Is normal washing interrupted by an incomprehensible breakdown? Having loaded dirty things, you try to start the equipment, but the Kandy washing machine does not turn on. First of all, you should familiarize yourself with the causes of the problem in order to detect and fix the breakdown. Perhaps the problem is quite minor, so do not rush to dispose of the machine.

Why doesn't the Candy washing machine start?
Pay attention to the symptoms of breakage. For example, after loading powder and linen, you press the On / Off button, but the equipment is silent? Or responding to the inclusion of a plug in a socket by flashing indicators? The case may be in the banal blackout, as well as in the burning of the control board. Let's figure it out?
SMA "Kandy" does not work: network problems
These problems are not directly related to technology. When connecting the plug to the outlet, the washing machine does not show any signs of life at all, the lights do not light up, the buttons do not squeak. What is the reason:
- They turned off the electricity. This also happens. Check the light in other rooms, if everything is in order, then look further.
- Broken outlet. Alternatively, there is insufficient voltage in the network to power the washing machine. That is why it is recommended to install stabilizers. How to check? Plug in another appliance. Deaf It's time to call an electrician.
- The machine was knocked out. Check and turn on the machine. If the device does not want to start, it is probably a short circuit.
- The RCD worked. A protective device protects the wearer from electric shock in the event of a leak to the housing. Try connecting the RCD again, but if the device worked again, contact an electrician.
- Damaged plug or cable. Inspect the details. If the smell of burning, molten body, damaged insulation, replace the product immediately.
- Extension cord defective. If the machine is connected through carrying, then check it. Just plug in another appliance. Experts recommend connecting the AGR only in special outlets.
Everything is inspected and checked, but the problem persists? Then it's time to explore the details of the washer. The following works are possible only after a complete disconnection of equipment from electricity.
The reason for the breakdown of the Kandy washing machine
So, the electrical components are operational, but still the AGR does not start. If the technique does not respond to commands at all, here's what you need to check:
- Start button. This is the most common reason. Oxidation of internal contacts occurs as a result of voltage drops in the network, high humidity, detergents. Contacts are dialed with a multimeter, the button is replaced.
- FPS interference filter. The system works like this: a network cable is led to the machine body, where it is connected to a filter through which current passes to other parts. FPS eliminates interference during the operation of the washer, allowing you to simultaneously operate the TV and other equipment. The filter is located under the top cover of the SMA “Kandy”. Inspect it at the time of burning and bloating.
If the FPS looks out of order, then test the contacts with a multimeter. You can purchase a filter complete with a cable.
- Damage to the main module. The solution requires a thorough diagnosis of the part and an expensive replacement. You can only visually assess the status of the module yourself. To do this, remove the top cover and disconnect the control panel.
If the machine starts in the usual mode, but does not erase, make sure that the hatch door is tightly closed. This problem may be reflected in the error code on the panel. Check:
- Lock and door lock. If the lock normally enters the hole and closes the hatch tightly, but there is no click, then the problem is with the locking device (UBL). For the sake of safety, the machine starts the cycle only after the UBL gives a signal to the module about the door lock. When this does not happen, check and replace the part. It is easy to do this by disassembling the door.
- Internal wiring. Problems with wires are indicated by the random flashing of the lights on the panel. It is necessary to find the damaged area and replace it.
Such problems could arise if the equipment refuses to turn on. The main recommendations to avoid problems with the electronics are to install a stabilizer. Do not connect the washer through an extension cord; it is better to connect the cord directly to the outlet.
