How to disassemble a washing machine baby

disassembling the washing machineDisassembling the Baby washing machine, while not breaking anything is not so easy, despite the fact that this washing machine is arranged quite simply. It is necessary to make a special key to remove some units, and then read the instructions for disassembling this kind of equipment. In this article you will find instructions on how to disassemble the Malyutka washing machine in detail, as well as the described procedure for making a special key.

Specific tool

If you are a thrifty owner and want to disassemble your Little Baby washing machine for parts or to repair it, then you will certainly encounter problems at the very first stage of work. Why it happens? The fact is that our "valiant" Soviet engineers, who came up with the design of this beautiful washing machine, were people with humor. Their humor was so unpretentious that they screwed the activator onto the Baby machine so that it was not possible to turn it off with any regular key.

Previously, the Baby washing machine was very common, and it was repaired quite often. How many screwdrivers the owners broke, trying to turn the activator away, how many keys were bent, and some tried to repulsively activate the activator with a chisel and hammer. If you are planning to throw the washing machine in the trash can follow their example, we will offer you to make a special key. To do it does not cost anything at home, this will require:

special key

  • a tube with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm or a square steel profile of the same cross section, the length of the tube will be about 20 cm;
  • pliers;
  • screwdriver;
  • drill with a drill for metal 6 mm;
  • two bolts 6x50 mm, 2 nuts to them.

If you dig well in the pantry, all the parts and tools will certainly be found. It would be nice to make the key not at home, but somewhere in the garage or shed, where there is a normal workbench, vise, maybe even a drilling machine. Drill with a drill, but it will not be easy to drill an exact hole in the right place, especially in the tube. We’ll make a key for the Baby washing machine in order to be able to disassemble it later.

  1. We measure the distance between the mounting holes of the activator. There should be 95 mm, which means we drill two holes in the tube so that the distance between them is 95 mm.

If you drill holes with a drill, pre-clamp the tube in a vice, mark the places where the holes will be located, punch the marks with a center punch, and only then drill.

  1. We insert bolts into the holes and draw them with nuts.
  2. We insert the ends of the bolts into the mounting holes of the activator, if they enter together and without problems, that means you have not made a mistake in the calculations and everything is correct - the key is ready.

Progress

After making the key, you can disassemble the Baby washing machine, now nothing will hinder us. We open the lid of the washing machine, disconnect the hoses, generally remove all unnecessary, lay the newspaper, put the washer on it and proceed to disassemble.

  • Turn the washing machine back to you. There is a plastic plug that you need to pry off with a screwdriver and pull it out.
  • Rotate the plastic impeller by twisting the activator so that its hole matches the same hole in the casing.
  • Insert a screwdriver or pin directly into the engine rotor to lock it tightly. The screwdriver will pass through just two aligned holes.
  • We arm ourselves with our new special key and unscrew the activator together with the body.

Baby design

In which direction we will not tell the activator to unscrew, as the babies were produced with multidirectional threads.

  • The tank is supported by six screws, which must be unscrewed in order to remove it.
  • We remove the flange.
  • We remove the sealing gum, washer, unscrew the fasteners that hold the halves of the case.
  • It remains to unscrew the engine, and consider the washing machine Baby disassembled.

Good advice

Instead of concluding, let me give you a couple of tips about disassembling the Baby washing machine. If you plan to assemble the machine back after all the “repair procedures”, take a picture of each stage of disassembly so that you will not be mistaken later when connecting the wires and installing the rubber bands. If you have photos, collecting Baby is much easier. Read more about repair of the washing machine You can read in the corresponding article on our site.

Be extremely careful when disassembling the washing machine. Do not wield too zealously with pliers and a screwdriver. If you pick the case hard with a screwdriver, damage the rubber gaskets or plastic parts, and if you unscrew the nuts with pliers, tear off the edges and add more work. Have a nice showdown!
