DIY scarlett juicer repair

In detail: DIY repair of a scarlett juicer from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

A healthy lifestyle today is not a luxury, as a result of which many decide to purchase a juicer. Household appliances can fail, often at the most inopportune moment.

Today there are four types of juicers on the market - screw, centrifugal, combined, as well as units designed for processing exclusively citrus fruits. They can effectively squeeze fresh juice from fruits and vegetables, and each has a specific use. But they can all break.

The basis of any juicer is the engine. Today, asynchronous and collector electric motors are used. The repair of these devices is often associated with a failed engine.

The main units of units for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables include:

The main malfunctions of this household appliance are associated with voltage surges. Since the power range at which the juicer operates is small, this reason will be the result of equipment failure. It will not be possible to fix the breakdown on your own; only a specialist can replace the faulty units.

With frequent use of the device, wear of its components, assemblies and mechanisms occurs. In this case, they will need to be completely replaced.

Repair by its type is conventionally divided into simple and complex. A simple repair consists of a number of simple and inexpensive work with the replacement of attachments, nets, cord, lubrication and cleaning of the internal parts of the juicer. These actions will not take much effort, time.

Complex repair consists of the following work: replacement of housing elements or couplings, engine repair, control board.

In this video, you will be shown how juicers work. Happy viewing!

At the heart of any model of this device is a built-in motor, which is responsible for the operation of the entire device. Today, juicers use collector motors or asynchronous motors. Repair of units of this purpose is often necessary due to a broken motor.

Changing the mechanical part of the device is almost impossible. Let's consider in more detail the typical malfunctions of juicing devices. The advantages of the asynchronous motor of the juicer are that they have a very simple structure, high efficiency and easy maintenance.

These motors are not as noisy during operation as brushed motors. But, unfortunately, the frequency of 50 Hz does not give more than 3000 rpm. This is a very significant limitation for juicers.

The collector type of the engine does not have such restrictions. They are also smaller than asynchronous ones.

Their disadvantages include:

increased noise level during operation;
short service life.

The shaft of any type of motor contains the impellers necessary for blowing the stator coil.
This is necessary so that the windings do not overheat during operation of the device. If you disassemble the device and find that such parts are missing, you can pick them up yourself. In this way, you can improve the functioning of the electric motor.

Usually the juicer has several speeds. In induction motors, this is done using a stator coil section. Not all coils can be activated at the same time, as a result of which the speed of the device is switched.

Here, you can find out the cost of a Roventa hair dryer with a rotating brush.

Such a scheme is used quite often in juicers, the efficiency depends on the correct installation of the electrical circuits.

Juicers generally do not use a starter winding, but instead use a split coil arrangement. In order for the motor protection to operate, it must be fully matched to the installed relay.

So, it is quite understandable that most of the serious breakdowns of the units concern their engines. In order to find out the cause of the malfunction, and then eliminate it, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the network. Next, you need to ring the windings.

Then you need to wind the coil again on the stator. It is worth noting that the rotor does not burn out, since the current passing through it is very small. The mechanism of the juicer is so simple that only gears, oil seals or bearings can be damaged.

Fans of freshly squeezed juice and happy owners of devices for its extraction inevitably face the problem of how to disassemble their favorite juicer without fatal consequences for its functionality. There are many such household appliances on the market under different brands.

They can be made in four versions:

centrifugal type,
with auger extraction,
combined,
machines for citrus fruits.

Regardless of the model, device, brand and quality of workmanship, they all require regular maintenance. During the squeezing process, cake accumulates inside the machine, juice residues, which must be removed after each use. Delaying with this can adversely affect the functionality of the device, lead to its premature inoperability. Despite the reliability of the design, most branded devices may fail. Depending on the nature of the breakdown, repairs can be difficult, which will require special knowledge and the participation of an expert, or simple. In the latter case, you can do it on your own, for which you will need to dismantle the structural elements of the juicer.

To disassemble / assemble the device, you must have at least a general idea of its design. Devices for squeezing can have different designs and design features. But in general terms, their structure is about the same. Each juicer is equipped with:

housing for mounting structural elements;
metal (less often plastic) basket with a grater, where the product is chopped;
container for the accumulation of cake;
removable container for collecting juice;
lid with a hopper for loading vegetables or fruits;
pusher;
motor unit with power cable;
control unit with switch.

Careful reading of the instructions is essential for correct operation and disassembly / assembly of the unit. Our traditional disregard for this document and the desire to solve problems by the "scientific poke" method often becomes the cause of unforeseen defects and failure of the apparatus. Such a document with a translation into the consumer's language is included in the kit of any device from a more or less well-known manufacturer. It usually includes a description:

a device with a schematic or photographic demonstration of each element;

rules of use, indicating measures for safe operation;

the procedure for preparing for use;

sequence of dismantling of structural elements and their reassembly;

features of functioning.

