There can be multiple reasons why a washing machine automatically loses power or trips during washing. Here are some possible causes and how to troubleshoot and fix them
Possible Causes:
Circuit problems: Aging circuits, short circuits, or poor contacts can cause the washing machine to automatically power off.
Voltage issues: Too high or too low voltage can trigger the washing machine's power off protection mechanism.
Motor problems: A faulty or overheated motor can cause the washing machine to trip.
Overload: The washing machine is overloaded and exceeds its capacity.
Drainage problems: A clogged drain pipe or a faulty drain pump can cause the washing machine to trip due to high water levels.
Faulty control panel: A malfunctioning control panel in a washing machine can also cause a power outage during the washing process.
Troubleshooting and remediation methods:
Check the circuitry: Make sure the washing machine socket is in good contact and is not loose or broken.
Use a voltmeter to check if the home mains voltage is within the normal range.
If possible, have a professional electrician inspect the circuit for aging or short circuits.
Check the motor: If the motor is overheating, you may need to wait for a while for the motor to cool down.
If the motor fails, it may need to be replaced.
Control the load: Make sure that the load of the washing machine does not exceed its recommended capacity.
Check the drainage system:
Clean drain pipes and drain pumps to ensure smooth drainage.
Check that the drain is properly connected and that there are no leaks or blockages.
Check the dashboard:
If the control board fails, it may need to be replaced.
Reset the washing machine:
Some washing machines need to be reset manually after a malfunction. Consult the washing machine's instructions to learn how to reset the washing machine.
Contact Professional Services:
If none of the above methods can solve the problem, it is recommended to contact the after-sales service or professional maintenance personnel of the washing machine manufacturer for inspection and repair.
During the troubleshooting and remediation process, ensure security and do not use inappropriate tools or methods. If you're not sure how to make a repair, it's best to seek help from a professional.
