What is the reason that the Samsung washing machine does not fill with water, how to fix the problem?

Any previously working properly automatic washing machine (AWA) may refuse to draw water. This problem is no exception for Samsung equipment.

The reasons that led to the program stopping may be different. To eliminate them, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics. It is on its results that further steps to eliminate the problem will depend.

What is the reason that the Samsung washing machine does not fill with water and how to fix the problem, we will tell you in the article.

Why isn't water flowing for washing?

There are situations when the automatic machine does not draw water, but does not have any visible or hidden defects. The cause of the failure may be hidden in the operation of the main pipeline through which water enters the tank.

This group of reasons includes:

• temporary interruptions in water supply in the house or entrance;
• closed valve on the pipe connected to the device;
• a bend in the rubber hose through which incoming water flows.

Possible causes include:

1. Inlet valve faulty.An additional sign of this defect may be incomplete rinsing of the powder from the tray compartment.
2. Clogged inlet mesh. The problem grows gradually, first manifesting itself in the slow flow of water into the tank.
3. Clogged perforations of the filter, which is responsible for rough cleaning of the water entering the machine.
4. Defective water level sensor. It occurs due to particles of fibers or other contaminants getting into the pressure switch wire.
5. Control board failure. A special case of this problem may be the failure of resistors.
6. The hose connecting the water level sensor and the washing machine tank is leaking.
7. The lock on the hatch is broken. If the door latches, but the electronic lock does not work, the machine will not start.

If the washing machine has a display, a certain code will be displayed on it. The error that appears helps determine the reason for the program stopping.

What to do?

You can fix some of the problems yourself. If problems with external elements (valve, water supply, door) are excluded from the list of possible causes, proceed directly to repairing the AMS. The method of restoring the functionality of the equipment depends on the nature of the breakdown.

Cleaning the mesh filter

This part is located in the inlet hose. To clean it, you need to perform several sequential steps:

• close the bypass valve on the incoming water pipe;
• unscrew the inlet hose from the washing machine;
• Using pliers, remove the mesh from the valve;
• rinse the filter element under running water;
• put the mesh in place and connect the hose.

Repairing the pressure switch

If it is determined that water does not enter the tank due to problems with the water level sensor, it is dismantled.

To do this, perform three steps:

1. Remove the cover of the machine.
2. Unscrew the mounting bolts.
3. Disconnect the hose and wires.

If the pressure switch burns out, then you need to buy exactly the same model. The new sensor is installed in place, the hose and contacts are connected. The last step is to screw in the fixing bolts.

Solving the problem with blocking the hatch

To resolve this problem, it is recommended to contact a specialist. But if you have the necessary components and skills, you can make repairs yourself.

If the door is skewed due to strong vibration of the MMA during spinning, then it is enough to tighten the fasteners or replace the hinges.

If checking the electronic lock with a multimeter shows that the problem lies precisely in this part, then proceed to replacing it. The lock is dismantled and a new one is installed in its place..

Replacing the water supply valve

When this important electronic part burns out, it needs to be replaced. You can perform the procedure yourself.

The algorithm for replacing a water supply valve includes several steps:

1. The device is disconnected from the power supply and the water supply from the water supply is shut off.
2. Disconnect the hoses located at the top of the rear panel from the valves.
3. Drain the liquid remaining inside the hoses.
4. After unscrewing the connecting bolts, remove the cover of the washing machine.
5. Photograph the location of the wires going to the valve.
6. The fixing fasteners are removed from each of the four hoses.
7. After unscrewing the screw, remove the broken water supply valve.
8. A new valve is installed in its place and secured with a bolt.
9. Connect all previously dismantled hoses.
10. Restore the wiring using the photographed diagram.
11. Replace the housing cover and connect the inlet hose.

Repair or replacement of the control board

If the “silence” of the machine is the result of a banal malfunction in the operation of the control module, then it is enough to reboot the device. To do this, it is disconnected from the power supply for 10-15 minutes. This time is enough for the system to restore operation.

A control board failure is a more serious problem. The defective module is removed and replaced with a new one or a partial repair is performed.

Dismantling is carried out as follows:

• remove the lid of the washing machine;
• take out the powder receptacle;
• disconnect the instrument panel fasteners;
• remove the control module clamps.

If it is enough to restore the contacts for repair, then use a special liquid to clean them. When certain tracks or connections are short-circuited, they are soldered again. If repair is not possible, the board is replaced with a new one.

Call the master

Many users find it difficult to figure out Samsung devices and repairs on their own. To solve the problem, it is advisable to invite a specialist. He will conduct a full diagnostic of the device and identify the real cause of the problem.

Home repairs often result in the need for repeated intervention in the design of the washing machine. This is fraught with additional financial expenses.

The repair technology has been worked out in such workshops down to the smallest detail. Our craftsmen use proven products and high-quality components. The cost of repairing a Samsung if there is a problem with filling the tank depends on the cause of the breakdown.

The workshop price includes the following rates:

• replacement of the water supply valve – from 1100 rubles;
• flashing or replacing the control board – from 1,500 rubles;
• replacement of a water level sensor – from 1300 rubles;
• reinstallation of the door locking device – from 1500 rubles.

You can also find a person who does private repairs of washing machines at home. However, responding to such advertisements sometimes ends in new problems.

Private craftsmen do not provide a documented guarantee for their work and often inflate the price. A verbal agreement may not end in favor of the equipment owner. Therefore, contacting official workshops is more profitable from both a technical and economic point of view.

How to avoid problems with a Samsung machine in the future?

In order to forget about the problem of water intake for a long time or forever, you need to remember the provoking factors. It is important to avoid them when using a Samsung washing machine.

The problem can be caused by:

1. Increased humidity in the room where the household appliance is installed. This leads to dampness and disruption of contacts. The room must have good ventilation and be heated.
2. Sudden changes in voltage. Due to such electrical failures, the board may burn out. For protection, it is recommended to install special modular-type voltage relays in the house or connect the SMA through a stabilizer.
3. Worn electrical cord, plug or socket.It is necessary to ensure that the equipment that supplies power to the washing machine is always in good condition.
