The washing machine does not turn on - this situation is familiar to almost every housewife. Sometimes a problem shows up unexpectedly. For example, after the powder has been filled up, and the laundry is loaded into the tank, but the machine does not react in any way to attempts to turn it on. From the unexpectedness of this breakdown, the situation becomes even more unpleasant.
Before contacting a workshop for a washing machine repair service, or completely writing off a washing machine, you need to try to find the reasons that led to its breakdown.
The reason that the washer suddenly does not turn on can be caused by several of the factors. It is also important to study the symptoms of a breakdown. For example, a device, when a button is pressed, does not give any signals at all, or only one indicator lights up and nothing else works. The solution will be individual methods of repair work. Some malfunctions can be fixed on your own, while others will require the help of a specialist.
Causes of failure if the machine does not turn on at all
If at startup the machine does not react at all to pressing the button, there is a possibility of a power outage. The first thing is:
- Check the power supply.
- If everything is fine with the mains, the problem is in the outlet.And it is possible that the automatic switch suddenly knocked out, or water got into the outlet.
- You need to check the machine through which electricity is supplied to the machine.
- You need to turn it on again.
- It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the outlet using an indicator screwdriver.If there is no equipment to test the outlet, the easiest way is to plug another (working) device into the outlet.
- It is also necessary to inspect the cord for external damage. It may be severely bent/damaged. Use a multimeter to test the cord.
If none of the above methods could, then the reason for this problem lies in the washing machine itself. One of the most common breakdowns is a malfunction of the power button. On some models, the current goes to the power button. Its failure may affect the start of the device. It is best to use a multimeter to test the button.
The surge protector, which protects equipment from power outages, could also break. It participates in the electricity supply circuit, so a breakdown may make it impossible to turn on the washer.

Why does only one indicator light up when turned on?
If the machine responds to the start, one indicator turns on, and 0 reactions to other commands, there may be several reasons for this. It often happens that the machine does not draw water, it is not possible to select or set the mode, but at the same time it is turned on. To begin with, it is worth checking whether the hatch door is tightly closed.It is possible that some things prevent the hatch from closing, so the wash does not start. If nothing prevents the hatch from closing, but it still does not block, then the problem may lie in the blocking device.
It happens that when you start the appliance, all the indicators turn on, but still the washing does not start. Such a common problem will indicate a wiring malfunction or a breakdown of some parts inside the machine.
