We disassemble the washing machine

When the disassembly of the Indesit washing machine is carried out, as in the case of other brands, it is necessary to photograph each step. This way, a step-by-step instruction will be maintained, thanks to which the unit can then be reassembled.

Procedure:

1. Remove the cover. To do this, you need to unscrew the two bolts from the back, using a Phillips screwdriver. Then the lid is pushed slightly from the front and removed.
2. To remove the dispenser, a point is pushed in the center of the tray, and then it is pulled outward.
3. To remove the control panel, unscrew the screws that secure it. Then the panel is neatly separated and neatly placed on the top of the stylus so that it does not interfere with further work.
4. To remove the bottom panel, the mounting bolts are loosened. Then removes the rubber cuff of the hatch, which opens the door and removes the clamp. To do this, use a pair of pliers, a screwdriver or round pliers.
5. After removing the cuff, unscrew the bolts securing the hatch lock. After removing all fixing elements, the front wall of the washing machine is removed.
6. To detach the filling hose suitable for the tank, the fixing clamp is removed. For this, pliers are used. The hose can now be removed freely.
7. To remove the hose leading to the pressure switch, it is also necessary to remove the clamp first.
8. We get rid of the inner yoke, which fixes the rubber cuffs on the drum of the stylalki. The cuff is removed, the screws securing the rear wall of the unit are loosened, and it is also removed.
9. The counterweights, which must be removed in the next stage, can be located both in front and behind the device. Visually, they are similar to concrete blocks. Their function is to eliminate the strong vibration of the machine during spinning and other washing processes. They are attached with the help of long bolts, which must be twisted and remove the counterweights. Most often, the heater is located behind the car, below. In order to remove it, it is necessary to get rid of the fixing nut. Its location is in the center. Then the pin, from which the nut was twisted, is pushed inward. In the event that you can not do this with your hands, you can use a hammer. The main thing is not to overdo it. Then the heating element should be slightly pushed by a flat object and carefully removed.
10. The drive belt connects the motor and the pulley attached to the tank. Before removing it, you need to remove the interfering wires and remove the fixing elements.
11. The tank remained suspended on springs, and from below it is fixed by shock absorbers. The shock absorbers must be twisted, the springs carefully removed and the tank removed.
12. In the event that tank disassembly is required, there is nothing complicated in this process. First, you need to twist the bolt, which fixes the pulley. Then it is necessary to remove the pulley itself and press the shaft into the tank. Then you need to remove the clamp and the tank is divided into two parts.

Important! In some models, the tanks may not be collapsible. Sometimes they are sawed, and then collected back, using bolts and a waterproof sealant for this.

We learned how to disassemble the washing machine "Indesit".As it turned out, there is nothing complicated in this process. Even a layman will need to do this for about three to four hours.

Typical malfunctions

Thanks to the washing machine, the landlady can save considerable time and effort. If suddenly it does not work, life turns into uncomfortable. But not in every case it is required to disassemble the washing machine completely. Some failures are eliminated easier.

There are faults that occur as follows:

• There is no heating of the water. Most often in such a fault is guilty TEN.Much less often, the cause is an open in the power circuit. And very rarely this happens due to faulty sensors or a malfunction in the control unit.
• Water does not flow. For water to flow normally, normal pressure is required. In its absence, there is no water. Often this happens with a closed tap connected to the machine. If from the moment of the beginning of washing has passed any time, it signals about the hammered filter which needs to be cleaned.
• As soon as the machine has collected water - it immediately drains it. This may be due to the fact that the device is not properly connected to the sewer. The sowing machine can not appear immediately, but only after a while after the start of operation. Another reason is a serious internal failure, which is why software control is violated.
• The appearance of water under the machine. If before that the curtains were erased - there is nothing to worry about, just in the process foam was formed in large quantities, which eventually leaked through the technical opening. The reason can also be called a poor hose laying, through which water is supplied. For the disappearance of the problem it is enough to replace it.
• Water does not drain. Usually it is enough to clean the drain pump filter. If you regularly repeat this procedure - problems should not appear.
• Stiralka is very noisy during operation. This symptom indicates a malfunction in the mechanism. Perhaps in the tank was a foreign object, or laundry in the drum is distributed unevenly. It is also possible to install the machine incorrectly or the bearings may malfunction.

Changing the heating element

The heating element suffers most often, so it is important to know how it will be replaced in case of a breakdown. Most of the malfunctions arise due to increased water hardness, which leads to the formation of excessive scale. In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the washing machine.

How to replace the heater:

1. From the machine disconnected communications: electricity and sewage.
2. We perform a check for the presence of water in the mechanism. If it is available, drain it through the drain hose.
3. Disconnect the wires leading to the heating element, which is usually located at the bottom of the machine.
4. We dismantle the heater, but you must act very carefully. The location of the heating element should be cleaned of accumulated scale.

Important! Wires must be labeled, otherwise - there may be problems when reconnecting.

1. Install a new heater.
