Error codes and test mode for Vestel washing machines

When faced with any malfunction, you must first check whether the child lock is turned off, then reset the washing machine and conduct an auto test to find out if any malfunctions occur. If no malfunctions occur, this means that the machine is working correctly. In order to make sure that the machine is working properly, it is advisable to perform the above steps again. If there is no grounding in the client's home, the manufacturer is not responsible for failed electronic components.

Malfunctions of Vestel washing machines

Washing machines of the Turkish brand Vestel are gradually conquering Russian consumers.
Despite the fact that the brand produces a small range of models, they still deserve attention and are actively selling out. Repair of Vestel washing machines is rarely required.

However, the craftsmen have already developed good practice in repairing machines of this brand and do not hide useful information from those who want to carry out repairs themselves.

Below we will look at typical malfunctions, causes of breakdowns, error codes and repair of some breakdowns at home.

Washing does not start in the Vestel machine

When this failure occurs, in 4 out of 10 cases the UBL sensor (hatch locking device) breaks down. Because of this, the controller believes that the hatch is open and does not allow the wash to start.

There may not be any fault codes on the display.

What's the result? The machine door is locked, you press “START”, but the process doesn’t even think about starting. Where to start looking for the causes of the breakdown and how to repair a Vestel washing machine with your own hands, we will consider below:

• Turn off the machine for 10-15 seconds.
• Turn it on.
• If you still have the problem, turn off and turn on the SMA again.
• Nothing changed? Then do things differently.

What to do next:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
2. Open the hatch cover.
3. Arm yourself with a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the 2 bolts holding the UBL.
4. Carefully remove the UBL.

Attention! The sensor wiring is connected to the locking mechanism - do not tear off the wires.

1. Take a regular tester and measure the resistance at the contacts of the UBL sensor.
2. If the thermistor is working properly, then the indicator will be at around 900 Ohms.
3. In case of a breakdown, you will see 0-1 on the tester display.

So you have found the reason why the wash does not start. Your task is to replace the UBL, then all processes at SMA Vestel will improve.

If you determine that the hatch locking mechanism is not broken, then you need to look for the problem in the electrics - for this you will need the electrical circuit of the Vestel washing machine. Each model has its own diagram - you need to look for it in the manual or on the manufacturer’s website.

If there is no circuit diagram, proceed based on elementary logic: disassemble the control panel and ring the microcircuit.

Experienced specialists do not recommend carrying out such work on their own - they require certain knowledge.

First steps

If you just bought Vestel SM, you cannot immediately turn on and start washing with laundry. Before you begin full operation of the machine, you must follow a certain “ritual”. We are talking about the following actions:

• carefully study the attached factory instructions;
• let the machine sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours;
• remove branded stickers, fasteners, foam protection;
• remove the transportation bolts (they are necessary when transporting equipment, but must be removed before starting the system);
• connect Vestel to communications (water supply, electricity and sewerage);
• adjust the position of the housing according to the building level.

Damage to the machine after starting the system with transportation bolts is not covered by warranty - they are eliminated at the user's expense!

The washing machine, prepared to be turned on, can be put into operation. But without laundry - the first start should be empty, but with powder or cleaner. We fill the powder receptacle, close the hatch door and turn on any high-temperature mode. This way the machine will be checked for serviceability and cleared of factory grease. It is important to control the first start of the machine. It is necessary to check whether the engine is making too much noise and whether there are any problems with draining or taking in water. Factory defects should appear immediately, so you should carefully observe the washer. If everything is in order, then you can turn on a full wash.

Which parts break more often?

Any automatic machine can fail. Each brand has its own weak points, which are the first to be affected by a breakdown. Turkish SMAs are no exception. Their problems are:

• The washing program does not start. The control panel functions normally, the machine itself turns on, a mode is selected, but the start button does not respond to pressing.

• The equipment freezes at the initial stage of washing. The user selects a mode, starts it, but after a while the machine stalls and does not respond to presses. The screen may display error code E07.

• Powder and rinse aid remain in the detergent drawer. This problem often worries owners of Vestel SM. This is not due to water or blockages, but to the specific design of the unit.

This short list cannot be called exhaustive - cars break down for other reasons. Our other articles on replacing bearings, tachogenerator, pressure switch, flashing control board firmware, etc. are devoted to troubleshooting such problems. Below we will consider only failures characteristic of Vestela.

Common faults

Like all electrical devices, from time to time devices break down, break down, and stop working. Most often, users encounter the following troubles:

1. failure of the process launcher. The device is turned on, the keys on the operating panel are in working condition, but nothing further happens. The malfunction can be resolved independently by rebooting the device;
2. improper collection of washing powder and fragrance. This breakdown occurs most often in devices. On the water supply hose, craftsmen install a new valve directly into the cuvette with detergents. If desired, owners can carry out such repairs on their own;
3. The device freezes immediately after starting the wash. Error code E07 appears on the monitor. You can try rebooting the device. If this does not help, the drum bearing needs to be replaced.

Almost all washing machines are united by several factors - dimensions 85x60 cm and front loading of items. Only the depth of the hatch will be different - 42 cm (in narrow models), or 37 (narrow models). In the latter case, the maximum load weight is 3.5 kg, while other configurations accommodate 5 kg and 6 kg of laundry. Water consumption per wash is from 30 to 47 liters.

