Next, you need to remove the "extra" parts that interfere with the dismantling of the tank. You need to disassemble in sequence so as not to lose parts and fasteners, so carefully sort and lay out everything that you remove from the car.
Disassemble the CM case according to the following scheme:
- Remove the top panel. To do this, unscrew the two fasteners located at the corners on the back wall. Then take the lid with both hands and pull it towards you, and then up. After removing the panel, set it aside so it does not get in the way.
- Remove the detergent drawer. It's as easy as shelling pears:
- pull the tray out to the maximum;
- press the valve located in the middle;
- with the other hand, slightly lift the tray and pull it towards you;
- if you did everything correctly, the receiver will jump off.
- After removing the powder receiver, unscrew the hoses that supply water to it, as well as the branch pipe through which the dissolved powder is poured into the tank. Unclench the clamps using pliers.
- At the top of the washer you will see a counterweight. It looks like a large brick or stone. Choose a suitable head to unscrew the fasteners.
Carefully! The counterweight is heavy, do not drop it on yourself or onto the machine.
- Next, you will need to dismantle the gum seal.
Removing the rubber cuff on a Samsung washing machine is easy:
- Remove the two bolts that hold the sunroof lock.
- Remove the sensor - this is necessary in order not to break the wiring when removing the cuff.
- Use a thin screwdriver to pry off the wire clamp.
- Guide the screwdriver under the clamp until you bump into the hardware. Your task is to weaken it.
- Loosen the bolt and remove the clamp.
- With your fingers under the cuff, pull it towards you.
You may not need to fully pull out the seal.The point is that it does not interfere with the removal of the front panel.
Next, lay the clipper on its side to gain access to the bottom of the MCA. Remove the bottom by unscrewing the 4 screws holding the cover. Set it aside.
Get started electronics:
- Locate the engine and drain pump. Remove all wiring connected to these parts. If possible, record the disassembly process on video so that you do not confuse all the wires later. If this is inconvenient, then mark everything using a marker.
Important! The pins that connect the wire to the sensors are very weak, so try not to damage them. If you find burnt contacts or wires, replace them immediately.
Now you need to remove the racks - replacing the bearing of a Samsung washing machine is impossible with them. The ends of the posts are attached to the tank with four bolts, on the other side the posts are screwed to the machine body.
Do not remove anything at the bottom except the motor. The pump will not hurt you either - it will only be enough to remove the pipes going to it.
Leave the washer in a horizontal position - so it will be more convenient for you to remove the water inlet valve along with the pipes and sensors running to it.
Remove the wire connected to the valve sensor, then unscrew the fasteners that hold it in place. Remove the valve, set aside. Finally, remove the 4 springs that hold the tank.
Now there is nothing left to get to the tank - you only need to remove the wall and the front cover. The control panel is held in place by 5 bolts. By unscrewing them, you can easily remove it.
The main thing is not to damage the control panel wiring!
The front wall is held in place by about a dozen fasteners. Find them all and unscrew. Remove the cover and set aside. By the way, under the front cover there is another smaller counterweight than the main one. Take a socket wrench and unscrew it.
Now everything that previously prevented you from getting the tank has been eliminated. You can get the engine and the tank. It is important not to damage the wiring and other vulnerable components, so as not to add work to yourself.
- Turn the tank over.
- Remove the belt from the pulley.
- Unscrew the pulley with a hexagon. If the pulley fasteners are tight, drip some WD-40 to avoid ripping off the bolt.
You have coped with the routine work and disassembled almost the entire machine. Now, you can disassemble the tank to see live what bearings are in your Samsung washing machine and make sure that they need to be replaced.
Since the racks have already been unscrewed earlier, it remains to remove only the clamps and brackets. The tools will help you with this. There are usually no special subtleties and difficulties with this work.
Remove the top of the tank body to expose the drum. Then remove the bottom. As a result, you should have:
- The upper half of the tank with a hatch hole in the center.
- The lower half of the tank with a heater.
- Drum and axle.
Since you have done this kind of work, do not focus only on the bearings - check everything that you have access to along the way.
For example, you can check the inside of the tank for damage, or check the heating element for dirt and scale, short circuit and breakdown to the case (the last two checks are done by a tester). If you find problems with the heater, you can clean it from limescale or completely replace it with a similar one.
Before replacing a bearing on a washing machine, you need to get it out. Follow this scheme:
- In the tank bushing you will find 2 bearings of different sizes.
- To get a large one, it must be knocked out from the outside towards the tank using a hairpin.
- The smaller one is knocked out from the inside of the tank.
- Take a pin, place it against the edge of the bearing and tap it lightly with a hammer. Lean the stud against the second edge and tap again lightly - so walk around the entire circumference of the bearing until it pops out.
Attention! When knocking out a part, never hit the same place. There should be at least 3 points for whipping.Otherwise, the bearing will come out crooked or it may get stuck in the bushing, and you will have unnecessary problems.
By the way, you can remove bearings in any auto repair shop - locksmiths have special pullers. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, you can contact the specialists. Usually they do this work for a nominal fee.
- remove the used items;
- take a clean cloth and wipe the inside of the sleeve;
- lubricate the new oil seals with the grease that comes with the bearings;
- install the oil seals.
Then you can fit the bearings. Do it this way:
- install the part in the bushing and put it there with your fingers;
- put a wooden block on the second bearing;
- hit the part several times until it sits down.
If you still do not know how much a bearing for a Samsung washing machine costs, then we warn you that a good part costs about 600 rubles. And if you do something wrong, you will have to buy again and again or contact a master.
