat from the heater.

If the thermostat is working properly, simply move it to the new heating element. Installation is carried out in the reverse order, after which the body is placed.

The reason for the lack of water may be a blockage. When repairing a washing machine with your own hands, first of all:

Twist the shut-off valve.
See if there is sufficient water pressure at the tap.
Inspect the inlet hose. Maybe he bent over, twisted.
Disconnect the hose and rinse under pressure from the tap.
Take out the filter mesh of the inlet valve.
Clear it from the blockage.

If, however, an excessive amount of water enters the machine, the filler valve must be checked.

After removing the top panel of the CM, you will see an inlet valve on top of the wall.
Disconnect the valve wires.
Unscrew the fixing bolts.
Loosen the clamps and disconnect the hoses.

If the overall valve is intact, replace the rubber seals. If not, install a new part.

To replace the belt, you need to know how to remove the back wall of the Samsung washing machine:

After unscrewing the bolts, remove the back panel.
Remove the old belt from the pulley.
If inspection confirms belt wear, install a new element.
Start sliding the belt over the engine pulley by moving and rotating the drum pulley.

Now you know how to fix a washing machine without calling the master.

When washing, did the CM begin to vibrate strongly, buzz, make noise? Check the correctness of the installation, how stable the equipment is on the floor.

A more serious cause of noise is bearing wear. To replace it, you need to know the device or have a diagram of the Samsung washing machine. The change of bearings is described in detail in the video:

The reason may be in the control panel. It is necessary to check the contacts of all buttons, perhaps they are stuck, or the keys themselves are pressed.

Another problem lies in the electronic board. Repairing a control module in a Samsung washing machine is not an easy task, so it is better to contact a service center. Of course, before contacting you can inspect the board yourself:

After removing the top cover, pull out the detergent drawer.
Remove the screws holding the control panel.
Release the plastic clips and disconnect the wires.
Having released the latches of the block, remove the cover and take out the board.

Visible damage can be highlighted by burnt-out elements, tracks. If nothing is visually noticeable, contact the service.

After examining the typical malfunctions, you learned how to repair and fix a Samsung washing machine with your own hands.

When starting a repair, do not forget about safety precautions. The video will help you:

Korean manufacturers produce high-quality appliances, including washing machines.

Usually, if a company is engaged in the production of various household appliances, and not just one kind of it, it is considered that the product is rather mediocre. This cannot be said about the Samsung brand.

A diversified product is in great demand among buyers, regardless of whether it is a household appliance or a telephone.

The company maintains its image by giving all its strength and knowledge to production. But, like any manufacturer, high-quality Samsung equipment also breaks down. We can not always turn to repairs: then there is no money, then there is time.

In order not to spend money on the restoration of the unit in the service center, it is best to perform the simplest operations to restore the equipment yourself. Today we will tell you how to repair a Samsung washing machine with your own hands.

Most often, heating elements, filler valves deteriorate in washers, drive belts are damaged.

Open the back cover of the device.
The belt must be pulled with one hand midway between the pulley and the motor to pull it out. Take a Phillips screwdriver, insert it into the groove of the pulley, and support the belt with your other hand.
Slide the screwdriver over the groove, freeing up any large portions of the belt and pulling it out of the groove.
When the belt has been removed, carefully inspect it from all sides for scuffs, damage. If any, replace it with a new one.
Now you need to put it on the pulley. Place the inside of the strap against the groove. To make the drive belt finally secure in place and get dressed quickly, turn the pulley with your other hand a little.

The pump consists of several parts:

electric motor;
shaft;
impellers (impeller);
a snail to which a branch pipe and a drain hose are connected.

Signs of a pump breakdown:

The laundry is not rinsed or rinsing does not work at all.
The car stops.
Spin does not start.
The water is not drained or drained for a very long time.
Washing powder is not completely washed off with water when it is collected, but remains in a small amount in the cuvette.

First of all, you need to determine whether the pump was the cause of the breakdown of the washing machine or not.

Listen to the pump. If it hums, makes noise, trying to turn on, water does not fill up or does not make any sounds, this means that the pump is broken.

Do-it-yourself Samsung washing machine pump repair is carried out in the following order:

unscrew the drain filter and clean it. The pump impeller may be jammed due to debris;
if, after cleaning the filter, you have not achieved a positive result, water has neither been poured nor poured into the device, then there may be a blockage in the drain hose. Dismantle it and rinse it.Then put it back and run the test wash. If the pump continues to work incorrectly, look for the malfunction further;
unscrew the filter and look into the holes, shining a flashlight. Feel the pump impeller with your fingers and try to twist it. If it rotates with difficulty, then feel for the debris that interferes with it: threads, hair and remove them;
if the pump impeller rotates freely, then disassemble the washing machine further to check the pump malfunction. The pump does not work correctly, mainly due to its blockage.

Therefore, the drain pump and the pipe must be thoroughly flushed. But to get rid of the blockage, you need to remove them.

