Repair of household appliances. Why does the washing machine wash for a long time

We all sometimes love to act like children. This can manifest itself in anything, but the essence is the same - to draw attention to yourself and feel that someone needs us. Oddly enough, but washing machines are also capricious, for example, they do not want to turn off.

  Only if this happens to us involuntarily, unplanned, then the whims of the washers have their own specific reasons that must be sought and eliminated. Today's whim, which we will analyze in the rubric, is a situation where the washing machine does not turn off. What to do in such a situation if the washing machine does not turn off?

The washing machine is stuck in the middle of the wash

Washer   stopped in the middle of washing, and the washing machine itself does not erase further? As an option, the filter clogged in front of the drain hose. Accordingly, water cannot be trouble-free and an error occurs in the program and, as a result, the washer cannot finish the program and the machine does not turn off. Also check all drain hoses and pipes where they were for clogging.

It is possible that the drain pump (pump) of the washing machine “flew”. Here either repair or replacement with a new one is possible. We recommend a replacement, since repairing a worn-out drain pump will make the machine work briefly. Then, you still need to replace with a new part.

The washing machine washes clothes in the second round

It happens that you can hear such complaints about the operation of the washing machine: “it does not turn off itself during washing (for example), that is, can wash foreveruntil you turn it off by holding the power button, for example, or by unplugging it from the network. ”

And there are situations when the washing machine freezes and after the end of the program it does not turn off, but automatically starts washing in a new way. I.e, the washing machine erases non-stop,   nonstop. Only this way does not happen every wash, but, for example, every other time.

The reason for this behavior of the washing machine may be. The program crashes in the module, it “thinks” that there was no washing and gives a command to start a new cycle.

It is possible that the heater (tubular electric heater) is defective or it is serviceable, but is close to breakage and periodically fails, creating. In this case, the program breaks down in the module and it turns out that the washing machine erases indefinitely and does not stop.

The washing machine erases for a long time, longer than usual

Sometimes you start to notice that the washing machine has become longer to wash. And the washing time can increase two or more times. Undoubtedly, the machine should not wash for so long and doubts begin to arise about the serviceability of the equipment.

There may be several reasons for this behavior of the machine.

At first, one of the culprits may be a faulty heater (tubular electric heater). It's simple - the water in the tank does not heat up or heats up, but very weakly. And the program of the washing machine is designed in such a way that after a set of water it begins to heat up to a predetermined temperature. And only when the temperature has reached the desired level, a special signal is sent to the washing machine program. When there is no heating, then there is no signal, so the program freezes in place.

Secondlywhen the washing machine was connected incorrectly, the water that has just been collected into the washing machine begins to gradually merge into the sewer. Moreover, this effect may occur immediately after the installation of the equipment or after some time. It turns out that the washing machine simply does not have time to warm up the water to the desired temperature, since constantly part of the hot water seeps into the sewer, and instead the same portion of cold water enters the tank and needs to be heated again. Eliminate the problem of constant drainage of water into the sewers will be able to our masters on what they have already done several times.

Thirdly, This may be a “glitch” of electronics, which a qualified person must watch, so as not to harm the equipment.

Another reason   the fact that the washing machine erases too long may be a clogged mesh filter installed at the entrance to the washing machine. Or a clogged, kinked water hose. Or a weak pressure of water. All these reasons lead to a slow intake of water into the tank, so slow that the washing time increases markedly.

In any case, when the washing machine erases for a very long time - this is an occasion to take the help of professionals. You can order diagnostics of the washing machine to detect a breakdown or just to make sure that the equipment is in good working order any day by phone in Kiev 383-90-60.

Call a wizard or try to repair it yourself

Is it worth it to spend time / effort / nerves to study the wisdom of repairing washing machines, to put the machine at risk of doing more harm (as in this) due to the lack of necessary experience in this specific business?

I recalled what I read once correspondence on one of the forums,   who smiled 🙂

- my washing machine does not turn off, what should I do?

