How to repair your own juicer

Repairing a juicer do it yourself is not something fantastic. Device apparatus quite simple and almost indistinguishable in various models. Whether it is the Dachnitsa domestic juicer or imported Bosch, they all work according to the same principle, and are arranged in approximately the same way.. Having in stock some knowledge in mechanics and electrics, you can safely pick up the tool.

Why do juicers break down

Breaking a juicer is a fairly common affair. This is not surprising, because such a dacha attribute during the harvest season is under tremendous pressure. At the heart of each device for producing juice from fruits and vegetables laid ordinary press. It doesn't matter how it is presented. Manual citrus juicer works with pressure on the fruit and twisting it. Manual Juicer it is added with the knots allowing to reduce physical efforts of the person and to provide big productivity.

In any case, a decent load is placed on the devices, and an increase in details raises the percentage of breakdowns of the devices used. Even a manual juicer, presented as a press, where the pressure on the piston is produced by rotating the screw - and that is not always able to work without a hitch for a long time.

Repairing manual juicers is not that difficult. If we talk about electrical models, the range of breakdowns here is significantly expanded. Search for damage must be carried out in two directions: on mechanics and on electrical parts.

Trouble Shooting Algorithm

If the electric juicer does not show signs of life, it makes a lot of noise or vibrates, you should not immediately begin disassembling it. Often the reason is very banal. The main thing - to make a thorough visual inspection.

1. It is necessary to check the presence of power supply in the network, the reliability of the connection of the plug to the socket and the integrity of the power cord. The latter, quite often fails due to excesses or exposure to it with sharp objects.If damage is found on the cord, it must be replaced. In extreme cases, repair by splicing is possible. In this case, special attention should be paid to the insulation of wires.
2. The noise and vibration of the juicer are the result of improper assembly of the device or the ingress of foreign objects into the drum.
3. The hum of a motor with a standing drum indicates that the adapter clutch is overtightening. Typically, the problem is resolved by loosening this part.

The remaining faults will most likely require disassembly of the device.

Reason in motor

The device of any electric juicer is not complicated. A mandatory attribute is the electric motor, which supplies the lion's share of faults. In this household appliances used engines collector type and asynchronous. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The first ones make it possible to reduce the size and weight of the product, but they are not designed for long-term operation and require cooling, which is provided by impellers mounted on the armature shaft. Asynchronous electric motors are more efficient, but they take up more space and, accordingly, are distinguished by increased mass.

Engines mate with a centrifuge drum or rotate auger. Depending on the type of juicer (centrifugal or auger), coupling is carried out by clutches or gears. These parts are usually made of plastic and are the cause of malfunctioning juicers. As a rule, manufacturers always provide a stock of these parts, including them in the set of juicers sold.

The juicer motor is very picky and fails when:

• voltage drops in the network;
• long work under big load;
• moisture inside the engine compartment.

Breakage can serve as normal wear.

To pre-disassemble the juicer, you should use the instructions attached to it. If such was not at hand, it is necessary to use the logic.

Attention! You should never make excessive efforts, dismantling household appliances. This leads to the destruction of the hull and mounts and is fraught with further problems. Manufacturers usually care about customers and make this procedure as simple as possible.

After separation from the engine compartment of the remaining nodes, proceed to disassemble it. A crosshead screwdriver is usually sufficient for this.After disassembling the compartment, the engine is released from the couplings.

Pre-checked speed switch and radio components included in the motor circuit. This operation is performed by the tester.

Even a superficial inspection of the motor can report a lot of problems:

1. Motor sparks and heat become the result of erasing or brush rupture (for collector electric motors). Their replacement will fix the situation.
2. Difficult rotation of the armature shaft signals failure or bearing pollution. To remove them, you will need to disassemble the engine and use a puller. When assembling, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of moving and rotating parts, as well as their lubrication. Prevent this problem with regular cleaning and lubrication.
3. The smell of burning insulation and blackening indicates burnt winding. Such a breakdown is not fixed at home and requires the replacement of the entire unit.

Of all the points, only the latter is critical. All others are restored on their own, even with relative knowledge in electrical engineering.

Given the large variety of juicers manufactured and manufactured nowadays, it is difficult to describe all possible malfunctions of these units. Each of them may have a specific case. But if we examine the reviews of the owners of both domestic and foreign models, we can say that the main damage is very similar.
