Brandt washing machine error code d07
Brandt washing machines have appeared on the Russian market relatively recently. The French manufacturer began supplying its equipment to us in 2011. This is due to the fact that this model is not as well known as other brands. Although at home it occupies up to 40% of the market.
In Russia, this brand is known mainly to those who have selected a top-loading washing machine. The manufacturer has the majority of such machines, although there are also representatives with front-loading laundry. The equipment produced in France is distinguished by high build quality, which means it will last for decades.
Brandt washing machines are equipped with a troubleshooting system. The diagnostic results are displayed. One of the most common problems is error D07 in a Brandt washing machine.
You will find out where to find a description of this error and how to fix it yourself after reading the article.
Deciphering the error code
As a rule, information on deciphering error codes and possible malfunctions can be found in the instructions for household appliances. If for some reason the paper version of the instructions has not been preserved, you can go to the official Brandt website and find the instruction manual there.
In the instruction manual, the manufacturer writes that error D07 is related to the washing machine hatch locking device. Simply put, the door is not closed, or the lock blocking it is broken.
What could have happened?
There are several reasons why an automatic machine cannot fill. The most common ones are a sudden shutdown of the water supply or a closed shut-off valve. The saddest situation is when the semiconductor on the control board fails. Repairing the electronic module will cost the most.
There are also typical problems due to which error D01 appears on Brandt machines in most cases. We are talking about a malfunction of the inlet solenoid valve, water level sensor or pump, or clogging of the inlet mesh filter. Let's figure out how the breakdown of each element can affect the operation of the washing machine.
The list of typical breakdowns can be supplemented with extremely rare failures. So, sometimes a Brandt washing machine issues code 01 due to a loose or damaged wire connecting the tank and the water level sensor. Also, washing may not start due to a malfunction of the UBL - the door does not lock, the “brain” understands that the system is leaky and cancels the program.
Do-it-yourself troubleshooting
When error D07 appears on the display, first try closing the washing machine door tightly again. If the error does not go away, check to see if any object has gotten into the door lock. Perhaps something is preventing it from closing tightly. Clean the hole for the tongue. If the tongue does not fit exactly into the lock hole, use a screwdriver to tighten the hinges.
If these steps do not help, then the problem may be in the motor brushes, or the hatch locking device is broken.
The door locks automatically to prevent the washing machine from opening while washing is in progress. It is its click that housewives hear when the machine starts washing, or some time after the end of the program.
If the UBL breaks down, it is worth calling a specialist so that he can determine that the reason is in the door locking device or the control board. As soon as it is clear where the fault is coming from, it is worth replacing this part.
If you have sorted out the locking devices and everything works, then the problem is in the engine drive. The motor runs on mains power, so first of all we disconnect the plug from the socket. Do not forget about this requirement, it is mandatory to ensure job safety.
If you have little experience in disassembling and assembling washing machines, then it is better to record each step. This will help you assemble the washing machine correctly.
Open the back cover of the washing machine. There are various contacts and wires going to the motor; carefully disconnect them and remove the washing machine motor. The next step is to inspect the brushes. During operation of the machine, the rods most often wear unevenly. Replacement is needed if the handle becomes less than 2 cm long.
In some cases, such operations will be required 2 times a year. Be sure to remember the direction of the brushes and their seating depth. In order not to forget, it’s better to even take a photo. This is necessary in order to insert them correctly in the future. Otherwise, a short circuit may occur.
If during repairs you still need to pull out the motor, then immediately look at the internal manifold. Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a dry cloth; small scratches can be easily removed with fine sandpaper.
After installing the brushes, reassemble the washing machine in the reverse order. After everything is done, you need to check the functionality of the equipment. It is better to use the idle wash mode with a spin cycle or several cycles of the quick wash mode.
Description of the work progress
Do not forget that the motor runs on electricity, so before dismantling it, disconnect the SM from the power supply. Then you need to very carefully disconnect the engine from the tank; to do this, remove all wire contacts.
Important! Remember what you do step by step, or even better, record it in any convenient way. This will help in the future to assemble the car correctly, not to mix up the parts and not miss anything.
Before you start replacing brushes, make sure they need it. Look at the rods. The main problem is that the rods wear out and wear unevenly. The brush must be replaced when the length of the handle is 1.5-2 centimeters. If some elements are almost intact, do not touch them, change only those that are really out of order. Be prepared for the fact that you may need to repair the engine more often than once every six months.
Also take a photo or sketch how the brushes are inserted into the grooves, namely: seating depth, bevel direction, etc. This is important, since if assembled incorrectly, the motor may spark after connecting to the network.
Since you are dismantling the motor to replace the brushes anyway, inspect the internal commutator as well. It happens that dirt settles there, or small scratches appear. These defects must be eliminated. Take a rag or dry brush and brush off the dust; scratches can be easily sanded off with a piece of sandpaper.
Now you can begin installing new parts. The brushes are attached to self-tapping screws. Once again, carefully check that everything is installed correctly. If everything is in order, proceed to reassemble your home assistant using the previously recorded data. Don't forget to put the wiring back in place and attach the motor to the washer tank. Now it's time to test your work in one of the following ways:
Note! For the first 10-12 washes, try not to put heavy, bulky items in the drum, since at first the brushes should get used to each other, “get used” to the place, and only then you can use your Brandt washing machine to the maximum.
Don’t forget to periodically inspect the condition of your motor, clean and lubricate it if necessary, and also carry out minor repairs yourself. After all, it is easier to prevent a breakdown than to fix it, and then error D07 will definitely not bother you anymore.
