Not Anonymous :: Attempt to repair the ARDO TL1000X washing machine
The washing machine has served for more than 10 years, two years ago we started thinking about buying a new one. But why, if this one works for now, a knocking noise was noticed during a small spin cycle two years ago. Then, during the next wash, there was a very loud knocking sound, and when the drum was simply rotating, there was also a knocking sound. I immediately thought that the bearing needed to be replaced. Well, let’s look at what’s going on: And so we have Pull the washing machine out of the bathtub to where there is more space, put plywood so as not to damage the floor Unscrew the screws securing the control unit Remove the cover of the control unit Remove the control unit Unscrew the screws securing the rest of the cover And remove it , you need to move it away and pull it to the back side of the washing machine. And we see that the drum roller is turning crookedly. It turns out that the tank cover is broken, where the bearing is located. We remove the drive belt and use a 13 key to unscrew the drum roller. At the same time, slow down the drum with some kind of board. We see the fastening of the bearing to the tank. We need to bend the locking bends of the bolts and unscrew them with a 10 wrench. We knock the bearing off the drum axis, I put a screwdriver and hit it with a hammer. The bearing looks undamaged, but the axis rotates crookedly. The axle and the bearing seat. We will remove the broken tank cap by disconnecting all the wires that might interfere with us.
We remember their location. We remove the white thing from the front of the tank, as I understand it, this is a connection with the atmosphere and protection against overflow. There was water in it when it started to bloom. Using a size 8 wrench, unscrew the bolts securing the tank cover. The lower support of the tank will go down under the weight. Put something under the engine. We remove the various connections of the tank. We unclip the clamps of the tank cover as shown in the photo. We take out the heating element. We remove the tank cover and see that the fasteners of the drum axle have collapsed and the inside of the tank cover. Then it turned out that the tank still spins crookedly on the other side. Then I tried to knock out the bearing and unscrewed everything. It turned out that you need to remove the plastic plug inside the drum and unscrew the bolt with a hexagon. After which, remove the drum from the tank. Having taken out the drum, I saw that the fastening of the drum axis was also destroyed on that side. I thought about it and considered that the repair here would take a long time, and there were a lot of basic spare parts.
I decided not to do any repairs. Next will be an article about how to completely disassemble it. We unscrew the screws securing the top on both sides. We unscrew the screws that secure the lid seal; they are located under the rubber band. We take out the plastic structure that the rubber band presses on. We disconnect the washing powder intake hoses and take it out; the top cover is attached to the front with latches. We wean off the lid lock when washing. We get this look. The elastic band is attached to the tank with glue and the wire is tightened with a bolt. We unscrew the tank fastenings on the other side. We remove the upper counterweight. We unscrew the water pump. We remove the water drain tube from the tank into the pump. We insert the tube over the plastic structure of the tank fastening. We remove the tank from the springs; then the electrical equipment on the rear wall did not come out of the tank; we remove the water supply solenoid valve; We remove various other sensors, it is not necessary to disconnect the wires. We take out the tank and see the following. We disconnect all the wires from the engine and unscrew the two screws of the engine mounting clamp.
We take out these fasteners and remove the engine. Unscrew the bolts securing the counterweights with a 13mm wrench. You need to be careful as they are heavy. Lower the counterweight down. We unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts. We remove the plastic structure and counterweights and get the following. Next, we remove what is left and assemble it in the reverse order. Theoretically, the tank with engine and counterweights could be removed from the body without disassembling it. Well, the weight is somewhere around 40-50 kg. If the damage to your washing machine is not so serious, then it can be repaired. All top-loading washing machines have similar designs. If you have any questions, I’ll answer in the comments.

Ardo washing machine won't turn on
If your Ardo washing machine for some reason does not turn on or start, do not rush to call the service center. It is very likely that this problem is completely solvable; the main thing is not to panic and act carefully in accordance with the recommendations that we will give in this article.
And you will always have time to spend money on a master!
List of reasons for failure
What caused this behavior of the Ardo brand washing machine. No master will tell you offhand, you need to watch. However, initially it will be useful to determine the range of possible malfunctions that could potentially lead to such consequences. What kind of malfunctions are these?
- Problems with the electrical network, machines, sockets, extension cords.
- Problems with the power cord or plug.
- The FPS - the network capacitor - burned out.
- The hatch locking device has failed.
- The contacts of the on/off button are burnt.
- The control module is broken.
The first two reasons from this list are jokingly called “childish” by craftsmen, although for a housewife who unexpectedly encounters a similar malfunction, they may seem quite serious. The third, fourth and fifth reasons require minor repairs. And finally, the sixth reason is the most multifaceted.