- what problems will the specialist see?

- the question is not critical, I wanted to try it myself.

- You can try with girls, experiment, but here you can break a mona 🙂

Among washing machines that have been operating for more than a year, often failures occur. Often, owners of automatic machines complain about the increased washing time. Why does the washing machine wash for so long? In some cases, this panic is caused by excessive suspiciousness, but basically it is a sign of malfunctioning control nodes. In this article, we will look at typical breakdowns that result in non-stop washing.

This is one of the most popular problems for automatic washing machines. In cases where the pump, for whatever reason, cannot supply the amount of water needed for operation, the washing session may increase. At first, they do not pay attention to this, but over time, the problem with insufficient water supply can lead to serious malfunctions.

Fixing this is pretty simple. Check how good your mixer delivers. Clean debris from the filter screen, which collects various deposits and debris from tap water. Make sure that the machine is fully open. pay attention to water supply valveif it does not work correctly - replace it with a new one.

Broken drain

The malfunction is similar to that described above. But this time washing machine   it erases for a long time because the outflow of dirty water from the drum is difficult.   The reason for this may be accumulation of debris in pipes, hoses or. Clear blockage filter   not difficult, just dismantle it and get rid of garbage. Pollution branch pipe   remove is much harder. To do this, you will need:

• disconnect the washing machine;
• install it so that the washing pump is in the upper part;
• loosen the mounting clamp connecting the pipe to the pump;
• dismantle the pipe and thoroughly clean it.

After all the procedures, it is necessary to carefully install all the parts in place and make a trial run of the machine. Make sure that all parts are installed correctly and that the components are tight.

A blockage can also occur in hose. Due to the dirty tap water, various accumulations form on its walls, making it difficult for the fluid to flow. In this situation, it is best to replace the system with a new one.

Constant water circulation

You cleaned all the blockages and replaced the worn parts. Why is the washing machine still washing for a long time? The cause may be a problem with the circulation of water. While collecting and draining water, the machine cannot properly heat it, stretching the washing session for long hours. This is due to a number of reasons.

Error connecting machine

The main reason for this problem is installation errors and. Hose installation on more low level   or wrong connection siphon   can provoke unauthorized leakage of water. Picking up into the drum, it will leave almost immediately through the drain.

Carefulness during installation and exact following of instructions will help you to avoid this. The image shows the optimal height and position. If you do not have sufficient technical skills for self-installation of household appliances - consult a specialist.

Pressure switch failure

Each modern washing machine is equipped with an automatic. By transmitting data to the control module, it controls the presence or absence of fluid in the drum. Failing, he ceases to notify the control module of a sufficient amount of water, as a result of which its excess is formed. The excess part of it merges into the sewer, forming a continuous flow. No need to talk about how much washing can drag out in a similar situation.

Heating element malfunctions

A problem with non-stop washing may be that it does not work. By increasing the heating time, the machine automatically prolongs the washing session. This problem can only be solved by replacing worn parts.

Defective temperature sensor

Along with the pressostat, popular models are necessarily equipped with a temperature sensor. It determines the temperature of the liquid and passes this information to the control module. Receiving incorrect data, the module can increase the heating time by prolonging the wash. You can avoid this simple replacement thermostat.

We examined the main reasons why the washing machine can wash for a long time. As a rule, malfunctions are not as scary as you might think. Do not panic and do not rush with, because sometimes repairing an old model is much cheaper.

Probably, any person will care about such a problem as a long wash of things. Basically, such a malfunction can be caused by two factors.
  First   - This is a failure or a complete breakdown of the main component - the heating element.
  Second   - The malfunction may lie in the incorrect location of the hose, which drains the water. Actually, now we will examine in more detail each of these elements. How can a heating element affect a long time washing things? Everything is very simple here - when the drum of the washing machine is filled to the appropriate level, the process of heating the water occurs.
  Accordingly, if the heating element is in a malfunctioning state, the heating of the water takes a very long time, and may not heat the water at all (in especially neglected cases). It is strictly not recommended here to climb into the heating element yourself without the required experience. If the problem still lies in the heating element, then you should contact a specialized repair service and call an experienced craftsman for inspection and further repair of the equipment.

