The work of a master at home always includes diagnosing a problem with a washing machine. We hope our tips will help you figure out the cause of the problem yourself and save on diagnostics costs.
Consider the situation when the washer "communicates" with you. That is, it signals an error. She can do this by flashing indicators or a specific inscription (usually a code from a letter and a number) on the screen. Take a look at the instructions - there should be an error table with which you can determine what is happening.
What to do if the washing machine does not start without displaying an error? The reason can only be found by checking the machine components. If you do not have the appropriate skills, we advise you not to do it with YouTube videos. Call professionals.
How to turn on the washing machine with a program control error
Some errors indicate breakdowns, which can only be eliminated in a service center. Others - for a temporary program crash. In this case, the error can be reset, after which the washing machine will be back in service.
