White Knight Washing Machine Troubleshooting
White Knight washing machine won’t startTypically, this problem is related to an electrical issue. It could be a difficulty with the incoming power supply, the power socket, the switch or the fuse. These may then result in the tripping of the circuit breaker each time you turn the appliance on.
Alternatively, it could be due to the door being unable to shut properly. This may be caused by a faulty door lock, a broken latch, a defective switch assembly, or a problem with the main control board. All easily resolved by a qualified repair engineer.
White Knight washing machine not spinningIf the spinning process starts with a delay or won’t function this again could be related to an unbalanced load. However, it can also be due to an inability to drain properly caused by something getting stuck in the outlet pipe.
Other issues can be related to the washing machine filter, the hose leading to the drainage pump, or the pump itself. If filling and emptying are normal this indicates a problem with the drum motor – and specifically with the carbon brushes that can become worn over time.
White Knight washing machine not drainingThere are a number of reasons why this happens with the most common culprit being an obstructed or kinked drain hose. Or the pump filter may be blocked. If clothes aren’t loaded into the machine evenly this can also lead to problems with drainage.
Other reasons could be a faulty lid switch assembly that is also a common problem with appliances being unable to drain.