Before disassembling the device, be sure to disconnect the power supply. This is not only moving the switch to the "off" position, but also removing the power cord from the network. The statement is banal, but relevant, given the potential danger of the device and the forgetfulness of some of the housewives. Dismantling the device for maintenance should be started only after the mechanism has come to a complete stop. In its most general form, regardless of the model, the disassembly sequence can be as follows:

removal of the pusher from the loading hopper;

removal of the cover, with preliminary detachment of the fastener;

removing the shredder;

dismantling of the container for collecting juice.

The removed elements should be washed, dried and replaced in the reverse order.

As described above, you can disassemble the centrifuge juicers from any manufacturer. There may be nuances in the design, but they do not fundamentally affect the dismantling procedure. Similarly, this procedure is performed with vertical screw counterparts. The difference is that instead of a grater, there is a volumetric auger in a protective casing. The horizontal auger devices resemble a meat grinder in terms of the device. They are dismantled:

removing the installed nozzle;
disconnecting the receiving device with the auger from the main body;
removing the auger itself;
in most cases, the drive is also accessible from below.

The described mounting / dismounting options are not a guide to action and are for informational purposes only. Each specific model of the device is disassembled in accordance with the manual supplied with the device, which will avoid accidental breakdowns.

Do-it-yourself juicer repair is not something fantastic. The device is quite simple and practically indistinguishable in different models. Whether it is a domestic juicer Dachnitsa or an imported one Bosch, they all work on the same principle, and are arranged in approximately the same way... With some knowledge in mechanics and electrics in stock, you can safely pick up a tool.

Juicer breakage is a common occurrence. This is not surprising, because such dacha paraphernalia experiences enormous stress during the harvest season. At the heart of every fruit and vegetable juice device is ordinary press... It doesn't matter in what form it is presented. The manual citrus juicer works by pressing and turning the fruit. The mechanical juicer is supplemented with units that allow to reduce physical efforts of a person and ensure greater productivity.

In any case, a decent load falls on the devices, and the increase in parts 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 the rotation of the screw - and it is not always able to work reliably for a long time.

Repairing manual juicers is not that difficult. If we talk about electrical models, then the range of breakdowns is significantly expanded here. The search for a breakdown must be done in two directions: mechanics and electrical.

If the electric juicer shows no signs of life, makes a lot of noise or vibrates, do not start disassembling it right away. The reason is often very commonplace. The main thing is to make a thorough external examination.

It is necessary to check the presence of power in the network, the reliability of the plug-to-socket connection and the integrity of the power cord.The latter, quite often fails due to bends or exposure to sharp objects. If damage is found on the cord, it must be replaced. As a last resort, splice repair is possible. In this case, special attention should be paid to the insulation of the wires.
The noise and vibration of the juicer are the result of improper assembly of the device or foreign objects falling into the drum.
The hum of the motor when the drum is standing indicates that the adapter coupling is overtightened. Usually the problem is corrected by loosening this part.

Other malfunctions will most likely require disassembly of the device.

The device of any electric juicer is not complicated. An obligatory attribute is an electric motor, which supplies the lion's share of malfunctions. This household appliance uses motors collector type and asynchronous... Each of them has its own disadvantages and advantages.

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

The motors mate with the centrifuge drum or rotate the auger. Depending on the type of juicer (centrifugal or screw), the connection is carried out by couplings 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 by including them with the juicer they sell.

The juicer motor is very finicky and fails when:

voltage drops in the network;
long-term work under heavy load;
moisture penetration into the engine compartment.

Damage can be caused by normal wear and tear.

For preliminary disassembly of the juicer, use the instructions attached to it. If one is not at hand, then you need to use logic.

Attention! You should never use excessive force when disassembling household appliances. This leads to the destruction of the case and mountings and is fraught with further problems. Manufacturers usually take care of customers and make this procedure as easy as possible.

After separating the remaining units from the engine compartment, they begin to disassemble it. A Phillips screwdriver is usually sufficient for this. After disassembling the compartment, the engine is freed from the couplings.

The speed switch and radio components included in the electric motor circuit are pre-checked. This operation is performed by the tester.

Even a superficial inspection of the motor can tell a lot about a malfunction:

Motor arcing and heat build-up are the result of abrasion or destruction of brushes (for collector motors). Replacing them will correct the situation.
Obstructed rotation of the armature shaft signals a failure or contamination of bearings... To remove them, you will need to disassemble the engine and use a puller. When assembling, pay special attention to the cleanliness of rubbing and rotating parts, as well as their lubrication. Regular cleaning and lubrication will help prevent this malfunction.
The smell of burnt insulation and blackening indicates burnt winding... Such a breakdown cannot be eliminated at home and requires the replacement of the entire unit.

Of all the points, only the last one is critical. All the rest are restored on their own, even with relative knowledge of electrical engineering.

Given the wide variety of juicers produced and produced today, it is difficult to describe all possible malfunctions of these units. Each of them may have their own specific case. But if you study the reviews of the owners of both domestic and foreign models, we can say that the main breakdowns are very similar.

Some useful information about the repair and maintenance of mechanical and electric juicers can be found in the video.

