Whirlpool machines are medium-priced models, therefore they are of high quality and long service life. But, like any technique from other manufacturers, a washing machine may break with time. To find out exactly what happened to the device, the codes appearing on the display of the machine for various malfunctions can.
Error codes
Frequent faults
The fault statistics of the machines from Whirlpool indicate that the most common problems are:
- The drain is clogged.
- The pump is worn and broken.
- The electronic control card is out of order. Most often, the control triacs are burnt or the mechanical command-and-control device is worn out.
- Heater or thermostat fails.
- The tank seal, nozzles or cuff begins to leak.
- Engine brushes are worn.
- The drive belt is broken.
- Engine contacts burn.
- Bearing or shock absorbers are worn.
- A foreign object enters the machine.
For replacement of drum flanges, bearings in the washing machine Whirlpool, see V. Khatuntsev's video.
Advice and prevention of breakdowns
- For external cleaning of the cabinet and the control panel, use a slightly damp soft cloth. If necessary, the housing can be cleaned with a neutral household cleaner, in which there are no abrasive particles.
- When the wash cycle is completed and the laundry is removed, the door should be left open for a short time so that the inside of the machine dries.
- If you do not wash clothes at high temperature or a similar washing is rare, sometimes run a program that involves heating the water to + 95 ° C, loading a little detergent into the tank. This procedure will clean the inside of the machine.
- Since the washing machines of Whirlpool have a filter to catch foreign objects that can get into the device with laundry, it must be checked and cleaned regularly - at least 2-3 times a year. To do this, first drain the water, then remove the filter and clean it, as well as the compartment in which it is located. After inserting the filter back and twisting it clockwise until it stops, pour about a liter of water into the drum to check the tightness. Now you can close the lid and connect the machine to the network.
- In order to avoid accumulation of detergents in the detergent dispenser, at least 3-4 times a year it should be removed from the machine and rinsed under running water.
- Inspect the lining of the lid regularly. It is advised to wipe it with a wet cloth.
- Regularly inspect the inlet hose to detect cracks and brittle areas in time.
- At least 2-3 times a year inspect the inlet hose filter to clean it if necessary. Do not immerse the filter in water. A good option would be to use it to clean the old toothbrush.
To prevent breakdowns, you need to perform a number of simple actions that will significantly extend the life of your assistant. These measures are universal and suitable for any brand of washing machine.
