Error H20 on the display of the Indesit washing machine: description, cause, elimination

Washing machines Indesit can be found in almost every home, as they are considered the best helpers in everyday life, which have proven themselves to be long service life and trouble-free operation. Sometimes after loading the laundry, regardless of the selected program, the error message H20 may appear on the display of such machines. Seeing him, you do not need to immediately get upset or call the master, since you can easily cope with such a problem yourself.

The H20 error in the Indesit washing machine can appear in any operating mode, even when washing and rinsing. The program usually issues it in the process of collecting water. It is accompanied by a long murmur, during which the drum continues to spin for 5-7 minutes, then it simply freezes, and the display blinks with the H20 error code. At the same time, it is worth noting that the collection of water can go continuously. As practice shows, this error in 90% of cases is commonplace and has nothing to do with a serious malfunction.

The main reasons for such a breakdown are usually:

• the tap located at the junction of the water supply system with the inlet hose is closed;
• blockage in the strainer;
• malfunction of elements (mechanical, electrical) of the filler valve;
• faulty wiring that is installed to the water supply valve;
• various malfunctions of the electronic board responsible for communication between the control system and the valve itself.

If the H20 code appears on the screen of the Indesit machine during washing, you do not need to immediately panic and call the master. Any housewife can independently eliminate such a malfunction. To do this, follow these steps.

First of all, it is recommended to make sure that the valve is fully open. If it is closed, then the water will not be supplied, and if it is partially open, then the water intake is carried out slowly. This all leads to the appearance of such an error.

Then you need to check if there is any water in the system at all, if not, then the problem is not with the washing machine. The same applies to a very weak pressure in the water supply system, which is often accompanied by a long intake of water and the appearance of an H2O error. The way out in this situation would be to install a pumping station in an apartment or house.

With long-term operation of the equipment, the mesh can become clogged, after which the flow of water into the machine slows down. To clean the filter, you need to carefully unscrew the inlet hose and remove the mesh. It is enough to rinse it with water under the tap, but cleaning with a solution prepared on the basis of citric acid will not interfere (the filter is placed in a container for 20 minutes).

Sometimes a constant flood of water can be observed, but self-draining does not occur - as a result, an error H20 appears. To fix the problem, hang the end of the drain hose to the toilet or bathtub and try starting the wash mode again. If such an error on the screen disappears, then the reason lies in the incorrect installation of the equipment. You can fix it yourself or use the services of experienced craftsmen.

If there are no problems with the water supply and the filter, and an error appears, then most likely a failure has occurred in the operation of the indication and control board. To solve the problem, it is recommended to unplug the plug for half an hour and then plug it back on. Since the bathroom is characterized by a high level of humidity, the electronic components of the machine often fail or malfunction under this negative influence.

All of the above breakdowns can be easily eliminated without a master, but there are also serious malfunctions that require repair.

• Washing machine Indesit for any selected program, it does not draw water and constantly displays an error on the display H20. This indicates that there are problems with the filler valve, which should automatically open when water is drawn. You will have to buy a new valve even when the machine is constantly taking water or pouring it over. Additionally, you should check the serviceability of the water level sensor, which may also break, become clogged (covered with a coating) over time, or fly off the tube.

• After selecting the washing mode, the machine draws in water slowly. In this case, the electronic controller (the brain of technology) has broken down; only a specialist can replace it. The cause of the malfunction is also the failure of radioelements in the valve control circuit. Sometimes individual microcircuit tracks responsible for signal transmission or soldering burn out. In this case, the wizard replaces them with new elements and flashes the controller.

It is also impossible to fix problems with the wiring or electrical contacts in the circuit responsible for controlling the valve on your own. They are manifested by vibration during the operation of the equipment. This is mainly due to damage to the wiring, which in private homes can be gnawed by rats or mice. As a rule, wires and all burnt-out contacts are replaced with new ones.

It is best to do with the initial diagnostics, and if the malfunction is serious, then immediately call the wizard. In addition, it is important to take into account that the equipment under warranty cannot be opened independently, it is available only to service centers.

Washing machines of the Indesit trademark, like any other equipment, can fail. One of the most common malfunctions in their work is the appearance of an H20 error on the display. In order to maximize the operational life of the equipment and prevent such problems, experts recommend adhering to simple rules.

• After purchasing a washing machine, its installation and connection should be entrusted to specialists. The slightest mistake when connecting to the water supply and drainage system can trigger the appearance of the H20 error.
• You need to start washing by checking the presence of water in the system. At the end, turn off the water supply and wipe the drum dry. The choice of the washing mode should be chosen strictly according to the instructions in the instructions that are attached to the equipment by the manufacturer.
• Periodically, you need to clean the filter and the tray where the washing powder is poured. It is advisable to do this after every fifth wash. If plaque appears on the filter screen, clean it with special detergents.
• It is strictly forbidden to overload the drum - this puts an additional load on the motor and leads to a breakdown of the water level sensor, after which the H20 error appears. Do not wash things often at the maximum temperature - this will shorten the service life of the equipment.
• If there is a problem with the water supply in the house or apartment (low pressure), then it must be eliminated before installing the equipment. Alternatively, you can connect a small pumping station to the water supply system.
