Major issues. DIY repair
Consider typical malfunctions, as well as self-repair options for popular CMA models: Hansa Aqua Spray (Hansa Aqua Spray), Hansa Dynamic System, Hansa Comfort, Hansa Optimum (Hansa Optima).
Hans drain system clogging
A clogged drain pipe, filter, or pump can cause poor drainage. It is recommended to clean them to prevent breakdowns. But if you have already noticed a malfunction, then do this:
Pulling out the pump, inspect it: perhaps a thread, a flap of fabric were wrapped around the impeller. Installing the pump for the Hans washing machine is carried out in the reverse order. This simple repair, it is quite possible to do it yourself.
Heating element malfunction
The heater in Hans washing machines quite often fails. This can happen due to sudden changes in voltage in the network. As a result, a short circuit occurs and the element breaks.
Hard, low-quality water causes scale formation. Because of this, the heater overheats and burns.
It is possible to understand that the heater is faulty by external signs. If you notice that when you turn on the SM, the machine in the shield is turned off, or the fuse is blown, the reason may be in the heater.
Another sign - the laundry is poorly washed, a musty smell is felt, since the water does not heat up.
To replace the heater, you need to remove the front panel. How to do this, see above, in the disassembly diagram of the Hansa washing machine.
Before starting work, always unplug the machine!
Do it yourself repair:
- The heater is located at the base of the drum.
- Unclench all wires leading to the heater.
- Loosen the center nut.
- Push the nut in by squeezing the gasket.
- Now you can remove the heater and install a new element.
Malfunction of the Aqua Spray system (Aqua Spray)
The Aqua Spray function in the Hans washing machine allows you to save water and wash clothes more efficiently. Through a special fitting located on top, water under pressure irrigates the laundry, contributing to a better stain removal.
The disadvantage of the system is the narrow path through which water is supplied. If it becomes clogged, a malfunction occurs.
How to fix the situation yourself:
- Removing the top cover, you will find the filler valve.
- The system path is located next to the valve.
- Remove the plugs.
- Gently pour warm water into the hole. If the water leaves poorly, it means that the system is clogged.
- Using a thin wire, clean the path, gradually pouring water.
Have you noticed that the water is quickly leaving? You turned out to fix the malfunction with your own hands.
Hans washing machine malfunction
The modern electronic washing system does not always withstand power surges. The control module protects the malfunctioning filter from the malfunction, which serves as a stabilizer. In the event of a power surge, he takes the whole “blow” on himself.
But it happens that the filter burns out. Then Hans's washing machine may not turn on, and he needs a replacement.
- After removing the top cover, in the upper right corner you will see a filter.
- Unscrew the fixing bolts, rearrange the wires from the damaged filter to a new one.
- Fasten it in place.
It is more difficult if the control module is faulty: an electric circuit is needed to repair it. But in the event of a breakdown, it is better to contact a service center.
