Dismantling the washing machine Atlant

Dismantling the washing machine AtlantThe question of analysis of the Atlant washing machine or a machine of another brand arises when repairs are needed, for which there is simply no money. Therefore, I want to save at least at work by buying only the right spare part. But, not knowing how to disassemble the washing machine and whether it will work out, then assemble it, many refuse the idea of ​​self-repair. If the desire to disassemble the machine is still not lost, then this article is for you, we will share tips on how to do it right.

Tool preparation

Dismantling any machine can not do without a tool. First of all, you need:

  • flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
  • pliers;
  • wrenches and wrenches;
  • hammer.

The size of the keys is quite difficult to say, you can find out when you begin to disassemble the machine. Therefore, it is better when the farm has a set of different keys. Most often, keys for 8, 10, 13 mm are required. In addition, it’s nice to have special tools, devices and equipment at hand, for example:

  • bearing puller;instruments
  • ohmmeter or multimeter;
  • screwdriver;
  • WD-40 fluid
  • a rag and a container for water.

Partial analysis of the machine

In most cases, repair of the washing machine requires a partial analysis of the machine. To get, for example, a drain pump or heating element, you do not need to disassemble the entire housing. Therefore, first we’ll talk about how to get to the nodes of the machine, which do not require complete analysis. If you have a poor idea of ​​the device of the washing machine, then you need to at least familiarize yourself with the scheme, which reflects all its main components and parts. The picture below is one of such schemes.

pump in the washing machineDisassembling the washing machine should begin with the top and back covers of the casing, which are held by several screws, but before that, disconnect the inlet hose. To lift the top cover, you need to not only unscrew it, but also move it back 1.5 cm. Under the top cover, access to:

  • pressure switch (water level sensor);
  • a transformer;
  • interference filter (mains capacitor);
  • water supply valve.

If you put the Atlant machine on your left side, the drain pump and drain pipe will be visible. The pump rests on two self-tapping screws, which are easily unscrewed. To remove the nozzle, you must use pliers.

Important! Before turning the machine over, drain the water from it. This can be done either through the emergency drain hose located near the drainage filter, or through the filter itself.

Next, you can remove the back cover of the housing, behind which you will see a heating element, drive belt, engine, tank. From all this, without much difficulty, you can remove the ten. It is located at the bottom under the tank. Before pulling it towards you, you need to disconnect all the wires and the temperature sensor, fixing their correct position in the photo. If the ten comes out poorly from the seat, use WD-40.

Now move on to the front of the machine. From this side, you must first pull out the powder receiver from the seat, then unscrew the control panel.

To remove the hatch door, you need to unscrew the two self-tapping screws holding it. The hatch cuff is fastened with a metal clamp to be unclasped. To remove the front cover of the case, you also need to unscrew the locking device of the door and disconnect the sensor from it, with your hand in the drum. Thus, the housing of the Atlant washing machine will be completely disassembled.

Remove movable elements and tank

Replacing the bearings in the tank, pulley and drum of the washing machine will require a lot of effort and time. Parsing these elements can be very time consuming. Not many agree to carry it out at home. To remove the tank from the machine, you need:analysis of cars Atlant

  1. unscrew the balances;
  2. remove the drive belt;
  3. unscrew the screws holding the engine, disconnect the wires from the engine and remove it;
  4. disconnect the wires from the heater and temperature sensor;
  5. loosen the clamps of the drain and filler pipes and remove them;
  6. remove the cuff of the hatch from the drum in front;
  7. remove the pressure switch;
  8. we remove racks and we take out a tank together with a drum from the case.

It is worth noting that pulling the drum of the Atlant washing machine alone is inconvenient, it is better to use someone else's help.

Now, let's start disassembling the tank of the Atlant washing machine. Before you start disassembling a washing machine tank of this brand, you should be aware that the manufacturer initially made such tanks non-separable. But this, of course, does not mean that this is an insurmountable barrier for us. What should be done?

  • We stack our removed tank with the hole for laying the laundry up.
  • Find the place of adhesion of the two halves of the tank.
  • We select the screws with which we will then twist the halves of the tank.
  • We drill holes in a circle (according to the diameter of the screws), it is better to drill them right away so that then you can combine the halves of the tank without problems.
  • Next, we take a hacksaw for metal and begin to saw the tank along the seam, this work is laborious and requires patience.

Be careful when sawing the tank, try not to touch the metal parts, including the drum.

  • After sawing the tank, we disassemble it into two halves, one half (lower) remains on the tank, and the second is removed to the side.
  • We take the key to the T-40 star and unscrew the screw, which is located in the center of the drum pulley. If you encounter any problems, you can spray the screw with WD-40 grease.
  • With loosening movements, remove the drum pulley.
  • Turn the screw back so that it is convenient to knock out the shaft.
  • Next, we apply light blows to the screw with a hammer so that the shaft with the drum jumps out of the half of the tank along with the bearings. If the shaft does not come out, then blows must be applied through a wooden block so as not to damage an important part.

Having freed the shaft with the spider and drum from the second half of the tank and bearings, we finished disassembling the Atlant washing machine. Next, we will need to start installing new bearings and assembling the washing machine, but this will be discussed in a separate publication. If you are interested how to change the bearing in the washing machine, read about it in the article of the same name.

In conclusion, we note that any good owner will be able to partially disassemble the Atlant washing machine without much difficulty, but only a patient person will be able to completely disassemble, because here you need to do everything carefully without damaging any important details. So be patient, a suitable tool and go for it, we hope you will succeed!
