Why won't my Whirlpool washing machine turn on and how can I turn it on?

Things are loaded, the machine is plugged in, but nothing happens. This can happen to any brand of home appliance, and Whirlpool is no exception.

You should not immediately call the service center or go to the store with a complaint. It is possible that the machine does not turn on due to a breakdown.

Why the Whirlpool washing machine does not turn on and how to turn it on, read the article.

Removing the tank

In a washing machine with vertical loading of laundry, the drum is also removed in a special way. To get to it, you need to place the washer on the bottom and remove the top cover

If everyone can handle the first procedure, then for the second procedure it is important to read the detailed instructions

1. Take a quarter-inch wrench and unscrew the screws on the back that hold the cables and the protective casing.
2. We remove the protection.
3. We screw together the clamps through which the upper part is attached to the body.
4. Slide the top cover forward until you hear a click, indicating that the latches have been released.
5. We lift the part, making sure that the protrusions of the back wall fall into special grooves on the cover.
6. We hook the retaining chain into the holders on the body and lid.
7. We release the latter back and make sure that it is stable.

Now we proceed to the direct removal of the inner drum. Use a flat-head screwdriver to press the tabs and remove the lid from the tank. Next, unhook the detergent dispenser and use a 7/16 head to unscrew the fasteners on the stirrer. Next up is the tank nut, which, after rotating clockwise and tapping with a hammer, is loosened and removed. If the task is to repair the outer part of the drum, we move on:

find the drive shaft; loosen the fixation and release the shaft from the drive unit; unscrew the fasteners on the pump cover and remove it; remove the previously attached chain to hold the top cover; close the lid of the machine tightly; return one or two screws on the rear panel to their original position; carefully lower the machine onto the “back”; open the drain pump cover; unhook the wire from the holding clip; disconnect the pump hose; release the drain pump from the retaining screws and remove; alternately unhook the connectors from the capacitor, drive, electric motor and gearbox; remove the gearbox; free the base of the tank from the wiring harness.

We repeat the procedure again with opening the top cover: set the washer to its original position, loosen the rear screw and return to the internal device. Here we remove from the tank all the hoses fixed on it (air pressure sensor tube, harness with wires), disconnect the hangers and ball joints. All that remains is to apply some effort and pull out the outer tank.

Having practiced removing and disconnecting the pump, pressure switch and all levels of the tank, it is easy to understand the principle of disassembling the other internal parts of the vertical washing machine from Whirlpool. It is only recommended to record all actions taken with notes or photographs so as not to get confused during reassembly. In addition to accuracy and consistency, you must also remember about safety - then repairing your washing machine yourself will not cause difficulties.

Design features of Whirlpool washing machines

Structurally, Whirlpool washing machines are not too different from similar equipment produced by other well-known brands. The US manufacturer offers two types of washing machines:

• front loading;
• with vertical loading.

Thanks to this, the user has the opportunity to find a convenient solution that will best satisfy his needs. As a rule, it is possible to understand some technical features of a particular model only if you have drawings, and then only in the context of the location of certain elements or parts inside the device.

Prevention of the Whirlpool washing machine

In order for any equipment to serve for a long time, it requires proper care. It is much easier and cheaper to determine the nature of the danger in time and take measures to prevent breakdown than to repair an already broken device. In order to understand whether prevention should be carried out, you need to examine the heating element.

The heating element is located under the tank, either in the center or slightly to the side if the loading principle is vertical. You can examine it by first swinging the drum and shining a flashlight through its holes.

Due to calcium and salts contained in the water used, scale accumulates on machine parts. In addition to it, dirt and rust also collect. Only radical measures can help the device work without breakdowns.

Scale can be dealt with in several ways. They are divided into:

• Physical
• Chemical
• Technological

A physical way to combat scale involves the use of filters and converters. They are installed either in the machine hose or in the drainage system.

There are two options:

• Use of mechanical cleaning filters. They have replaceable filters in which rust, dirt and sand settle.
• Magnetic softener - its purpose is to remove magnesium and calcium from water.
  This is achieved with the help of magnets, which make the appearance of calcite impossible by splitting the molecules into ions. This is also useful because, thus, after some time, not a trace of scale will remain on all parts of the machine. Such products are quite expensive, but the service life of washing machines, according to the manufacturer, is extended to 50 years!

It is especially recommended to install softeners when using modern models, such as Whirlpool Awg 237, 263, 6516, 217, 218. The components and parts of these models are quite sensitive to water hardness.

The chemical method consists of putting a special acid-containing product into the machine - it removes scale. In this case, washing occurs, but without loading things. The chemical reaction that occurs when water is heated during the washing process cleans both the tank and the heating element from scale.

Many people know citric acid, sold in grocery stores. So, if you pour it into the powder compartment and turn on the washing mode at a temperature of 90 degrees, then all that remains is to clean the filter, and there will be no trace of scale left.

In order for the machine to work for a long time and without problems, this procedure should be carried out at least once a year. The chemical method of cleaning the machine also has disadvantages. An overdose is dangerous, as the rubber elements of the device may become unusable. And fumes from the use of acid-containing products worsen the air in the apartment.

Old clothes should not be washed in a machine often, because in this case, the water becomes clogged with small particles, which will definitely not be useful.

The following measures can extend the life of the machine:

• Regular filter cleaning
• Installation of water softening units
• Systematic ventilation of the washing drum

If you do not clean the filters, an unpleasant odor will soon appear, which will not be so easy to get rid of. Putrefactive and mold bacteria will appear. Cleaning the filter is not difficult and does not take much time. It can be easily unscrewed and washed in running water.

Water softeners are installed in the water supply system. Also, it is recommended to install a special flask containing salt between the inlet tap and the machine. Special salt is added there once a month, and preferably constantly, from the first days of operation of the device.

A smell in the machine can also appear simply from excess dampness. Therefore, it is recommended to wipe the inside of the machine after each wash. The door should always be slightly open to prevent the cause of the smell - dampness. Additionally, experts advise ventilating the device whenever it is not being washed.

Carrying out a set of preventive measures will help prevent future problems with the machine. You can find many articles on the Internet about ways to clean washing machines.

Some troubleshooting tips

Often Whirlpool washing machine errors appear spontaneously, seemingly for no apparent reason, but many of them, in particular those related to poor drain performance, can be the result of careless handling of the device. The occurrence of a number of malfunctions can be prevented; to do this, it is worth using a few tips.

