When you throw laundry into the wash, set the program, press Start, it happens that the washing machine freezes... It also happens that the washing machine washes for too long... or suddenly does not turn off... Of course, it is better to contact a repairman
There could be several reasons for this. Let's monitor the program's execution. Let's look at the main ones:
- If the water filling process is taking too long, causing the washing machine to take longer to wash (and this does happen), there's a chance the machine is working properly but there's no water supply, a kinked tube, or a closed water inlet valve. Check this.
- The same process can be delayed by clogged filters or the suction tube, which can result in a weak water flow. You can clean the filters and screens yourself, but consult a professional.
- Water intake may also take a long time if the water inlet valve is faulty. In this case, water simply stops flowing into the machine, or flows very weakly if the diffuser isn't fully open. To fix this problem, have the inlet valve replaced.
- Is your washing machine taking longer to wash, delaying the drain? The main cause could be clogged drain membranes or a clogged hose. You can, of course, rinse and clean the filter yourself, but have a professional blow out the hoses.
- Sometimes the washing machine doesn't start washing, but instead refills and drains. It's possible the connection to the sewer system is improper; if this happens, water drains out of the washing machine and then fills up again. Why does the washing machine take so long to wash with this problem? The water doesn't have time to heat up to the required temperature. You should contact a professional to have the connection corrected.
- The same malfunction occurs when the water filling sensor (pressure switch) fails. The machine does not receive information that the water level is sufficient, so it fills and drains again.
- Water fills and drains repeatedly due to a faulty water inlet valve. This is often the reason why Bosch washing machines take a long time to wash. This valve will need to be replaced.
- Washing can take longer than expected due to the water heating process. This is most often caused by heavy scale buildup on the heating element, which requires cleaning.
If the heating sensor is faulty, the machine's "brain" receives incorrect data, causing the heating process to increase. A new thermostat is needed.- If the washing machine stops or displays an error during heating, this means that the heating element has burned out.
- If the “freezing” occurs periodically, and then the washing continues, the problem is in the failure of the electrical module or the programmer. Solution: replace or repair the control board.
- It is also possible that you have experienced a power failure and the washing machine control module may have burned out, which is why the washing machine’s “brains” need to be repaired or replaced.
