IMHO no. I remember this car as a bad dream.

Doesn't buzz and water doesn't flow? Then, most likely a pump. It hums, but the water does not flow - a blockage. It was the same, changing the pump assembly. Repaired. Then, however, I bought another, but I sold this one (without blushing) and now I have already invested THIS deny in a new one. And so - he will go to the dacha.

GenVik, thanks for the experience and good advice.
Actually, this apparatus is working there for me - at the dacha. But it's a pity to throw it away - after all, I plowed it honestly. And - again, purely from my experience - not bad at all.
Thank you all for your opinions. I will renovate. I will report on the results.

Eureka-92 semiautomatic device smp-3B got nothing for nothing, no instructions tell me how to use it with parents for a year already - but they wash it with a "baby"

The other day I got, as they say, for free, a washing machine Eureka 3M. I found various information on the instructions for it: ">
I read it, just did not understand how to turn on all these modes. Can someone experienced step by step can explain. She has a handle and some other arrow under the handle, what can I do with it?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Turn the knob CLOCKWISE to the desired program, then press on it - the machine turns on. After completing the stage of the program, when you need to pour water, the handle rises automatically, after filling it with water you need to press it again.

In Moscow, a slightly modified Eurikon car is being produced with the same components, spare parts, and so on in MAI at the Aviamatika firm near Hydroproject. Volokolamskoe shosse, building 4 (it seems, building 23, when you call the company, look at the map for the corner building). Metro Voykovskoe, last. the carriage from the center, in the underpass, turn right, and when going up, turn left, go forward along Volokoly. highway, cross the railroad. the road across the Victory Bridge, on the right is the corner building. 8-499-158-43-89, 8-495-734-93-48, -916-676-99-50. To the right of the bridge is 4 checkpoint MAI, call the local phone 43-89 there. The old Eureka car is also being repaired (with a visit to the house too), since all the units fit. Just call in advance and specify your modification of "Eureka". The repairman for this car told me that if the engine is running in the old car, it is better to repair the old car than to buy a new Eurekon. I can’t find instructions for using “Eureka-3M”, there is only a repair manual.

Eureka smashed the bathroom floor tiles during the spin cycle, but made a nice bathroom bench (the rest of the time). Probably its only useful quality.

Like automatic AGRs, semiautomatic devices have a number of typical breakdowns, which we will look into below - you will find out the causes of failures and ways to eliminate common problems.

Despite the fact that the market is full of modern automatic washing machines, semiautomatic devices have not yet been forgotten. They are happily bought up by summer residents and people living in private houses without running water.

A semi-automatic washing machine is considered simpler, but nevertheless, the list of possible breakdowns is impressive. This is provided by a specific design. If the semiautomatic clipper does not work, this can be due to a number of reasons.

Burnt contacts or broken wiring supplying the electric motor can cause a failure. The timer, thermal sensor or motor could break; capacitor or relay responsible for starting the engine. A breakdown of the transformer is not excluded.

And worn-out brushes are the cause of the motor breakdown of every second SM of a semi-automatic type.In this case, disassembly and repair of the motor is required, accompanied by the replacement of brushes.

If the CM with the centrifuge does not spin, but the engine is working, it is not a fact that this is a breakdown. You may have overloaded the tank with wet laundry. But there may also be a malfunction of the brake that blocks the drum.

The drum can also jam due to too much water or debris, small objects, and laundry getting into the tank. Then repairs are not needed - it is enough to disassemble the tank and remove the foreign body.

Possible reasons for such a failure of the SM brand "Slavda":

• The laundry has gotten into a lump and lies on one side, because of which the rotor sways and hits the tank. This will block spinning and machine operation.
• With long service life, the bushings could wear out. If they are broken, the rotor does not spin as expected - repair is required.
• Drive belt slipped off or broken. You need to put the assembly back or replace it.

Let's name 8 reasons for this failure:

1. The tank is damaged and leaking.
2. The fasteners are broken or stretched, the joints of the hoses with the centrifuge parts have weakened. Weak point - connecting hoses to a pump or tank.
3. The diaphragm is out of order or its attachments are broken.
4. The cuff on the drain valve is loose or torn.
5. The casing of the drain pump is damaged.
6. The water drain valve mechanism is broken.
7. Damaged pipe or hose.
8. The cover seals on the drain pump are damaged, so the pump is leaking water.

Reasons for the failure of the drain: blockage of the drain hose or pump. Do not exclude a breakdown of the impeller - with it, the water drain first slows down, and then disappears.

The machine can retain water for a long time also for mechanical reasons that are not breakdowns:

• Laundry has accidentally fallen into the centrifuge drain hole.
• The water drain hose is kinked or kinked.

If water "migrates" from the washing tub to the spinning container with a centrifuge, then the bypass hole is out of order. A more precise reason is the wear of the valve gum, due to which water is not retained in the drum. Repair is indispensable.

When the SM does not start, the reason must be looked for in an electrician - it may be a breakdown of the plug, power cord or relay. Often a failure occurs when the motor fails. Maintenance and repair of electrics, engine inspection is required.

