Why doesn't the washing machine switch programs forward?
Washing machine problems are among the most unpleasant for any housewife. This type of appliance is important for the modern home, as a breakdown in it can disrupt the normal rhythm of everyday life. Most of the problems with the washing machine require the intervention of an authorized technician.
One of the common failures is related to the inability of the device to switch forward working programs. Several reasons are cited for the occurrence of such a problem.
First of all, there is heater wear (wear of motor brushes). It plays a key role in the proper functioning of the device and its operating cycles. From the serviceability of the heating element It depends on whether the water will reach the required temperature or the clothes will come out washed.
This is one of the problems that often occurs with washing machines. When there is a problem with the heating, the machine completes the cycle, but the clothes come out unwashed – there are cases when the washing machine does not complete the program – Indesit, Ariston, Whirlpool and some Bosch washing machines. The reason may be quite trivial. This is due to the dirty water hose, which is placed lower, that is, it is not 60 cm high as prescribed by the manufacturer. In this case, the appliance starts to drain itself. At the same time, the machine fills up constantly, unable to subsequently reach the desired temperature and unable to switch the program forward.
Most appliances have displays that show error codes. There are also washing machines that do not have such an option, but are equipped with diodes that start flashing in a certain way. To be sure what the problem is, you should remember the error code or take a picture with your phone of how many times the light signals appear on the control panel and in what combination they flash.
A likely reason for the inability to switch programs on the washing machine is a failure in the drain pump. It may be installed incorrectly, or a problem has arisen in its operation. The drain pump is an important element in the system of any washing machine. Its work is related to pumping dirty water from the appliance. And as it became clear, with incorrect installation of the hose, the machine will not see the water through the level regulator and will start to reject the water supplied to it into the sewer. That's why it's a good idea to have the dirty water hose bent upwards.
In cases where the laundry remains cold even after the end of the cycle, the cause lies in a fault in the thermal sensor. Its depreciation or change in resistance leads to the inability to send a signal to the control module. Thus, the appliance stops functioning properly during the washing phase of the clothes.
In this problem, an error code appears on the washing machine display, and then the machine stops working. This leads to the inability to switch programs. Such a problem can only be solved by the intervention of a qualified specialist.
A likely reason for the inability of the washing machine to switch programs is a defect in the control module. In fact, it is perhaps the most important, but also the most complex element of the appliance. With its help, programs are changed and commands for the operation of the washing machine are set. Newer models of machines are equipped with a display on which the corresponding error code is displayed. This way you can find out what the fault is in the appliance.
Please note that the control module is extremely complex to diagnose. Any modification to its operation or any repair can only be carried out by a professional.