All models of Whirlpool washing machines have a drain filter. This simple device is designed to protect the drainage path from debris, threads, and scraps of fabric. To ensure that drainage errors occur as rarely as possible, you should regularly remove and clean the filter. The frequency of cleaning is indicated in the instructions for each specific model; in any case, the procedure must be performed at least two to three times a year. Caked detergent can clog the ducts inside the machine, causing the program to stop unexpectedly. It's easy to avoid this. You just need to periodically remove the powder tray and rinse it with running water. It is worth inspecting and, if necessary, cleaning the intake filter at least twice a year. This is a mesh located at the entrance to the car. The frequency of cleaning largely depends on the condition of the plumbing and the quality of water in the system. A dirty mesh can cause water to flow slowly into the drum or stop completely. After each wash, when the laundry has already been removed, you should not immediately close the door; you should leave it ajar so that the “insides” of the machine dry out. Washing with hot water helps clean the inside of the machine. It is useful to sometimes run a wash program at 95 degrees with a small amount of detergent added

This will remove dirt accumulated in the drum and pipes. It is important to monitor the condition of the drain hose. This is one of the weakest points of the car

You can accidentally step on it, place a heavy piece of furniture, or bend it too much. Kinks and blockages are a common cause of faulty drainage. The condition of the inlet hose is equally important. The appearance of kinks and cracks is unacceptable; such a hose must be replaced immediately. To avoid leaks during washing, you need to regularly monitor the condition of the hatch cuff. It must be soft, elastic and always intact. To increase the service life of the cuff, it is recommended to wipe it with a damp cloth after washing.

In order for the machine to serve for a long time and have an attractive appearance, its surface must be periodically cleaned. A damp cloth is suitable for this. If serious contamination occurs, you can use cleaning products, but they should not contain abrasive particles, otherwise the panels may be scratched, which will affect the appearance of the device.

The appearance of errors on the washing machine display is not a reason to panic, it is a signal to the owner, a reminder that the device requires care. If you keep the machine clean, periodically clean it and do not allow water to stagnate inside, errors will rarely occur, and the machine will last a long time.

Failure of the control module (electronic controller) – from 2500 rubles*

The control module is the “brain” of the washing machine. It is responsible for the operation algorithms of the SMA and is a microcircuit, individual elements of which can fail due to power surges or moisture. Also, tracks in the controller burn out or oxidize, or the firmware “flies”.

SIGNS

The Whirlpool washing machine is not working correctly. Programs can fail “any way.” Most often, the Whirlpool CMA does not pour or drain water, does not spin the drum, spontaneously interrupts programs or does not start the wash at all. The display may display codes F01 (FH), F06, F07, F08, F09, F14, F15, F16, F20, F21, F26.

HOW TO FIX

The master carries out diagnostics of the control module, “ringing” individual radio elements and tracks. Then he replaces the burnt-out parts and/or solders the faulty tracks. If the firmware has failed, the technician unsolders the module’s memory, reprograms it and returns it to its place.

If the board is extensively damaged, it is completely replaced with a new one.

*Rates are only for the work of the master; new module elements or fees are paid separately.

Repair

If the fault cannot be found, it’s time to move on to more complex diagnostics . In most cases, it will not be possible to do without disassembling household appliances. However, this is not difficult to do if you follow the instructions.

Network filter

A surge protector is installed in every washing machine. It prevents household appliances from breaking down if voltage surges occur. If the filter malfunctions, the device will not turn on, which is a kind of protection against burnout.

You can troubleshoot the problem as follows:

• disconnect the device from all communications;
• twist the back panel;
• remove the surge protector, which is located on the side wall;
• replace the faulty part;
• Reassemble the device in reverse order.

To understand whether the surge protector is working, take measurements using a multimeter. The operating element should produce a voltage of about 680 kOhm.

On/Off button

You can determine that the power button is faulty by visual inspection.

Signs of damage:

• the button is pressed in;
• she dangles;
• pressing is difficult.

Diagnostics is performed using a multimeter. If a breakdown is detected, the button is replaced. To do this, you will have to twist the top cover, remove the powder receptacle, remove the control panel and replace the faulty element.

Control board

The control module is responsible for all operations that the washing machine performs. If it breaks down, the device either completely stops responding to commands or performs them incorrectly.

It's rare for an entire electronic controller to break down . In most cases, resistors or tracks burn out. This can be corrected by resoldering them. In case of a system failure, you will have to perform a flashing.

In general, repairing the control board is difficult from a technical point of view, so if you do not have the necessary skills and knowledge, it is better to entrust it to a specialist.

Wiring

Damaged wires will not be able to transmit signals, so the Whirlpool washing machine will not work. To carry out diagnostics and repairs, you will have to disassemble the device .

After gaining access to the wires, they are inspected for damage. It is also necessary to evaluate the tightness of the contacts. Sometimes they come off due to excessive vibration or when the device is moved from place to place.

If contamination is found on the terminals, they are removed. Do the same with oxidized contacts. If the damage is serious, the wiring must be replaced.

UBL

If the hatch locking device fails, the machine will turn on, but will not work. This is due to the fact that washing is simply impossible with the door open.

A malfunction will be indicated by sound signals , as well as the inability to close the door until it clicks.

If the device is equipped with an electronic display, the FDU code will be displayed on it. This is what is characteristic of a UBL malfunction. Replacing the part is not difficult.

Power cable

Mechanical damage to the cord is easy to notice. In the problem area it will be broken or torn. If there are no external defects, it is checked with a multimeter.

It is better to replace a cord that has become unusable . It is dangerous to use it as there is a risk of electric shock. In addition, a cord with poor conductivity can cause damage to the washing machine as a whole. Then the repair will cost a more impressive amount.

Public diagnostics

If you notice that after starting the cycle, the automatic machine still does not start drawing water, there is no need to panic. You should analyze the situation and understand what to do first. If your Whirlpool washing machine is under warranty, you should not open the case and repair the unit yourself - it is better to contact a specialist. The service center technicians will diagnose the equipment free of charge and carry out the necessary repairs.

First, make sure there is a water supply in the house. Perhaps the utility company temporarily turned off the service, and it’s not the machine at all. Also check that the shut-off valve is not closed. And finally, check that the UBL has worked and the machine hatch door has closed properly.

