Is Your Washing Machine Going Crazy? Fix Intermittent Electrical Problems!

[@edwardtrickett1983]

Regarding my machine (Beko WTK72011W), all components have tested OK What I am now doing in between loads, is turning the machine off (but still powered) and pressing and holding the start/pause button to reset the programme So far this has meant the machine hasn't stopped like I have experienced so far But as you know yourself, an intermittent fault can be very difficult to diagnose, but at least my machine is continuing to function so far, I am loathed to get rid of it, it is only 2 years old and it should last for a considerably longer amount of time Thank you for responding to me however and giving the advice that you have done and that you continue to do on your channel, you are a credit to your profession

With a compliment like that, I think I need to go and find you the workshop manual. Keep an eye on your chat. I will see what I can find for you

[@How-to-repair]

Okay, hope you're having a good weekend. I've managed to find you a workshop manual on this machine but I do not have your email so if you contact us through the website make sure you address it to me Paul and I can send it over

There's also one useful tip when diagnosing newer washers. Many manufacturers from Electrolux, Bosch all the way to Samsung started cutting costs, so in order to save around 0.5m of copper wire they added the heater to the main power circuit, it used to only contain the PCB and door lock, but now also heater has to be checked if the machine starts doing completely random stuff. So if someone has an issue of washer "constantly clicking" the door lock or the display turns into the disco ball of flashing lights, usually it's not an issue with the PCB or the door lock but with the broken heater unit. If the washer engages the door lock as soon as we connect the mains cable, that's where we know the CPU is dead, and new board has to be ordered.

Checking carbons every couple of years? ... My 2005 Candy's original carbons lasted 15 years, and the machine recently died at 19 (suspected spider failure). I've got a Hisense Inverter now. Bet it won't last 19 years? It's beautifully quiet, and clean! Incidentally, I was surprised to find, unless I'm much mistaken, that the inverter PCB is integrated into the motor itself. There's definitely a PCB at the back of the motor. I've just bought a Spin Dryer, to cut down drying time. Not seen one since my mother's 70s Hoovermatic Washdog Twin Tub!

Yes mate, the general public should be able to maintain their appliances at least for daily use. All I'm trying to do is teach in the correct way that everyone understands. You can support us by donating to our website www.how-to-repair.com/help/buy-paul-a-beer/ I will continue to invest the donations that I receive predominantly into the new video technology that I'm learning with tracking cameras and better audio to make it easier for everyone to understand 🔋

Hello sir. We have an 2008 LG washing machine, front load it gets to the rinse cycle and it doesn't add enough water to clothes. I've watched a few of you video's I took the motherboard out cannot see any apparent damage. I looked at pressure sensor switch blew the line out. Checked all connections. After I was done we ran it. The wife said it put more water in the wash cycle and she said it hasn't done that for a long time. But still not putting enough water in rinse cycle. Would that be the pressure sensor acting up. We are in the rural and our water is a little hard. Thanks

these modern machines give you more trouble than the old machines more reliable than these i will keep my old machine repairer it till i cant get parts 😂😂😂 my machine has oulasted 3 machines of my nabours washing machine still going strong belt driven no inverter crap board to repair more sensors simple things less to go wrong 😂😂😂😂

[@How-to-repair]

Exactly mate. Also, think about the environmental impact of building machines and then recycling them. These machines are often transported halfway around the world, which adds to fuel costs. It's baffling that we need to ship them every five years due to failure.
