Why won't my Samsung vacuum cleaner turn on and what can I do about it?

A reliable assistant, a device without which it is impossible to carry out high-quality cleaning in the house - the Samsung vacuum cleaner at some point stopped turning on.

The first reaction is confusion. What to do in such a situation? Should I call a professional or can I solve the problem myself?

In fact, nothing bad happened. It is possible to restore the functionality of a household appliance on your own, the main thing is to carefully study the information about what reasons may provoke the problem of the vacuum cleaner not turning on and how to eliminate them.

Why the Samsung vacuum cleaner does not turn on, turns off immediately after turning on, smells of burning, we will explain further.

What is the reason that the device stopped turning on?

There are many factors that can provoke the problemwhen the Samsung vacuum cleaner does not turn on:

1. There is no voltage (the lights in the house are turned off, the voltage in the electrical panel is lost, the socket is out of order).
2. Kink, break in the power cord, breakage of the plug (particular attention is paid to attaching the cord to the body of the household appliance - the place where the contacts are most often frayed).
3. The power button has failed (in some models of the vacuum cleaner, the power button on the body is duplicated by a button on the handle. By turning on the device alternately with different buttons, you can determine which of them requires replacement).
4. The engine has burned out (sparks, if there is a smell of burning, rapid heating of the housing of the household appliance indicates that the problem of the household appliance not turning on is related to the motor).

What should you check first?

The first thing to do in a situation where the Samsung vacuum cleaner does not turn on is to check the outlet.

You can carry out diagnostics in several ways:

1. Plug in any household appliance (for example, a table lamp). If the device works, the socket is working, the search for the cause of the malfunction continues.
2. Plug the Samsung vacuum cleaner into a different outlet. The device is working - we repair the faulty socket; if not, we continue to search for the reason for the vacuum cleaner not turning on.

For those who understand at least a little about electrics, a multimeter or an indicator screwdriver will help check the serviceability of the socket and the voltage.

In order to carry out diagnostics with a multimeter, the tester must be turned on to the “AC voltage” mode, set the switch to 750 W, and insert two probes into the socket holes. If the socket is working properly, the voltage indicators in the network will appear on the multimeter display.

Simplified testing option - using an indicator screwdriver. Plug it into the socket and see if the red light comes on. If the red indicator lights up, the socket is working properly and there is voltage in the network.

If no problems are found with the supply of voltage to the network, it is necessary to clean the dust collector, filter and suction hose (overheating is a common reason for the vacuum cleaner turning off). A red indicator light on the body of the household appliance and a strong hum are signals that the filter system requires cleaning.

Additionally, check the integrity of the power cord and plug. The elements are carefully inspected for tears, scorched areas, and kinks. A multimeter will help you check for breaks inside the power cord.

Repair

One of the reasons why a Samsung vacuum cleaner does not turn on is a broken button. Over time, the button mechanism wears out and it ceases to perform its functions. The solution to the problem is to replace the faulty button.

Algorithm of actions:

• Unscrew the bolts in the upper part of the housing, remove the cover with the handle;
• remove the dust container and fine filter;
• touch the multimeter probes to the button terminals;
• press the button; if the resistance readings have not changed, the button is replaced with an element similar in technical parameters.

Another, quite serious reason why the vacuum cleaner does not turn on is a motor breakdown.

You can test the engine as follows:

1. The vacuum cleaner has already been partially disassembled, the casing and insulating covers are removed from the electric motor.
2. The engine is carefully inspected for burnt elements or broken contacts, and the dust is swept away with a soft brush.
3. Check the motor brushes.Erased elements are replaced using graphite brushes of similar sizes.
4. Using a multimeter, test the motor winding. If testing confirms possible ruptures, the engine must be replaced.

To prevent a situation where the vacuum cleaner turns on and immediately turns off, you must carefully monitor the cleanliness of the filters, empty the dust container on time, and do not use the household appliance for more than thirty minutes. If cleaning requires more time, the vacuum cleaner must be turned off for five to ten minutes every half hour. You can find out how to clean the filter here.

If the Samsung robot vacuum cleaner does not turn on

The first thing to do if the robot vacuum cleaner does not turn on is recharge the battery. To do this, install the device on the base (at the same time, check the integrity of the power cord plug and the correct installation of the robot on the podium). The red indicator lights up - the robot has started charging.

The white color of the indicator is a signal that charging is complete, and the robot vacuum cleaner can be put into operation again. The device must clearly perform all functions and respond to commands from the control panel.

If recharging the battery does not lead to the desired result, It is worth paying attention to the following possible causes of device malfunction:

• the battery has failed;
• The batteries in the control panel have run out;
• defects in the rubber scraper.

All faulty elements must be replaced. Doing this yourself will not be difficult.It is enough to study the operating instructions for the robot vacuum cleaner and be a little careful and attentive.

Emergency situation - the robot vacuum cleaner is flooded with water. To return the device to operation, it is necessary to remove the dust collector and filter as quickly as possible and dry all the elements thoroughly. Afterwards, the vacuum cleaner is collected and a new cleaning cycle is started.

Call the master

When attempts to independently solve the problem of a Samsung vacuum cleaner not turning on are unsuccessful (even if there is no visible damage, the household appliance still does not work), a professional technician will come to the rescue.

Depending on what exactly caused the vacuum cleaner to not turn on (the exact reason is determined by the technician after diagnostics), repairs can cost from 400 rubles. up to 1500 rub. Additionally, the cost of replaced parts and assemblies will be charged.

Full payment is made only upon completion of repair work, followed by testing of the household appliance. Any demands for full prepayment for repairs that have not yet been completed is a reason to refuse the services of a master!

Conclusion

A Samsung vacuum cleaner won't turn on is not a reason to buy a new household appliance. In some cases, it is enough to take a break from cleaning, clean the dust bag and filter, and the vacuum cleaner is ready for use again.

In a situation where cleaning the vacuum cleaner did not help, if you have minimal knowledge of how a household appliance works, You can carry out diagnostics and repairs yourself. Otherwise, you cannot do without the help of a professional master.
