Typical Fagor Failures
Most often, the SMA Fagor has the following failures:
- The user-selected wash cycle does not start.
- The car is leaking.
- During the spin, the machine vibrates too much and “jumps”.
- AGR does not drain water.
- Poorly wrung out laundry (or no spin at all).
- The lid does not open.
- The door opens too slowly.
Next, we will consider each of the failures separately, and you will find out what it takes to repair the Fagor washing machine with your own hands.
We will conduct an overview of typical failures with the example of the common Fagor 1FET-109W model (with vertical loading).
The selected wash cycle does not start
Attention! Check, do not forget you press the "START / PAUSE" button.
Next, to troubleshoot:
- Check if the washer is plugged in.
- See if the power cord is connected to the network, check the integrity of the cord.
- Make sure the plug and socket are working.
- Make sure that the water tap to the machine is open.
- Check tightness of cover closure.
Fagor machine leaked
Important! If you notice a puddle near the machine or under it, immediately unplug the power cord from the outlet. Disconnect the fuse and water tap that supplies water to the CM.
The causes of the malfunction:
- The drain cock was not mounted correctly.
- Damaged pipes supplying water to the AGR.
- Clamps on hoses and pipes extended.
Spin vibration too strong
Important! The root cause of this failure is the improper installation of the machine.
To eliminate vibration and prevent possible damage, follow the recommendations:
- Check that all transport devices — wedges, gaskets, clamps, and bolts — are removed.
- Using a building level, check if the machine is level, if the floor is level.
- Adjust the legs of the CM.
The spin of the laundry is weak or completely absent
Attention! Perhaps you have chosen a program without spinning - make sure that the correct washing mode is selected.
Other causes can also cause poor spin:
- Drum imbalance due to improper distribution of laundry.
- The control board failed. In this case, self-repair is not possible.
No draining water in a Fagor car
Attention! Before looking for the cause of the breakdown, make sure that you have not selected the “Stop with full tank” washing mode.
If the above reason is excluded, then the problem may be as follows:
- Clogged drain filter with small debris.
- The drain hose is kinked or clogged.
How to clean the filter?
- Locate the technical access door on the front of the SMA at the very bottom.
- Open the hatch and unscrew the large rubber stopper.
- Clean the filter mechanically by removing small debris.
- Rinse the filter under the tap.
- Replace.
Take this video into service, it shows how to quickly eliminate blockage:
For cleaning, remove the hose from the sewer pipe and the body of the Fagor washing machine. Rinse the hose under running water, reinstall and tighten the clamps tightly.
Fagor washing cover does not open
Attention! If you can’t open the lid, it might be worth the wait until the wash is finished - during the cycle the lid will not open.
If the wash has ended long ago and the lid does not open, most likely the locking mechanism has failed or there are problems with the electronic module.
Slow door opening
This malfunction is typical for models that are equipped with smooth opening doors. A number of reasons can cause a breakdown:
- You have not used SM for a long time.
- Installed equipment in a cold place.
- The hinges are blocked by powder residues.
In this case, usually the repair is not needed - the function is activated after the first opening. If the problem is a breakdown of the mechanism itself, then it needs to be replaced.
As you can see, many breakdowns of Fagor washing machines do not require urgent evacuation of equipment to the workshop - it is enough to take simple measures. But you should not save, if it is a matter of serious malfunctions - if you need to replace the bearing, repair the engine or module, it is better to call the workshop.