To do this, you need to perform the following operations:

remove the container;
put the typewriter on its side;
unscrew the bottom protection;
remove the drain pump and pipe. Place a well-absorbent cloth under the pump, because when you take it off, some water will pour out;
disconnect the clamp to release the branch pipe;
disconnect the plug from the drain pump sensor;
to remove the pump, loosen the clamp and unscrew the fasteners.
remove the drain pump, turn on the hot water tap and place the hose under it so that the debris is flushed out of the hose and makes a passage for water;
fix the bottom;
put the washing machine back and check if it works.

The reasons for pump failure can be different. Do-it-yourself repair of the drain pump of the Samsung washing machine depends on the causes of the breakdown.

If it's not a blockage, disassemble the pump: unscrew the snail. At the same time, take a picture of how the electric motor is connected to it, so that you can then assemble it correctly. If the cause of the breakdown lies in the casing, which has been deformed by hot water, and the impeller blades touch it, then cut each blade by 1 mm with a knife, not more. Otherwise, the power of the washing machine will be much lower.
The impeller can also be the cause of pump breakdown. It can simply jump off the axis: it hums, but does not pump water. In this case, the impeller must be replaced.
Review all rubber gaskets. If any of them is cracked, rubbed, torn, then replace it.
Sometimes the pulley fails. It can also be replaced.

The inlet valve becomes unusable much less often, but such cases are mainly due to the fact that the sealing gum loses its ability to retain water, because it crumbles and cracks. We need to replace it.Open the top cover of the washing machine. The barrel-shaped element connected to the filler hose is the filler valve. Image - Samsung p843 DIY repair

Loosen the clamp, disconnect the sensor wire, unscrew the filler valve. Look for cracks in the rubber gaskets. If they are torn, replace them with new ones.

Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the sensor wire. If everything is in order, put the part back.

In our country, the washing machines of the South Korean company Samsung are very popular.

Accordingly, many users are interested in how to restore the operability of such a device in the event of a simple breakdown.

Indeed, the owner will be able to fix some faults himself without resorting to the help of a paid service.

Next, we will see how the repair of a Samsung washing machine is carried out with our own hands, what malfunctions are most common and what needs to be done so that the device works without such events for as long as possible.

You can't take a "Korean" with your bare hands - you need to cook something:

a set of screwdrivers or a screwdriver with a replaceable tip;
a set of socket and open-end wrenches;
adjustable pliers (width of capture is adjustable);
pliers;
side cutters;
two tweezers: one of increased length, the other with curved tips;
a soldering iron with a power of 30 - 40 W;
knife;
mirror with a long handle;
a flashlight or small electric lamp;
low power gas burner;
crimping pliers for fixing wires in lugs and contact connectors;
a flexible metal ruler with a length of 70 cm or more (using this tool it is possible to turn the drum into its normal position, the doors of which were left open by the user at the time of starting the machine by mistake);
a magnet on a nylon thread or nylon cord (helps to remove small metal objects trapped inside the unit);
hammer weighing from 300 to 400 g;
pliers for dismantling spring clamps, which fix flexible hoses on the fittings.

You will also need the following measuring instruments:

multimeter;
voltage indicator in the form of a screwdriver;
current clamp or ammeter for alternating current at 20 A (used to estimate the power consumed by the heating element during heating).

In addition to these devices and tools, you may need some materials:

Super glue;
silicone sealant;
sealing / insulating compound;
lugs for wires;
rosin for soldering or flux LTI-120;
heat shrink tubes for different diameters;
stranded wire;
metal and plastic clamps;
fuses for a current of 4 - 5 A;
insulating tape.

Prepare also a liquid for treating rusted compounds, for example, "Liquid Key".

Often during the repair it is necessary to understand whether the heating element is powered. To do this, just turn on the machine for warming up and look at the electricity meter: the speed of rotation of the disk or the blinking frequency of the LEDs (for electronic meters) should increase.

It is far from always necessary to disassemble the car completely, but when repairing some units, you cannot do without it. "Arrange disassembly" should be in the following order:

The top cover can be removed: this element is held in place by two screws on the back of the unit. Having unscrewed them, the lid must be moved back 1.5 cm, after which it can be removed. At this stage, a mains (anti-interference) filter, a level switch and a transformer will become available.
Next, you need to take out the distribution hopper for washing powder and disconnect from it three hoses held by metal clamps. The clamps should be unclenched with special pliers or pliers.
The massive counterweight found under the top cover is removed from the bottom up after unscrewing two long bolts.
Remove the front panel: for this you need to unscrew the screws that screw the control panel (two in front and one on the right). The left side of the front panel can then be detached using a screwdriver. Next, pull the lever and detach the plinth panel (this item does not apply to model R 6091). Now you need to remove the hatch seal by opening the clamp holding it.

After that, the front panel can be dismantled by first unscrewing the 8 screws that fix it.