Important! This is not a complete list of malfunctions of semi-automatic machines. But often the problems are superficial and are not breakdowns. Thus, the level sensor failure is eliminated by straightening the clamped drain hose.

The list of tools that will be useful to you when repairing the SM depends on the model and the breakdown, but in almost any failure you need the following:

• pliers;
• a set of plus and minus screwdrivers;
• silicone sealant or "cold welding" (HS);
• tester;
• heads, open-end wrenches (6-24 mm);
• round nose pliers.

• capacitor;
• suitable relay;
• brushes;
• drive belt;
• transformer;
• tanks - for washing and spinning;
• clamps of a suitable diameter;
• elements of the drain and filling system - hoses and pipes;
• diaphragm;
• "Trifle": cuff, sleeve, valve and so on.

Important! It is worth buying only the part that is needed in a particular case. First determine the breakdown, and then go for spare parts.

All breakdowns can be ordered in order to describe the procedure for correcting them. Let's start with the electrical component.

The diagram below is suitable for any semi-automatic washing machine (with or without rinsing and a centrifuge: "Eureka", "Saturn", "Siberia", "Assol", "Feya" or "Slavda"):

• Check the integrity of the power cord.
• Examine the plug and socket.
• Look under the dashboard (disassembly is determined by your CM model).
• Armed with a tester, check the contacts. If you find a broken wire or low voltage, you will also find the cause of the failure.
  
• Ring the relay and capacitors with a tester. If you find broken elements, replace them - they cannot be repaired.
• Check the step-down transformer. If you find a problem, change it.
• Check the contacts - they could burn out.
• Only after checking all of the above components can you start checking the motor brushes. If you find traces of worn out brushes, replace them with new ones.

On a note. Read about how to disassemble the favorite model of summer residents in the article "How to disassemble the Baby washing machine."

If the water inlet does not work, we carry out repair work further:

• Even before disassembling the case, you must manually check the hoses and their connections for leaks.
  
• Next, disassemble the machine to gain access to the drain pump.
  
• Remove the pump, clean it and reinstall it (check if the impeller is broken).
• Check associated parts - diaphragm, gaskets and diaphragms. If you find defective parts, install new ones.
  
• Remove the tank and inspect it for damage.
  
• Once you find the holes, seal them with sealant or XC. Let the product dry, and then reassemble the washer.

The problems of moving elements in "Slavda" (or another brand) are solved as follows:

• Check the drum - it must not come into contact with the brake. If this happens, it is difficult for the drum to spin, this blocks its revolution.
• Take out the drum to inspect the tank - there may be blockages in it.
• Inspect bushings - replace parts if worn out.
  
• Check the condition of the drive belt. Its tension must be as high as possible in order to transfer engine speed to the drum. If damaged, do not try to glue the belt, only replacement is relevant here.

If at first glance a semiautomatic machine is simple, then in practice you will understand that its repair requires knowledge and experience. By following the instructions, you will be able to fix the washer yourself. And if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to contact a good master.

For some reason, our industry prefers polymers as a material for driving pulleys of household units: polyethylene, nylon, etc. Under the influence of high temperatures arising from the friction of the belt along the pulley groove, this material softens and the pulley breaks down.

The drive pulley in Eureka washing machines, mounted on the motor shaft, is made of polymer. When the machine is operating in the reverse mode of the main wash, and especially the spin cycle, the belt melts a groove in it and falls off. Car is not working. It happened to me two months after the purchase.

To repair the car, you will have to remove the electric motor along with the pulley. The melted pulley is welded to the shaft tightly and it is impossible to remove it. And this is not required. Prepare several strips of fiberglass across the width of the melted groove and dilute a small amount of epoxy glue or putty. Lubricate the bottom of the groove with epoxy glue and, while rotating the motor shaft by hand, wind the strips of fiberglass until no more resin seeps between the threads. It is necessary to coat with epoxy and wind the fiberglass onto the pulley until the groove of the pulley is completely filled. After 6-7 hours, when the glue or putty hardens, you can start forming new grooves. An ordinary metal hacksaw is suitable for this purpose.

Connect the engine to the electrical circuit of the washing machine and turn it on. Press the hacksaw blade against the rotating drum, as shown in the figure, and saw several grooves to a depth of 12 mm. Then, without turning off the engine, shape and file the edges of the grooves. In this case, you must use a cardboard template. Such a pulley will last for many more years.

The proposed method is applicable for repairing and even manufacturing practically any pulleys without a lathe. Only when manufacturing on the motor shaft it is necessary to tightly put on two cardboard washers, the outer diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the pulley, and the diameter of the holes in them corresponds to the diameter of the motor shaft. The distance between the washers is equal to the thickness of the produced pulley.

Broke down washing machine EUREKA-semiautomatic device 3M... Served faithfully for over 20 years.
Diagnosis: water does not drain out after washing.
The filter is clean, there are no kinks in the drain hose. Found a specialist - says that repairs are possible. Either cleaning or replacing the drain pump.
I would like to ask, just in case: can this be the only reason? Does it make sense to make this repair? For the money it seemed to me acceptable - but can I immediately invest it in the purchase of a new car? It's just a pity for an old friend - hums, groans, but pulls the strap. He just doesn't pour out the water.

