Disassembly and assembly of automatic washing machines. Instructions on how to remove the washing machine panel

Any washing machine can fail, especially if it has been in service for more than one year. After the warranty period expires, most amateur craftsmen try to fix the problems themselves. Often, in order to carry out repairs, you have to look for the cause of the breakdown, and for this you have to get to the internal parts.

How to disassemble a Samsung washing machine with your own hands, what is needed for this and what is the sequence of actions - you will find the answers to these questions in the article.

Preparation

Disassembly washing machine- it’s not a difficult matter if the owner of the device has minimal skills in electrical engineering and plumbing. In Samsung brand models, such as, for example, S821, WF-S861, S803J, WF6458N7W, it is easy to access the main mechanisms.

To disassemble and subsequently repair the washing machine, you need to choose a bright and spacious place where nothing will interfere with the work.

Whatever type of machine you are going to repair, it is important to first prepare workplace and tools that will be useful during the disassembly process. Of course, you can get started with a few screwdrivers and wrenches. But if the machine requires a detailed inspection and subsequent repairs, it is better to prepare everything you need at once. So, you may need:

• hammer;
• wire cutters;
• screwdrivers (slotted and figured);
• open-end wrenches;
• heads (socket wrenches);
• pliers;
• hacksaw;
• pliers;
• mites;
• soldering iron

It is important to prepare auxiliary materials in advance - liquid for softening nuts WD-40, silicone sealant and lubricant for hinge elements. It is convenient to have a clean rag on hand to wipe your hands or any remaining liquid from the machine. Experienced craftsmen advise beginners to photograph each stage of disassembling the unit to make it easier to reassemble the device after completion of the repair, therefore, you need to prepare a camera.

The preparation stage may not seem so important, but the result largely depends on the quality of its implementation.

Samsung washing machine diagram

Before you start disassembling the washing machine, it is advisable to get an idea of ​​its structure. The unit diagram will show the location of the functional parts and will help when making repairs.

If you suspect that problems are caused by poor electronics, it will be useful to have on hand electrical diagram unit.

For an ordinary user, a schematic representation of a machine’s structure may seem complex and incomprehensible, but if anyone wants to understand the circuit, anyone can understand it.

How to disassemble the unit yourself: step-by-step instructions

To properly disassemble a Samsung washing machine, we recommend following the following sequence of actions. You need to start the process with removing the top cover, for which you need to take a screwdriver and unscrew the two screws located at the back of the machine. Then carefully slide the cover forward a little and remove it from the body. If you need to inspect the motor pulley and belt drive, simply pull the counterweight towards you.

Next step - dismantling the tray for detergents . Open the container, press the locking tab and pull the compartment towards you as you would when removing it for cleaning. A little more complicated remove the cuff– rubber drum seal. Helping yourself with a screwdriver, carefully disconnect the fixing ring and remove it from the cuff. Perform the procedure slowly so as not to accidentally damage the rubber. Next, wrap the rubber part inside the drum.

Remove bottom panel, under which there is a drain hose and filter, is not difficult. In Samsung machines, the part is fixed with latches, so you just need to disconnect it from the body. As a result, the drain pump becomes accessible. To get it, you will need to remove the clamps using pliers and unscrew several screws with a curly screwdriver.

Then go to dashboard, under which is placed the electronic unit management. To remove the part, you need to unscrew the screws located in the niche of the detergent dispenser and on the opposite side of the panel. Then unfasten the latches and separate the control unit from the machine body. The part can be left hanging on the wires or placed on top part unit, but it is better to disconnect it from the wires and put it aside.

After the above manipulations, begin dismantling the facade surface. How remove the front panel Samsung washing machine? To do this, simply unscrew the fasteners and lightly separate the panel from the body.

When removing the front panel, do not forget to first disconnect the sunroof lock from the wires connected to it.

To remove the back panel, unscrew the 4 bolts from the back and move the part to the side. Now you need disconnect all hoses, which are attached to the tank of the unit: filler and drain, as well as tubes leading to the pressure switch and the detergent compartment. Use a screwdriver to first remove the clamps.