A juicer is a must-have equipment for all lovers of fresh juices. Autumn is harvest time. Fresh apples in the gardens of summer residents are pleasing to the eye. At first, it’s not clear how to deal with such volumes. Juicers come to the rescue. But, like any technique, sooner or later they break down. To make your life easier, you can repair a broken apparatus. Today there are many types of juicers, such as: Bosch (Bosch), Moulinex (Moulinex), Scarllet (Scarlet), Philips (Philips), SVA, Zhuravinka, Cameron (Cameron), First Austria (First Austria). The good news is that on the Internet you can find various videos on the topic of repairing juicers with your own hands.

Each juicer comes with instructions and an assembly diagram. But if you have been using the device for several years, the instructions could be lost. Even in this case, it will not be difficult to disassemble the device.

Having carried out repairs with your own hands, difficulties can arise only during the first disassembly.

The main thing is not to overdo it with efforts when disassembling. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the juicer body.

The juicer can be disassembled in several steps.

Make sure the power cord is unplugged.
We remove the product pusher from the loading compartment.
Remove the cover, having previously disconnected the mount.
Further, from under the lid, we take out the container that accumulates the already squeezed products.
We take out the chopper.
Disconnect the juice jug.

After disassembling the juicer body, then you need to remove the pulley. Usually, it is twisted off the shaft in the opposite direction from the working rotation.

To get to the bottom juicer motor, you need to:

Unscrew the screws securing the protective cover.
Remove engine guard, if fitted.
Remove the motor mount and remove it from the juicer housing.

There is an exception for auger juicers, which are similar in design to a meat grinder.

To disassemble them you need:

Remove the attachment.
Detach the receiving device with auger from the main body.
Remove the auger itself.
The engine itself can also be reached from below.

A breakdown of the juicer can be caused by both natural wear of materials and engine damage.

Remember that before disassembling the appliance, you should not just set the switch (lever) on the case to the Off position, but also completely disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

The juicer motor can fail for several reasons:

Power supply voltage drops.
Due to prolonged operation and excessive stress on the juicer.
Due to liquid entering the juicer body.

If you do not have enough experience in repairing, it is better to seek help from a specialist.

Engine problems can be reported by:

Sparking and heating. This is the result of the abrasion of the brushes from the collector motors. The problem is solved by replacement.
The rotation of the armature shaft is impeded. The bearings should probably be replaced as they may have failed or become dirty. To prevent such damage, the juicer should be cleaned and the motor lubricated in good time.
If you smell burning and blackening is visible, the winding is most likely burnt out. This problem can be solved only by replacing the engine.

These are the main problems with juicers. And only one of them is serious. The first two can be solved quickly enough.

It would seem that everything has already been considered. How to disassemble the juicer is clear. What is the peculiarity of the Zhuravinka juicer? The peculiarity is that when you get to the engine compartment, you will not see any more mounts that would allow you to access the engine compartment.
Don't worry about this. All compartments are very tightly covered with a plastic disc, to which a grater-shredder was attached. It takes a lot of effort to remove it.

Independent repair of all types of juicers, including "Zhuravinka", is reduced to replacing broken parts, such as: wires, switch, bearings or electrical plug

To remove it, it is desirable:

Place the juicer on the floor and, holding it with your feet, pull the disc towards you.
If possible, you can ask someone to hold the case and carefully remove the disc yourself.

It is important to keep track of the effort you make so you don't break anything.

After removing the disc, four screws will be available to you, removing which you can get the engine and eliminate the cause of the breakdown. The Zhuravinka juicer is assembled tightly and quite simply. Unlike the First Austria juicer, which, according to numerous reviews, causes difficulties in disassembly, in disassembling the Zhuravinka juicer, additional efforts require only a disk that closes access to the engine.

Currently, Bosch juicers (bosch) with a capacity of 380w and 700w are gaining popularity on the market.
Assembling a Bosch juicer (bosch):

Bosch products continue to be associated with build quality, functionality and reliability

Insert the cake container into the engine block.
First insert the strainer insert with the spout into the hole in the motor block.
Now you need to insert the strainer. Check it for damage.
Next, you should install the cover, and press it so that it snaps into place. The switch must be in the Off position.
To trap the resulting foam, place a juice container with a large opening under the juicer drain.

To get juice, you need:

Place the juicer on a clean and smooth surface. Turn it on.
While the engine is running, put vegetables and fruits in the loading barrel. Use the pusher pushing down as gently as possible to avoid stress on the juicer motor.
Turn off the juicer only after all the juice has drained off.

Wait until the motor has come to a complete stop before opening the juicer. To open the lid of the juicer, you must first move the switch to the "open" position.

The pomace container must be emptied before the pomace rises to the top of the container, which should be grasped with your hands to remove it.

It is recommended to clean the strainer if:

The engine speed decreases.
The resulting juice became thicker.
The juicer vibrates significantly.

It is recommended to clean the cake container and strainer at the same time.

Whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter, the body will always need juice. And it doesn't matter what kind of juicer you have: Bosch or Scarlett, Philips or Moulinex, the main thing is to understand the basic principles of assembly / disassembly of this device. So that, if necessary, replace the failed element. Let your juicer serve you long and productive. Make yourself and your loved ones happy every day.
