Repair of Mabe washing machines is not too frequent, they are famous for their high quality and low level of factory defects. But external factors also affect the operability of the washer, so malfunctions do happen.
Owners of Mabe washing machines will find a lot of useful things in this article:
- Overview of typical mabe washing machine malfunctions.
- Error codes to help the user.
- Self repair of typical breakdowns.
Overview of Common Mabe Malfunctions
Having collected statistics from service centers of the Russian Federation, we can conclude that the most frequent breakdowns in washing machines of the Mabe brand are the following:
- Constantly burning, all or several lamps on the control panel flash. The display lights up all the time.
- Leakage in the Mabe washing machine: water went from below. Damaged hose or leaking from the hatch.
- The noise of the machine during washing, or rather - during the collection and discharge of water.
- CM does not start, does not respond to the “ON” button.
- The machine does not warm water.
Note! The last 2 malfunctions are typical for all cars, regardless of brand, so we will not consider them separately.
Mabe washing machine error codes
Error codes also come to the aid of the user when problems are detected: d01, d03, d10 and others. If the instruction manual for the Mabe washing machine (Maybi) has long been lost, then you can decrypt the trouble codes according to our table.
We will consider the most common codes specific to this brand.
Code | Explanation |
d01 | The washing machine does not flood. |
d03 | Water does not warm in the drum. |
d10 | The machine immediately drains the water from the tank. |
ER12 | The sunroof is not tightly closed. |
F04 | With an error F04, the AGR does not turn on. |
Self repair of breakdowns
Repairing a Mabe washing machine with your own hands is quite possible if it comes to light breakdowns and malfunctions of moderate severity. In case of serious problems, you should contact the master. For jobs such as replacing bearings or repairing a control board, it’s best not to save.
Troubleshooting leaks in the Mabe washing machine
Important! The first thing to do is to de-energize the washing machine.
It is easiest to repair leaks without calling a wizard. The main thing is to find the place of rupture or deformation through which water flows. Usually occur:
- Place the powder cuvette.
- Cuff seal.
- Drain hose.
- Water inlet hose.
- Tank (pi cause depressurization).
- Oil seal
If the hoses are flowing
Typically, hoses tend to leak at their junctions with the SMA housing and communication systems. In this case, the failure can be easily eliminated - tighten the clamps more tightly, and seal the hose seats with sealant.
In more complex cases, it is worth changing the gasket or replacing the entire hose in case of severe deformation or rupture.
Powder hopper
Many powders dissolve poorly due to poor quality, improper dosage, or uneven water supply. This provokes the formation of smudges under the dispenser cover - sometimes they drain down to the floor. A similar result is due to the high pressure in the water supply and the breakdown of the filler valve.
Sealing cuff
The adjacent cuff wall could become worn and damaged over time. If the damage is modest, then you can apply a special rubber patch (as for bicycles or inflatable boats). After gluing the hole, you need to turn the cuff so that the defect is at the top.
To do this, it will be necessary to remove the clamp securing the cuff to the drum. Using a thin screwdriver, pick up the clamp, slide the screwdriver along the axis, remove the mount - now you can work with the cuff.
Filler pipe
This handset is located directly below the upper panel of the AGR. It connects the water inlet valve to the powder cuvette. If the pipe is worn out and you find damage to it in the form of cracks and holes, replace it.
Branch pipe of a gulf of water in a tank
As a rule, this element is seated on glue, but if smudges appeared under it, you need to remove the pipe, rinse and dry it. When installing the pipe in place, it is worth using a similar water-repellent glue.
Stuffing box
The oil seal carries its service in very difficult conditions of high temperature, aggressive environment and strong pressing loads. Therefore, over time, it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to ensure tightness.
If a leak was found on the tank, in a place under the gland itself, then you need to change it.
Tank
Over time, cracks and even whole holes can appear in the tank. Changing the tank is an expensive pleasure, so it's better to think about buying a new washing machine.
CM tank drain
This element performs a connecting function between the tank and the drain pump. It can be clogged with garbage and even small particles of linen. Clamps securing the nozzle may also stretch. Fasteners can be tightened by treating the seat with sealant.
If you find defects in the pipe, it is better to replace it with a new one.
Drain pump
It will be difficult to carry out repairs yourself, so entrust the replacement of the pump to a good master.
Mabe washing machine noise
Causes of noise may be:
- Unequal stacking of linen caused an imbalance inside the drum.
- Damaged shock absorbers or springs.
- Counterweight mounts are loose or there is damage.
Important! The washing machine must be unplugged. Unplug the power plug from the outlet.
Unbalance underwear
If you accidentally put the laundry in the drum not too evenly, the tank may begin to sway, especially when spinning. If you have a vertical washing machine, then everything is simple - you can open the drum, lay out the laundry and continue the program.
In modern cars, as a rule, there is no such problem - they themselves are able to distribute linen.
Springs and shock absorbers
The shock-absorbing system in combination with the springs is responsible for the reliability of the tank installation in the housing. It is she who dampens the vibration.
If the shock absorber or spring is deformed due to the long service life, then the tank warps and a knock starts on the machine due to the contact of some moving parts of the machine.
You need to immediately turn off the AGR, replace the failed element.
Counterbalance Issues
In many models of Mabe washing machines, heavy concrete balances are provided, the task of which is to stabilize the position of the machine during the spin cycle. If the fasteners are weakened, the load is not securely fastened and begins to hit the body, causing noise.
In the best case, you just have to tighten the mount. At worst, replace the counterweight. Fortunately, this is an inexpensive item.
All lamps on the control panel flash
If when you turn on the SMA, you see that several or all indicators are blinking at once, it means that this is a breakdown of the control unit. It fails most often due to power surges.
It is difficult to diagnose a breakdown, so the diagnosis, repair or replacement of the electronic control module should be entrusted to the master.
As you can see, many breakdowns of Mabe washers are easy to fix yourself, but be careful and always follow safety precautions!