If everything is in order and the washing machine does not fill with water, you need to proceed further. The reasons should be eliminated one by one, from simple to more complex. Before starting diagnostics, be sure to turn off the power to the automatic machine and turn off the shut-off valve.

The first thing to check is the inlet hose. You should disconnect it from the washing machine and water supply, inspect for damage to the surface, and rinse under pressure. Afterwards, you need to make sure that the inlet filter is not clogged with debris.

To check the mesh filter:

• disconnect the inlet hose from the unit;
• inspect the inlet solenoid valve, find the mesh;
• use pliers to remove the filter (grasping the small protrusion);
• clean the mesh with a toothbrush and needle, rinse in warm water;
• put the filter element back.

It would be useful to inspect another filter - deep cleaning. It is installed directly after the stopcock. The mesh suffers from scale – since most of the impurities settle on it. To remove the filter element, two wrenches are required. One needs to hold the joint, the other needs to twist the fastening nut. The removed filter should be cleaned with a brush and rinsed under high pressure. Having completed the procedures, you need to check whether they helped restore the operation of the Whirlpool washing machine.

Whirlpool machine freezes, cold water when washing

Often, after starting the washing machine, the control panel begins to behave inappropriately: the display blinks, and all the LEDs blink along with it. The program you have chosen may also not work.

If this is your case, then immediately turn off the SM and wait 60 seconds. Then turn it on and, if the problem persists, you should call a technician, since the control module is damaged, and repairing it yourself is almost impossible. You will need not only a diagram of the control module of the Whirlpool washing machine, but also experience in such repairs.

If the washing machine does not want to heat the water and does not wash clothes well, then you can determine the breakdown without the help of special devices and carry out independent repairs.

The most likely reason for this behavior is a breakdown of the thermistor (temperature sensor) , but the heating element could also fail. Be that as it may, it is worth checking both elements together. Next, follow this simple procedure:

• Turn the machine so that the front wall is in front of you - this will make it more convenient to work.
• Unscrew the bolts and remove the back panel.
• Next, remove the bracket by unscrewing the bolts so that it does not interfere with working with the heater.
• You won’t see the entire heating element at once - only its tail is visible under the tank, to which four wires go, two of which are connected to the heater itself, and the rest to the temperature sensor.
• Remove all wires.
• Take a tester and measure the resistance of the temperature sensor contacts. Check the readings at room temperature, and then by heating the sensor in warm water, they should differ significantly if the sensor is working.
• Next, measure the resistance on the heating element itself. Its normal values ​​are: 20-40 Ohms.

Do-it-yourself repair of Whirlpool washing machines

Start by preparing your equipment. This also applies to your safety: unplug the machine and close the water inlet valve. Now you can understand the causes of the problem and decide where to start repairing.

Fixing drainage problems

It is likely that you have encountered the following situation: you loaded the laundry, started the wash, and at the end the machine refused to drain the water. There may be three reasons for this:

You can check the system for blockages without disassembling the SMA. Start by unscrewing the filter:

Remove debris from the filter mesh. Through the opened mounting hole, you can inspect the pump impeller. Sometimes it is blocked by hair, threads that wrap around its axis. Clean the impeller of debris.

Now check the hose. Direct connection to the sewer often leads to blockage. It is much better to connect the drain hose to a siphon. It is easier to clean if necessary.

If the parts are cleaned, but the drainage does not improve, then check the pipe and pump. To do this, you need to lay the washer body on its side.

Restoring heating

Your items get rid of dirt well thanks to high temperature and detergent. The powder does not dissolve completely in cold water, so stains do not come off easily. The heating element is responsible for heating in the washing machine. A common cause of breakdowns is scale. To check or replace an element, do this:

Do-it-yourself engine repair

Noticed the slow rotation of the drum? Do things leave wet and not wrung out? It's time to check the condition of the engine brushes and drive belt.

In commutator motors, current is supplied to the rotor through brushes. They are installed on the sides of the body. The rods of the soft material elements wear out, causing the work to stop.

Problems with spinning may be due to bearing wear. At the same time, extraneous sounds are heard: creaking, hum.

We eliminate the leak

Washing machines of the Whirlpool family have an unpleasant feature - rapid corrosion of the body. Some parts of the machine are made of metals that quickly corrode, which can lead to leakage. Damaged panels need to be replaced; painting them will not help.

A leak may occur from the hatch cuff. Rubber is sensitive to prolonged accumulation of moisture. If you do not wipe it in time, the cuff will wear out, crack and leak. Only a complete replacement will help.

Installation of new tires is carried out in the reverse order. To make installation easier, coat the edges with detergent.

Checking the electronic board

Problems with some electronics manifest themselves in mode braking, incorrect launch of programs, and “glitches.” A control module diagram is required for repairs.

It is better to entrust this work to a master. You can inspect the board yourself:

Burns or oxidation on the surface of the board indicate a problem. Take the part to a service center or call a specialist to your home.

Front loading whirlpool washing machine won't turn on

The following reasons that occur when the washing machine does not start are listed from most likely to least likely. Check or test each cause, starting with the most likely causes.

Reason 1 Custom control and display panel

To determine if the user control unit and display is faulty, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work but others do not, the control panel may need to be replaced. Also, if the display does not work, check the power supply to the control panel. If the control panel has power but does not work, replace it.

Reason 2 Timer

Reason 3 Line fuse

The line (mains) fuse trips if the washing machine circuits are overloaded. If the line fuse trips, the washing machine will not start. To determine if the mains fuse is bad, use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you must investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to trip. Check for burnt components such as wires, motor or drain pump. If you don't solve the underlying problem, the new fuse will blow again.

Reason 4 Thermal fuse

If the washing machine overheats, the thermal fuse will trip. If the mains fuse trips, the washing machine will not start. To determine if the thermal fuse is broken, use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you must investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to trip. If you don't solve the underlying problem, the new fuse will blow again.

Reason 5 Main control board

The main control board may be faulty. However, the main control panel is rarely the cause of failure. Before replacing the main control board, first check all the more commonly broken parts.

Reason 6 Electrical problem

There may be no power to the outlet. To determine if there is current in the outlet, try plugging something else into the outlet. If there is no current in the outlet, check the fuses.

Profitable repair of Whirlpool washing equipment (Whirlpool)

You can familiarize yourself with the list of services and their costs in the tables below.

