Washing machines from manufacturers that we repair

Preparatory work before repairing the Atlant machine

What tool will you need:

screwdrivers: straight, slotted;
keys: socket, wrench 12-19 mm;
chisel, hammer;
WD-40 product;
replaceable bearings, as well as oil seals - buy taking into account the brand and model of SM;
lubricant;
sealant.

Unplug the washing machine. Turn off the water and prepare a container for draining. By unscrewing the inlet hose from the SM body, drain the remaining water, and do the same with the drain filter. It is located behind the hatch, at the bottom of the front panel. Open the hatch and unscrew the filter.

Having moved the washing machine away from the wall so that it is convenient to move, get to work.

Popular breakdowns and malfunctions

Remember that any malfunction of the washing machine indicates a serious problem that needs to be solved. Usually, the longer the owner delays with repairs, the harder it is to restore full functionality later. If the user encounters the following problems, then he should immediately contact the service.

Does not turn on or off;
Sparks are observed during operation;
Does not collect or drain water;
Doesn't squeeze enough;
Damage to the door;
Strong noise level during operation;
Does not pick up powder or conditioner;
Buttons do not function;
Programs do not work correctly.

All malfunctions can have completely different reasons, ranging from software failures to problems with electronics. The technician will be able to accurately identify and eliminate the cause only after a complete diagnosis.

How to call a specialist

A technician will come out for diagnostics and repairs upon prior request. You can make a call by phone or through the form on the website. Provide the service manager with the following information:

Make and model of the washing machine (see the instructions on the body).
What happened, when, after what, the main symptoms of the breakdown (needed to select tools and components before leaving).
Optimal time for repairs.
Contact details.

Household appliances, including the washing machine, sometimes break down. Wear-out of spare parts, sudden failure and other reasons force you to search for a service that will repair the equipment at an affordable price and with a guarantee of quality.

Fault codes for Atlant washing machines

There are problems that are most common in Belarusian washing machines. The breakdown can be expressed as an error code (door, none, sel, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F12, F13, F14). Judging by user reviews, the most common ones are:

Door - the washing machine door (SM) is not blocked. The cause may be a broken lock or locking device.
F2 - no water heating. The point is incorrect readings of the temperature sensor or combustion of the heating element.
F4 - water drains from the tank very slowly or does not drain at all. It is worth checking the pump and the hoses supplying it.
F5 - water does not enter the system. Diagnostics of the filler path is required.

All fault codes are listed in the operating instructions. Why does equipment break down? Here are the main reasons:

Poor water quality.
Items left in pockets that fall into the drain and damage parts.
Poor quality powder or excess of it.

Natural wear and tear.

As you can see, violation of operating rules is not the last place on the list. If you often overload the drum with laundry or wash items with small decor without a bag, this may lead to breakage of one of the units.

How to clean?

The latest models of Atlant washing machines are equipped with a drum self-cleaning function. To start the process you need to do the following:

empty the drum - there should be no things in it during cleaning;
close the hatch and turn on the device;
press the button labeled “Self-cleaning”;
wait for the cycle to complete.

The average duration of cleaning is 1 hour 30 minutes. If the device is not equipped with such an option, then the drum is cleaned using folk remedies.

You can get rid of salt deposits using citric acid. To do this, 3 bags of lemon are poured into the powder compartment, select the “Cotton” program with a water temperature of 90 degrees. Start the wash cycle.

Cleaning should be carried out at least once every 6 months . This will avoid the appearance of unpleasant odors and prevent premature wear of parts.

Possible faults

If a destruction process has started inside the drum or its components, this will not go unnoticed. Problems manifest themselves in different ways: the drum may stop spinning, start knocking or humming when rotating, and more. Knowing these signs, you can accurately determine the breakdown.

Doesn't spin

If the drum does not rotate when the streaking mode is turned on, you need to look for the reasons and eliminate them:

There was a power surge that caused the control board to malfunction. This can be corrected by rebooting the device.
The drum is overloaded. You can cope with the problem if you lose excess weight.
Drum axis imbalance. This happens when washing large items that clump together. To cope with the problem, you need to straighten the clothes and then continue washing.
The belt is broken or slipping. It is necessary to remove the back wall of the cover and assess the situation.
The motor brushes are worn out, or the motor itself is broken. Inspection, diagnostics and repair of faulty components are required.
The drum is jammed due to a foreign object getting inside. Most often these are bra underwires or debris from pockets. In such a situation, you will have to disassemble the washing machine to remove the drum.
The bearing assembly is worn out. It needs to be replaced.
The crosspiece is broken or bent. The part cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
The tachometer that controls the rotation speed of the drum has failed.
The contacts leading to the control board have broken.

If the machine stops suddenly and does not respond to any command, most likely the reason lies in the failure of the control module. To repair it, you will need skill with a blowtorch, and sometimes programming skills.

Makes noise and knocking noise when spinning

Knocks and extraneous noises during spin cycles appear when the drum is overloaded. There is no need to wait until the wash is completed. It is necessary to forcefully turn off the device, remove the laundry and put it back into operation.

If the knocking stops, the reason really comes down to overweight. Such situations cannot be allowed in the future, as they lead to rapid wear of parts.

Other reasons why the drum knocks and makes noise during the spin cycle:

bearings and oil seal are worn out;
a foreign object has entered the drum;
the counterweight fastenings have become loose;
the shock absorbers fixing the tank inside the body have weakened;
the drum is unbalanced, which often occurs due to weak shaft fastening.

Normally, the machine works quietly. If, in addition to knocking and noise, the quality of spinning things has deteriorated, then you should look for the cause in a faulty engine.

Creaks

If the squeak resembles metal friction, then the most likely cause is deteriorating bearings. It will not be possible to find out without disassembling the washing machine.

An indirect sign of bearing wear is rusty smudges on the tank . A creaking noise during rotation occurs when the crosspiece is broken or deformed.

This problem is encountered by users who regularly overload the drum. The most common cause of squeaking is small parts getting into the space between the tank and the drum: coins, pins, buttons and more. You can fix the problem by disassembling the washing machine. You can't do it without removing the tank.

Sometimes foreign objects or small things get caught in the rubber seal, causing a squeaking noise to be heard when the drum rotates. Correcting the situation is not difficult; no repairs are required. It is enough to drain the water, open the hatch and remove the foreign object.

Water stagnates

Stagnation of water in the drum can be caused by the following reasons:

The drain hose is kinked. It’s not difficult to detect, just inspect it and straighten it out.
The drainage system is clogged. To clean the pump, you need to remove the bottom trim panel, remove the filter and clean it.
The pump is broken. Pump repair involves disassembling the washing machine. The easiest way to access it is to turn the machine over on its left side. If the motor has burned out or the impeller blades are jammed, you can solve the problem by replacing the part. In other cases, the pump is changed.
The pressure switch (water level sensor) has failed or its tube is clogged. The blockage is removed or the pressure switch is changed.

Dangles

Normally, minimal drum play is acceptable. If it moves from side to side, when rotating it touches the glass of the hatch or the body, rubs against the cuff and makes strange sounds, diagnostics is required.

As practice shows, excess play is associated with stretching of shock absorbers. When the drum is overloaded, they experience significant loads, which is why they lose their original shape. The problem is solved by replacing them.