What to do next tubular electric heater(heating element): dismantle or simply disconnect from the wires. Usually a heating element located at the bottom of the tank under the drum. If you need to replace the heating element, unscrew the nuts and completely remove it from the socket. On at this stage Also disconnect the wires from the motor. There are quite a lot of contacts, so you need to photograph or write down the sequence of connections so as not to confuse anything during assembly.

Also need remove counterweights, which are located above and below the tank. Unscrew the bolts with a suitable size wrench and set the weights aside.

Now move on to more complex process – tank removal. This work It’s better to do it not alone, but with an assistant. First, unscrew the bolts that secure the shock absorbers to the tank and disconnect them. Together with an assistant, slowly and carefully remove the part from the springs and take it out. Next you need to separate the engine from the tank. First, disconnect the drive belt, then unscrew the bolts holding the motor and remove it. Finally, remove the pulley.

To replace the bearings in the drum it is necessary disassemble the tank. The task becomes more complicated if the part turns out to be non-separable. In this case, you will have to cut it, repair the bearings, seal the joints and glue the parts together or connect them with bolts and nuts.

In washing machines with a collapsible tank, for example, in the Samsung Diamond 6 kg model, replacement is much simpler: the two halves of the tank can be held together with tie bolts or latches that simply need to be disconnected. Then you can remove the drum on which the bearings are located. To remove the bearing assembly, carefully knock out the metal rings using a hammer and chisel.

When replacing bearings, pay attention to the condition seat– it must not be damaged.

By removing the parts one by one, you can easily disassemble the washing machine and get to the parts that require repair. You need to reassemble the equipment in the reverse order, without skipping any of the indicated steps.

Today, many different devices have been created to perform homework. Among them, the irreplaceable washing machine especially stands out. Without her, not a single decent housewife can imagine a normal life. Although modern manufacturers are trying to produce new washing machines of very high quality, there is a limit to everything. After long-term operation, many parts wear out and often fail. In this case, repairs are required, which can be a significant burden on the home budget. However, there is a simple option in which it becomes possible not to pay money at all - this is to do everything with your own hands.

How to disassemble an imported side-loading or horizontal-loading washing machine

Washing machines are manufactured according to modern technologies. And not everyone will be able to cope with their disassembly. Especially for those who do not have experience in repairing complex mechanisms.

All washing machines perform the same functions, but have different design features. In one case, linen is placed in them from above, and in another from the side. As a result, the sequence of work differs significantly from each other. Therefore, when disassembling, and even more so during repairs, extreme caution, accuracy and special care are required.

Disassembling a side or front loading washing machine

For this Tools required:

1. Sockets for loosening nuts and bolts.
2. A long wrench or several attachments.
3. Small bearing puller.
4. Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.
5. Medium sized hammer.
6. Various wrenches.
7. Powerful pliers.

Preparation

Before disassembly begins washing machine necessary create comfortable conditions for work. As a rule, the equipment is located in the bathroom, where limited space does not allow normal work. In this case, you first need to move the machine away from the wall and then remove the hoses. But first you need to shut off the main line to turn off the cold water. Typically, an apartment always has a tap on the central pipeline. You just need to rotate it 90 degrees.

Often, when connecting the washing machine, an additional tap is installed, which is very convenient. If you close it, the water supply in the entire apartment will not stop, but only the machine will be turned off. The next step is to loosen the clamp and remove the hose. To do this, it is best to tighten the bottom nut with pliers and use a Phillips screwdriver to slightly unscrew the screw. The second pipe, which goes to the drain, is even easier to disconnect. To do this, you just need to unscrew the nut by hand.

After disconnecting the hoses, it is better to move the machine to a larger room where the room will allow for free disassembly. Upon completion of this work, you will need to prepare necessary tool. To do this you will need a screwdriver, sockets, a wrench, a hammer and pliers. If the machine has been running for a very long time, but has never been disassembled, then you will definitely need a puller, since old bearings are quite difficult to remove without this device.

Analysis of an Italian washing machine

The order of disassembling parts:

To learn how to disassemble imported machines with side or horizontal loading, it is best to use the example of Indesit. This is very famous model, which has good performance, durability and enjoys an excellent reputation. Over 10 years of intensive work, it has practically no serious breakdowns. But there comes a time when the seals become unusable due to age and the bearings begin to wobble. This is the most common breakdown. To fix it, you must first disassemble the machine, and then replace outdated parts.

