How to repair a broken washing machine

This time I will explain how to repair a damaged washing machine such as slow motor rotation or not spinning at all. Now almost all homes use washing machines to wash the clothes of all family members. Understandably people now prefer light work and efficient time. With prices that are not too expensive we can already buy a washing machine that is quite good. If I do not remember correctly, the price of the cheapest washing machine can be below one million (in the range of 1 million). My washing machine at home uses a sanyo washing machine that uses a mechanical timer (not digital).

I have often damaged the washing machine in my house and until now I can still fix it. Almost all the damage that happened to my washing machine was due to mice. Mice are very disturbing rodents. My washing machine was inserted and the cables inside the nest were made. But thanks God, because there is a circuit scheme attached to the machine body, I can reconnect all broken cables.

The entry of mice in the bathroom of my house is actually also my own fault. I was lazy to close the drain pipe which was used as a mouse as a way to enter the bathroom. As a result if the house is left for a few days, the cables from the washing machine will break up. So the washing machine is broken again, the wife is making a fuss again (wkwk..wkk.kk).

But I'm sure the damage to your washing machine is not completely the same as mine. Because the damage to my home washing machine is not pure damage to the machine. But I'm sure the damage that occurs to your machine is electrical damage to the engine.

Maybe how to repair any brand washing machine remains the same. For machines that don't use digital circuits, hopefully you can fix them after reading this article. The parts in the washing machine are simple cuckups. I think it's easy to repair.

The cause of damage to the washing machine. To find out the usual causes, you must be able to recognize the type of damage experienced by your washing machine. The following is an explanation of the symptoms of damage:

• Repair damaged engine speed less tightly. If your machine rotates very slowly, then the cause of damage by the capacitor of the bank. This bank capacitor is an electronic component that looks like a cylindrical tube. In the washing machine, this capacitor is useful to speed up the engine rotation according to the calculation of the frequency of the circuit between the inductor (motor coil) and the capastior. If you don't know what the shape looks like, try to look at the picture below:

• The machine does not turn on or turn on at all. For this error, there are many possible causes. What is certain is most likely due to the supply voltage to the player motor is disconnected. Or it could be because the electric motor is damaged or burned.
• The timer sound is heard but the machine does not turn on. The reason could be that the supply voltage to the motor is cut off or the supply cable on the switching timer does not work properly. Here's a timer image on the washing machine.

• There is a buzzing sound and the smell of angit (only burning objects). This damage is most likely due to the motor coil burning. So that the motor cannot rotate.
• Cannot discharge water. Usually caused by a rope that is connected to the opening valve is interrupted. The drain is connected to the drain faucet, when we turn the faucet will be pulled up and the water will come out.

After getting to know the cause, determine how to repair a damaged washing machine. To repair damage to washing machines, brand sanyo, panasonic, sharp, polytron, LG and all other brands that use mechanical (not digital) controls, the repair is relatively the same.

The steps to repair a damaged washing machine are as follows:

• If the engine speed is less tight then you must replace the bank capacitor with a new one. In one machine there can be one or two bank capacitors. Each of them is for motor washing (washing) and motor drying (dryer). If one capacitor means that the capacitor has four legs (meaning the capacitor has two capacitors). Note and record the capacitance value and maximum voltage of the capacitor. For example: 10 microF, 1000 volts, meaning that the capacitance value is 10 micro farad and the maximum voltage of the capacitor is 1000 volts. If we use 220 volts of electricity, it means that our capacitors remain safe to use. After you record the two values, then look to the electronics component store. If there is no exact same value, you can buy a less value (for example 20 micro farad you replace with 25 microfarads). The price range of this bank capacitor is approximately 25 thousand.
• If the machine doesn't turn on at all. To repair a washing machine that does not turn on at all, do the following: 1). Check the washing machine's power cord, socket and plug. Make sure these parts work properly. 2). Open the washing machine body and check the possibility of a disconnected cable. If there is a cable that is broken, then do the connection (remember the power cable is not connected), connect according to the color of the cable and the circuit scheme.
• If you have checked all the steps above and are still not on, open the hood on the machine and check the timer switching system. Inside the timer there is a plate as a regulator of the tempo of life and death of the machine. If the timer is broken then you just buy it to the component store, the price is not too expensive.
• The timer sound is heard but the machine does not turn on. In this condition your timer may still be good, but there is a voltage supply line to the motor that is broken. Re-check the cable connections.
• To repair the washing machine that buzzes and exits the burning odor is by delivering the electric motor to the dynamo service. Because I am sure you will find it difficult to repair dynamo coils or electric motors.
• If the discharge water does not want to come out, check and repair the opening function of the drain valve. Usually use a rope.

I am sure if you apply the correct method or tips to repair the washing machine above, hopefully your washing machine will be good again. So your wife is not angry anymore because of having to wash clothes by hand. Although I have not seen all the components in each type or brand of washing machines such as sanyo, panasonic, sharp, polytron, LG, but for those without a digital circuit (manual), the washing machine repair tips above can be applied.