Interesting:
The most common breakdowns will be discussed below. To eliminate them, it is not always necessary to call a specialist. In some cases, the situation can be corrected on your own. It will be explained in detail what needs to be done for this.
If there is a blockage
Once you are sure that the cause is not clogged, you can move on. Most often, error D 01 appears due to problems with the intake solenoid valve. This device cannot be repaired, therefore, in order to fix the “home assistant”, you will have to replace it with a new one. The procedure for replacing the fill valve is extremely simple. Even a “newbie” can install the element. Once you have purchased the correct components, proceed as follows:
When purchasing components for a Brandt washing machine, be sure to focus on the model and serial number of the machine.
Another reason for the impossibility of starting the cycle and error D01 is problems with the heating element. The heater often burns out due to a thick layer of scale that interferes with the thermal conductivity of the element. To do the repair yourself, you need to:
You can check whether the heating element is working properly using a multimeter.
Having discovered that the heater is out of order, you will have to buy and install a new tubular element. The algorithm is as follows:
If the situation could not be corrected either by cleaning the filters or by replacing the pressure switch, inlet valve or heating element, and the diagnostics of the drain pump and UBL did not reveal any violations, all that remains is to check the control board. It’s not worth delving into the “brain” of a machine without the necessary knowledge and sufficient experience. You can damage the equipment even more. It is better to entrust electronics repair to service center specialists.
Simple problems
First of all, check that there is actually water in the tap. It is possible that there is a short-term shutdown of the central water supply in the house, which is why the equipment is “capricious”, giving error D 01. If there is a supply, look to see if the shut-off valve on the pipe is closed. What to do if the problem is not simple inattention? Immediately check whether the hatch is tightly closed. The automatic machine will not start drawing water if the system is leaky. Press the door against the body, perhaps the lock will work and the unit will start washing.
If you have not identified any external problems, you can proceed to diagnosing the washing machine. The test should be carried out from simple to more complex. First of all, it is better to inspect the inlet filter, inlet hose and inlet valve.
Before starting any repairs, be sure to disconnect the Brandt from the power supply and turn off the water supply valve.
If the machine makes a loud noise while trying to fill, feel the inlet hose. Loosen the clamp and unhook the “sleeve” from the machine, then rinse it under running water. After cleaning the tube, it is necessary to inspect the filter mesh, which becomes clogged with impurities and dirt and stops passing water. You should proceed like this:
It would also be a good idea to check whether the coarse filter installed in the water pipe behind the shut-off valve is dirty. The nozzle is necessary for the primary filtration of water, so a lot of debris and impurities settle there.
You can clean the coarse filter using two wrenches. One needs to hold the joint, and the other needs to unscrew the nut securing the flywheel. Don't forget to place a basin next to it, as water will rush out of the hole when you remove the fasteners. There is no need to pull out the mesh - the powerful flow will deal with the blockage. Once you see that the nozzle is “like new” again, you need to put everything back.
Where to look for the correct decoding?
As mentioned above, looking for a description of the fault code in the instructions or user manual is almost useless. Information can be either true or completely false. But don’t call a technician every time you can’t determine the cause of a breakdown using the code yourself. Then forums on the Internet come to the rescue, where people share their observations. If we are talking about error code D07, then first of all you need to check not the hatch and everything connected with it, as stated in the instructions, but inspect the engine brushes.
Why? The thing is that specifically in Brandt machines, the build quality of the engine and the quality of the brushes themselves suffer. Often after 6-7 months they become unusable. If they really are the problem, buy new ones and replace them. And if not, start diagnosing the door.
Incorrect water heating
Fault codes of this kind are displayed on the display due to a breakdown of the heating element or thermostat. Very rarely, the main control module becomes the cause of errors.
- Warns that water is not being heated. To repair the SMA, you will have to disassemble its body, remove the heating element, and check it with a multimeter. Diagnostics of the control board will not be superfluous.
- Detects a failure of the temperature sensor. What to do if a malfunction of this kind is detected? You'll have to find the thermostat. It is located on the heating element. You need to check its performance with a multimeter and, if necessary, replace the sensor.
To correct failures that occur with the heating element or thermostat, you will need not only some knowledge of the internal structure of the washing machine, but also a special tester.
Review
No matter how reliable household appliances are, with prolonged use some components may break down. Cars have been sold in Russia for more than 20 years, and during this time service workshops have accumulated statistical data on what breakdowns occur most often. In the Russian Federation, budget-level models are in greatest demand. The quality of their parts and assembly is not as high as that of elite models. As a result, breakdowns are much more common.
The list of the most common breakdowns in most cases contains the same items.
If there is a malfunction, an error code is displayed on the electronic display.
It should be taken into account that the main parts of branded cars are reliable and rarely break down.
Often the question of repair first arises no earlier than seven or ten years of operation have passed. Although this indicates the high reliability of these household appliances, a serious problem arises. The fact is that dealers bringing spare parts for Brandt cars from Europe to Russia focus on those products that are the most popular on the market. This does not include parts for washing machines manufactured ten or more years ago.
As for current models, units are imported for which consumers have the highest demand.
Here is a list of such spare parts:
Display or control modules are considered the most accessible on the spare parts market. It should be borne in mind that they are not commercially available for all models of branded washing machines. In some cases, finding them is quite difficult. If you had to face this situation, you will have to order these units directly abroad. However, the price will be relatively high.
You can purchase spare parts not only in Europe, but also by placing an order in China. However, although the price will be slightly lower, the quality will not be as high as the original parts.
If the consumer is faced with the need for repairs, it is necessary first to assess its cost. In some cases it may be too high. It is possible that repairs will cost more than the entire car purchased many years ago.
