Types of malfunctions of ardo washing machines

They can be of the physical type, where the parts are worn out and cannot be replaced. It could also be an electronic fault, such as improper connection or operation of the device.

The owner can handle simple problems on his own. The main thing is to follow the instructions for troubleshooting the machine. Other malfunctions of the Ardo washing machine can only be fixed by a specialist.

Water does not heat up

Most often, the heating element in these washing machines fails. You can determine the problem while washing at 60 degrees. If you put your hand on the glass of the door and the glass is cold, it means the electric heating element has burned out.

You can change the electrical device for heating water yourself. To do this you need:

No water flow after turning on the washing machine

Water may not flow into the washing machine after it is turned on, especially often in Ardo top-loading washing machines. The owner of a horizontal loading device is unlikely to suffer from this breakdown. In the latter case, the maximum that can happen is that he forgot to turn on the supply tap.

The vertical can have two variants of the problem:

Unscrew the inlet hose and remove the filter with pliers. Take it out and clean it with water and a toothbrush. Do the same with hoses if they are equipped with mesh filters. Install everything back in the same sequence.

The water supply limit is exceeded

Another common problem with Ardo washing machines is excess water supply. There can also be two ways to fix it - if the drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sewer pipe, or the electronics may be faulty. The last error can only be corrected by a qualified specialist. An ordinary owner can cope with the first problem.

Instructions for eliminating the increased water supply rate:

Liquid accumulates under the machine

If water collects under the machine, in this case the problem is also divided into two types. In the first case, the owner pours a lot of washing powder. Foam is formed, which seeps out through some holes in the machine, and then turns into water on the floor.

In the second case, water accumulation may be caused by a broken pipe or torn cuff, or poor hose laying. Sometimes the drum itself can leak. In any case, only a specialist will help here.

Drain line clogged

If the drainage path of the washing machine is clogged, water may not drain and remain in the drum. In rare cases, the water level sensor becomes damaged.

The blockage is determined as follows. The washing machine stopped working and the error “No drain” appeared on the display.

First of all, try setting the machine to drain by moving the switch to the desired position. If it doesn’t work, then proceed to troubleshooting the following scheme:

If the problem is not a blockage, then it is better to call a specialist. Since in most cases, solving this problem can lead to the breakdown of an expensive part.

Extraneous noise

Extraneous noise during operation of the washing machine may occur due to improper installation. The washing machine must be leveled. It is advisable that it be on a flat, hard tile surface.

Typically, washing machines are installed in the bathroom or kitchen.

The cause of rattling noise in the drum can be foreign metal objects. They must be removed from pockets when preparing to wash items.

In rare cases, the bearings may be faulty. In order to repair this problem, you need to call a technician.

Malfunction of the electronic control board

If the electronic board does not work or some control buttons are out of order, this means that it is time to replace the electronic module. It is recommended to call a professional to replace it.

Most often, errors are signaled by indicators on the control panel. ardo error codes

In order to determine the error and eliminate it, you need to remove all the laundry from the drum and run it in a 30-degree wash mode.

The following numbers indicate a specific breakdown:

Troubleshooting

If the washing machine does not wash clothes well, then the drum may have been overloaded during washing, or an insufficient amount of detergent was added. It is recommended to put in the amount of powder that is required and review the number of things put in the machine.

If the spin cycle was poor, a low speed may have been selected, or the items may have been unevenly distributed in the drum. The last problem occurs when washing a small number of items. It is necessary to properly distribute things in the drum.

Removing pump blockage

To remove the blockage, you need to open the drain pump cover and unscrew the screw that holds it in place.

Replacing parts

Repairing an Ardo washing machine is not always limited to just cleaning the parts. Sometimes it is necessary to replace failed elements. In addition to the heating element, it is better to have parts replaced by a washing machine repair specialist, since an unqualified person can only harm the unit.

Typical malfunctions of Ardo washing machines and options for eliminating them

Water does not fill into the car

A fairly common problem that is usually quite easily solved with simple actions.

1. It is necessary to check the presence of water in the water supply. It’s trite, but very often the cause of an imaginary problem is such funny things.

