Washing machine repair (+ most frequent breakdowns)

Getting started, first of all determine the cause of the malfunction and the breakdown itself.

A heating element
The heating element is most susceptible to breakage.

The most common ones are:

  • broken heating element. The reason for this: voltage drops and poor quality water. This type of problem includes heating element connections and a temperature sensor. If there is a lot of scale, the sensor refuses to work, and in case of a short circuit, the contacts of the heating element will burn out.
  • Malfunction of the AGR. The reason for this is the wear of the drive belt. This is indicated by the washing stopped during operation and the drum does not spin. Replace only with the original belt.
  • Breakage of inlet valves. When the rubber wears out, water flows into the tank. If there is a blockage in the valve, water will not flow into the machine.
  • Bearing problem.
  • Greasy pump.
  • Drain pump.
