Washing machine ardo DIY repair electronic module minisel 800

Read the recommendations for repairing the Ardo washing machine from the master!

The manufacturer (translated from Italian home appliances) is Antonio Merloni.

Front loading standard - FL models.
Drying - WD.

• 30% - blockage of the drain path, wear and damage to the pump:

We open the loading door, on the sticker we determine the model of the machine.

Unscrewing the drain filter from the front at the bottom, clean it.

We change the pump, which is located at the bottom right on the back side.

We loosen the clamp on the drain pump branch pipe.

We check the pump, clean it - in case of a malfunction, we change it.

Over time, mechanical wear appears on the shaft. The impeller dangles and does not pump out water well.

• 20% - malfunction of the electronic control board:

MINISEL board: Ardo models FL1000, FL1202, FLS81S, A800XEL, AE810, AE800X, SE810, FLS81S, AED1000X, TL1000EX, TL1010E ANNA610, ANNA 600X, A410, A610, A500, A1000.

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.

Module DMPU: Models A800, A804, A810, A814, WD800X, S1000X, T80, T800, TL800X, TL804, etc.

Malfunctions in the DMPU module

breakage of resistances R51 (A, B);
stabilizer U3;
Zener diode D24 (short circuit);
open varistor VDR5.

relay K1, K2;
Rsimistor TR2.
Diodes D1-D6, D9-10, D15, D23.

A thing of the past module DMPA:

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.

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.

• 10% - extraneous noise (bearings, shock absorbers, foreign object)

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.

Modern automatic washing machines Ardo Tl105S, Ardo 800 (400, 1000, etc.), are typical representatives of high-tech devices of this type, designed to facilitate the everyday side of our life.

But no matter how high-quality any technique would be, sooner or later, users have problems using it. That is, the machine or some of its individual functions stop working in the standard mode for this equipment. To be honest, most of the ACM breakdowns occur due to the fault of the users.

Those who operate the machine for washing clothes in violation of its operating conditions. But be that as it may, the washing machine has broken down and you need to take some action to resume the operation of the AFM. Let's say right away that the choice is not great here. And there are only three solutions. And one of them is quite exotic. So! In the event that your washing machine is an Ardo company, model Tl105S, Ardo 400, 800, 1000 or any other, is out of order, you can take the following actions:

• Throw away the spoiled machine in a landfill and buy a new one.
• Call a professional repair specialist for this type of equipment from the service center.
• Do-it-yourself repair of the Ardo Tl105S washing machine.

Let's leave the first two options and take a closer look at the topic of repairing the Ardo 800 washing machine with our own hands, as closer in spirit to people who are confident in themselves and have the same hands (and head).

Examples of 2 different types of malfunctions when repairing an Ardo Tl105S washing machine with your own hands

According to statistics, about 80 percent of AFM breakdowns are attributed to the mechanical component of the device.And only 20, for the so-called electronic brains of the washing machine. It is for this reason that, as an example, the manuals on how to repair an Ardo washing machine with your own hands were taken - the electronic control module (ECM) of the ASM and the bearings from the drum drive shaft.

In all automatic washing machines of the latest generations, EMU is responsible for the following operations:

• Soaking dirty things (linen).
• Washing itself in several modes.
• Rinsing.
• Provides control of temperature and liquid level in the AFM.
• Drainage of waste, dirty water and the like.

Thus, in the event of a breakdown of this kind, self-diagnostic testing of the AFM should be performed to identify a more specific place or part (all latest generation machines are equipped with this function) .After the test, the device will display information with an error code, that is, indicating the type and location of the breakdown.

For an Ardo module, this is the code F13 or F14. The problem of identifying a malfunction of the bearings of a washing machine is even easier to solve. This will be reported to you by a roar and similar noises emitted from the drum when it is running in the washing or spinning mode.

Before talking about the steps that should be taken to repair the module of the Ardo washing machine with our own hands, we will differentiate them as far as possible. So, if ACM indicates the error code - F13 or F14, then you can:

• Check and replace the control module fuse.
• Completely replace the entire EMU.
• Call the master or take the car to the service.

Unfortunately, there are 4 options, namely, partial repair of the module with the replacement of its individual parts, for a non-professional in radio electronics - no. We remind you that the AFM of today is a computerized device and the module is the main, main and expensive part of it. Thus, an amateur's ride to fix the EMU with his own hands will only lead to the final and complete breakdown of the washing machine. But to completely replace the damaged control module is a quite feasible task for a person with properly growing hands. And it takes place in this order:

• We find and carefully study all the available information related to the replacement of the electronic module of the Ardo washing machine.
• Disconnect the faulty unit from the power supply.
• We release from the fasteners and remove the upper panel of the ACM Ardo, in order to provide access to the control module.
• We release the printed circuit board from the fastening elements.
• We disconnect the electric wires going to it.
• We remove the board and replace it with a new ECU.
• We return (assemble) the machine to its original technical condition.
• We make testing.

Having determined the place of possible breakdown, by default these are the bearings located on the shaft of the drum of the washing machine, we proceed to the preparation of the repair. Note that the repair itself is completely uncomplicated, but requires a certain endurance. For the reason that in order to get to the part that needs replacement, you will have to disassemble almost the entire machine.

First of all, we purchase new bearings and oil seals that are fully suitable for your AFM brand and model. You can find information about this in the technical data sheet of the device. After the necessary spare parts are purchased, we prepare the tool that you need to carry out the repair:

• Open-end wrenches and caps.
• Phillips and straight end screwdrivers.
• VD-40 grease or its analogs.
• Hammer.
• A metal pin (rod) of small cross-section, 30 - 40 centimeters long.
• Pliers.
• Silicone sealant.

We start repairing the washing machine:

• We release the fasteners and remove the panels of the machine in the order described in its operating and repair instructions. The purpose of these actions is to gain access to the washing machine tank.
• Having reached the tank, we remove it, having previously freed the drum from the connections and wiring.
• We divide the tank into two parts, in connection with which we get access to the shaft at our disposal.
• We release the screw that secures the pulley.
• We knock out the shaft with a hammer (carefully).
• We replace the worn out bearings located in the rear of the drum by carefully knocking them out of the bore.
• We replace the bushing oil seals.
• We assemble AFM units and elements in reverse order.
• We connect to electricity and make a test run of the device.

Do-it-yourself Ardo washing machine repair on video

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:

1. 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.
2. We unscrew the self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the machine that hold the cover.
3. We find contacts and wires coming from the heating element under the tank, remove the terminals and sensors.
4. We unscrew the bolt that secures the heating element.
5. Gently, with blabbing movements, we pull the ten on ourselves, you can pick up the ten with a screwdriver.
6. We clean the heating element holder from debris.
7. 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.
8. We tighten the bolt, connect all the terminals.
9. 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. But in 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.
