Hi TAB,

great that I can write in english

There was a lot of water in the machine when it stopped. And of course all clothes were very wet. I took out them and decided to check lint filter. It wasn't clogged. This way I removed part of water, but it was cumbersome and time-absorbing. Then I decided to look for some manual, I wanted to check what means that LEDs blinking. When I was searching, my girlfriend just set that Programmwahl wheel to Schleudern sign in Bunt range and the washing machine started and removed all remaining water.
When it ended, I tried to start it again and it doesn't work. Now are such a symptoms:
1. after pressing Ein/Aus button Ein LED is on, Start LED is blinking,
2. pressing Start button causes the Waschen LED to switch on,
3. after few seconds Waschen, Spulen, Schleudern/Abpumpen start blinking together.

Independently in which position are both wheels. All I can hear is couple of sounds like some switching of relay or like when flap blockade is released in 3 minutes after washing.

Additional info, I don't know if it is related to that defect. Since long time it was possible to hear a sound when the drum was spinning. That sound was like... it reminds me of some small metal element e.g. screw lying on something also made of metal and that quavers. Then that small element softly knocks That sound wasn't continuous, even when the drum was spinning.

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

sounds like blocked or clogged hose to the pressure switch.

Unplug the washer from mains, remove the top cover, find the switch, unplug the hose, take it your mouth and give it a good "blowjob" until you can hear it bubbling down in the machine. Then re-plug the hose to the pressure switch and try again.

If it now works, follow the hose and then remove all other hoses in the area it ends,and clean them thoroughly.

Regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

it sounds easy to fix Thanks for the instructions.
This washing machine is top loaded and I see screws on the left side, so I will try to remove left cover and try to find that pressure switch. Unfortunately now I don't have big enough Torx. I have to wait until Monday. Then I will report the result
The only thing I'm afraid is that overload with clothes, so I suppose it may be something more serious.

Best regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

constant overload will result in damaged drum bearings or worn vibration dampers. The sound you hear may result in a lost wire of an underwire bra. If you have removed the rear cover, you can try to unmount the heater rod in the bottom of the tub, try to find the Geoffrey through this hole with a torch and then try to snag it out e.g.with a modified wire hanger.

Regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I checked that hose of switch. When I took that left side cover, it was too hard to unplug hose from the switch end, it is tight plugged and there is no good access. I unplugged it from the other side, at the bottom of drum. I pressed it alongside trying to feel if there is something inside. It was so thin that I suppose I could feel even limescale, but there was nothing. I also blew faintly into that hose and I hear that pressure switch ticks, first when I started and second time when I moved away my mouth. It seems not to be clogged.

I also checked the hose which water comes into the machine, also not clogged.

When I tried to run the machine again, I set Bunt 30 degress washing. After pressing start button, when the Waschen LED was on, I could hear a noise, like when the machine starts to take water. But it was only about 1 second long and Ablauf three LEDs started blinking.
It seems that it is really some problem with that pressure switch or water source. Alternatively something with controller.

Any ideas what I could do? Or now only professional service...

Best regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

seems to get more hardcore

Check the carbon brushes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_r8d93xPYw&NR=1

Check the tacho generator https://forum.electronicwerkstatt.d......html

Perhaps the magnet ring is broken (another possible solution for the noise you have heard)

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

one person also told me that I should change carbon brushes. He was almost sure that this is a problem. I wonder how is it related? Because the washing machine does't start with running motor. It wants water first. It always took a few seconds. Or maybe there is some test procedure at the beginning, where all the components are somehow checked before running? But it is 14 years old machine...

Best regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

that's a memory function. You can reset it by pulling out the plug of the socket, and wait for a few minutes.

Regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

machine works!
Unfortunately I didn't repair it myself. I was very busy this week, studies, job... and my girlfriend was impatient. She called for service. And the problem was with carbon brushes, as you told. It’s only a pity that it costed about 50 Eur ( quite a lot for polish student )

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Pavel
