Every washing machine has a mechanical assembly system with horns and shafts, there are other washing machines that come with gears immersed in oil (transmission) with pulleys or belts that are driven by a motor. The size or capacity of the motor (Hp) varies in the market, since it depends on the capacity of clothes per kilo to be washed, if it is a tub with a capacity for 20 kilos of clothes (the capacity in kilos is taken with the wet clothes does not dry wet clothes are heavier than dry) the motor must require more power (hp) watts.
If you are one of the people who want to learn how to repair your own washing machine. I invite you to try it since it is not complicated, it just requires patience and encouragement to do it. Unless you have a good budget to pay a good washing machine technician.
Every washing machine has four basic functions: filling, washing, draining and spinning. These washing cycles are carried out through a clock or timer. Which with constant use wear can occur and makes your cycles not do them correctly. It tends to jump from cycle to cycle causing your washer to malfunction.
In the private use of any washing machine, problems or inconveniences that are common when giving it its respective use always tend to arise. It may seem easy to solve, but nevertheless it is good that you acquire some type of knowledge so that you can face this reality.
To give your washing machine a better quality of life, it is good to take into account the use of a certain detergent (particularly preferably liquid). Be aware of the amount of clothes to wash, that is, do not exaggerate the load, that the clothes move easily in the tub. Regarding the water pressure, being aware of a very low pressure could cause overheating in the filling valves and having the machine in a place that has a level floor.
What to do when the machine makes noise or stops between cycles.
Most of the basic problems that washing machines present when they do not turn on or do not meet their regulatory cycle. It is because your electricity or current power center is not receiving it properly. If it stops without having completed its cycle and jumps to another, you should look at the load protector and proceed to reduce the amount of laundry. Wait for it to reset itself, then start the machine again.
If the problem persists, proceed to unplug the machine and plug it back in, pressing the power button. Take into account that you covered the machine well, remember that it has a sensor or switch that limits its action if the door is open or it may be broken if it does not make clips. Check that the fuse it uses is in good condition and at once realize that the cable is not broken. Since this limits the passage of current that feeds the washing machine. If the situation cannot be solved or it worsens, it is better that you look for a specialized technician in the matter to review it and give you a real diagnosis.
