Automatic washing machines can greatly facilitate the life of a housewife. Today, such devices are available in almost every home. In their manufacture, the most modern technologies are usually applied. Therefore, such household appliances are reliable enough. However, sometimes cars nevertheless break down, require replacement or washing of some parts. For example, it may be a filter for a washing machine that needs periodic cleaning.
If it becomes clogged, the automation can start to work intermittently or even stop altogether. In this case, the filter must be cleaned. This is not too difficult to do. The first thing to do is open the false panel in front of the machine. Behind it is a decorative filter cover, which must be unscrewed. Then, a filter for the washing machine is removed from the opening and cleaned. After cleaning, all operations are performed in the reverse order - they insert the filter, tighten the lid and put the panel in place.
In addition to cleaning the filter, sometimes you need to clean it yourself
have a washing machine. To get rid of scale, they use antiscale (acid-containing agent) - a drug specially developed for these purposes. Do not confuse it with a conventional water softener. Cleaning the washing machine is as follows. Water is poured into the apparatus, into which antiscale is added. Then wash without laundry.
Sometimes the washing machine may stop due to malfunction of the power strip. The main objective of this structural element is to protect the electronics of the machine from sudden surges in voltage. If this part fails, the machine will not work. However, you can fix this problem in two ways. It is enough to remove the surge protector for the washing machine in general. Automation perfectly copes with the task and without it. This, incidentally, is the only part in the washing machine that can not be changed to a new one and not repaired.
But, of course, all manipulations must be carried out correctly, in compliance with the relevant safety regulations. Consider this process using the Candy
brand washing
machine as an example. The filter is usually located in the back of the housing, at the top. It is a cylindrical part of gray or beige color. In order to access it, you need to remove the top cover of the washing unit by unscrewing several screws. The filter for the washing machine is carefully removed and pulled out of the housing.
Now you will need to get the wires connecting it to the machine. The yellow wire is grounding, it is left as is, the rest must be connected in pairs, after crimping the ends with pliers. Blue is twisted with green, light brown with dark brown. The joints are wrapped with electrical tape. Then the wires are secured with a bundle inside the housing. Everything, the filter for the washing machine is removed. It remains only to check the resistance. To do this, connect the tester to the plug of the machine and start it in any mode by pressing the corresponding button. The device must show a resistance of at least 2 ohms.
