Why doesn't the washing machine turn on and the indicators don't light up? We deal with the problem with our own hands

Sometimes users observe the following situation: the washing machine does not turn on and the indicators do not light up. Moreover, they may even blink, but the washing process still does not proceed. The reasons for this phenomenon range from simple to very serious. You can deal with some of them yourself - the corresponding instructions are described in the presented material.

First actions

If the washing machine does not turn on, this does not necessarily indicate a breakdown. First you need to perform a few basic steps:

• make sure that the plug is inserted firmly enough;
• there is no damage to the cord, it is not pinched or stretched;
• the socket itself works (check by connecting another device);
• There is electricity in the house and the voltage is sufficient (lights do not blink).

These are the first steps that can be taken right away. Although often even after this the Indesit or other model washing machine does not turn on. In such cases, they look for other reasons, focusing on the recommendations of specialists described in the following sections.

The unit does not turn on, all indicators are on at once

It would be logical if the device did not turn on and the lights did not light up either.But there is a situation when the washing machine does not start, and all the indicators are on at the same time. Most often they blink, which most likely indicates voltage drops in the electrical network.

This phenomenon is usually observed in rural areas, in private houses with old wiring. Although even in a city apartment, a sharp voltage surge cannot be ruled out, during which part of the capacitors of the control module or even the entire board burn out. As a result, the Samsung washing machine or other devices do not turn on, they begin to freeze, and programs become confused.

The consequences can be very serious, including replacing all electronics, that is, the board with the processor. Self-repair is possible, but this requires appropriate experience. The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. If the washing machine does not turn on, turn it off and remove the back panel.
2. Remove the lid and container into which the powder is poured.
3. Unscrew each screw that secures the board.
4. They remove it and photograph it so that they can connect it correctly later.
5. Find the burnt areas and replace them with new contacts.
6. Place the board in place.
7. If after this the Indesit washing machine does not turn on, the reasons must be looked for in other units.

The device does not turn on and the indicators do not light up

When the unit does not start, and the lamps are also deactivated, this means that the network connection is broken. The main breakdowns are:

1. Damage to the power cord - you need to carefully inspect it, make sure the integrity of the cable and insulation.
2. A broken cord plug is another reason why the washing machine does not turn on. Since it cannot be repaired, a new part should be installed.

If both the cord and plug are fine, but the unit still does not work, it is more difficult to diagnose the real cause. Therefore, it is worth contacting a specialist.

Washing does not work, the door does not lock

If the Samsung washing machine does not turn on, the cause of the malfunction may also be related to the door. It does not close tightly, which is why the washing process does not proceed. Therefore, you need to perform several steps:

1. Inspect the hinges and, if necessary, tighten the screws that hold the door in place. Then the structure will take the correct position, and the lock can be closed until it clicks.
2. Check the tongue, tighten the screws that hold it. If it breaks, the part must be completely replaced. The door is removed, a new spare part is installed and put in place.
3. A broken device blocking the hatch can explain why the washing machine does not turn on. To replace, you need to remove the screws, and then the UBL itself. Then it needs to be tested using a multimeter. If there is no resistance, a new part should be installed.
4. The electronic module has broken down - in this case, the lock indicator lights up on the screen, and the door closes, but the washing does not proceed. This is observed if there were power surges in the network or water got on the board. This is why the washing machine won't turn on.

Failure Prevention

When the washing machine does not turn on, the reasons relate to various parts. In the simplest case, we are just talking about a broken cord or plug, although it may also be that the board with the processor burned out. In any case, if the Indesit machine does not turn on or a device of another brand breaks down, repairs are required, often expensive.

To avoid it, it is recommended to follow a few simple rules:

1. If you have to wash all day, you need to leave at least 2 hours of rest time between cycles.
2. Use only high-quality powders to avoid breaking the heating element.
3. Sometimes the Indesit washing machine does not turn on due to blockage. Therefore, you should periodically clean the mesh, pump and filters.
4. Sometimes users are in a hurry to put clothes on and start the washing process. Foreign things get into the tank, and then the Samsung washing machine does not turn on. It is recommended to carefully monitor your pockets and always avoid such situations.
5. If there are voltage drops, the Indesit washing machine also does not start. If it is not equipped with its own stabilizer, you must purchase and connect it. Then all electrical appliances will be insured against surges.

In general, we can say that for prevention it is important to follow the instructions. When an Indesit washing machine does not turn on, it is not always easy to find the cause. If you are not sure, it is better to consult a specialist. He will tell you exactly why the washing machine does not start and what needs to be done in a particular case.
