Washing machine not working

If the Spin button on your Aqualux 1200 Electrolux washing machine is not staying inside when pressed and comes out automatically after a few seconds, there could be a few possible causes:

Button malfunction: The button itself may be malfunctioning and not working properly. It could be a problem with the button's connection or the switch that it activates.

Control board issue: The control board is responsible for managing the functions of the washing machine. If it is malfunctioning, it may not be able to control the Spin button properly.

Motor or transmission issue: The motor and transmission are responsible for spinning the drum. If they are not working properly, the Spin button may not stay in.

Latch or door lock issue: If the latch or door lock is not working properly, it may not be able to keep the Spin button in position during the spin cycle.

Look for two key pad buttons with a line with a smiling child face padlock symbol. Press and hold these two buttons until you see or here a response from the washing machine.

On a 8 Kg model, press and hold + and - Change buttons on the right of the LCD screen simultaneously for several seconds? That's the way to toggle the child lock on and off for this IFB model, https://www.amazon.in/IFB-Fully-Automatic-Senator-Aqua-SX/dp/B00LAXLN5C . On a 6Kg machine, https://www.amazon.in/IFB-Fully-Automatic-Diva-Aqua-SX/dp/B071G3B81W/ref=psdc_1380369031_t3_B00LAXLN5C , the appropriate buttons to hold are the Rapid Wash and No Cold. (These are on the right side of the control panel but to the left of the power button.)

Depending on the machine, the time to hold the buttons may be 3 seconds, 5 second or 10 seconds. You should see and hear some response. However, holding the key pad buttons for too long may re-enable the child lock.

I hope this helps. The child lock on most washers remains active even when the power is removed from the machine. This keeps the program from being activated when you clean the control panel or by a child who shouldn't access the machine. If the problem persists, I suggest checking for a problem with the keypad wiring or contacts.

Hi Rose.
Unknown what machine you have, but most machines will indicate when an inlet valve (hot water, cold water or both at once) is active.
As an example, the Samsung top loader has 2 tactile buttons, one 'Hot' the other 'Cold'.
Before washing, the user selects what input they prefer, then that corresponding RED LED will come on and remain on until wash/rinse cycle is finished.
As long as you have water flowing through inlets, then this is most likely an operational indicator.

Door may not be fully closing for some reason.

hi.
CL normally means the child lock is active. look for a lock symbol, either next to a button, or in the middle of a line connecting 2 buttons on the front of your machine. press and hold the button(s) for five-10 seconds until the CL goes off. hope this helps

This is symbol shows that the child lock has been activated. This can only be turned on/off at the beginning or end of washing programme. To activate/de-activate this, just press and hold the Start/Pause button in for 5 seconds. The time settings will then re-appear and then you can proceed as normal

Yes.
Child lock active.
Hold start button 10 seconds.
Then it will deactivate.

If this is not the case, door lock fault or main board fault.

The thermoblock (boiler) element is burnt out and must be replaced.
