We look at the power supply and the level of constant voltages (5 and 12 V) at its outputs. If there are no voltages at the IP output, check the corresponding elements - a power switch, a power filter, a power transformer T1, a rectifier (D11-D14), a U1 microcircuit.
They are used in typewriters with an asychronous drive motor and a mechanical controller.
Models A1000PL, A1000XCZ, A1000XPL, WD1000PL, TL1000X, etc.
The wear of the heating element increases with “hard” water.
Video (click to play).
Overgrowing with scale (scab), it gives off heat poorly and burns out.
You need to pull out the gum and not the heating element. Since pulling out the heating element, you can wedge the gum.?
This is important to avoid further leakage under the seal.
10% - wear of brushes of the collector motor, loosening of contacts, breakage of the drive belt
Remove the belt, unscrew the screws and remove the engine. The motor has two brushes, each attached with two screws. We unscrew the screws and remove the brushes.
Inspect the board motor power supply terminal and ground wire.
Very often, the contacts are oxidized from moisture and the machine gives an error because of this.
Each brush is installed in a brush holder. It can be taken apart into two halves. Pay attention to how much the brush protrudes.
This size should be at least 1 cm. The best option is 1.5 cm. After that, we assemble everything and put it back in place.
Having jammed the pulley, unscrew the upper shaft clamping nut counterclockwise.
If the oil seal is not filled with a specialized grease and the cross bushing is not lubricated with it during assembly, the oil seal will wear out very quickly, no matter what quality it is, this has been proven in practice.
It is not worth saving and improvising with lithol, grease and other lubricants, get better specialized lubricants that are used to lubricate the oil seals.
Standard sizes of Ardo bearings and seals:
This applies to modern technology - since 2000 (models AE800X, AED1000X, TL1OOOEX).
Thanks to it, you can diagnose (control module DMPU):
Close the hatch (without linen). Set the program selection to 30 ° C until it clicks. The temperature regulator to 0 ° C. Turn on. The drum rotates at 250 rpm. To check the buttons half load, additional rinse and others, press them. The spin speed increases from 250 to the maximum, provided for this model. In the absence of additional functions, press the spin button.
Indicators will blink when a malfunction is detected.
E00 | E01 - Draining. Clean the drain filter and drain connections. E02 - The water is not supplied or drained off correctly. The drain hose may not be positioned correctly. E03 - Water is not drained from the tank, also the drain time has exceeded 3 minutes. F2 - Temperature sensor. F4 - It is issued on the display if there is no water drain. A possible cause is a drain pump. F5 - The water is drained and instantly poured. The problem is usually in the water supply filter. F6 | F9 | F12 - Electronic module. F8 - The water in the tank has exceeded the available level. Suspicion of an aquastop valve. F13 | F14 - Critical.
Breakdowns are rare, usually associated with improper operation. Italian technology is distinguished by its high manufacturability and versatility.
How to carry out a service test equipped with the MINI-SEL board:
Control panels look different
The steps to enter the check mode are shown in the figures. - move the program selector knob to the 6 o'clock position - press button 4 - ENERGY WASH and, holding it down, press the POWER button. After that, the CM should go into test mode.
With temperature control knob:
- turn the program selector knob to the 6 o'clock position - move the temperature selection knob to the 9 o'clock position - press and hold the ENERGY button (for at least 6 s), at the same time turn on the power supply of the CM with the POWER button.
After that, the CM should go into test mode.
Turning the selection knob, we check the devices:
Knob in position 1 (autotest) - NTC temperature sensor (sensor circuit - for open or short circuit), pressostat, display (if any), door lock and main function buttons on the control panel
2. First, the cold water inlet valve is opened until a signal is issued from the water pressure sensor. The filling of water takes place through the compartment of the dispenser for the PREVIEW.
3. First, the heating element turns on and the water in the tank heats up to 60 ° C. Then the CM drum starts to rotate in a cyclic mode at a speed of 45 rpm (as in a washing mode).
4. The drain pump (pump) turns on. At the same time, the drum starts to rotate as during spinning.
5. Within 10 s, the hot water filling valve is turned on (if this CM model has it). At the same time, the CM drum starts to rotate.
6. The fan and heating element of drying are included (for models with drying)
The test mode is exited by turning off the power with the POWER button.
Any household appliances fail sooner or later. In some cases, this is physical wear and tear of parts and components of the unit, in others, incorrect connection and operation, and in others, marriage. We will devote this article to such a technique as Ardo washing machines, consider their typical breakdowns, the reasons for such breakdowns, and how to repair Ardo washing machines with our own hands.
The user understands about the breakdown of the washing machine based on specific symptoms. Only after studying these symptoms, he can assume a breakdown of a particular unit. Therefore, we will start by listing the most common symptoms.
The machine has stopped draining water. This can happen for several reasons, the main of which is the clogging of the drain system, which includes: a branch pipe, a drain hose and a pump. In very rare cases, the water does not drain due to a breakdown of the water level sensor.
The machine does not heat up the water, especially when washing 60-90 0 C. The reason for this malfunction is the breakdown of the heating element, which burns out due to limescale and settling scale. But the development of the resource of the heating element is also possible.
The drum does not rotate in the machine, it stands still. In Ardo washing machines, the tank rotates due to the drive belt, and if it breaks or falls off the pulley, the machine will stop. The problem is solved by replacing the drive belt.
