Household work is mostly mechanized. In the kitchen, many housewives have all possible vegetable cutters, mixers, multicooker and other equipment. Technological progress has not spared such ancient homework as washing. People invented the washing machine for a long time. And the woman invented it. Then the men got down to business, installed an electric motor, built an automatic machine, and designed many different models. And for some reason, the diseases of top-loading washing machines have captured the attention of users and developers more than others. In addition, this type of machine needs more frequent maintenance.

Varieties of washing machines
Design engineers have come up with many varieties of washing machines. They differ in size, weight of washed items, degree of mechanization and automation. Different machines have different loading methods - vertical and lateral. Even the principles of washing are different - mechanical washing, ultrasonic and high-frequency. There are washing machines that do not need to be connected to the water supply.
Each type of machine has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages and disadvantages of top-loading machines
The small dimensions of the machine and the absence of a front door allow you to save a little space in the room. Since things are loaded into the machine after opening the top cover, there is no need to bend over to load and unload the machine. It is very convenient for the elderly and those with back problems. The machine control panel is at the top. Small children will not reach it, safety from unwanted switching is ensured. The machine has the function of stopping the program and adding additional laundry.
Top-loading machines have a very capacious drum, this characteristic is relevant for large families. And an important performance characteristic - this arrangement has less stress on the drive mechanism than others, so it makes less noise and has a longer service life. The presence of an activator ensures good mixing of things inside the drum.
And, of course, there are some disadvantages. Loading clothes into a washing machine requires opening more than just the top hatch. It is also necessary to open special doors in the car. The machine is inconvenient to build into the table. And some items will always appear on the top cover. Before loading and after washing, they will have to be removed somewhere.
There are also more serious disadvantages regarding the performance of the unit. The mechanical part is assembled very compactly, and during repair it is rather difficult to disassemble and assemble. In the spin mode, the machine vibrates very much. Vibration often results in an imbalance of the rotating parts of the mechanism. The inner doors open spontaneously. Rust forms on the top cover.
Vertical washing machines have a number of specific faults:
- leakage of the drain filter - is detected by checking the tightness of the filter installation and the absence of deformation of the seal;
- deformation of the rubber seal on the upper door - removing the control panel and checking the rubber for rust and rupture points (the first sign is the appearance of water under household appliances);
- poor connection of the water pipe on the filler valve - detected by the presence of traces of moisture and damaged areas;
- damage to the drain pipe and drain hose - visible when inspecting parts after a leak occurs;
- deformation of the tank walls - noticeable during a visual inspection of the device with the top cover removed;
- wear of the drum bearing oil seals - is detected during regular preventive inspection of the machine;
- spontaneous opening of metal doors on the drum - can lead to serious damage to the machine mechanism.
Only a skilled mechanic should be trusted to repair the machine. There are detailed instructions for preventive and emergency repairs, but for the successful completion of each operation requires fluency in plumbing and electrical tools and the skill of performing such works.
