Ardo WD1000: Instructions and manual in Russian

Don’t throw pissing rags, as a radio amateur, I fixed it twice...

Problem No. 1 - the machine was knocked out during washing, when turned on, all the lamps on the display were on, there was no response to the control.

As the autopsy showed, the Minisel 800 control module failed: - the diode bridge was broken - the track leading to the power winding of the motor was burnt out - the motor control triac was broken. I replaced the elements, restored the track, and after a couple of washes a new problem arose:

Problem No. 2 - after a couple of successful washes, the drum began to spin jerkily (the light was flashing, the belt was eating up, as a result the triac died again and the machine again became a “brick”)

As the autopsy showed, the Minisel 800 control module failed again: - the motor control triac was broken. Replaced the triac with a higher quality analogue from ST with a current reserve (16A instead of 12A)

PS: Taking this opportunity as a preventative measure: - treated the belt with a drive belt tensioner conditioner from Hi-Gear (I have positive experience) - cleaned the heater from scale (in citric acid until factory clean)

The circuit on the Internet turned out to be a button accordion, judging by it - the triac switches the short circuit (phase to ground), and not the motor.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

WASH DRYER

A washer dryer is an electrical household appliance in which, in a user-selected mode, you can wash and dry any type of fabric, with the exception of down jackets and quilts.

The outer side of the structure is made of metal panels, subjected to special anti-corrosion treatment and coated with paint (9 layers) to give the machine a pleasant aesthetic appearance.

The motor and all moving parts of the device are designed in such a way as to guarantee a minimum noise level during its operation.

The wide drum is made of stainless steel, firmly fixed to the structure and has no sharp parts. This ensures good washing quality and durability of items.

The program panel clearly shows all types of washing and drying. The wide-opening door makes it easy to load and unload things from the car.

The excellent stability of the washing machine is the result of long-term research carried out to find the balance of masses in motion.

Drying things is done quickly and easily through the use of special heat regeneration and recycling systems, which provide significant energy savings.

The device complies with safety standards EN 60335 for the operation of electrical household appliances and standards for protection against radiotelephone interference EEC 87/308 dated 02.06.87.

NOTES AND TIPS FOR THE USER

Ardo fault codes

Error codes will help determine the location of the problem: E00/E01, E02, E03, F2, F4, F5, F6/F9/F12, F8, F13/F14. The control board diagnoses the system in the event of a breakdown and displays a set of symbols on the display. Each one points to a different problem. Error explanations can be found in the operating instructions and our article.

Fault code	What does it mean	How to fix it yourself
E00/E01	Water does not drain from the tank	Remove the blockage in the drainage tract (filter, pipe). Diagnose the pump
E02	Problems with spinning and rinsing	The water drains by itself. Check the location of the hose. It should be at a distance of 40 cm from the floor. If necessary, straighten the hose and remove the blockage
E03	3 minutes have passed, water does not leave the tank	Inspect the contacts from the electronic board to the pump. Diagnostics of the board in the pump control area
F2	Incorrect heating operation	Check what:

Serviceability of the heating element and its wiring.
Temperature sensor performance

Remove debris from the drain filter, hose, and pipe.
Replace a broken pump

Pressostat.

Installing a new module

Typical faults

Ardo washing machines are divided into two main categories based on loading type:

Vertical (Ardo TLN 85 SW, T80X, TLN 106 SA).
Frontal (Ardo SE 810, FLN 126 LW, A 1033, WDO 1485 L).

The Ardo top-loading washing machine has a compact body that easily occupies the space between the bathtub and sink. But it doesn't come without its drawbacks.

Here's what users are complaining about:

Machines with a long service life (more than 5 years) spontaneously open the drum doors. This leads to jamming and tearing of the valves.
The top cover of the drum is often subject to corrosion because the water supply is carried out through the top.

Close the doors more tightly. Clean the latch from debris and adhering powder.
Do not overload the tank with laundry.
Observe the dosage of detergent to prevent foaming.
Wipe the drum with a dry cloth after washing to avoid corrosion.

Installing and leveling the washing machine

Once you have chosen a suitable location for the machine, level it using the adjustable feet [Fig. 3]. Pay particular attention to the positioning of the machine, its leveling and the tightness of the locknuts. If the washing machine is not leveled correctly, the machine will be unstable and make noise during operation, which can subsequently lead to damage.

