What does the Door error code on the Atlant washing machine mean: the hatch door is not tightly closed.
The electronically controlled washing machine displays a fault code on the display. Electromechanical Atlant models without a screen recognize the Door error by glowing 1, 3, 4 indicators.
Let’s look for the causes of the problem and figure out how to fix the breakdown with our own hands.
Causes and solutions
What does the Door error in the Atlant washing machine mean, you understand. The hatch door may not close due to problems with the electronics or mechanical elements.
What to do:
- Check how the door closes, press the hatch tighter.
- Inspect the handle lock, hatch blocking device. Check the wiring connecting them to the control module.
- Evaluate the performance of the control board.
Before you begin to correct the situation, try restarting the Atlant washing machine. De-energize the SM for 10-20 minutes, then turn it on. If the Doo error is gone, then the cause was a system crash.
If the error reset fails, you need to take action.
How to fix electronic problems
SMA Atlant is equipped not only with a mechanical lock – for reliable protection, the door is locked at the electronic level. The UBL lock is responsible for this.
How to determine that the reason is in the UBL: the hatch closes normally, but the wash does not start. The Atlant machine will not start working until the hatch is fixed at the electronic level. The display will show the error Door.
The locking device is powered by electronic impulses – under their influence, the plates of the device expand, pressing on the lever. It happens that the plates wear out and the UBL needs to be replaced. But first, check the device for serviceability with a multimeter.
Inspect the lock hole for blockages. Perhaps clogged debris interferes with the fixing of the lock. For cleaning, you need to disassemble the UBL.
If the Door error is still on the display, check the wires between the control unit and the UBL. Perhaps there are defects that need to be isolated or replaced.
Lastly, the module is checked: measure the resistance of the board elements with a multimeter. If it breaks down, it needs to be repaired. If the module is completely burnt out, install a new one.
Mechanical faults
There are other reasons why the Atlant typewriter writes a Door error. To resolve the issue, check the following items:
How to replace the sunroof handle yourself
If you figured out that the Atlant washing machine gives a Door error due to mechanical reasons, you need to replace the handle or its elements.
- Remove the door from the CMA by unscrewing the two mounting bolts.
- Lay the sunroof on a flat surface.
- Remove the screws securing the two parts of the door.
- Release the latches, remove the outer part together with the glass.
- If your goal is to put the tongue back in place, adjust the pin that secures the handle.
- To replace the entire mechanism, push and pull the pin.
- After disassembling the handle mechanism, install a new one.
- The spring is located first.
- Install the latch and, while holding it, insert the pin.
- Put the handle on top and fasten the mechanism by pushing the pin.
