Analysis of common troubleshooting methods for Whirlpool washing machines

The quality of Whirlpool washing machines has been recognized by consumers and industry insiders, but this does not mean that Whirlpool washing machines will not have any malfunctions. Let’s learn some about Whirlpool washing machine repair methods and common fault codes. Let's analyze the content knowledge. Analysis of common fault codes of Whirlpool washing machines f1: Poor contact of the water level sensor e1: Drainage timeout, check whether the drain pipe is blocked or safety switch failure e2: The upper cover is not covered e3: The dehydration is unbalanced, shake the clothes again and then dehydrate e4 : Water inlet timeout, check the water pressure, whether the inlet valve is dirty or not e5: The water temperature exceeds 50 degrees 'pf'——power failure 'fl'——flood condition The water level in the bucket is too high 'lf'——long fill in The water time is too long. (10 minutes) 'ce'——communications error signal disorder (cannot recognize computer board instructions) 'ld'——long drain draining time is too long Whirlpool washing machine repair method When washing, the motor is running normally in forward and reverse directions, but the pulsator can only One-way reverse rotation, no forward rotation Analysis and maintenance: This fault is due to the deformation of the clutch pawl fork or the adjustment screw is screwed too deep, so that the pawl working position cannot be in place, resulting in the washing shaft and the dehydration shaft not being separated under the washing state. To. Maintenance method: When the working position of the clutch pawl is not in place, the square wire clutch spring cannot be loosened, so that the washing shaft and the dehydration shaft are held tightly by the clutch spring, and the dehydration shaft is held tightly by the brake belt in the washing state. When the clutch pulley rotates clockwise, it cannot drive the pulsator to rotate. When the clutch pulley reverses counterclockwise, it is not only the loosening direction of the clutch square wire clutch spring, which separates the washing shaft from the dehydration shaft; it is also the tightening direction of the clutch spring, and the dehydration shaft is still held by the brake band. The wheels can rotate in reverse. First adjust the adjustment screw appropriately to make the gap between the pawl fork and the brake lever within the normal range. If the pawl fork is deformed and damaged, the pawl fork can be repaired and corrected. In severe cases, the pawl fork must be replaced to solve the problem. . The washing machine does not start analysis and maintenance: l. Whether the socket meets the requirements and whether the contact is good. 2. Whether the door is closed tightly and whether the micro-delay switch is in good contact. 3. The motor plug-in wire is in poor contact or the motor is broken. 4. Whether the start button is pressed (the light is always on after the start/pause button is activated), and there is a buzzer prompt. 5. Whether the faucet is turned on. Maintenance method: 1. Check the power plug and socket to make them in good contact. 2. Check whether the micro-delay switch is in good condition when the power is on. If it is good, it is a contact problem, and the plug-in wire should be clamped. 3. Clamp the motor plug-in cable or replace the motor. 4. Press the start/pause button again. 5. Turn on the faucet and re-select the program to start. Analysis and maintenance of no water in the washing machine: 1. Improper operation or low water pressure (less than 0.05Mpa), etc. 2. Whether the door is closed tightly and whether the micro-delay switch is in good contact. 3. Malfunction of the water inlet solenoid valve. 4. The water level switch is faulty. Maintenance method: 1. Recheck: (l) Whether the water tap is open; (2) Whether the water inlet pipe is bent or blocked; (3) Whether the solenoid valve is blocked; (4) Whether the program indication position is accurate; (5) Whether the water pressure is too high low. 2. Check if the contact between the door hook and the door lock is good, adjust if it is bad; check if the micro-delay switch is in good condition when the power is on. 3. Check if the solenoid valve is in good condition after power-on, and tighten it again. 4. There should be a clicking sound when the water level switch is blown by the mouth. When the program enters the washing state, the motor rotates normally, but the pulsator does not rotate. Analysis and maintenance: This fault mostly occurs in the mechanical transmission part between the motor and the pulsator. Maintenance method: 1. The fastening screws of the motor pulley, clutch pulley and pulsator are loose, slippery or broken. Just re-tighten or replace the fastening screws; if the square hole of the pulsator is rounded, the pulsator must be replaced. 2. The V-belt slips or falls off. Just increase the distance between the motor and the clutch appropriately and rub some rosin powder on the V-belt to increase the friction. If the V-belt is aging and deformed, replace the V-belt. 3. The parts of the clutch deceleration mechanism are worn or damaged. Generally, the clutch assembly must be replaced.
