Ardo washing machine does not spin - what to do

Your laundry machine is working normally, but refuses to do a spin? Don’t worry, because users encounter this problem quite often, although sometimes it’s not easy to solve. But it should be noted that in fifty percent of cases, the breakdown that caused this problem is eliminated on its own, without the help of experienced craftsmen. Today we will figure out what to do when the Ardo washing machine does not spin clothes.

What to do?

Don't panic prematurely. First, make sure that the cause lies directly in the malfunction. Perhaps you turned off the spin yourself, and the machine is not able to complete the entire program. Check the management panel. There is a possibility that you have set an operating mode that does not involve spinning, or you have set a delicate wash. In this case, set the normal operating mode and adjust the speed.

Top-loading SMAs are able to respond to overload with things. In addition, there may not be enough laundry, an imbalance occurs, and the washing machine stops after several attempts to spin the drum. Simply open the loading hatch and remove excess laundry or distribute items throughout the drum.Remember that such problems are typical for older models, because modern washing equipment is equipped with a function that protects against imbalance.

Causes of malfunction

In most situations, the reasons why the Ardo washing machine does not spin clothes, are quite banal. And the question is not related to failure - the user often makes mistakes, causing spin failure. What is meant in this case?

• The washing machine drum is overloaded with laundry or there is an imbalance in it. By putting more laundry than normal or one large and heavy item into the washing machine, you run the risk that your Ardo washing equipment will freeze without starting to spin the laundry. A similar situation occurs when there are few things in the drum of the machine, or all of them are light;
• The operating mode for the machine is not defined correctly. The latest Ardo household appliances have a large number of operating modes and functions, selected taking into account certain factors. If the work task is not set correctly, the spin mode may not work;
• untimely maintenance of the washing machine. Everyone knows that your washing machine needs to be maintained regularly. If you do not clean the garbage filter for a long time, it becomes clogged with dirt and creates problems for normal spinning. To avoid such a nuisance, in addition to periodically cleaning the filter, it is recommended to perform a similar procedure with the washing powder tray, drain and water intake hoses.

Inspect the filter, hoses and pipes for blockages, remove the pump and check its operation. Check if the electric motor is working properly, check how does a tachometer work?. After this, diagnose the water level sensor. Complete the inspection with wiring, terminals and control board.

Pump or electric motor?

It's no secret that the problems associated with drain pump performance Ardo washing device can not only affect the spin cycle, but also disrupt other operating programs. And here the strange behavior of the equipment cannot absolutely indicate the pump, and there are reasons for this.

According to the design of the control system, the management module is required to notice this fact and stop the washing process by sending a signal corresponding to the code error. But this does not happen, since during the washing process we most often use programs that do not consume a large amount of water. This means that the draining process is still completed quickly. A different matter is represented by another working stage - rinsing. It consumes quite a lot of water, and a pump that is broken is not able to quickly pump it out to drain. Most of the liquid is drained, but the washing machine manages to freeze without starting the process of spinning the laundry.

If you are familiar with these faults, check the pump first.The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• The tray for detergents is removed from the Ardo washing machine;
• the device tilts to the left side;
• the screws securing the pallet are unscrewed;
• the pipe and sleeve of the drainage system are disconnected from the pump;
• the pump is disassembled, cleaned of dirt, and the condition of its impeller is checked;
• The resistance value is measured using a multimeter.

The problem is caused by faulty sensors

Other reasons why the electric motor stops working normally are associated with the tachometer. This small device, resembling a ring, is located on the motor. With its help, the number of engine revolutions is determined and controlled. If there is a breakdown in it, then the control module will not be able to influence the performance of the motor, which will entail certain failures of the specified program.

Checking the tachometer is determined with a multimeter. The resistance value is measured, and the electrical wiring suitable for the sensor and terminals is checked. The wiring has a thin cross-section, breaks or is easily damaged, and when this happens, the tachometer stops performing its functions.

In addition to this element, the sensor responsible for the water level in the Ardo washing machine may fail. They call it a pressure switch. In such a situation, the washing machine freezes immediately after rinsing, and the spinning process does not begin.To make sure that the problem lies precisely in the pressure switch, try to activate the spin process separately, no matter what washing program is set, and see how correctly the washing machine performs it. If everything happens normally, then we can confidently assume that the breakdown lies in the water control sensor.

It is possible to access the pressure switch in the Ardo washing machine through the top panel of the housing. After removing the cover, you will see a round device made of plastic material, to the terminals of which electrical wires are connected. This is a sensor that monitors the liquid level. It is necessary to check it with a multimeter, blow out the tubes, and, if necessary, replace it with a new analogue.

Checking the management module

They happen quite rarely, but they do happen, and you will have to try to identify their presence. If everything is in order with the wiring, we recommend inviting an experienced specialist to help, since checking the electronic board yourself can result in serious financial losses. Please note that this part should not be replaced immediately. It is likely that the technician will check it and fix the problem.

Some useful tips

Try to prevent the occurrence of malfunctions rather than bring the matter to repair work.To do this, it is proposed to follow some simple rules:

1. before loading laundry into the drum, check the contents of its pockets for foreign objects;
2. install the washing machine and connect it in accordance with the operating instructions;
3. Wash linen with decor in special bags;
4. load things in accordance with the established norm. Otherwise, the washing machine will be subject to rapid wear and tear and perform poor washing;
5. use a voltage stabilizer to protect household appliances from sudden breakdowns;
6. Clean the drain filter and washing powder tray regularly;
7. Leave the hatch door open after washing to prevent the appearance of mold and mildew.
