Faults of the Veko washing machine

May 7, 2020

Like any other technique, VEKO equipment is not eternal, and breaks, as usual, at the most inopportune moment. Washing machines are no exception. It is accepted to consider, that VEKO equipment is not equipped with high-quality components, such as the management fee, temperature sensors, relay. Let's consider, which is a washing machine VEKO, and its main faults.

Classification of breakdowns

All malfunctions of washing machines are conditionally divided into two groups - external and internal. The first group includes those, which appeared as a result of mechanical action and are connected with disturbance of integrity of the case:

  • cracks in the hatch glass,
  • scratches and dents on the case,
  • breakdown of washing mode switches, hatch handles, etc.

There are many problems with the internal malfunctions of the VEKO washing machine, related to the electronic control of the unit and various mechanisms.

Common problems and ways to solve them

If you take into account the experience of masters of service centers, then the fact becomes obvious, that VEKO washing units are most prone to the following types of breakdowns:

  • clogging of the drain system or breakage of the pump;
  • failure of electronic systems and modules;
  • breakdown of water heating elements;
  • flow of waterways;
  • malfunction of electric motors, drive belt breaks;
  • the presence of extraneous noise during operation.

Some of them can be fixed yourself, even without special knowledge. Let's consider some examples of malfunctions and ways of their elimination.

Bad water drain

Let's say, there was a problem with the water drain. It is known, that waste water after washing has many impurities and organic contaminants (hair, particles of matter, etc.). Let's add items to this, accidentally left in clothing pockets. And for that, whatever dirt accumulates in the pump, a filter is installed in its path, which is clogged and impermeable to water. And you can solve this problem as follows:

  • you should find a drain filter in the car (it is located at the bottom);
  • unscrew its cover, pre-substituting a container for draining water;
  • remove the filter, rinse the part under running water;
  • without installing a filter, check the functionality of the drain pump;
  • install the filter element in place.

vibration of the unit

Example, during operation of the washing unit, especially when squeezing, the car begins to vibrate strongly and jump in different directions. First of all, you should pay attention to the weight of the machine. If it is exceeded, such vibration is possible. Others, what you need to pay attention to is the correct adjustment of the support legs of the unit. They must be set by level, so that the car does not sway. in addition, when installing the unit it is recommended to use special anti-vibration stands.

Poor water supply

If you noticed, that water is collected more slowly, than usual in the tank of the washing machine, primarily, check that the feed hose filter is not clogged. To do this, unscrew the water supply hose itself, remove the filter, and rinse it under running water. Replace the filter, and check the operation of the unit.

I would like to warn, that not all problems can be solved on their own. This often happens, that for elimination of breakage it is necessary to address to experts for the help - the unqualified approach to repair can only harm the unit.

Common causes of malfunctions

Considering all malfunctions of VEKO washing units, it is worth noting, that more than other parts they are exposed to the drain system and pump. This is happening, usually, due to the ingress of foreign objects and clogging of the hoses. During operation of this unit, extra items often get into the drum, which cause malfunctions. The unit may not gain much speed, extraneous noise appears, drum beats, high vibration. But such "symptoms" can also be caused by bearing wear. In this case, the operation of the washing machine becomes unstable, and to eliminate breakage it is necessary to address to the master.

The number one enemy of "washing machines" is hard water, flowing through water pipes. Because of this water in the hoses formed lime deposits, which interfere with the stable operation of the drain system. in addition, lime is deposited on the heating element, which significantly impairs its functioning, and then completely disables it. That this did not happen, you need to periodically clean the washing machine from scale and use special tools, example, The rest. When operating the machine, water often gets on electronic controls, causing them problems. Such cases are accompanied by smoke, the unit may spark when switched on, the indication disappears or the car simply does not turn on at all.