Pump and motor

When the end point is a pump, starting capacitor or motor, dismantling begins from the bottom of the housing. For convenience and better visibility, the machine is placed on its “back”

It is important here not to destroy the electronic board or cause a short circuit, which can be caused by residual water getting inside the machine. Therefore, we first drain the residues through the garbage filter, and also dry the dispenser sections in the powder receptacle

Next we proceed according to the following instructions:

• press the latch at the junction and disconnect the drain hose;
• We fix the cover with electrical tape, securing it to the body of the machine;
• slowly lower the machine onto the back panel;
• take the 5/16 socket and unscrew the screws holding the drive belt;
• remove the protective casing;
• disconnect the connector connected to the electric motor;
• remove the drive belt;
• select the head by 1/2 and loosen the engine mounts;
• take out the engine.

To provide access to the pump, remove the left wall of the housing and inspect the drain chamber. Then we disconnect the hoses, pipes and loosen the clamps on the pump. All that remains is to pull the part towards you and pull out the pump.

Typical malfunctions and error codes of the Whirlpool SM

Increasingly, Whirlpool washing machines of Slovak assembly are coming to our markets, less often - Italian. And although users of this equipment call for service 15 times less often than owners of other brands, breakdowns still happen.

Troubleshooting is made easier with built-in system diagnostics. Failure of an MAS unit or part is indicated on the screen by an error code (FH, F02, F05, F06, F07, F09, F10, F11, F13, F14, F15, Sud, FdL, FdU). The meaning of the code can be found in the instructions, after which you can begin repairing the device.

Which fault codes are most common:

• F02 – water does not leave the tank.
• FH/F09 – overflow, problems with the pressure switch.
• F06 – problems with the engine or tachometer.
• FdL/FdU – problems with hatch blocking.

But even if the error does not appear on the display, you can determine the breakdown by external signs. Theoretically, anything can break in the washing machine. We will list only the typical faults that users encounter most often.

• Problems with the heating element
  . Washing takes place in cold water, the laundry is poorly washed and rinsed.
• Engine malfunction
  . The drum rotates poorly or does not rotate at all. Things don't wring out. Perhaps the reason is wear on the motor brushes.
• Leaking from under the hatch
  . Damage or wear of the sealing collar, metal corrosion.
• Damage to the electronic board
  . The machine does not turn on or malfunctions, programs are not activated correctly.
• Water does not drain from the tank
  . The reason is blockages or a pump malfunction.

In half of the cases, repairs are carried out independently, at home. How? More on this below.

Causes of unit failure

Before throwing away the machine due to its malfunction, you can diagnose it yourself. Often the breakdowns in the product are minor, so parts are replaced without calling a technician.

The equipment may not start the washing program or even not turn on completely for several reasons. Their timely identification will extend the service life for several more years and save money.

No. 1 - lack of power supply in the network

In the case when the display does not light up when the power plug is plugged into the socket, and in products with a mechanical control type the device does not start at all, then there may be no current flowing.

The reason for this may be a malfunction in the electrical panel, failure of a circuit breaker, socket, or tripping of a protective shutdown in the presence of an RCD.

Breakage in the shield can occur due to long service life, voltage drops in the system, burnout or mechanical damage to the wire (for example, in the case of repair work), etc.

The machine, as a rule, knocks out when there is a short circuit, a sharp drop in current in the network, or water gets into the socket. To check its serviceability, you need to make sure that it is turned on correctly.

If the machine is knocked out, the lever will be in the lower position - off . If after switching on the device does not work, it means it has failed and will need to be completely replaced.

Characteristic signs of a protective device being knocked out are an electric shock to the user when trying to start the machine, after which the device turns on.

The RCD is triggered to prevent fires due to current leakage and to prevent electric shock to a person when the equipment is turned on.

Therefore, there may have been a power failure or the device may have malfunctioned due to poor quality. If this is the reason for the lack of electricity, then it is necessary to check its performance and the presence of related problems in the panel.

In another case, the equipment does not start when the outlet breaks down.

Externally, the device may look slightly burnt, with characteristic traces of black color in the plug connection holes, or melted

To check its serviceability, you need to use an indicator screwdriver and see if there is current in it. You can also try connecting another electrical appliance, such as a hair dryer, iron or table lamp. If the products work, then you need to look for another reason.

Using a multimeter, you can check the presence of phase in the socket in the following way:

1. Take the meter and turn on the alternating current (ACV) measurement mode.
2. Set the maximum value on the device – 220 V.
3. Connect the probes of the device to the socket connectors.
4. Record the network readings on a special display.
5. Based on the information received, draw a conclusion whether the socket is working or requires further replacement.

When the above methods have been carried out and the cause has not been identified, then the functionality of the machine parts should be checked.

No. 2 - malfunction of the power cord elements

The wire of the product is constantly subjected to various deformations - bends, pinches, tension, and creases. Therefore, the possibility of damage during operation cannot be ruled out.

To determine this type of failure, it is necessary to visually inspect the cord, as well as the plug. The devices may show signs of burning or melting plastic and a corresponding unpleasant odor.

If such a problem is detected, use of the cord and plug is strictly prohibited as it may result in electric shock or short circuit.

You can also check if there are any breaks in the wire using a multimeter. In this case, the device will need to be connected to all three wires in turn. If a breakdown is detected, it is advisable to replace the cable rather than connecting the elements using electrical tape.

If the machine is connected to the network using an extension cord, then the reason for the lack of startup may be hidden in this device.

The functionality of the extension cord should also be checked by connecting other electrical appliances. If it malfunctions, the equipment will need to be connected through another device or directly into an outlet.

No. 3 - problems with the “Power” button

The wash may not start due to problems with the “Start” button. This problem most often occurs in newer generation of device models. The operating principle of such products is to directly supply current from the power cord to the button.

To check whether a part is working or not, you need to perform the following series of actions:

• disconnect the device from the power supply;
• remove the upper part of the product body;
• unscrew and remove the control panel on which the button is located;
• disconnect the wire connections from the button;
• connect a multimeter to them and check for the presence of current when the button mode is on.

If the button works, the device will produce a corresponding sound. If a problem is found, the part must be replaced.

The button may be dented due to prolonged use of the equipment, clogged with dust or washing powder, or may not work due to broken internal wires

Some equipment has a slightly different design principle, and the voltage is supplied not to the power button, but to the command device or electronic module. This depends on the model and manufacturer of the particular unit.

