How to disconnect the pump from the washing machine
Before you disassemble the pump washing machine, it must be disconnected from the device. Depending on the type of unit, you can get to the pump in several ways:
- access through the back wall;
- access through the front panel;
- access through the bottom.
Access through the back wall
Before removing the back wall, first unscrew the clips holding water drain hoseand unplug it. Remove all the screws that are on the back wall, and remove it. Below you will see a pump.From it it is necessary to disconnect the wiring. Then unscrew it from the body, while disconnecting the hoses and nozzles.
Front access
When you pull out the powder container, you will see a screw that you need to unscrew. Now at the bottom of the machine unscrew the screws and dismantle the bottom panel. Under it we will see another panel with screws, which also unscrew. It remains to remove the cuff and collar from the hatch, and press the clips. Next, drain the water, and disconnect all parts from the device for pumping.
Access through the bottom
At the bottom of the device is a door that can be opened with a screwdriver. There is a screw holding filter. The pump goes through the open bottom of the unit, but before that it is necessary drain the water into any substituted container by pulling out the filter and tilting the device slightly. After draining the water, we disconnect all elements (clamps, hoses, wires) from the pump.
Before you decide to disassemble the pump of your washing machine, check that the unit is disconnected from the electricity network. Do not forget about turning off the water supply.
Disassembly pump
Before you disassemble the pump washing machine, it must be disconnected from the pump cochlea.To do this, unscrew the screws connecting the snail itself with the pump motor.
Before removal, it is recommended to make a mark on the body of the engine and the cochlea with a pencil or marker in order to install them in their original position during assembly.
After you get the pump motor out of the snail, pay attention to whether development on the impeller. If there is, it means that she rubbed against the body, which can be subjected to deformation from the high temperature of the water. In such cases, it is recommended to take ordinary nippers, and shorten the length of the blades by 1-2 mm. If you cut more, then the pump performance may drop. Most often the reason that the water from the machine is not pumped out is the friction of the impeller on the casing of the cochlea.
The impeller should rotate freely. The rotation must be jerky, due to the magnetic field between the stator and the rotor. If the rotation is difficult, or you notice a heartbeat when the rotor rotates, then the electric motor itself must be disassembled.
Complete disassembly of the motor
To do this, remove the back cover of the engine, which is held on plastic latches. They need to pry ordinary flat screwdriver. Remove the cover and see the coil.With a little effort, we disconnect the coils from the casing with the impeller.
Now we need to get to the bearings, the wear of which can cause the shaft to run out. If you pull the impeller, it does not come out of the body, then you need to warm up the body a little. For such purposes is used building hair dryer.
We put the smallest temperature, put on gloves, and gradually begin to warm the side opposite to the impeller. After some time, try to pull the blades. The rotor should come out of the housing. Now we can see and fix faults.
First you need to remove magnet dirt buildup. If you pull the magnet, holding the blades, it will be removed from the shaft and we will be able to see the cause of the obstructed rotation. In case of failure of bearings, they must replace with new.
All the above tips are suitable for people who are confident that they can make a complete repair. washing machine pump.
In case of uncertainty and to save money, it will be enough just to pull the pump out of the machine and replace it with a new one. A new pump that fits your washing machine model can be purchased at a service center or online store.
