Atlant machine breakdowns: we repair them ourselves

Are Atlant washing machine malfunctions and their elimination your main problem today? Let's look at common failures one by one.

SMA Atlant does not start

If you were unable to turn on the washing machine, then start by checking the outlet, using any other working electrical appliance.

If the socket is working, then proceed to check the surge protector and controller. The entire electrical component of the machine is hidden under the top cover - removing it is easy: just unscrew 2 bolts.

Having found the electrician, check the wiring and terminals - you will notice oxidized or burnt-out components with the naked eye. Having carefully examined everything, arm yourself with a tester and test the network filter and cable. If the cable is faulty, replace it. Often stores offer the cable already complete with a surge protector - if you need to replace both parts, you will save a lot.

If you understand that the problem is not in the electrics, but in the electronics, which is also confirmed by the non-working start button of the washing machine, be prepared for the fact that repairing it yourself in this case is almost impossible. You need a good knowledge of not only the electrical circuit of the Atlant washing machine, but also electronics. It is better to trust a specialist - repairs can be much cheaper than eliminating the consequences after tampering with electronics yourself.

Heating element: self-check and replacement

The Atlant washing machine needs to be partially disassembled. To find the heating element, check it and replace it, follow this scenario:

• Remove the back panel.
• Find the heating element (usually it is located under the drum). First you need the water heater terminals.
• Remove all wires. Remove the terminals from the temperature sensor, if in your case it is built into the heating element itself. In certain models of washing machines, the temperature sensor is not built into the heating element and is installed near it.
• Taking the necessary tool, gradually unscrew the bolt in the center of the shank. Turn the nut just a couple of turns to the left. After that, try to direct it inside the body.

Important! In SMA Atlant it is not always easy to remove the heating element due to damage to the rubber seal. Be patient and proceed carefully.

• Take a slotted screwdriver (minus) and hook the heater by the base. Slowly loosen the part and remove it, pulling it towards you.
• The new heating element is installed in the same way as the old one is removed. Before performing this operation, clear the installation area of ​​debris.

Temperature and level sensors in the Atlant machine: checking and replacement

A breakdown of the water level sensor (pressostat) most often occurs during the intake and drainage of water from the machine. The sensor must inform the controller about the level of water collected so that it stops the collection process and the tank is not overfilled. In the same way, the sensor informs the module that the water has not been drained, so the machine cannot spin the laundry. If the sensor fails, then no signals are sent - you need to check and change the sensor.

Speaking about the failure of the temperature sensor, the trouble is that if it breaks down, the washing machine heats the water too much or, on the contrary, does not heat it at all. You can determine if the sensor is working properly as follows:

1. Remove the back panel and remove the sensor (from the heater or tank, depending on where it is located in your SMA Atlant model).

2. Arm yourself with a tester and check the resistance. After this, immerse the sensor in water and warm it up slightly for a couple of minutes. After heating the temperature sensor, measure the resistance again. If the measurements differ significantly, then everything works as it should (and then the breakdown should be looked for in the heater or controller). If the data is the same, then the sensor needs to be replaced.

Important! When removing the sensor, mark the terminals. While you buy a new one, you can forget where and what it was.

How to fix breakdowns in the drainage and water intake system yourself

If the washing machine has stopped draining waste water, then the first thing that needs to be inspected is the water drain hose, then the filter and drain pump . If small debris gets into the filter, which accumulates there over time, the machine cannot push water through. As a result, this can all end not only in the fact that the water does not drain, but also in the complete stop of the machine’s operation.

That is why it is recommended to check the pockets of clothes before washing.

Cleaning the drain filter should be tightly included in your household chores schedule - this will help protect the CM from breakdowns, blockages and unnecessary expenses for repairs. And cleaning the hose takes no more than two hours. The pump (drain pump) in all Atlant machines is located at the bottom of the body; to get it, you just need to lay the machine on its side and get to the pump from the bottom.

The filter, hose and pump must not only be cleaned of debris and dirt, but also rinsed under running water.

The water intake system is the weak point in the Atlant machine

Speaking of too much water in the drum, the fill valve may be to blame. It is located on the rear panel - it is easy to find because the water intake hose is attached to it on the body.

Before checking the valve, turn off the power to the machine and disconnect it from the water supply, then remove the top panel of the housing. Then you need to remove all the wires and check the valve resistance level with a tester - the indicator should be in the region of 2-4 Ohms. If the values ​​are different, the valve needs to be replaced according to the following scheme:

1. Remove the hoses from the valve by loosening the clamps (memorize, photograph or sketch their location).
2. Remove the bolts holding the valve. If the valve is held in place by the latches, release them.
3. Turn the valve and pull it towards you to remove it.

4. Take a new part, install and reassemble everything in reverse order. Remember, the valve cannot be repaired, so don't waste your time.

Error F5 of Atlant refrigerators

Home › Useful articles

A refrigerator malfunction is an extremely unpleasant thing for its owner. Products begin to deteriorate, especially if the weather is warm, the device leaks ice residue - something needs to be done urgently. The Atlant refrigerator, produced by a Belarusian company, is very popular among our consumers due to its reliability and reasonable price.

But even an old woman can get hurt, as the saying goes. One of the frequent breakdowns in refrigeration devices from Minsk manufacturers is the display of a code: error F5. Let's try to figure out what it is and how to deal with it.

Reasons for the F5 error

For each piece of household appliance, certain conditions have been developed in which it must function normally.

Error F5 in the Atlant refrigerator, which appears in the information display window, indicates that problems have begun with its operation.

Simultaneously with the appearance of the error code, the device, using the electronic control unit, turns off and stops working and does not cool. We list the options by which Atlant ceases to function:

1. The voltage in the electrical network to which the unit is connected is above 255 volts.
2. Insufficient “voltage” in sockets – less than 170 volts.
3. Instability in the network, expressed by pulsed power surges lasting more than four seconds.

Operation of Atlanta, according to the declaration of Belarusian manufacturers, should be carried out in the range of 220-230 W, plus or minus ten percent. When critical indicators occur, the protection is triggered and the refrigerator is turned off, thereby saving the compressor, relay and other important and expensive parts from failure.

What to do?

An eternal question in our area since ancient times. It is necessary to decide whether the owner of the device will be able to troubleshoot error F5 in the Atlant refrigerator. If you have minimal knowledge of electricity, a measuring instrument and a screwdriver, then you can try to solve the problem yourself. You can first consult the Internet on this issue.

Methods for eliminating the occurrence of error F5

There are several options for restoring Atlanta's functionality.

• The most “popular” is unstable operation of the power grid. You should contact the appropriate authority for preventive maintenance.
• Buying a voltage stabilizer is a guaranteed way to prevent errors from occurring, but it requires a decent financial outlay.
• Checking the condition of the contacts in the socket and the grounding elements.

Undoubtedly, the best option would be to call a refrigerator repair specialist to your home, who will quickly diagnose and fix the problem.