No. 4 - failure of the electronic module or programmer

The serviceability of these parts is checked only after the correct connection of all electrical circuits, the integrity of the wires, plugs, and the device that locks the hatch have been checked.

These unit components are quite expensive, so the feasibility of replacing them must be decided independently on an individual basis.

The reason for the failure of elements may be careless handling of equipment, a voltage drop in the network, moisture getting into the mechanism, or a defective new part.

To identify a breakdown, the command device must be disassembled. Their devices differ depending on the model and brand of the machine. The general disassembly procedure is the same, but the appearance of the part may vary.

No. 5 - the locking system does not function

If the equipment is turned on and the power indicator lights up and the washing program does not start, you should check the serviceability of such an element as the hatch lock.

As a rule, the machine locks the door when starting a program. If this does not happen, then you need to pay attention to this node.

In devices with a horizontal type of laundry loading, the door is locked using a special lock, which is located on the side of the hatch

To do this, disassemble the front part of the product body and measure the presence of voltage in this element with a tester. If the current passes, but the mechanism does not work, then it will need to be completely replaced.

If the device shows no voltage, then the control unit - the electronic module or command device - needs to be checked and repaired.

No. 6 - interference filter malfunction

Each model is equipped with a special element that is responsible for damping electromagnetic radiation during operation - an interference filter.

The part allows you to protect other equipment from electric waves that can damage it. If this unit breaks down, the machine will not turn on and the indicators will not light up.

The filter may break due to prolonged use of the product, a short circuit or a manufacturing defect. In the event of a breakdown, the electrical circuit is disrupted, therefore, voltage is not supplied to the control unit and the equipment does not work

In addition, the surge protector prevents the electronic internal system of the device from burning out or failing.

The more expensive the product and the more functionality it has, the more the components are susceptible to breakdowns in the event of voltage surges. There is a high probability that one of the important elements will burn out: board, motor, heating element, wiring.

Therefore, it is imperative to promptly replace the filter in the event of its failure in order to protect the device from more serious damage.

No. 7 - damage to internal wiring

Most devices have an internal structure in which the wires touch each other and, due to vibration, can intersect, twist, fall out of the electrical circuit sockets and break.

In the event of such a breakdown, the equipment will turn on, but the display with indicators will either light up, blink, or go out at the same time

To identify the area of ​​breakage or burnout, it is necessary to completely disassemble the device. Careful examination of wiring and diagrams, as well as the use of a tester, will help identify problem areas. In the future, you will need to replace or solder the damaged areas.

Special codes

In addition to the main one, there is an additional list of error codes issued by the Whirlpool technique. It is also presented in the user manual. Let's figure out what malfunctions and malfunctions in the equipment we are talking about.

• FH(F01). Only the first LED is lit. The machine notifies that water does not “enter” the system. There may be several reasons for this: low pressure in the pipes, a closed shut-off valve, a clogged inlet valve, self-draining (if the drain hose is connected incorrectly, the tank fills and then empties). In addition, the problem may lie in a broken level sensor, damaged wiring, or a malfunction of the electronic module. The algorithm of actions for repairing the washing machine will be different in each case.
• FA(F02). Lights 5 and 9 are observed blinking. This means that the “Aquastop” function has been activated. Most often this happens due to a leak. Depressurization of the system is observed when the tank is damaged, the cuff of the hatch door is defective, pipes are broken, etc. Less commonly, the problem is a malfunction of the control module.

• FP (F03). Indicators 5, 6 and 8 light up at the same time. The machine informs about a failure in the drainage system - the liquid is not discharged from the tank into the sewer. Possible causes: pump failure, clogged drain hose or garbage filter, damage to the main control board.
• Fod (F18). Lights 2, 5 and 9 light up. The machine stops working due to excessive foaming. It is possible that the wrong powder is used or the dosage of detergent is greatly exceeded. You need to turn off the device, wait until the “soap” cap disappears and drain the water from the system by starting the appropriate mode.
• FDL. The washing machine indicates that the door lock device is broken. You'll have to inspect the contacts of the blocker. If everything is fine with them, you need to replace the UBL.
• FDU. The hatch is not closed tightly enough. You can try pressing the door with your knee and the lock will work. If it doesn’t help, the UBL needs to be replaced.
• bdd. The code is typical for “verticals”. LEDs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 are lit. The unit informs about poorly closed drum flaps. You should proceed as follows: hold down the “Reset” button for 3 seconds. The drum should open. Then lift the washer lid, close the doors again and activate the desired mode.
• F A very rare code found only on modern Whirlpools. Informs that the software has not been updated via the Internet. In this situation, you should contact your provider or service center specialists.

Deciphering errors will help narrow down the range of possible breakdowns. This will make it easier to bring the machine back to “life.” Depending on the complexity of the upcoming repair, you should decide whether to do the work yourself or call a service center.

Problem codes

With a Whirlpool washing machine, faults may be displayed in the form of alphanumeric codes on the control panel. Most of these problems can be solved on your own:

• F01 (FH) . Problems with the water fill level (excessively low level or no water in the tank).
• F02 . The “Aqua Stop” function has activated.
• F03 (FP) . The automatic water drain did not work.
• F04 . Problems with water heating or its complete absence.
• F05 . The temperature sensor is not functioning.
• F06 . Problems with the engine or tachogenerator.
• F07 . The engine control circuit is faulty.
• F08 . Damage to the water heating element.
• F09 . The water level in the tank is exceeded.
• F10 . The engine does not turn.
• F11 . Communication problems.
• F12 . The water in the tank does not heat up or the heating level is low.
• F13 . Water does not flow into the tank or does not flow quickly enough.
• F14 . Problems with the control system.
• F15 . Electric motor failure.
• F16 . Failure of the control system or malfunctions in its operation.
• F18 . Wrong type of washing powder.
• F19 . Incorrect power supply parameters.
• F20, F21 . Triggered when the controller fails.
• F22 . The detergent dispenser is clogged and no water flows.
• F23 . Failures during flooding.
• F24 . Lack of control over the water level in the tank.
• F26, F27, F28 . Interference in the operation of the electric motor.
• F31 . Software update failed.
• FDL . The hatch lock does not work.
• FDU . The loading hatch is not closed tightly.

The washing machine does not turn on - what to do? Expert advice | RemBytTech

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Whirlpool AWE 7515-1 6th sense washing machine is in operation. I set it to wash, the light went out halfway through the wash, I opened the lid, then during the next wash it says: “The lid is open,” and the time on the timer is not correct.

