Breakdowns occurring in washing machines - it's normal. After several years of operation, each device has its own "problem areas" - whether it's an electronic module, an engine, a drain system, etc. The place of occurrence of problems is difficult to predict in advance: it depends not only on the manufacturer and the specific model, but also on many other factors.
Sometimes, according to the peculiarities of the behavior of the washing machine, it is difficult to guess exactly which part of it has failed, although it is obvious that there is a problem. In this case, the unit is usually given for diagnosis. If the warranty period has not yet expired, this procedure will not cost you anything, but otherwise it will cost a certain amount of money.
But there is a way out - diagnostics can be free if you understand the intricacies yourself. About what signs of the appearance of faults should pay attention and how to correctly identify the problem, read this article.

How to determine the fault by the fault code?
Manufacturers of washing machines in advance have taken care of that we could independently diagnose the most widespread breakages. For this purpose, a system of special codes has been introduced, which the device displays on the display in case of malfunctions. More details about what the most frequent codes mean, read below.
- Codes F06 and E08 signal problems with power supply, as well as a broken Start / Start button or that the door of the hatch has not locked.
- If you see codes E02, E04, IE, E11 and E35, on the display, then the washing machine notifies you of problems with the water supply, the system of recruitment or discharge of water. It can also mean a "burnt out" electric brush or a loosely-closed hatch.
- Error code F04 appears on several occasions, mainly related to the set and drain of water. Seeing it, you should check the control unit, heater, as well as the condition of the drain hose.
- The codes F05, F11, E03, OE, E06, E21, E23, E24 appearing on the display indicate that there is a malfunction in the drain system.
- Errors denoted by codes F01, F02, E07, E09, SE, CE, E21, E22, F63, E01, can be seen when the drum of the washing machine stops rotating. The cause may be a malfunction of the motor, heating element or electronic module.
- If you see one of these codes on the display: F03, E05, E06, HE, E31, E32, E36, E61, E66, E71, , the appliance can not heat the washing water. Check the heating element, the sensor and the temperature controller, and also the triac( semiconductor device).
- The UE error usually appears on the display when the washing machine starts to generate extraneous noises during operation. After seeing this code, check the bearings, counterweights, springs, the integrity of the tank, the drum, and the presence of foreign objects inside the device.
