Errors

Modern models of Atlant brand washing machines are equipped with a control panel with an electronic display, on which, during operation of the device, information about the duration, temperature conditions, and washing intensity is displayed.

If the device breaks down, an error code is displayed on the display, which allows the technician to understand which part is not working. In the event of a minor malfunction, such information helps the owner to quickly eliminate it on his own.

It is not difficult to decipher the error code that the Atlant washing machine produces.

Decoding the codes that the washing machine produces

A signal indicating a malfunction of the washing machine is displayed on the display in the form of various icons. There are several types of icons. The words “Sel”, “None”, “Door”, as well as a number of codes starting with the English letter F, may appear on the display.

Sel - what does it mean?

If this word appears on the display, it means that the interface module, the part responsible for recognizing the washing program, is not working.

The problem may have several reasons:

1. Buttons sticking. During prolonged use, dust mixed with washing powder may accumulate under the buttons.
2. Gear selector malfunction.
3. Electronic controller operation error.

With such a problem, there is a risk of a short circuit, so the machine should be immediately disconnected from the network.After 15 minutes, you can try to start the device again.

If the fault was a system failure, the machine will return to normal operation without any additional manipulations. Otherwise, you need to call a specialist.

None

Usually, along with this icon on the display, the owner of the apartment sees foam of washing powder pouring from the drum of the machine. The error literally means that There is too much foam in the drum and there is a risk that it will penetrate the motor or electronic elements of the device, causing a short circuit.

You can fix the problem yourself. To do this, you need to disconnect the device from the mains, manually drain the water through the drain filter, then remove the laundry from the drum and remove any remaining foam.

After this, turn on the machine again, put it in idle mode for rinsing. When the program is completed, you need to remove the filter, rinse it again, and dry it.

Door

This message on the display means that the door is not locked.. This often happens because it is not pressed tightly enough. Another reason for the error may be a malfunction of the locking system.

Usually, to fix the problem, it is enough to simply press the door again. If the inscription does not disappear after this, it means that a breakdown has occurred in the components of the washing machine.

F2

The error is displayed when there are problems with water heating. The reasons for the error may lie in malfunction of the heating element or temperature sensor. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to replace the failed part. To do this you need to call a specialist.

F3

This signal indicates that the water in the washing machine is not heating up or is not heating up enough. With such a malfunction, washing programs with temperatures above 30 degrees may not start.

The reason for the malfunction of the heating element may be a manufacturing defect or scale, which often appears on the heating element after 4-5 years of operation. The breakdown can be eliminated by replacing the heating element. Read more Here.

F4

It appears at the end of the operation of the device, since in such a breakdown the machine does not drain the water after washing. The machine can also signal an error if the water leaves the drum very slowly. In this case, it is recommended to carefully inspect the device.

The causes of the error may be related to a common software glitch, which can be resolved by restarting the machine. More often the error F4 is knocked out due to a blockage in the drain hose, filter or sewer.

If rebooting the machine does not give anything, you need to manually drain the water through the filter, cleaning it at the same time, then check other parts of the drain system. If these measures are ineffective, you need to call a professional technician. Read more Here.

F5

Indicates that there are problems with the water supply. Sometimes it occurs simply because the central water supply is turned off. In this case, you just need to wait until the water is supplied.

If the problem is in the machine itself, You can try to fix the breakdown yourself by checking the mesh filter between the inlet hose and the machine itself. If it is clogged, you need to clean the part.Another way to repair the machine yourself is to turn the water supply valve to increase the pressure.

F6

Indicates a breakdown of the reverse relay or motor. Typically, a relay fails when the contacts are damaged or the winding overheats. The first thing to do in the event of such a malfunction is to disconnect the device from the network, wait 15 minutes, then turn it on again. If the error appears again, you need to call a technician.

F7

Indicates some kind of power failure or indicates that the voltage in the network is too low. In such a situation, you can try to restart the machine by turning it off for half an hour.

If this does not help, you need to check the voltage in the network by turning on any other device: if there is a power outage, the electric kettle will also turn off.

The problem could also be a faulty extension cord or the machine's power cord is damaged.

A more serious cause of such a malfunction may be the failure of the capacitor or control module of the machine. It is better to entrust its removal to a professional.

F8

This signal indicates that there is too much water in the tank.. The problem sometimes occurs when the drain system in the machine is connected incorrectly, when the drain hose is located above or below the level of the appliance tank.

Another reason for the error to appear is an increase in pressure in the sewer system. An error can also occur if the seal of the tank in the machine is broken. A more serious failure with such a signal is a malfunction of the pressure sensor, which requires the help of a professional technician.Details - in this article.

F9

This code appears when the tachogenerator malfunctions. – parts that control engine operation. Sometimes the error occurs due to a system failure, so first you need to try rebooting the device. If this does not help, you can check the spin button: sometimes it gets stuck and causes error F9.

F10

If F11 appears on the display, it means the door lock did not work. You can often fix such a breakdown by simply opening the hatch and slamming it again. Beforehand, it would be a good idea to make sure that no unnecessary objects have gotten into the rubber door seal. Read more here.

F11

Depending on the model of the machine, the same error may be indicated by a “Door” signal. The reasons for its occurrence were discussed above.

F12

This code indicates that some kind of failure has occurred in the engine.. Other reasons for this problem may be a failure of the control unit firmware, wear of the motor brush, damage to contacts or wiring. To resolve the problem, it is advisable to contact a service center. Details - in this article.

F13

This signal indicates a malfunction of the control module or its contacts. The breakdown is quite serious, unless it is an ordinary system failure, which can be resolved by rebooting the device.

The following signs indicate that the control module has been seriously damaged:

• the machine does not beep when plugged in;
• the keys on the control panel do not work when pressed;
• indicators flash in no particular order;

If the household appliance does not have an electronic display

Cars with electromechanical control do not have an electronic display, so all the errors described above are indicated by the lighting of one or more specific indicators.

You can determine the breakdown using the following table:

How to find a good master?

Since the Atlant company has many years of experience in the global market, it has there is a wide network of service centers that you can contact in case of breakdown. The addresses of all centers are indicated in the operating manual.

Unfortunately, there are not service centers in all cities, so it is more difficult for residents of small regional centers to find a reliable repairman.

When turning to a professional for help, you should take into account that the most expensive repair is electronics, but they usually wear out more slowly than other components of the device and break down much less often. You should not trust a service that charges high prices for repair services.

It is better to refuse the services of a specialist if he:

• cannot say when exactly he will come to inspect the breakdown;
• says that the electronics cannot be repaired, so it is necessary to replace them;
• claims that it will be cheaper to buy a new machine than to repair an old one;
• offers to buy the car at a bargain price, arguing that it has “outlived its usefulness.”

The low professional qualities of the technician or the dishonesty of the service center is indicated by the need to pay for calling a professional to your home without diagnosing the breakdown.

On average, the cost of repair work without the price of parts that will have to be replaced varies in the Russian Federation approximately from 1000 to 3000 rubles.

Prevention of the Atlant washing machine

2. Every time after using the appliance, wipe the silicone door seal dry to prevent mold from appearing there.
3. Use anti-scale protection products for your machine.
4. Do not overload the drum with laundry.

Conclusion

If a breakdown signal appears when you turn on the machine, there is no need to panic. Quite often it is enough to turn off the device from the network, wait 30 minutes, then turn it on again. For more serious problems, you can contact the service center. Repairing machines from this company is usually inexpensive.