Check the locking, electronic unit, heating element.

AWE 6516-1. I press start, the drum spins, no water comes in, the “wash”, “rinse”, and “service” lamps light up. I checked the filter - the mesh, the pressure in the water supply hose is good, maybe the inlet valve is damaged? Before the breakdown, for a month, periodically at the end of the washing program, the machine did not spin out the clothes after draining the water, and the “service” light was on. I'm thinking maybe I should check the resistance of the valve coil? How to get there? Do I need to remove the side cover?

Check everything connected to the level sensor - the tube, the pressure sampling chamber, the pressure switch itself.

Washing machine WTLS 70712 (vertical) – stopped at spin cycle. Tried restarting three times - same thing. I had to fish out the laundry like this, and there was soapy water there. What could it be?

Most likely a blockage.

New machine awoc 0714. During the washing process, the “water supply tap is closed” indicator flashes. After pressing the start button it continues to work. All water connections have been checked and the water is fine. What could it be?

The fact that the “water supply is cut off” indicator is on may mean low water pressure in the water supply (water is not filled in for a certain period of time). The pressure in the water supply for the correct operation of the unit must be 2 Atm. and more.

SMA 6516-1. Spin does not work. The filter is clean.

Possible malfunctions include clogged drainage pipe, pump, level switch, and control unit.

The Whirlpool AWE 2322 washing machine did not spin out the laundry, all the indicators went out, and there was a smell of burning on top near the wash control knob. What to do?

Most likely, the electronic unit has failed, repair or replacement.

This is a problem with the SMA WTLS 60700. Sometimes after finishing the wash the lid does not open and you have to start the wash mode again. What can be done about this?

This also happens on top-loading models. It's not scary. The problem is UBL (hatch blocking device).

SMA Whirlpool AWOC 0714. Washing goes well, but the problem arises in the rinsing function. She rinses the clothes, then pumps out the water. The digital display shows 27 minutes until the end of the wash. This goes up to 25 minutes and comes back to 27. And so on ad infinitum. To switch to the spin program, you need to switch the SMA yourself, and then to finish the wash you need to end the program yourself. Errors are not shown on the display. Help me figure out what the problem is?

Most likely, there is a malfunction in the control module and it is this that needs to be diagnosed. Try disconnecting the unit from the power supply for 30 minutes to reboot the control processor. If this does not help, then call a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.

On the Whirlpool 7515 washing machine, when turned on, after a while the “no water supply” light appears.

Check if the supply valve is open. There may be a blockage in the supply hose or in the inlet valve screen.

We bought a Whirlpool AWE 6516 washing machine with top loading and electronic control. Container for detergents under the lid. I pour the conditioner into the container, and it immediately pours out of the small round hole as soon as I close the lid. What is the reason?

The reason for this behavior may be due to incorrect installation of the cuvette (powder dispenser and conditioner).

WTLS 60912 zen. The drain/spin program does not run after the normal washing and rinsing programs (some kind of cracking sound is heard). I tried to unscrew the filter, but it didn't work. Previously it was unscrewed without problems, now only half a turn, nothing further. What to do?

A foreign object has entered the pump; complete disassembly of the pump is required.

I have SMA WTLS 60812. There is a strong hum when water is sucked out. What could it be?

If there are no foreign objects in the filter, then the drain pump must be replaced.

SMA AWE 7515-1 with vertical loading up to 5.5 kg and electronic control, without display. I purchased it two weeks ago, and the half load, eco mode and prewash indicators do not light up. Maybe I'm breaking the sequence of necessary actions? Please tell me.

It is necessary to clarify what you do to start the half mode and Eco wash? If you load more than 2.5 kg, then this does not work.

Washing machine AWE 7515. 10 minutes before the end of the wash the indicator lights up: clean the filter. Tell me what needs to be done and how to finish washing after?

The unit must be disconnected from the network. Open the filter window, if there is a black thin hose there, place a tray under it, remove the plug from it and drain the water. If there is no hose, then carefully cover the SMA with rags and turn the filter cover a little, the water will gradually drain out. After draining the water, unscrew the filter completely, clean it, rinse it under the tap and screw it back into place.

Model AWO-C 7714, I don’t remember the exact year of manufacture. When the program starts, very little water is drawn in and the laundry is almost dry. What could be the problem? Malfunction of the command apparatus? Runs other programs.

The water level sensor may be faulty.

When you start the wash, water is drawn onto the awe 6415-1, the wash begins and proceeds, then after 10-15 minutes everything stops and the “no water supply” error lights up. If you press start, the wash starts again and the error repeats. Moreover, this happens in all washing modes, except for rinse and spin modes.

It is necessary to do a complete diagnosis of the electronic unit.

The washing machine Whirlpool 6416 with vertical loading 5.5 kg and electronic control is in operation. After repairing the control board, the plugs were mixed up when connecting. Then we moved them into place, after which the pre-wash and delayed start buttons stopped working. What to do? And please tell me, can the control module jam after this?

Delayed start and pre-wash buttons that do not work can be caused by either repair of the control module or incorrect connection of the power cable.

We have a Whirpool 6377 washing machine. When washing clothes, it began to hum and shake when wrung out. At the same time, without laundry, the drum does not move smoothly in a circle, but as if hitting something. We were told that the bearings may have worn out, could this be the case?

Yes, indeed, in this case, bearing wear.

The new Whirlpool WTLS 70712 washing machine leaks water onto the sink when draining.

Clean out the drain.

Model WTLS 60912. Water remains in the drum, and the drain motor is running.

Check the drain filter.

SMA AWO-C 0714. Water is drawn in without stopping until it begins to flow out through the powder compartment.

There is no signal from the water level sensor. Perhaps the sensor has failed or the supply pipe has become frayed.

Washing machine Whirlpool AWOC 7714, the program stops randomly. If you push the regulator, it works for a while. Sometimes the water doesn't drain. The filter and hose are clean. What could be the reason?

All problems are possible in the pump, although a malfunction of the KSMA cannot be ruled out.

In the Whirlpool AWE 6415 washing machine, the indicators light up at the same time: wash, rinse, service. Where can I find a table of possible breakdowns based on the indicator lights?