It is important to remember that repairing washing machines is a very "delicate matter", and if you try to fix a specific problem on your own (without experience), then this can lead to even more problems. In specific models of machines from different manufacturers, an appropriate signal is received on the mounted sensor that the water in the tank of the washing machine is heated to the required temperature. Then the process of washing things begins. However, if the heating element fails, then the water will not heat up and, accordingly, a special signal will not be sent to the control panel. So it turns out that washing can take a very long time.
  Currently, modern washing machines are equipped with a special warning signal that stops the operation of the “unit” if the water is not heated enough.

Now we turn to the second problem, which may accompany too long work - this is the wrong location of the hose, which drains the water. Many will probably wonder - how can a regular hose affect the duration of washing things? Everything is also simply explained here. The hose that drains the water from the washing “unit” should be placed at a distance of at least sixty centimeters from the level of the floor covering. If the drain hose is set slightly lower, then when the washing machine is operating, water will gradually be drawn into the drum and immediately drained. This also affects the duration of the wash, so make sure that the drain hose is positioned correctly. It is quite possible to do such work yourself.

You habitually threw the laundry into the washing machine, selected the program, the washing started ... and after a while you find that it has not ended. The machine erases, but for an unusually long time.

The first thought that comes to mind is "something went wrong." But what exactly? The reasons why the machine began to wash quite a lot for a long time. Let's try to figure it out.

To do this, you will have to wait until the end of the wash, run some kind of not-so-long program and start observing in order to understand which process takes longer than the set time.

7 common problems associated with filling or draining water, in which the washing machine works for too long

Often, an excessively long wash cycle indicates that the machine has difficulty in collecting or draining water. You can notice this by the time that the washer spends on the bay or, on the contrary, water discharge.

4 failures associated with heating or failure of the control module, in which the washing machine erases for a long time or completely freezes

The second - no less common group of reasons is associated with the heating of water and the failure of the overall washing cycle control system.

*Attention! This price includes only the work of the master, and does not include the cost of consumables. The final price, including repair work and accessories, will become known after the diagnosis of the washing machine.

** Diagnostics is free, but if you refuse to repair, you will need to pay 400 rubles for a specialist’s visit.

Often we are asked the question: if the machine erases for a long time - can it be used? On the one hand - if the electronics do not work and the unit itself does not refuse to work - we can assume that the situation is not so critical. However, it is important to understand that working in this mode, the machine is working hard. The nodes that started to fail will naturally fail first. But there is a great chance that they will “pull” others along with them: after all, without exception, all the details during such work will be heavily loaded!

Even if you are not afraid of huge light bills - and consuming a machine with an excessively long washing cycle, of course, there will be significantly more electricity - the prospect of a major repair of the washing machine or its complete replacement is unlikely to please you! So we advise you to contact the specialists at the first sign of a prolonged wash:

7 (903) 722 – 17 – 03

The wizard will conduct diagnostics directly at home - by the way, in “RemBytTech” she completely free, - and will report the exact reason for such an unusual behavior of your typewriter. Then, with your consent, will carry out repairs. It takes very little time, and you can again return to the usual rhythm of life, where washing takes exactly as much time as indicated in the instructions.

Possible malfunction household appliances   it may be the fact that your washing machine erases for a long time without stopping. In this case, the problem may have a specific severity - washing cycles are repeated one after another or one cycle cannot end. In any of these options, it is better to consult a specialist or call a master at home.

