It happens that problems arise with the washing machine - it may suddenly stop. It turns out that the soapy water could not be drained; it remained inside the tank. This indicates that the drain is not functioning, an operational error or equipment breakdown is possible. If the Atlant washing machine does not drain water, you need to figure out the cause of the current situation.
We are trying to find the reason ourselves
Initially, you need to perform actions aimed at independently searching for the reason that drain does not function:
- It is important to ensure that the mode is set correctly. In any model, even not the newest one, you can wash things without spinning them. In such modes, the water will remain inside the Atlant machine without draining. Typically, such programs in a washing machine are used when washing woolen items or on a delicate cycle. Rinsing, which will be carried out at low speeds, does not deform things, thanks to which they look just as beautiful and even the size of the clothes will remain the original size. You will need to use the main button to launch a program that allows you to drain the water. If the machine is working properly, the procedure will be completed successfully.
- Check the technical condition of the drain hose responsible for draining. It may be deformed.The water cannot be drained because there is no flow or it is too weak.
- Check the cleanliness of the sewage equipment used or the drain siphon installed on the machine. The hose of the Atlant machine is disconnected from the washing machine and hangs into a container where you can drain the water. You need to see if the water will drain. If the sewer is clogged, the flow will be too weak. It needs cleaning.
Common problems
If the Atlant washing machine does not drain water and does not wring out, you can suspect the following breakdowns:
- Blockage. Before the pump, which is responsible for draining water from the tank, there is a small filter of the Atlant washing machine. You can find a whole bunch of garbage here. If it is heavily clogged, it becomes impossible to pass and drain water. Sometimes all it takes is one coin to cause a problem. It is necessary to carry out cleaning activities by unscrewing the filter and washing it thoroughly. However, if the pipe is clogged, you will need to call a technician and open the washing machine body to restore the drain function.
- Pump fault. This unit is compact in size, but plays a very important role. The water flow is generated by the rapid rotation of the pump. If it is burnt out, it will need to be replaced in order to resume draining water.
- Failure in the control module or the Atlant washing machine programmer. There may be damage due to the operation of the control module. As a result, the signal from the board cannot be sent to the pump motor, so the water is not sent to the drain. The solution is to repair the control module.
- Sensor failure, which is designed to control the water level in the drum - it does not show whether there is liquid in the machine. A signal is sent to the control module that the water has been drained.
Such drain breakdowns are considered the most common.
How to check for faults yourself
Filter check
A drain hose is installed next to the filter. If you remove the cap from it, you can carefully drain all the water. Next, unscrew the filter and look inside, assessing the state of its clogging. Sometimes it is enough to clean it, remove accumulated debris from it, and try to start spinning on the machine and start draining.
If it is planned to drain water from the tank, you cannot open the hatch. Otherwise, the flow of water will be spontaneous and the apartment can be flooded. It is for this reason that to drain the water yourself, you must use a drain hose, checking its condition.
A filter that is clogged or blocked by a coin or other objects is blocking the drainage of water. This is usually the cause of the problem. It is advisable to carry out cleaning activities regularly to avoid unwanted problems.
Pump performance
The pump may behave strangely. It usually makes strange sounds when it is clogged with threads or has accumulated lint. This often happens with Atlant washing machines that are used intensively over a long period of time.
The ideal option is to disassemble the pump and carefully inspect it.If threads are wound on the shaft, it must be cleaned. After this, you need to assemble the washing machine to find out the functionality of the pump and the functioning of the drain.
You can also carry out diagnostics using a multimeter. However, it is advisable to entrust such a responsible procedure to professionals.
It is important to understand that the pump is a sensitive part. If it breaks soon, numerous failures will occur.
Checking the condition of the wires
If there is no voltage on the pump being used, determine the cause of this malfunction. This is usually due to broken electronic parts or broken wires. You can only check the wires in Atlanta yourself. Electronics repairs should be left to professionals.