Extraneous sounds appeared in the typewriter, similar to knocking or crashing. If such a knock is heard when the machine is turned off, then the reason is clearly in faulty bearings.Another reason for the rumble can be a foreign object in the tank.
Is there water leaking under the machine? The reason must be looked for in the drain filter or pipes. In the worst case, you need to change the oil seals and bearings.
Programs get lost or the machine does not turn on at all, which means that the reason lies in a malfunction of the electronic board.
Before you panic and call the master, take a close look and listen to the "symptoms" that appear, perhaps you yourself can find the cause or even carry out repairs yourself.
In many washing machines, the manufacturer has programmed error codes into the microprocessor, which appear on the display in the event of a malfunction. Here are some examples of codes of common malfunctions. A all codes of any Ardo model can be found in the instructions.
E00 or E01 - no water drainage due to clogged drain filter.
E02 - incorrect draining during spinning, the position of the drain hose is violated.
E03 or F4 - the drain time is exceeded, the drain pump is broken.
F2 - problems with the temperature sensor, heating element or control board.
F5 - self-draining, wrong connection of hoses.
F13 or F14 - malfunction in the control module.
Having found out the cause of the malfunction, we determine - call the master or we will repair it ourselves. In some situations, it really is not worth overpaying, but doing the repair yourself. For example, blockages that have arisen can be removed. Most of the garbage accumulates in the drain filter, so cleaning it belongs to minor repairs and can cost about 600 rubles. Although in fact, there is nothing complicated about it:
Open a small door at the bottom of the front of the machine or remove the bottom panel.
Then place a large, absorbent cloth on the floor in the area of the filter.
Unscrew the valve counterclockwise.
Pull out the filter.
Rinse it well with water, remove hair and other debris.
Screw the filter back on.
The problem is debris can become clogged not only in the filter, but also in the drain hose, nozzles and the drain pump... To get to them, you will have to open the car body. And this is classified as repairs of medium complexity, the price for which starts from 1,200 rubles, and if a malfunction of a spare part is found during the disassembly of the machine, then you will have to buy a spare part as well.
If a foreign object gets stuck in the tank, such as a bra bone, then you will have to completely disassemble the machine. Such repairs are assessed as difficult and will cost at least 2,000 rubles. And if you are wondering how you can get an item out of the car, then you can read an article on how to remove a bra bone from a typewriter.
You can replace or clean the pump yourself if you have free time and skills in working with simple tools.
In the Ardo washing machine, you can get to the pump from the bottom, it is either absent, or the plastic strip can be easily removed. The entire algorithm of actions and video instructions are in an article on our website on how to clean the drain pump in a washing machine.
If it is necessary to clean the drain hose, then one end of it must be pulled out of the sewer pipe, and the other must be disconnected from the pipe coming from the pump. Then the hose itself is cleaned with a flexible cable, at the end of which there is a small brush. After that, the hose must be rinsed under running water, wiped and connected in place.
Quite often, a heating element fails in washing machines. Diagnosing its malfunction is simple: when washing things in water heated to 60 0 C, put your hand to the drum hatch. And if it is cold, it means one thing - the ten is burnt out, you will have to change it. Replacing a heating element refers to repairs of medium complexity, the cost of which will cost up to 2,000 rubles plus the cost of the heating element. But do not rush, because getting to the heating element is not difficult and you can do this through the back cover of the case, for this:
We disconnect the machine from the network, disconnect it from the water supply and sewerage system, deploy it so that it is convenient to work.
We unscrew the self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the machine that hold the cover.
We find contacts and wires coming from the heating element under the tank, remove the terminals and sensors.
We unscrew the bolt that secures the heating element.
Gently, with blabbing movements, we pull the ten on ourselves, you can pick up the ten with a screwdriver.
We clean the heating element holder from debris.
We take the original heating element for the Ardo typewriter, insert it into the holder for the heating element, so that the sealing gum completely fits into place.
We tighten the bolt, connect all the terminals.
We collect the machine.
Pay attention! Regular cleaning of the washing machine from scale will extend the life of the heating element, but you should not rely on advertised water softeners.
Replacing the electronic module is also not difficult and belongs to the middle class. However, this is in the case when there is confidence that the module will have to be completely replaced one hundred percent. Butin some situations, the module can be repaired by replacing individual elements on it. This is of particular importance, because the module itself is quite expensive, in some models its price is one third of the price for the entire machine. It is not uncommon for people to refuse such repairs and buy a new automatic machine.
Working with electronics is specific, it is necessary to possess not only the skills of working with tools, but also knowledge in a certain area. Therefore, in such a situation, it is better to contact a specialist who accurately diagnoses the malfunction and can replace the element correctly.
For your information! There were times when some craftsmen independently changed the control module, connecting all terminals and sensors, and as a result, the new module burned out.
The most difficult repair, according to experts, is the replacement of bearings and oil seals in Ardo washing machines. This is because you have to almost completely disassemble the machine and take out the tank, and the bearings themselves are difficult to remove. Special tools, patience and dexterity may be required. In such a situation, it is much wiser to give the car to the craftsmen than to repair it in your apartment, where there is not much room to turn around.
For those who still want to save money or gain experience in repairing washing machines, we suggest watching a detailed video on replacing bearings.
Thus, only after assessing the complexity of the repair and your real abilities, you can begin to eliminate the malfunction yourself. Sometimes it is better to pay a technician than to pay twice later for a failed repair attempt.