Flashing buttons from left to right (1,2,3,4) indicates: 1,2 - blocking 1,3 - incorrect water level 1,4 - pump (no drain) 2,3 - water level overflow 2,4 - heating element ( no heating) 3,4 - engine error 1,2,3 - electronic module 2,3,4 - engine error 1,2,4 - incorrect mains voltage 1,3,4 - communication error (electronic module).

When you start washing the SMA 6415-1, water is drawn in, the washing begins and proceeds, then after 10-15 minutes everything stops and the “clean filter” error lights up.

Check the drain hydraulic system (if the drain pump is blocked, if there are kinks or blockages in the drain hose or siphon).

Machine AWE 2221. Something recently happened that after washing the lid did not open, and it was late and there was nothing to wear to work in the morning, so I had to take it apart. Well, naturally I had to wash it a couple more times, in case it opened, but no.

Change UBL.

Why does the Whirlpool WTLS 65912 top-loading machine not spin or drain water?

If the unit has not drained the water, the spin cycle will not start. First, the water is drained, the water level sensor detects the empty tank and the unit begins spinning the laundry. Most likely, the drain pump has failed or the drain filter is clogged. Try cleaning the filter, and then check the pump.

Washing machine awo-d 8500 spin does not work.

If the unit does not pick up speed during spinning, then it may be necessary to replace the motor brushes and tachogenerator. If it does not drain before spinning, check the drain.

Please tell me the washing machine Whirlpool 2221. After finishing the wash, I open the lid, and the drum is turned with the lock down so that I have to turn it in and open it with my hands. How to deal with this problem or should I call a technician?

A drum turned down after washing is normal. The fact is that in such models there are no limiters that would turn the drum up to the hatch.

Model AWE 8730 - spin does not turn on. Normal wash: gets to the point where the spin should start, and nothing happens. The pump pumps out water. Spin mode: after scrolling the drum back and forth (11 minutes on the timer), the program is reset to 0:00. Neither spinning nor water pumping starts. Test mode: at the end of the test on C08 it spins up to full speed. No error messages.

Check the heating element for breakdown.

Why does the CMA Whirlpool 6514, 5 years old, stop before spinning and the light to clean the filter is on, the filter has already been cleaned 20 times and it is clean, after cleaning it can wash it completely once, but stops again on the second.

There may be a blockage in the drain.

Washing machine Whirlpool WTLS 65912 zen. When rinsing, it leaks from the powder reservoir. What to do?

Rinse the dispenser; if there is a strong water pressure, then close the supply tap a little.

Whirlpool AWOC 7712, I don’t remember the year of manufacture. Even when the power is turned off, water flows from the supply valve without stopping. How difficult is it to solve the problem?

Most likely, the CEN has failed.

Washing machine AWE 2322. How to open the drum to pick up clothes if the drum is jammed and you can’t turn it and find the lid?

Just return the curtains to the top position, there is no other way.

Model AWE 60710 - FdL error. The washing machine works for 2 years. According to the error code, there is a problem in the lock. I haven't figured anything out yet. It produces an error not at startup, but at the end of the program. And not every time. I assumed there was a problem with opening the lock. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe someone has encountered such a problem? I took the lock apart. I disassembled the relay. Some plates. Put it back together. I wanted to buy a new lock DA 061 667, but I don’t know where yet.

The working part of this lock is quite universal and can be selected from other locks.

The WTLS 60812 zen machine fills with water, but the drum does not turn! What to do?

Check to see if the drain hose has fallen. The connection height should be 0.6-0.9 meters from the floor level. If everything is in order with the hose, then diagnostics is needed.

SMA AWE 9630 with vertical loading. When you turn on any program, it displays error F14. It is not under warranty, the device is 2 and a half years old. I removed the side walls myself, examined the insides and the control board, and did not notice any visible flaws. What can be done?

According to the fault code, the control board has failed.

On my AWE 1066 washing machine, when I turn it on to the washing mode, no water comes in, and it gives an error after a few minutes. How to solve a problem?

The filters may become clogged if water is poured in slowly; after a certain time, the automatic system turns off the program. You need to see if the filter on the cold water meter is clean enough. If there is good water pressure in the tap, you need to unscrew the inlet hose from the main line, there is a strainer there, it gets clogged. Next, the filter is on the unit itself, where the water supply hose is connected. If scale gets under the valve, this can also cause the valve to not open or close sufficiently. You can remove the back wall and top cover, unscrew the valve block and rinse it under the tap with running water. Sometimes it helps. All except if the valve itself fails.

The Whirlpool AWOC 0714 washing machine does not pick up speed during the spin cycle. It starts to spin and stops, and so on in all modes. What could be the reason?

Try running it with an empty tank. If everything goes well, the problem is that the laundry was loaded incorrectly.

SMA AWOC 7712 does not stop at the “Stop” sign, but continues to erase.

The control unit is suspected to be faulty.

Washing machine AWE 60710. The display blinks and the numbers disappear. Contacts seem to be ok.

The display module is probably faulty; replacement is more likely. Although the unit can work with such a malfunction.

Whirlpool model 2214-1 - error code F08. Before this everything was fine. I turn on a program where I need to fill it with water. Other programs without adding water work fine. I press start: the engine slowly rotates clockwise, then counterclockwise, then clockwise, then spins and stops. The lamp is green (spin) and red (contact service). Error F8 - Open circuit of the heating element. It is necessary to check: heating element, protective pressure switch, thermistor and electronic control board (controller). I checked the electrical circuit of the heating element, the protective pressure switch, the thermistor and the electronic control board (controller). I sent the payment for diagnostics (everything is normal). I supplied direct 220V to the valves, water flowed well. The pump and spin works well. Tell?

Change the heating element.

The AWE 2214 washing machine displays service F12, not a single program starts, please tell me what to do?

Error F12 - The heating relay is stuck or the heating element is broken to ground.

Washing machine Whirlpool 2214-1. When the tank flaps opened, a click sounded and the lower flap hung. The spring fastenings have broken along the edges, and the flap does not hold in the correct position, and therefore does not close the tank properly. I called several repairmen, they all claim that it cannot be repaired and that this is a replacement of the entire tank, and the cost is not cheap, and they advise me to buy a new machine. I've encountered this problem twice already. Is there really nothing that can be done? I've been using it for 5 years, it works, not counting this spring. Is it money down the drain?

Indeed, it is very difficult to find a door hinge for a top-loading model, even to order.

