Ardo washing machine does not turn on - washing does not start

Sometimes situations arise when an Ardo washing machine does not turn on. It is not at all necessary to immediately run to the phone to call repairmen. It is likely that the problem can be solved with your own hands, and the main thing in this situation is not to panic. This article will discuss the causes of the malfunction, as well as ways to eliminate possible breakdowns.

Causes

Determine why immediately The washing machine stopped turning on, will not work. This requires an inspection of the equipment. In this case, attention should be paid to both the external elements of the device and the internal ones. For example, the main reasons for lack of performance are:

• Electrical problems. This includes malfunctions of machines, sockets, extension cords.
• The power cord or plug is deformed.
• Overheating of the FPS - network capacitor.
• Door lock malfunction.
• Overheating of the start button contacts.
• Also, the cause of the breakdown may be a failure of the control module.

The following three reasons will require a thorough inspection and immediate repair.For example, as a result of a door malfunction, the indicators may not light up; they can be replaced fairly quickly.

And finally, the last reason is the most multifaceted and serious. It is worth considering each of the cases separately.

Minor damage

In a situation where Ardo refuses to turn on It is necessary to inspect the equipment for possible damage or malfunctions. You need to start with the simplest reasons, which are located under points 1 and 2 above.

The washing machine remains in place during the inspection. First of all, if the Ardo machine refuses to turn on, you will need to perform the following steps.

• Check the outlet. To do this, you need to remove the plug from the socket and connect another electrical device to it. The verification method is quite simple. The socket is considered broken if the connected device refuses to turn on.
• If the outlet works, you need to check the extension cord where the cord of the Ardo machine goes. The verification method is the same as above.
• The next element of inspection will be the network cable. If damage to the insulating layer is detected, and traces of melting are also noticed, the cord must be replaced. Its further operation is impossible. Otherwise, this may cause the Ardo machine to stop turning on and working.
• Finally, if you cannot see any damage, you can check the wire using a multimeter. To do this, you must first set the device to the minimum resistance value, and then touch the probe to one of the teeth (usually the right one) of the fork. The standard resistance value for an Ardo machine is 2 ohms. Any deviation indicates that the plug needs to be replaced.

Mains capacitor fault

Sometimes The washing machine may not turn on due to problems with FPS. This abbreviation stands for interference filter or network capacitor.

The element is a semiconductor structure that is installed inside the washing machine to absorb minor interference. It is no secret that the operation of almost all electrical networks occurs with periodic interruptions. They are caused by the same interference, the effect of which on the washing machine is eliminated by the FPS. This ensures reliable operation of the equipment and all elements.

You can find the FPS at the end of the power cord if you look inside the Ardo washing machine. If the filter breaks, it will need to be replaced. This action can only be performed after the top cover of the machine has been removed.

To remove it, you will need to unscrew two bolts and pull the part towards you. Under the cover you will find a wire, as well as a capacitor. It is recommended to disconnect all connected wires from the capacitor and take the structure outside.

The filter's performance is also checked using a multimeter at minimum resistance values. The serviceability of the element can be indicated if the device shows a rapid increase in the indicator to one. If during the test the numbers 1 or 0 appear immediately, the capacitor must be replaced.

To replace, you will need to buy a new filter and install it in place of the old one. All the necessary wires are connected to the new capacitor, and then the cover is screwed back on.

Damage to the device power button

Another option why the Ardo washing machine does not turn on is power button malfunction. Often the problem arises because the equipment is already old. Also among the most popular reasons are:

• Contact wear. In this case, the breakdown occurs gradually. At first, the indicators light up periodically, and then completely stop responding to any action.
• Water ingress. Liquid can penetrate inside the button, causing overheating of the electrical circuit responsible for the operation of this element.
• Oxidation of contacts. The problem occurs as a result of excess moisture. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to such a moment.

In order to repair the button, you must first remove the control panel of the washing machine. To do this you will need:

1. Remove the top cover by unscrewing all nuts and bolts.
2. Inspect the button contacts and check their functionality using a multimeter. The check is carried out in exactly the same way as described earlier. In this case, you should also pay attention to the appearance of the numbers 1 or 0.
3. Remove the button if any defect is found. Most cases require the use of a soldering iron.
4. Install a new button in the same place.
5. Put the lid back on.
6. Plug in the washing machine.

Hard case

Finally, if during all previous checks it turned out that all the inspected elements are intact, it is worth concluding that the problem lies in the control module.

This type of malfunction is considered the most serious in the case of the Ardo washing machine. And it is not recommended to replace this element yourself. The work must be performed by an experienced specialist who can not only determine the extent of the damage, but also replace the part or element.

It is worth noting that one of the options repair of the control module, - This is a replacement of the microcircuit. And you can perform this action yourself only if you have experience working with such electronics. And even in this situation, the probability of success is much less than in the case of a professional.

The operation of any equipment requires a responsible and careful attitude, and the Ardo machine is no exception. If the device stops turning on or malfunctions, you should carefully inspect it for possible damage to various systems.
