Checking the Samsung washing machine pump

DIY drainage repair

Make it yourself to repair the drain pump of your washing machine, without causing a master, it is quite possible. But first, you will need to carry out the simplest diagnosis of the device.

If the machine is improperly, before disassembling the drain system, you need to make sure that the malfunction is in this place. It can be determined by several signs:

• The water drainage program turned on, but the pumping system does not work;
• During the plum, severe noises and buzz are heard;
• The water is pumped, but flows very slowly;
• During the process of the system, the machine can be disconnected;
• The pump motor is buzzing, but the water does not flow.

If one of these breakdowns is detected, it is highly likely to say that you will have to repair the pumping machine pump.

How to change the pump in the Samsung washing machine?

By inexperience, I began to disassemble the machine from the wrong end and unscrewed a lot of excess. But then it turned out that the easiest way to put the machine on the side and just remove the lower panel. The panel is more like a cardboard, but not from paper, but from some plastic. Personally reminds me of a sheet of polycarbonate from which the greenhouses are made.

After that, access to the pump immediately opens, here it is:

To remove it, you need to unscrew the screws with which it will be pulled to the body (from the front side, where the filter lid):

After the screws are unscrewed, the pump is kept only on the hoses and on two electric wires. The wires are pulled out of the connector, and in order to disconnect the hoses you must first remove the clamps with which they are pulled. It will not work with your hands, t.to. They are very powerful, but some pliers or platypes easily solve this problem.

When you turn off all the hoses, do not forget to immediately look into the one that leads to Baku. It may well be that your panties or socks are stuck in it (this, by the way, is another reason why the Samsung washing machine does not drain water). Can also be shone inside the tank with a flashlight. It is usually made of translucent plastic and all sorts of foreign objects are clearly visible to the lumen.

The removed pump is a symbiosis of two parts. an engine and a certain semblance of a snail with taps for hoses (although it looks little like a snail). It is clear that nothing can happen to the “Snail”, it’s just a piece. Therefore, I was only interested in the engine. To disconnect it from the snail, you need to twist three screws.

When the engine was in my hands, everything became clear. The engine was very worn out, the rotor dangled like a pencil in a glass, touching the walls. Hence that thawing sound during operation and a sharp drop in performance. In general, there was no doubt left. the engine should be replaced.

When I arrived at our local store selling spare parts for washing machines, the seller, barely looking at the engine, immediately said: “Samsung?”And took out a new engine from a large box. At first glance, he was an exact copy of what I brought as a sample. Only the name of the model was different:

According to the seller, I realized that 99% of Samsungs have about the same pumps and all of them are interchangeable. And exactly the same pumps are installed on most automatic washing machines Indesit, Ariston, Bosch, Siemens, Siltal, Zanussi, Electrolux, Candy, Whirlpool, Aeg and LG! I generally had the impression that you can come to the store and just buy the first pump that comes across and it will almost definitely suit.

Initially, I had an ASKOLL MOD engine.M47, Art.292261, COD.DC31-30008D, 220-240V, 0.2A, 30W, and they sold me. Askoll, Mod.M231 XP, Art.296003, COD.296003, 220-240V, 0.2A, 40W.

On the Internet, I managed to find a list of Samsung washing models, where any of these engines is suitable. I give this table here (under the spoiler).

Necessary tools

The repairs of the pump are simple, since it does not require many tools or special devices. Most often, three things are enough to dismantle and repair:

Passatii or pliers will come in handy as utility tools to remove the clamps from the hoses.

Prepare a dry rag and a bucket in advance. Most likely, the pump will have a small amount of water that will spill on the floor.

Replacing the drain pump

The procedure for replacing the pump in the washing machine begins with the dismantling of a faulty device. But even before the start of work, it is necessary to carefully study the documentation that comes with the machine. The fact is that cars of various manufacturers have a different device. You need to understand the location of the nodes and assemblies and only after that take up the screwdriver.

For novice masters, the photographic fixation of each stage of work will not be superfluous. You will get a kind of manual with pictures that will help to avoid errors in the assembly process. This is not difficult because cameras are built into most modern phones.

Replacement of the pump through the bottom

It is enough to simply replace the pump in washing machines that allow the replacement through the lower panel. These are most models Samsung, Indesit, LG, Ariston and some other manufacturers.