2. The inlet hose is squashed or clogged. We check visually for the absence of compression. We unscrew the hose from the washing machine, open the tap and see if the water will come through? Of course, you need to make sure that the water does not flow onto the floor. If the water does not come out, we find and remove the blockage. The hose with the leakage valve will have to be replaced with a new one after the protection is activated.

3. Clean the inlet filter mesh on the back wall of the washing machine. The mesh is quite fine and often becomes clogged with rust or other particles from tap water. The filter can be easily removed using pliers and cleaned thoroughly.

4. You need to make sure that the fill valve is working properly. It is located immediately behind the filter. The valve becomes accessible after removing the top cover of the washing machine. Perhaps the power wires have come loose or frayed. To check its functionality, the valve itself can be removed and connected to the voltage indicated on its body. Must open. If it doesn't work, you'll have to replace the valve with a new one.

5. The problem may be due to a faulty water level sensor. Or in other words, a pressure switch. You can also find it under the top cover. It comes off quite easily. It is held on the washing machine body with screws or latches. We check the integrity of the wires and their connection to the sensor.

A tube fits from below to the pressure switch. It may be clogged. The simplest test for the functionality of the sensor after removing it is to blow into its tube. If you hear a click, the pressure switch is most likely working. Otherwise you will have to replace it with a new one. It is important not to mix up the wires when installing a new one.

Water does not drain

In general, Ardo washing machines are prone to problems associated with various types of blockages. The lack of drainage is precisely what is most often caused by this factor.

Common causes and solutions:

1. Again about the banal - you need to make sure that the sewer pipe is not clogged. Maybe the car simply has nowhere to drain the water. Of course, this is possible for machines with a permanently connected drain.

We also check the drain hose of the washing machine. It should not be bent or twisted. In principle, you can disconnect the hose from the sewer and check whether water comes out of it when draining? If it comes out, we clean the sewer. If not, check the hose for blockages. Problem still exists? Let's look further.

2. The drain filter is clogged. A simple, but most common reason for the lack of drainage. The filter is located at the bottom of the washing machine under the door or decorative panel. It is a screw plug screwed into the machine body using a standard right-hand thread.

Accordingly, the filter is unscrewed counterclockwise. Don’t forget to place a tray under the washing machine to collect any leaking water. After removal, the filter is cleaned of contaminants. You will need to remove excess in the place where the filter was installed. Next, reverse the process and check the drain. Most often it helps.

3. The drain pump is blocked or faulty. A common problem with Ardo washing machines is the pump blocking due to foreign objects getting into it. Various coins, buttons and other objects left in the pockets of clothes being washed, getting inside the drain pump, prevent it from performing its functions.

A symptom of blocking a working pump is that when the drain is turned on, the pump hums and tries to expel water, but cannot. Another option is that the pump has become completely unusable. In any case, it will have to be removed.

In Ardo washing machines, it is very easy to access the drain pump through the bottom of the machine. They have no bottom or are covered with an easily removable plastic strip. It is enough to lay the car on its side and access is open. Before removing, you can check the functionality of the pump with a multimeter.

Next, the clamp of the rubber pipe is loosened and it is separated from the pump. Same procedure for the drain hose. The power cords are disconnected. All that remains is to unscrew the screws that hold the pump in place and remove it. A working pump is disassembled. And foreign objects are removed from it. The faulty one is replaced with a new one.

4. Lack of drainage may be caused by improper operation of the pressure switch. It simply may not send a signal to the control module about the need to drain. We have already discussed what needs to be done with the water level sensor above.

Water does not heat up

One of the most typical troubles specific to Ardo washing machines. They are quite sensitive to the quality of tap water and “do not like” its excessive hardness.

What causes the problem and how to deal with it:

1. The most likely option is that the heating element burned out. The reason is the formation of a large amount of scale due to poor water quality. The process of replacing the heating element itself is not particularly difficult to do on your own. Unscrew the fastenings of the back cover and remove it.

