Disassembly and repair of the electric Zhuravinka juicer

As you may have guessed, we are not talking here about the obvious things described in the instructions. We are interested in dismantling solely for the purpose of repair or cleaning, if the device suddenly began to act up. We learn how to disassemble at home centrifugal juicer "Zhuravinka."

Disassembly stages

No matter how reliable a thing is, over time it can fail. The reason for this may be overload during operation, pollution, leakage of various liquids to electrical parts, which can lead to short circuits and breakage.

In order to carry out repairs, we need to get to the compartment with the electric motor, which is located in the bottom of the Zhuravinka juicer, so we need to start disassembling it from above (more about the internal structure - device and principle of operation of a modern juicer).But even having removed from it all the removable parts involved in the grinding of vegetables, you will not see any more latches or fasteners, allowing you to disassemble the engine compartment.

However, this is only an appearance: in fact, there are no special difficulties here. All cap screws are hidden under the plastic disc, which was fastened with a metal grater for grinding products. It simply “sits” very tightly on the motor shaft and in order to remove it, you need to exert considerable effort.

To do this, put the juicer on the floor and hold it with your feet or with other help, carefully pull the plastic disc from the shaft with your hands, trying not to allow large bends. From the first time it may not work, but attempts should continue. The main thing is not to overdo it and do not break anything.

Under the disk you will find four screws, unscrewing which, you divide the body of the juicer into two parts and get access to all its internals and, probably, guess the cause of the malfunction.

Knowledge of the internal device can be useful to you when creating homemade juicer.

Features of repair

Self repair all types of juicers, including "Zhuravinki", is reduced to the replacement of defective parts, such as: wires, switches, bearings or electric plug. But more often, it is simply necessary to clean the engine compartment (and the motor itself) from the garbage that fell into it during operation: dust, juice, oil cake, etc. It may still be necessary to lubricate moving parts.

But if the electric motor winding has burned out and it does not work when there is voltage at the terminals (this can be found out with the help of an electrical tester), then one cannot do without the help of a specialist.

Rewinding a winding requires not only knowledge of electrical engineering, but also the availability of special tools and consumables.

Conclusion 

The Zhuravinka juice extractor of the Belarusian production is as reliable as it is ancient. There are no complicated control microcircuits in it that could burn out from the second voltage drop in the network. So it is quite possible to fix it. on their own. For her, even the combustion of an electric motor is not critical, since it is maintainable, unlike modern models of juicers.
