Juicer repair: how to disassemble with your own hands, instructions for Bosch 700 w, Zhuravinka and Moulinex, Autumn and Scarlet

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.

  1. Make sure the power cord is unplugged.
  2. We remove the product pusher from the loading compartment.
  3. Remove the cover, having previously disconnected the mount.
  4. Further, from under the lid, we take out the container that accumulates the already squeezed products.
  5. We take out the chopper.
  6. 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:

  1. Unscrew the screws securing the protective cover.
  2. Remove engine guard, if fitted.
  3. 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:

  1. Remove the attachment.
  2. Detach the receiving device with auger from the main body.
  3. Remove the auger itself.
  4. 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:

  1. Power supply voltage drops.
  2. Due to prolonged operation and excessive stress on the juicer.
  3. 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:

  1. Sparking and heating. This is the result of the abrasion of the brushes from the collector motors. The problem is solved by replacement.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Self-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:

  1. Place the juicer on the floor and, holding it with your feet, pull the disc towards you.
  2. 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 with 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

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

To get juice, you need:

  1. Place the juicer on a clean and smooth surface. Turn it on.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

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

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