Replacing the pump

When the cause of the malfunction is known, you should decide whether to call a technician or try to fix the malfunction yourself. For example, you can remove the blockage yourself. As a rule, debris collects in the drain filter itself.

To clear the blockage, do the following:

There may be a small foreign object stuck in the drum. Then you will need to completely disassemble the machine. This repair is complex and will cost the owner quite a lot.

In an Ardo machine, the pump is reached through the bottom. On this side there is a plastic strip that can be easily removed, or there is no bottom at all.

To clean the drain hose, you must first completely disconnect it. The first end must be pulled out of the sewer, and the second must be disconnected from the pipe that comes from the pump. After disconnecting, the hose is cleaned with a flexible cable with a small brush at the end. Upon completion of cleaning, the drain hose should be rinsed with water, wiped and replaced in its original place.

Frequent error codes for Ardo washing machines

Modern washing machines are complex devices with fault codes programmed into their microprocessors. They appear on the display whenever a fault occurs.

In the most common cases, Ardo brand SMs display the following error codes: E00, E01, E02, E03, F2, F4, F5, F13, F14.

We fix breakdowns of SM Ardo with our own hands

If the Ardo washing machine showed one of the listed errors, do-it-yourself repair is possible in almost all cases, except the last one. Although, it is still possible to flash an electronic module if you have certain skills and tools.

Removing blockages (E00, E01), replacing the pump (E03, F4) in Ardo machines

Having identified a breakdown, decide immediately - you will call the workshop or repair the SM yourself. Sometimes you really don’t need to pay a repairman, because the problem is easy to fix yourself. If we are talking about a blockage, then you can handle it without outside help.

The main location of blockages is in the drain filter. To clean it, proceed in this order:

Difficulties may arise from the fact that debris often accumulates not only in the filter area, but also in other places in contact with waste dirty water: the drain hose, pump and pipes. To clean them, you need to disassemble the washing machine. If some small object gets stuck in the tank, the machine will also have to be disassembled.

Replacing and cleaning the pump (pump) is a more troublesome procedure, but quite realistic: you just need to be able to handle the tools in order to properly disassemble, and most importantly, assemble the machine.

How to disassemble an Ardo washing machine? You can get to the pump from the bottom (then the car needs to be placed on its side), or by removing the plastic strip. Cleaning the drain pump is shown in detail in this video:

If you decide that to troubleshoot the Ardo washing machine you need to clean the drain hose, proceed as follows:

Electronics repair in Ardo washing machines (F2, F13, F14)

Speaking about replacing the control board, we cannot say that it is too difficult - this is a repair of average complexity. The main problem is that you cannot always be completely sure that the entire module needs to be replaced. Often, to return the SM to working order, you just need to repair the board.

Don’t forget that the module is expensive, sometimes up to 1/3 the cost of a new washing machine. Often, when the board is completely broken, owners of Ardo washing machines decide not to suffer and buy a new SMA.

Repair is so specific that it is not enough to know how to handle a tool; knowledge in the field of electronics will not interfere. The specialist knows 100% better what to do if the module breaks down. Don’t risk an expensive part, find a good craftsman instead.

Important! There were cases when home craftsmen changed the module with their own hands, with disastrous results: after connecting all the sensors and contacts, the new module burned out.

Replacing bearings yourself

We will talk about the most difficult type of repair: replacing bearings and seals. In this case, you need to completely disassemble the machine, take out the drum and, with some difficulty, remove the old bearings. Tools and experience are required.

If you decide to try your luck and remove the bearings yourself and install new ones, this video will help you:

Replacing the heating element (F2) in an Ardo machine with your own hands

If the washing machine has stopped heating the water because the heating element has already exhausted its service life or is overgrown with scale and burnt out, we will replace it.

Buy a new heating element that suits your Ardo washing machine model (A 800, A 600, A 1000 x, AE 833, TL 800 EX and others) and proceed according to this scheme:

As you can see, self-repair is a simple matter if you treat it responsibly. Ardo washing machines are of high quality, and it’s a pity to throw them into a landfill at the first breakdown, thinking that repairs will cost an exorbitant amount. You can save a lot by repairing your washing machine at home yourself.