At this stage, heating elements, a hatch lock, shock absorbers and a drain pump become available.

Dismantling the washing machine

Your next steps:

Consider the typical situations that the owners of Samsung washing machines have to face:

If the unit does not respond when the power button is pressed, unplug and reinsert.

If it does not help, try plugging in some device that you are sure of the operability of which you are sure of - this will help to check the presence of voltage in it. If the check showed that everything is in order with the power supply, you need to call the master.

If water is slowly drawn into the machine, you must first of all open the cold water tap on any of the faucets and make sure that there is sufficient pressure in the water supply. If the pressure is normal, you need to see if the valve on the water supply to the machine is fully open.

Further, the valve, the filling hose and the mechanical cleaning filter at the inlet to the machine are checked for debris and small objects.

Sometimes the reason for the slow filling of the washing machine lies in the low location of the drain hose - in this case, water will immediately pour out of it.

If your machine has a bottom-connected drain hose, its free end should be raised 2/3 of the machine's height.At a lower position, the water will drain out at the same time as filling.

The most common reason is that the machine is overloaded with laundry. After removing some of the things, the unit will return to normal operation.

Also, unplanned stops can occur due to poor contact in the power button, the result of which is the periodic blackout of the machine.

If the drum stops with a clatter during spinning, it means that the machine was installed skewed (checked by the building level) or the laundry is tangled in it.

The most common reason is that the door is not closed properly or the water supply to the machine has been interrupted. If everything is in order with this, then the problem is in the electronic "brains" of the device and you cannot do without a wizard.

Usually, this phenomenon indicates that the heating element is out of order due to natural wear and tear or due to the formation of a large amount of scale. In Samsung cars, the heater is located under the tank on the side of the front panel (it will need to be removed).

Before proceeding with the replacement of the heating element, you need to check with a tester the presence of voltage on its contacts.

It happens that there is no heating due to a breakdown in contact somewhere. Then you have to "ring" the entire electrical circuit. But more often the tester shows the presence of voltage, which indicates a malfunction of the heating element itself.

Having disconnected the wires and the temperature sensor from the heater, you need to unscrew the nut holding it, after which the heating element can be removed.

The seat, if necessary, needs to be cleaned, then a new heating element is installed. By connecting a temperature sensor and wires to it, you can assemble the unit.

If water begins to seep out through the powder container, it is either overfilled or the detergent has remained in it for a very long time, resulting in clogging. The container must be removed, rinsed thoroughly and loaded again with the amount of powder provided by the instructions.

The reason for the appearance of a pool of water on the floor is most often the disconnection or damage to one of the hoses - filling or drain.

If their condition is satisfactory, you need to take a closer look at the door - perhaps water is leaking out due to a worn seal. There are also seals at the point of connection of the filling hose. If the degree of wear is high, they must be replaced.

The inability of the machine to pour out waste water is most often caused by foreign objects or debris getting into the drain pump, its filter or drain hose.

Washing machine repairs are expensive. Even for an elementary cleaning of the filter, you will have to pay 600 rubles. Self-repair will help significantly save money. Washing machine Ardo: do it yourself repairs according to the manual of the master.

An overview of the main breakdowns of Bosch washing machines and methods for their elimination are presented here.

Zanussi washing machines, despite their reliability, have weaknesses - an unsuccessful door lock design and a relatively weak drive belt. In this thread https://my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/740/cancliz/mnogokvartirnyie-doma/santehnika/zanussi-stiralnaya-mashina-remont-svoimi-rukami.html we will learn how to fix some problems ourselves.

The machine may be too noisy if installed incorrectly or if the transport bolts behind the drum have not been removed. Another reason is the ingress of a foreign object, such as a button or a coin.

Also, loud noise can be a sign of a broken bearing. Replacing bearings is a rather difficult operation, since they are installed on the axle shafts and in the bore holes with an interference fit - a special puller is required to remove them.

If an unusual noise is heard when draining the water, it is necessary to check the correct installation of the machine (by level) and inspect the drain pump filter for foreign objects.

If the strange noise in the form of roaring, knocking or squeaking clearly comes from the electric motor, you should contact the service center.

If the machine fills with water with a loud noise, it could be an excessively high / low head or a foreign object in the filling hose. First of all, you need to try to normalize the pressure by turning the flywheel of the valve on the outlet to supply water to the machine back and forth. If the noise is not affected, it is necessary to disconnect the hose and check it for the presence of debris or small objects inside. You also need to check the coarse (mechanical) filter at the inlet to the unit and, if necessary, clean it.

In Samsung machines, the door is locked until the wash is complete. Also, the door lock is blocked if there is a high temperature inside the unit (drying or heating mode).

In this case, you just need to wait for a while until the machine inside cools down a little.

If, after that, the door remains locked, find a small cover on the right-bottom side of the front panel and remove it. Under it you will find a cable that must be pulled to open the door in an emergency. After that, you will have to contact the service department.