Washing machines Vestel BWM 3260

Its hatch depth is 37 cm. A maximum of 3.5 kg of laundry can be loaded. It does not allow you to select the spin speed, and there is no soaking system.

There is no option to select the spin speed. There is no system for soaking clothes here either. But it is practically the cheapest.

As you understand, in this case the main thing is really the price. Small shortcomings should not be scary if your wallet is empty. For its price the machine is really good.

How to use Vestel equipment

Learning to use a washing machine is incredibly easy. Any configuration includes a Russian-language instruction manual. It also contains information on the selection of washing powders and conditioners. In general, to wash clothes, a person needs to do the following:

1. first, sort the laundry by color in order to wash the clothes separately from each other;
2. Sort laundry by fabric weight. Delicates are placed in the washing container;
3. turn on the washing machine;
4. select the appropriate washing mode;
5. set the optimal temperature;
6. add powder and fabric softener;
7. place the laundry in the inside of the drum;
8. Press the wash button to start the wash.

Some washing machines require setting the duration of the session. Most of them set this indicator automatically. In the first case, 1 hour or 1.5 is usually selected, depending on the required washing mode and the level of contamination. As for the conditioner, you can add it at the time of rinsing already washed clothes.

BWM – Bora

Vestel's simple series includes 4 models. The Vestel design is made in a minimalist style, and at first glance it may seem too simple. The fact that this is an economy class machine is immediately clear, since the manufacturer has cut down the modes as much as possible. There is no display in any Bora series washing machine.

There are a total of 23 programmed functions. All of them are designed for high-quality washing of different fabric structures. For items made from wool, there is a separate hand wash option. The only thing that upsets most users of this model is that the device does not have a timer. This is especially inconvenient for those who are used to using the washing machine at night. A similar situation is with the temperature regime, since Vestel owners cannot control it at their own discretion.

WMO

Belongs to the second series of the manufacturer Vestel. A total of four narrow versions were created. An additional switch is mounted here to regulate the rotation speed of the drum. Built-in additional rinse option. It is mainly used when there is a significant amount of dirt. To do this, pour a sufficient amount of washing powder into the compartment and select the intensive mode.

The main distinguishing feature of the Vestel line of washing machines is the built-in display with an LED screen. It reports the remaining time, the selected temperature indicator, error codes when breakdowns occur, the key to close the hatch, and the washing steps. There is a timer for pausing. Its duration ranges from one hour to 23 hours. There is no ironing option here.

The drum rotation speed reaches 600 rpm, with spin class E. The latter is convenient only for those who like to dry clothes on the street, therefore, residents in rural areas or private cottages.

One of the pleasant moments, which fully justifies the model’s configuration, is its cost, since such a washing machine can be purchased even for 6 thousand rubles.

General characteristics of Vestel laundry machines

The washing machine's functions protect fabrics without changing their structure. If the drum is overloaded, then the machine will automatically activate an additional rinse, since the standard amount of water in this case is not enough.

Vestel machine freezes when starting the wash

Knowing how to disassemble a Vestel washing machine may be necessary if the washing machine begins to freeze after starting the wash. As a rule, this happens either in the first minutes of washing, or at the very end.

In this case, it often happens that the machine does not completely “hang” - the control panel may work, the indicators may light or flash, and the washing mode code may be displayed on the display.

If the display shows fault code E07, proceed as follows:

• Unplug the washing machine: remove the plug from the socket for half a minute.
• Insert the plug into the mains and start the wash. If the problem does not occur again, the board is rebooted and the error is resolved.
• If the problem persists, then turn off the machine and check whether it is installed correctly - to do this, arm yourself with a building level. If the floor is crooked and the legs are not adjusted, this may cause a problem.
• The program may freeze due to a broken UBL. Press the hatch firmly with your knee - if the action helps, this does not mean that you will have to do this every time. This means that the problem is in the locking device and it needs to be changed as described in the previous section.

Important! You can recognize the UBL problem by constant jamming of the hatch when opening after washing.

It’s much worse if the machine keeps freezing, and the E07 code is constantly on the display. If everything goes exactly according to this scenario, then the problem is in the electronic controller (module), and it is better to call a technician to solve problems with it.

Believe me, it is better not to try to repair the control board yourself - this is complex electronics, and reprogramming or repairing it requires skills, tools and knowledge. If something goes wrong and you damage the board, the repair will cost a pretty penny.

Water consumption per one cycle of operation

The amount of fluid used may vary from machine to machine. This is influenced by the capacity of the tank and the availability of programs that the washing equipment has. The average figure for a standard machine with a drum loading volume of seven kilograms requires up to sixty liters of water. Standards for each type of equipment are usually contained in the specific instructions for the model.

Washing machines that have a laundry weighing function can be guided by the actual weight of the laundry. When washing, the equipment will weigh the items and fill the drum with liquid by weight.

Verified information shows that for linen with average soiling intensity when machine washed, one tablespoon is required, this is equivalent to 25 g of powder. When washing four kilograms of dry clothes, you need to add one hundred grams of product.