Whirlpool AWE 1066 machine, 7 months in use. Recently, she began to behave strangely - every two or three minutes she periodically pours water, and so on endlessly. Then the red service button lights up. Tell me, what is the reason?

Try lowering the drain hose into the bathtub, it should help.

Model AWE 2215 - when washing it says no water supply.

Check the faucet.

Model AWE 2215. Fills up water and starts washing. The drum rotates several revolutions and stops, after a second or two a click is heard (possibly a relay) and it pauses for 30-60 seconds. Then again: the drum rotates several times (in the same direction), the click stops. Nothing blinks. I opened it, checked all the contacts on the board and connected it to the water inlet - it didn’t help. The inlet hose was reconnected.

We check all peripheral devices. The second reverse relay may have burned out.

I have a Whirlpool 6080 washing machine. Today, after washing my down jacket, I decided to rinse it again. But all the water immediately flows out of the dispenser onto the floor. All hoses are dry. The top cover was opened. All hoses around the dispenser are dry. What can you recommend? 2 years ago the drum bearings and heating element were replaced.

In your case, the problem may be that the water has not drained from the last program and the water is overflowing the drum. In this case, the drain pump is faulty.

SMA AWE 6080. When the engine is running, it drains and fills with water, but the drum does not spin, it jams, and smoke comes out from under the belt. What could be the problem?

The bearings of the washing unit are probably jammed.

The AWE 6314 washing machine takes in water and drains, but does not wash. What is the problem?

Self-draining is possible; a malfunction of the level relay or control module cannot be ruled out.

AWE 6314-1. During the wash, towards the end of the cycle, it stopped. The “network” light went out. And it didn't turn on anymore. There is still water in the tank. The instructions are lost. Question: where is the emergency water drain and what could happen to it?

Check the presence of voltage in the network, plug another device into the outlet. Water from the unit can be drained through the filter by turning it out or through the drain hose and placing it on the floor.

The Whirlpool 6314-1 washing machine was purchased in 2008. It so happened that it was not used until now. We tried to turn it on, but the water does not fill, a growling sound is heard, and the loading door does not lock. What could it be?

Check the presence of voltage in the network and the water supply to the unit, the power button. You won't check the control unit; a new one is needed.

SMA AWE 61000 during spinning, the drum accelerates for 30 seconds (approximately), and then rotates at a speed of approximately 10 revolutions / min. It didn't work like that before. It accelerated, and for 5-6 minutes the drum rotated at 100-800 rpm. What can be done?

Most likely the motor control board has failed.

The Whirlpool AWE 61000 top-loading washing machine began to stop mid-wash. After switching the program dial one click, it erases, but then stops again. And so on several times. Especially before rinsing and spinning. What could be the reason? The other day they changed the heating element (the water did not heat up). Could the master have touched something and damaged it?

The temperature sensor may also need to be replaced.

AWE 61200 does not spin or drain water.

Check the drain filter.

In spin mode, the washing machine model 66710 rumbles and jumps. Where to look for a problem?

The bearings and seal need to be replaced.

AWE 7527 in operation for 4 years. The drum creaks when washing, and without laundry the heavy movement creaks.

Replacement drum bearings.

The whirlpool AWE 6316 erases until the first flush and stops; after disconnecting from the network and turning on, subsequent cycles proceed normally.

It is necessary to check the heating circuit and electronic unit.

Washing machine display

If a problem is detected, the washing machine stops working and immediately displays an error message. Signaling methods depend on the specific model, rather, on its age. Most new models are equipped with a display with a segment indicator on which one or another code is displayed.

Most old cars also have a built-in diagnostic system, only the results of its operation are communicated to the user in a different way, by turning on the lamps on the display panel. If you look at the documentation for the machine, you can easily find a table there that allows you to clearly determine the type of error and identify the faulty unit.

Washing machines without a display use a lack of water supply indicator and a number of operating mode indicators to display the error code:

• prewash;
• wash;
• rinsing;
• stop;
• spin

In addition to them, indicators are used to indicate an open hatch and a dirty drain filter. Combinations of these lamps with the “Service” lamp make it possible to clearly identify a breakdown.

It doesn’t matter how exactly the device signals an error, as soon as this occurs, you need to immediately take measures to correct the situation. It is important to understand that ignoring even a seemingly insignificant error may entail the need to replace a number of expensive device components in the near future

What happened?

At this point, we will figure out what malfunctions could have caused the washing machine to fail to work. As mentioned above, there may be several of them, so we will present a complete list.

1. No power supply. This can be the result of either a breakdown or a wire accidentally unplugged from the outlet, a malfunction of the outlet itself, or simply a power outage.
2. There is something wrong with the start button or the programmer that controls all the buttons.
3. The FPS or the wiring next to it burned out.
4. The hatch locking device is broken, which prevents the machine from starting to function in a faulty state.
5. Problems with the control board.

If the problem is any of the above, your machine will show characteristic signs. For example: it will not respond to the start button; when turned on, the indicator will light up all the lights, which will start blinking randomly; even when the start indicator lights up, the machine will not start. However, keep in mind that the problem does not always lie in a serious breakdown; perhaps some kind of malfunction occurred or factors that had nothing to do with the car influenced the problem.

If you are not confident in your diagnostic and repair abilities, contact a specialist!

Let's limit the range of breakdowns

The heating element, a tubular heater, is responsible for heating the water in the washing machine tank. In most cases, the F08 designation occurs precisely when the heater fails. If this is indeed the case, you need to replace the part with a new one. But a malfunction of the heating element is not the only reason for the appearance of such an error. The code can mean something else.

1. Pressostat malfunction. Problems with the water level sensor can lead to uncontrolled intake and release of water automatically. The liquid simply does not have time to heat up to the set temperature.
2. Failure of the temperature sensor. When the thermostat stops functioning, the water heats up too slowly, or vice versa so quickly that its temperature at the moment becomes much higher than the set one. The temperature sensor will transmit “false” information to the central unit, and the control module will thereby issue false commands to various systems of the unit.
3. Defect in the control electronic module (controller), which is the “brain” of the washing machine. When it breaks down, there are problems with the normal functioning of the machine. It may be necessary to reflash or replace the element with a new one.

To begin with, you need to “weed out” the most minor and easily fixable faults. For example, diagnose a heating element, then a pressure switch or temperature sensor, and only after checking that this is not the reason, call a technician who can make a professional decision about the condition and performance of the control module of the Whirlpool automatic machine.