If everything works out by replacing the burnt triac on the control board, then this is a repair of medium complexity. And if several semiconductor parts have burned out along with the tracks, then this is a complex and expensive repair, or replacement of the board, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
"Children's" cases
If the Ardo washing machine does not turn on or start, you need to immediately start troubleshooting. Where to begin? And you need to start with the simplest reasons. It is easiest to check them, and the washer will remain in place. At the first stage, it will not have to be disassembled, disconnected from communications, or moved. What should be done?
- Unplug the washing machine from the socket, plug the plug of the working appliance into this socket and turn it on. This is the easiest way to check the functionality of the outlet.
- If the outlet works, check the extension cord to which the Ardo washing machine is connected in the same way.
Be careful! Burnt and exposed wires, as well as damaged sockets, pose a real danger. Observe safety precautions when working with electrical communications.
- The Ardo washing machine may refuse to work due to a damaged power cord. First, inspect the wire and plug visually; perhaps the insulating layer is damaged somewhere or there are traces of melting. If this is discovered, the wire cannot be used.
- If you cannot detect anything visually, check the wire for breakdown using a multimeter. Set the device's toggle switch to check the resistance (minimum value). Touch one probe of the device to the right tooth of the washing machine power cord plug, and the other probe to the left one. If a value in the region of 2 Ohms lights up on the device display, the power cord and plug are working properly; if the value is 9-12 Ohms or more, the wire is faulty, there is a complete or partial break.
If you find problems with the network cable, there is no need to try to repair it yourself, open the insulation, or change individual wire strands.
Change the entire wire along with the plug, this will be more reliable and reliable, and most importantly safer for you and your washing machine.
The mains capacitor burned out
The Ardo brand washing machine does not turn on or start not only because of the power cord and problems with electrical communications at home, such problems can arise due to the FPS, the so-called interference filter or the network capacitor. This semiconductor element is installed in the washing machine in order to suppress significant interference that is present in the household electrical network. And thus protect the sensitive electronics that the washing machine is stuffed with.
The interference filter is located at the end of the power cord inside the washing machine. To get it out you will have to remove the top cover of the Ardo washing machine. Unscrew the two mounting bolts, pull the cover towards you and remove it. Under the cover, in the place where the power cord fits, you will see a capacitor. We disconnect the wires from it and remove the part from the washing machine.
Attention! When performing the above manipulations, make sure that the washing machine is de-energized.
We set the multimeter to the minimum resistance value and call the capacitor. When ringing the part, you will see that the value begins to grow quite quickly until the display shows a large number or -1. This will mean that the capacitor is working. If you start the test, and the number 1 or 0 immediately appears on the display, the capacitor needs to be replaced.
We purchase a new capacitor, put it in place of the old one, connect the wires, put the lid in place, make the connection and see how the washing machine works, how it turns on and starts. If everything is correct, the repair was successful!
The on/off button is broken
The reason that the Ardo washing machine does not turn on or start may be the on/off button. Most often, this malfunction occurs in old washing machines that have already been in use for 10-12 years.
The probable causes of such a breakdown could be:
- wear of the contacts, in this case, before the button breaks completely, it will start to operate every other time, or even twice;
- contact of the button with water, liquid detergent and other chemicals;
- oxidation of contacts due to operation in conditions of high humidity.
What do we need to do? First, let's remove the control panel of the washing machine to get to the desired button. Remove the top cover of the washing machine, unscrew all the fasteners holding the front panel and remove it. Next, we need to inspect the button contacts and test them with a multimeter. In this case, we proceed with the device exactly as described above. When the value 1 or 0 appears on the display, you can assume that the button has burned out and needs to be replaced.
For your information! On some models of Ardo washing machines, the control panel is attached to plastic latches; to remove it, you need to carefully pry them off without breaking anything.
We remove the old button, in some cases you will have to use a soldering iron, and put a new, original one in its place. We install the control panel in place, connect and check the “home assistant”. If the washing machine turns on and starts perfectly, then everything is fine, but if during the test you found that the button is working, then everything is worse than it could be - the control module has failed.
Control module problem
A failure of the control module of a washing machine is a rather serious malfunction that requires the intervention of a good specialist. It doesn’t matter whether you repair the microcircuit or change it, all this must be done by a master. If, after checking all the above details, you are convinced that this is definitely a control board, prepare your money and call a technician. Self-repair of the control microcircuit is possible only as a last resort if you have skills in working with electronics .
The probability of success in this case is small, but in this case we will not focus special attention on this issue.
If you are interested in the question of whether it is possible to repair the control board yourself, read the publication on the topic Is it worth repairing electronic modules yourself? Our advice on this matter is clear - contact a good service center.