If the machine is installed on a rug, you should check that air circulates freely between it and the floor.

It is not recommended to install the washing machine in rooms where the temperature may drop below 0

Connection to water supply

➘

The water pressure in the water supply network must be within 0.05 1.00 mPa (0.5 10 bar.)

➘

Before connecting the machine, open the tap and let the water flow to clear the pipes of impurities such as sand and rust (this operation is especially important when the washing machine has not been used for a long time, or when it is connected to a curved water supply pipe).

➘

The inlet hose must be connected to the cold water tap with a 3/4” threaded fitting.

➘

Place the filter mat included with the machine between the tap and the pipe, and then tighten the connection tightly [Fig. 4].

➘

Place the gasket on the other end of the inlet hose and screw it to the washing machine [Fig. 5].

➘

During washing, the water supply tap must be fully open.

➘

The water drain pipe should be at a height of 60 to 90 cm [Fig. 6].

➘

If water is drained directly into the sewer, the free edge of the washing machine pipe must be inserted into a sewer pipe with an internal diameter of at least 40 mm.

➘

Make sure that the drain pipe of the machine is not tightly inserted into the sewer pipe so that the siphon does not fill with air and, accordingly, there is no overflow of water.

➘

If water is drained into a sink or somewhere else, the free end of the pipe must be secured at the point where it bends with a special holder included with the machine. Thus, place the pipe on the edge of the sink and secure the holder so that the pipe does not fall [Fig. 7]. The sink drainage channel must be clean so that water can flow through it freely.

OPERATING THE WASHING MACHINE

Attention: before starting the first wash, you should perform a short wash cycle without loading laundry. This makes it possible to check the operation of the washing machine and clean the drum. Precautions before starting washing:

Check that the connection to the water supply network is correct: the water supply tap must be open and the drain hose must be in the appropriate position (see the “Installation” section and Figures 4-7). Check that the programmer knob is in the stop position. With dry hands, insert the plug into the outlet. Sort your laundry by fabric type (check the symbols on the labels). Before loading clothes into the drum, make sure that: the pockets of the clothes are empty, torn parts are sewn up, zippers are closed, belts, buckles and hooks are fastened, and stains are previously removed.

Performing a wash cycle: (sequence of operations that must be performed before setting the selected cycle and turning on the machine) 1.

Open the hatch door.

Load the laundry into the drum and close the hatch door. Attention: Do not overload the washing machine. It is not recommended to wash items that absorb large amounts of water, such as carpets.

Pour low-foaming washing powder for automatic washing machines into the appropriate compartments and add conditioner (see section “Using detergents”).

Close the detergent drawer. Attention: To avoid water leakage, do not remove the detergent drawer while the machine is running.

Select the desired program and temperature using the appropriate knobs. ATTENTION!!! Do not rotate the programmer knob counterclockwise. If you accidentally turn the knob past the mark for the selected washing program, it cannot be turned back. Turn the programmer knob further clockwise to the desired position.

To set the required functions, press the corresponding buttons.

To turn on the machine, pull the programmer handle towards you or press the on/off button (if provided in this modification), after which the control light should light up.

At the end of the washing program, the machine stops at one of the STOP/STOP programmer marks: 1.

Turn off the machine by pressing the programmer knob or on/off button (if provided).

Remove the laundry from the machine.

With dry hands, remove the plug from the outlet.

Close the water supply tap.

What breaks most often according to statistics:

30% - clogged drainage path, wear and breakdown of the pump:

Open the loading hatch and identify the machine model on the sticker.

Unscrew the drain filter from the front bottom and clean it.

We change the pump, which is located at the bottom right on the back side.

Loosen the clamp on the drain pump pipe.

We check the pump, clean it, and if it malfunctions, replace it.

Over time, mechanical wear appears on the shaft. The impeller dangles and does not pump out water well.

20% malfunction of the electronic control board:

MINISEL board:

Ardo models FL1000,FL1202,FLS81S,A800XEL, AE810, AE800X, SE810, FLS81S, AED1000X,TL1000EX, TL1010E ANNA610, ANNA 600X, A410, A610, A500, A1000.

We look at the power source and the level of constant voltages (5 and 12 V) at its outputs. If there is no voltage at the output of the IP, check the corresponding elements - power switch, power filter, power transformer T1, rectifier (D11-D14), microcircuit U1.

module :

Models A800, A804, A810, A814, WD800X, S1000X, T80, T800, TL800X, TL804, etc.

