Washing machine problems: top 5 common breakdowns

There is a puddle under the car. According to experts, most often, water appears under the washing machine due to the accumulation of lint and dirty water in the cuff of the hatch. Check this part to see if it needs to be replaced.

Water remains in the tub after washing. There can be several reasons - a clogged filter or drain hose and a breakdown of the electric drain pump. Either contaminated cleaning parts or urgent repairs will help.

The water in the washing machine does not heat up. Most likely, the temperature sensor (thermistor) or the heating element has broken. It is best to call the master to find out the cause of the breakdown in this case.

During operation, the washing machine is suspiciously noisy. First of all, check the drum. Perhaps some foreign object has got into it. If the external examination does not result, you must call a mechanic.

Control panel malfunction. If the washing machine's control panel starts flashing during operation, it must immediately disconnect the appliance from the power supply. After that, you should call the mechanic.
