Malfunctions of Mabe washing machines

Even high-quality washing machines can break down over time. For example, when the drum moves quickly, strong vibration may occur. In this case, replacing the bearings will solve the problem. Let's look at the typical problems and error codes that the Mabe washing machine produces. We'll tell you why breakdowns occur and how to fix them.

If the machine shows a combination of letters and numbers, the first thing to do is reboot it.

Sometimes the program crashes. Unplug from the outlet. Let stand for 15 minutes. Then you can plug the machine into the network. If the inscription on the Mabe display disappears, then start washing. Otherwise, repairs are required.

Error codes - their causes and solutions

The diagnostic system displays fault codes on the Mabe machine screen.

Error d01

It indicates that there is no water in the tank or that a program failure has occurred. What are the reasons:

1. Problems with the machine control unit. You won't be able to solve the problem yourself unless you replace it with a new one. To diagnose the failure, it is recommended to contact a specialist.
2. The machine's filler pipe is clogged or damaged. It's worth watching.
3. The inlet hose is clogged. It needs to be cleaned, then the problem will be solved.
4. Filter mesh clogged. It is also worth removing blockages.
5. Mabe machine fill valve is broken. If it cannot be repaired, install a new one.

Error d02

Indicates that the Mabe machine is not draining fluid. This happens due to a pressure switch error or due to a network break. How to fix the problem:

• cleaning the drain filter;
• testing the functioning of the sensor, which is responsible for pressure indicators;
• assessment of the functioning of the electronic controller.

Code d03

Indicates that the washing water does not warm up to the required temperature. What to do:

1. Conduct a test and understand how the temperature sensor works.
2. Diagnose the operation of the heating element; if scale has formed on it, remove it using special liquids. It is strictly forbidden to scrape it off with a sharp knife or blade, as the insulation of the device will be damaged.
3. Check the wiring of all connections involved in the process.

d04

Indicates a breakdown of the electronic controller triac. No amount of repair will solve the problem. Option one is to buy and install a working device.

d07

To fix a breakdown of the Mabe washing equipment, you will need to open the hatch and close it again, then start the washing program. Inspect the slot that the lock fits into. There may be a foreign object there. Check the UBL chain and replace it if necessary. It is also a good idea to check the condition of the door hinges on your Mabe machine. They may become loose or bent.

d10

The amount of water in the tank is higher than optimal. Check the cold water pressure from the tap. If it is strong, this was the cause of the error.Also look at the sensor that controls the fluid. If it breaks, buy a new one.

d17

Indicates a breakdown of the parking sensor, stretcher or nipple of the electric motor belt. What to do:

1. Disassemble Mabe washing equipment, inspect the motor.
2. If the belt comes off, return it to its original position.
3. If it is stretched or completely damaged, purchase a serviceable one.
4. Then check the parking sensor for damage.

d21

Problems with the electronic controller. You cannot test it yourself because you will need special tools. stextbox id=’info’ bgcolor=’c9d2f5′ bgcolorto=’fafafa’ image=’null’]A specialist can repair the washing machine.[/stextbox]

ER12

Indicates that the hatch door does not fit tightly. Open it and check to see if clothing has gotten caught under the cuff. Close it and launch the Mabe machine program.

F01

Water does not fill. How to resolve the error:

• check whether the hose through which the liquid enters the machine is connected correctly;
• open the tap with cold water, it happens that it was simply turned off;
• find out if the solenoid valve is working;
• Check the condition of the pipe and clean it if necessary.

stextbox id=’info’ bgcolor=’c9d2f5′ bgcolorto=’fafafa’ image=’null’]Experts advise cleaning it by soaking it in a special product and then cleaning it with a brush.[/stextbox]

F02

The water does not drain and the drum of the Mabe machine does not spin. It is recommended to check the wiring; if the contacts are oxidized, clean them. If a break is detected, repair it.

F03

The washing machine drum does not rotate. First of all, check the motor and all its parts. Assess the condition of the belt and the degree of wear of the brushes. Remove any accumulated dirt from the motor. Ring the wiring.Also test the functionality of the Mabe machine's central board. You may need to reflash or replace it.

F04

The washing mashine won't start. Check if there is power. The mains voltage sometimes does not correspond to the technical performance of washing equipment. Find out if the network filter is working. You need to unscrew the bolts, remove the cover and put it in working condition.

F05-10

The codes indicate problems in the Mabe machine's central control unit. The operating instructions indicate that you need to call a specialist.

Basic problems

Let's look at common breakdowns and the reasons for their occurrence.

If the machine vibrates a lot

The bearing or its seal may be worn out. The washing machine is functioning worse and worse; dirt forms on the laundry during the spin cycle. Mabe technique bounces. In this case, the parts will need to be replaced with serviceable ones.

If the machine squeaks

If during the washing period or during spinning at high speeds a whistling sound or squeaking sound is made, check the drive belt. All Mabe washing equipment models have a belt drive. There are two ways out:

• if it comes off, return it to its original position;
• If it's broken or torn, buy a working one and install it.

Jumps occur when washing or spinning

In most cases, this does not indicate a breakdown. Sometimes the counterweight becomes loose or the bearings deteriorate. Consider other reasons first:

• check whether the washing mashine is level using a building level;
• If there is an imbalance in the drum, stop working and lay the laundry evenly;
• Also, too little clothing can cause jumps.

Slow fluid flow

The inlet valve is responsible for drawing in water. To prevent large abrasive particles from penetrating into the machine, the part is protected from the outside with a mesh. Clearing it is simple:

• unscrew the plastic nut by hand;
• disconnect the hose from the water supply, first turning off the water;
• inspect for blockages;
• clean under the tap.

Also, the cause of poor water supply is a clogged plastic filter plug. It is recommended to remove it with pliers and clean it under the tap.

Water does not heat up

There are 2 explanations for this - a malfunction of the tubular heater or temperature sensor. You will need to disassemble the washing machine and check the device and heating element, measure the resistance.

Leaks

The problem occurs at the connection between the hose and the top-loading washing machine and communication system. The clamps should be tightened more firmly and sealant should be applied to these areas. For more serious problems, replace the seal or the entire hose if it is damaged. Other leaks:

1. The powder receiver hopper is leaking. Some products dissolve poorly due to their quality, incorrect volume of items or uneven water flow. Due to this, smudges form under the dispenser lid. The exact same thing happens due to too much pressure and a faulty fill valve.
2. The pipe to the tank is attached using glue. Sometimes smudges appear underneath, then the part is removed and dried. When installing in its original place, use water-repellent glue.
3. The oil seal is required at very high temperatures, heavy loads and aggressive environments. Gradually it begins to become damaged and leak. Needs replacement with a working one.
4. The machine seal is damaged.Over time, the cuffs wear out. If the damage is not serious, apply a piece of rubber. Then turn the seal so that the sealed hole is at the top. To do this, remove the clamp with which the cuff is attached to the drum.
5. Cracks appear in the tank, sometimes large holes. Changing it is not a cheap pleasure. It makes more sense to purchase a new Mabe machine.
6. Filler channel pipe. The tube is located above the top panel of the washing machine and serves as a connector between the liquid fill valve and the powder cuvette. If it is worn out, it needs to be replaced.