Malfunctions in the DMPU module

By power module:

break in resistance R51 (A, B); stabilizer U3; Zener diode D24 (short circuit); varistor VDR5 is broken.

For engine control:

relay K1, K2; rsimistor TR2. Diodes D1-D6, D9-10, D15, D23.

Legacy DMPA module:

They are used in machines that include an asynchronous drive motor and a mechanical command device.

Models A1000PL, A1000XCZ, A1000XPL, WD1000PL, TL1000X, etc.

The wear of the heating element increases with “hard” water.

Overgrown with scale (scabs), it transfers heat poorly and burns out.

You need to pull out the elastic band and not the heating element. Since when pulling out the heating element you can wedge the elastic band.?

This is important to avoid further leakage under the seal.

10% wear on the commutator motor brushes, loose contacts, broken drive belt

Remove the belt, unscrew the screws and remove the engine. There are two brushes on the engine, each secured with two screws. Unscrew the screws and remove the brushes.

Inspect the motor power supply terminal from the board and the ground wire.

Very often the contacts oxidize due to humidity and the machine gives an error because of this.

Each brush is installed in a brush holder. It can be disassembled into two halves. Pay attention to how much the brush protrudes.

This size should be at least 1 cm. The optimal option is 1.5 cm. After that, we assemble everything and install it in place.

10% - extraneous noise (bearings, shock absorbers, foreign objects)

Having jammed the pulley, unscrew the upper shaft clamping nut counterclockwise.

If the oil seal is not filled with specialized lubricant and the crosspiece bushing is not lubricated with it during assembly, the oil seal will wear out very quickly, regardless of its quality, this has been proven in practice.

There is no need to save money and improvise with lithol, grease and other lubricants; it is better to purchase specialized lubricants that are used to lubricate oil seals.

Standard sizes of bearings and seals Ardo:

This applies to modern technology - starting from 2000 (models AE800X, AED1000X, TL1ОООEX).

Thanks to it, you can perform diagnostics (DMPU control module):

Close the hatch (without laundry). Set the program selection to 30°C until it clicks. Temperature regulator to 0°C. Turn it on. The drum rotates at 250 rpm. To check the buttons for half load, extra rinse and others, press them. The spin speed increases from 250 to the maximum provided for in this model. If there are no additional functions, press the spin button.

When faults are detected, the indicators will flash.

DRYING LAUNDRY

Washing and drying ATTENTION!!! For washing powders and liquid detergents of some

When purchasing brands, special plastic containers are included that are placed directly into the drum of the washing machine. These containers are only used for washing programs and should not be placed in the drum when using the drying cycle.

Press the half load button.

Do not use the “stop with water in the tank” and “turn off the centrifuge” buttons.

Set the drying time using the drying time selector knob.

Select the washing program and temperature.

Set the washing program and temperature.

Turn on the machine by pulling the programmer handle towards you, or, if the machine has an ON/OFF button, press it (the corresponding indicator light will light up).

At the end of the washing program, the machine will stop at one of the STOP marks on the programmer.

When drying is complete, the drying time selection knob will stop at zero.

Turn off the machine by pressing the programmer knob, or, if there is an ON/OFF button, press it (the corresponding indicator light will go out).

10. Take out the laundry. 11. With dry hands, remove the plug from the outlet. 12. Close the water tap.

Drying only ATTENTION!!! Do not dry items that have previously been

treated with solvents or gasoline-based substances as these substances may cause an explosion. The drying mode does not work when setting the wool washing program. If you use laundry detergent or liquid detergent containers during washing, remove them from the drum before drying. Then be careful not to dry out the laundry. It is better to leave it slightly damp, since when it dries, the linen becomes very wrinkled and then difficult to iron. The following items should not be dried in the machine: sleeping bags, feather beds, pillows and large blankets, as by expanding during the drying process they prevent air from entering the machine. The drying mode can only be set when the programmer knob is in the STOP position.

Load the machine with laundry and close the hatch door correctly. ATTENTION!!! For best results, do not exceed the following load rates: 2.5 kg for durable fabrics (2 kg for extra large or extra small items); 1.5 kg for mixed or synthetic fabrics. If the above loading standards are observed, the laundry will rotate freely in the drum, will not wrinkle, and the result will be excellent.