Despite the fact that automatic washing machines have firmly entered our life, semi-automatic units are not going to give up their positions yet. They are used in apartments with small bathrooms, as well as in summer cottages and in rural areas, where there is no way to connect automatic equipment. In this article, we will look at how convenient, efficient and economical the Eureka semi-automatic washing machine can be.

Unlike machines-"automatic", the washing machine-semi-automatic "Eureka" has the following features:

• Loading of linen is exclusively vertical.
• Fewer wash modes.
• The need to perform some of the operations manually.
• The need for control over the washing process by the hostess.
• Light weight.
• Smaller dimensions in comparison with the “automatic”.
• Simple controls.
• Shorter washing times. For example, freshening up lightly soiled items takes only 5 minutes. For comparison - washing in an automatic washing machine on a “fast” mode will take half an hour.
• Great reliability - this technique rarely fails, since in fact there is nothing to break in it.
• Lower price.
• For devices with two tanks - the possibility of simultaneous washing and spinning in different tanks ..

1. Saving water and energy.
2. Ease of operation. If you need to wash your laundry quickly, the semi-automatic machine will do the job perfectly.
3. Possibility of using any washing powder: for manual and automatic washing.
4. Ability to add forgotten laundry at any time.
5. Saving water and detergent by washing colored and heavily soiled items in the same water where white or less soiled items were washed.
6. Low cost.
7. Less wear and tear on linen.
8. Compact dimensions.

Important! The Eureka washing machine helps out perfectly in homes without a centralized water supply. Therefore, semi-automatic CMs are so popular in rural areas and country houses.

The semiautomatic machine also has disadvantages. They are as follows:

• The need to fill in rinsing water.
• Models without a spin function are only intended for washing laundry. You have to manually wring out the washed items.
• Low washing efficiency.
• The semiautomatic machine cannot be left for a long time, since the washing process also involves manual manipulations: draining water, removing things, spinning, etc.
• Inconvenience arising if it is impossible to heat the water.
• Due to vertical loading, different items cannot be stored on the washing machine, which is a rather tangible disadvantage for a small bathroom.
• Minimum loading weight. Automatic type machines are designed for a large load of dry laundry.
• The need to purchase additional filters for water purification.

Important! Washing machine "Eureka" has a limited area of ​​use. Some items made from delicate materials cannot be machine washed.

Semi-automatic washing machine "Eureka" consists of the following units: body, washing tank and control unit.

In more detail, it differs in the following device:

• The body of the washing machine is collapsible, has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, front and back walls, sidewalls, base and top panel.Made of decorative coated stainless steel sheets.
• The machine is equipped with a pump that serves to drain and pump water. There is a removable filter that must be periodically cleaned of contamination.
• The electrical cord is hidden in a special niche located on the back of the device.
• There are also fittings through which, with the help of hoses, clean water is supplied to the machine and the spent soap solution is drained.
• The control box is located on the top of the machine. It includes a time switch, a water level indicator, a mode switch and an information panel.

It will take some time to put things in order with the Eureka semiautomatic washing machine. Allocate for this, for example, half the day off. Here is the sequence of actions:

1. Sort laundry according to color, texture and degree of soiling.
2. It is advisable to soak things the day before.
3. Heat up enough water to fill the tank.
4. Add the selected detergent according to the instructions.
5. Load the laundry into the machine.
6. Connect the CM to the mains.
7. Set the timer to the required time.
8. At the end of the wash, transfer the laundry to the second tub and turn on the spin mode.

• The weight of the loaded linen is 3 kg.
• Modes: normal, gentle wash. There are also 4 modes for rinsing, including an additional rinse.
• The amount of water required for 1 wash is 39 liters.
• Energy class - A.
• Washing efficiency class - B.
• Spin class - D.

Important! Main advantages: ease of use, no need to connect to a water supply, low cost.

The main disadvantage: large mass (70 kg) with compact dimensions, which creates certain inconveniences during transportation.

Consumer reviews boil down to something like this. Of course, the Eureka semi-automatic washing machine is not an automatic machine where the machine takes over the entire washing cycle. The quality of the washing is not bad, but, as is the case with all "semi-automatic" machines, washing requires the participation of the hostess. As a budget option for a summer residence, “more than” is suitable.

There are some remarks regarding the operation:

• The unit has no protection against increased foaming. If you overdo it with the powder, then the whole bathroom will be in foam.
• When spinning, it is important to evenly distribute things in the tank, otherwise the vibration will be very strong.
• The disadvantage is the rigid mounting of the tank. In the process of washing, the machine jumps, “like Baba Yaga in a mortar”.
• Neighbors may be unhappy with increased noise. But in general, since a regular wash takes much less time, you will not bother them or yourself much.

Important! However, all these shortcomings are covered by the fact that the car is very reliable, from the category of "unkillable".

So, the Eureka washing machine justifies itself in many situations. It is significantly cheaper than automatic machines, and the quality of washing is quite “up to the mark”. The presence of a plumbing is not at all necessary. Water from a well or well, naturally purified using a special filter, will do.