The disassembly of the washing machine begins with the top cover. First, unscrew two screws from the back side. Then they move the platform back a little, and then it can be easily removed upwards. Next, unscrew the three bolts and remove the counterweight from the machine. Then pull out the powder receiver box and unscrew all the screws that hold the control panel. If you lift it, it can be easily removed.

After this, we disconnect all the terminals, and also take out the right valve and take out the large powder dispenser box. But before you lift it, you need to remove the pipe, which is attached to one rubber band. Then remove the round cuff where the door is located. It's easy to remove. First, we pick out the rubber band with a screwdriver and pull out the wire-shaped clamp. And then the rubber can be easily removed towards the drum.

At the next stage, we move to the rear part, where we immediately unscrew all the cover bolts. Next, remove the belt and move on to the engine. It is attached to two bolts that need to be unscrewed. But first you need to disconnect all the wiring. When all fastenings are removed, the motor will fall to the floor. It is not difficult to get it, you just have to tilt the machine and pull out by the shaft. At the back there is a tube with a valve where you connect cold water. It is attached to one screw, which also needs to be unscrewed, and then the entire device must be removed.

When all the work is done, you need to put the car on its side and unscrew the shock absorber nuts. Then you will need to remove the pipe from the pump and also disconnect all wiring. After this, we put the body back in a vertical position and calmly pull the entire drum out of the machine to the top. At this point, the main disassembly is considered complete, and you can proceed directly to the repair.

To make repairs automatic washing machine Samsung line, in the vast majority of cases you will have to remove the top cover of the unit housing. This will be needed, firstly, to gain access to some important parts located underneath it, and secondly, to freely remove other elements of the washing machine, for example, its front wall of the case. So, let's discuss how to disconnect the top cover of a Samsung washing machine to gain free access to the remaining parts of the device and carry out all the necessary diagnostic and repair work.

Opening access to the back of the case

The preparatory stage of work begins with actions that allow access to the back of the automatic washing machine. This is due to the fact that the bolts that hold the top cover are located at the back, and in order to unscrew them, you must have free access to this part of the case.

In the case when the machine is located permanently, there should not be any special problems in moving it away from the wall and turning it a little. It’s another matter when the washing machine is built into the kitchen unit. This situation will complicate things a little preparatory stage work, because you will have to remove the device from the furniture, having first disconnected all the hoses from the house communications. Disabling occurs as follows:

• de-energize the SMA;
• close the valve responsible for supplying water to the drum;
• disconnect the inlet hose;
• loosen the clamp slightly and carefully separate the drain hose from the sewer pipe.

Pull out the washer slowly and carefully so as not to damage the body, furniture, or floor covering. It would be ideal to lay several floor rags in the place where the Samsung washing machine is being manipulated; they will absorb water that may spill out of the unit when it is moved.

Step-by-step instruction

Removing the top cover of the case is not difficult at all. Basically, it is much more difficult to get access to the back wall of the device, and this is where most of time. The algorithm for removing the top of a Samsung washing machine will be as follows:

As you can see, step-by-step instruction quite simple. However, there may be a situation where the top cover does not move back at all. This can be explained simply: it has become a little “stuck” to the fixing elements. You can deal with this problem in just a couple of minutes.

To begin, look at the upper part of the MCA and visually divide it in half; an imaginary line should run across the body. Then lightly tap the top cover in the middle, then on the right and left sides. Try moving the cover again; if it does not budge, perform the above steps again, applying a little more force.

Important! Do not hit the washing machine with heavy objects; their impact can damage the body and worsen the appearance unit.

To install the top cover back, you must repeat the same steps in reverse order. Place it in place with a slight shift, about 5 or 7 centimeters. Then, using both palms, begin to move the part forward towards the control panel. When the housing cover fits into the grooves, you will hear a characteristic click, after which you should move it forward a little more, so it will finally fall into place. All that remains is to tighten the mounting bolts and connect the device to engineering communications and electrical networks.