The wash lasted longer than usual

According to statistics, 95% of users have no idea how much the machine erases in time in normal mode. Machines save owners from participating in the process, so a prolonged wash cycle is always detected by accident. To identify the reasons for the long washing of the machine after many years of operation of a household appliance, it is necessary to take into account factors:

• signals about switching operations of the washing program are provided by sensors that respond to different washing conditions
• scale scale on the walls of the heating element will lower the heating temperature, after which, the automation will loop in the heating mode, will not be able to turn on the washing command

Checking the connection of the household appliance to the sewage system will allow you to understand why the water is constantly heating, the main washing mode cannot turn on. The portion of water entering the drum heats up and goes into the sewer if it is connected incorrectly.

The most probable reasons for the operation of the “washing machine” without stopping are:

• clogged filter - the mesh at the inlet of the HCG is clogged, water does not enter the tank
• hose kink - fluid cannot straighten it with its own pressure
• electronics failure - consequences can be unpredictable

In the first two cases, water will enter the machine very slowly, the specified program will remain stable, but the washing time will increase significantly.

Laundry in the second, third round

If the washing machine accidentally erases without stopping cycle after cycle, the reason most likely lies in the electronic module. He “does not see” the process of completing washing, jumps to the beginning of a new cycle automatically. This malfunction is very dangerous for delicate materials that erase a strictly defined time.

Without calling the wizard from a specialized service, it will not be possible to solve the problem. The cause of the program failure can be the heater or the network filter:

• during the development of the resource, the heating intensity may decrease, the shell of the spiral may be damaged, radio interference in the filter may occur
• the program ceases to understand how long the washing process lasted
• restarts the cycle immediately after its completion

To diagnose why washing is constantly turned on after completion of the previous cycle, the master uses a multimeter, his own knowledge of the design of a household appliance. Having ascertained the reasons, he most often eliminates the malfunction on the spot.

The washing machine is stuck in the middle of the process

Unlike previous cases, the wash cycle cannot be completed within a few hours. The main reasons why a washing machine can wash for a long time without stopping can be:

• filters - if the input filter screen becomes clogged, the machine will freeze at the beginning of the process, a clogged output filter screen will stop the cycle at the rinse stage (water will not be able to drain from the drum by itself)
• hoses - during pinch, the situation is similar to the previous case, if the sewer hose etches, water will be infinitely infused into the housing
• pump - if the pump fails, the liquid will also not be able to drain from the machine, which will automatically stop the program

If there is a tool with malfunctions, the home master will be able to cope independently. Spare parts can be found at service centers or ordered from the manufacturer.

Error Codes

When the electronics are operational, even if the washing in the machine occurs non-stop for a long time, the user will be able to establish the reason with a high probability, thanks to the error codes on the display. For example, if the operation of a household appliance is impaired by clogged filter grids, pinched hoses, a broken pump, it is most likely error codes E05 or E02 (exceeding the tank filling time of 10 minutes or 2 minutes, respectively).

In addition to these reasons, a malfunction may consist in:

• interruptions in water supply, low pressure
• faulty pressure switch (level sensor), valve, wire connections, controller

You can find out how long the cycle lasts in the settings of the household appliance. Errors are very accurately reported about drain problems:

• E09 - excess foam due to excess powder dosage
• E06 - the machine does not see an empty tank, the program freezes
• E03 - drain lasts longer than one and a half minutes

The first problem will be solved automatically by additional rinsing. The second error will cause the machine to be turned on constantly until the fault is fixed. Usually, in this case, the valve is blocked (spontaneous reconfiguration of the modes), the pressure switch is damaged, the drain is clogged, the drain pump is out of order.

In some cars (for example, the Hans brand), the E05 code means that there is no heating of the water in the tank. The washing does not turn off, the program waits for the heater to give the desired temperature to the water. With a low voltage, a damaged heater, this will have to wait a long time. The same code pops up during slow heating (4 degrees in 10 minutes) or about a temperature sensor failure. Any of these options leads to an increase in the washing cycle time to almost infinity.
