How to disassemble a Candy washing machine

Often, malfunctions of Kandy washing machines force owners to acquire new appliances. Not everyone knows that a breakdown can be fixed with your own hands. To get to the insides of the washing machine, you need to know how to properly disassemble the device and what tool will be needed in the process. All cars are divided into two main groups: vertical type and frontal type. Both options differ in specification and parsing methods.

Prepare a disassembly tool

At first glance, disassembling the washing machine of a Kandy machine is not complicated, and does not require a huge amount of tools. Sometimes a regular screwdriver is enough. But for a complete analysis of Kandy, you need a little more.

First, you will need a Phillips and slotted screwdriver. A screwdriver will come in handy. To this should be added hexagons, pliers and a small hammer.

Often, most connecting fasteners are attached. Before unscrewing one of these screws, the structure should be coated with a special fluid. Such a liquid is most often used to lubricate parts in a car, and it is called - WD-40. And to make it comfortable to drain excess fluid from the hose, you need to use the basin. You can stretch a hose into it, and easily drain excess water.

For those who want to disassemble the Kandy machine, you should stock up on a camera. In the process of analysis, it is better to take photographs, so that later, looking at the picture, you can easily assemble the device back. This will not confuse anything and successfully start the machine after the repair phase.

Phased disassembly

Before starting repairs, it is necessary to disconnect the machine from the mains. This will maximize the safety of the work process. In addition to disconnecting the unit from the mains, you must unhook the cold water supply hose so as not to flood everything around.

How to remove the top of the hatch? First of all, you should remove the top of the device. The cover can be fixed using various screws, which can be easily unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver. The screws are located under the top of the panel on the back. As soon as they are unscrewed, part of the cover can be slightly pressed. Press will be required on the front side. Now you can lift the cover body up.

How to remove the detergent tray? The Candy washing machine has a dispenser that is not difficult to remove. In order to properly remove the detergent tray, you will need to find a separate plastic button by touching. Typically, the item is located in the center of the tray. Press the button and pull the container to its side.

How to dismantle the control panel? The control panel is fixed to the washing machine with two screws. The first screw is located under the powder dispenser. The second screw is located on the opposite side. The control panel will need to be handled extremely carefully, as it is very fragile. As soon as it is removed from the device, you must immediately hang it on a hook, or put it away so as not to accidentally damage fragile elements.

How to remove the service panel? To dismantle the service panel, you need to press simultaneously on the two locking latches, and then press on the third, located in between. How to remove the front wall? You must first remove the metal clamp that holds the cuff of the hatch. The cuff is installed in the loading hatch. The metal clamp is fixed by means of a small spring. It can be slightly pushed and the clamp will be removed. Now you can push the cuff inside the drum.

Having removed an external collar, do not try to pull out a cuff completely, as you will certainly damage it. Why? Yes, therefore, it is also tightly held by the inner clamp.

The hatch door may interfere with the dismantling of the front wall, so it would be nice to unscrew it. It is tightened with a few bolts. After that, you will need to remove the front panel of the device. We snap the latches that hold the protective cover. If you slightly raise the panel, you can easily remove the additional hooks that hold it. Inside the control panel are microcircuits, which can be disassembled separately, if it is of course required.

How to remove the back cover. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws. Usually, screws are placed around the entire perimeter of the rear wall for reliable fixation of the elements.

Top Loading Machine

The principle of parsing automatic washing machines with vertical loading is significantly different from the front type. Control Panel. Using a screwdriver, carefully lift the top of the control panel from four sides in turn. First, pull the part up, and then in the opposite direction. Now you can slightly tilt at a certain angle. After that, access to the wiring will open.

You should take pictures of the placement of wires before the period of full analysis. Now you can dismantle the remaining parts. How to unscrew the side wall. Before removing the side, you will need to unscrew the screws. Once they are unscrewed, you can slightly pull the lower part towards you, and then pull it down. Once the side panel has been removed, you can proceed to the next stage of analysis.

Disassemble the tank

The tank tank itself is non-separable. Such tanks are made so that during operation the tank does not lose tightness. When the washing machine is operating, temperature changes occur and fastenings are often loosened.

Before disassembling the tank, carefully inspect the outer parts and look for a seam in them. In parallel, the seam will need to drill holes for fastening the halves of the tank, because we will need to assemble the tank later. We make holes with a drill and a drill.

It is necessary to drill 15-20 holes along the seam. After this, you can cut the seam. After cutting, you can easily get inside the tank. It is possible to saw a seam with a special hacksaw for metal. The procedure will take a long time. It is not allowed to cut more than 5 cm. Otherwise, the tank walls will become unusable.

As soon as sawing is finished, the tank will become a collapsible product. Get two - front and back. The front is an irregularly shaped plastic element with a sunroof in the center. We don’t need it yet, so you can put it aside. In the back, we have all the basic elements - the drum and the rotation mechanism. It should be removed. It is necessary to turn the back so that the hatch of the drum is below. Now you can start parsing the shaft.

The first step is to carefully unscrew the screw located in the center. It is necessary to attach a metal rod in the form of a small chisel and strike with a hammer. Now you need to take a screwdriver and twist the screw. The shaft must be removed using three wood blocks (one small and two large). Large bars will be used as a support for the tank. A small beam is placed on top of the tank in a part of the rod. You need to hit the small bar with a hammer.

The part can be easily damaged, so you should combine the power of the blows (first a light blow, then a heavy one).

As a result, the drum will be separated from the tank. It is allowed not to remove the bearings if they are working properly, perhaps the problem is not in them, but in the tank itself. It is checked first of all.

Sometimes owners should change the gland or bearing. To do this, use a rod of metal and hit it with a hammer along the edges of the body. It is not allowed to strike from only one side. Even if one bearing is broken, both will have to be changed.