It is necessary to perform a sequence of simple actions:

• turn off the power;
• close water;
• Put the car on the side, with the calculation for the pump to be from above;
• Remove the lower panel;
• unscrew or remove the drain pump from the clamps;
• bring a container for draining the remaining water to it;
• weaken the clamps holding the supply hoses;
• Remove the pump.

Be sure to clean the body (snail) of accumulated garbage and only then install a new device.

Replacement over the front cover

Not all models allow the replacement of the pump in the previous way, for example, Bosch, Siemens, AEG production devices. Here you have to act in another way. get to the engine through the front cover.

First of all, it is necessary to unscrew two fasteners located on the back panel, then remove the cover cover. Further responsible moment. the panel with control bodies is removed. To do this, remove the dispenser, unscrew two screws. Carefully remove the panel and put the car upstairs.

After that, weaken the clamp holding the cuff and tuck it inside the tank. Delete the remaining fasteners that holds the front panel. Remove her by pulling.

Access to the engine is open. It remains only to turn off the power wires, unscrew the pump (remove from the latches in some models) and replace it with a new.

Access to the pump after dismantling the lower bar

Perhaps the easiest way to replace the pump was proposed by the manufacturers of Hansa washing machines. Access to the pump is extremely simple. There is no need to disassemble the car, moreover, it does not even need to be moved. It is enough to simply remove the lower bar of the front cover, beyond which the pump is located. Further actions to replace will not cause difficulties.

Through the back or side cover

In most cases, to replace the pump in washing machines with vertical loading, it is enough to remove one side panel. Electrolux and Zanussi models allow you to access the pomp, removing the rear panel. Similar actions should be carried out for the repair of cars of some less common manufacturers.

You can replace the pump in any washing machine, it is important to prepare, study its device, understand the principle of operation. Machines of different manufacturers are different, universal techniques do not exist. But in any case, it is important not to forget before the start of work to turn off the power and remove the water from the car.

Repair and replacement of the pump

After the part is disconnected, you need to check the pumping machine for the washing machine. Before disassemble the detail, you should examine the impeller and all the holes and make sure that they are not clogged, hair, thread, wool and other garbage are not wound on the blades. You need to pull out the drain filter and inspect the part visually, and then try to crank it. A proper node should turn out with pauses due to the coils installed on the magnet. If there is no trash, the impeller rotates with difficulty, the device will need to be disassembled. This is necessary:

• Remove the pump cover, twisting the fasteners or turning it counterclockwise.
• Put the latches of the impeller body to disconnect it.
• If the cross is not amenable to, you need to warm the shank with a hairdryer, and then put a screwdriver.
• Remove and clean the magnet with the impeller.
• Remove the magnet from the shaft, the bearing will appear.
• Apply grease for the pump so that the bearing has properly function. If it is deformed, install a new element.
• It is also necessary to inspect all rubber gaskets. If it is noticeable that they are damaged, they will need to be replaced with new.
• Collect a pump in a reverse sequence.

Next, you need to call the pump. Procedure:

• Take a multimeter and set the voltage measurement mode.
• Put the probes on the contacts of the pump.
• If “1” or “0” shines on the screen, the node is faulty and the pump replacement is required.
• If the value consists of several digits, this says that the pump is intact, and the malfunction in something else, perhaps in the control unit. For accurate diagnosis and subsequent repair, it is recommended to contact professionals.

If you need to replace the drainage pump, you will need to purchase a new part. You can do this in a service center, a specialized store or via the Internet. In order not to make a mistake when buying, you need to call the seller an exact brand and model of the washing machine or bring a faulty node. In the same way, one should do with other components that are subject to replacement.

Where is the pumping machine pump?

Before proceeding with the analysis, you should definitely establish where the pump itself is located, as well as all the main details. Despite the large size, the design of such household appliances is quite thought out, so you can carry out repairs without much effort with your own hands.

Popular models Samsung, Beko, LG, WHIRPOOL, Ariston, CANDY, and T.D. It is located below, so the car itself needs to be carefully put on the side. Then it remains only to remove the lid, under which the desired part is immediately located.

Zanussi and Electrolux cars are still simpler. the lid is located behind, so it is enough to expand or slightly push the equipment from the wall. The cover is attached on several bolts.

The situation is more difficult with Bosch, Siemens and AEG models, because in this case you will have to dismantle the front panel completely.

Step.by.step instructions for eliminating faults on your own

To remove and repair the faulty part, the pump location is first determined, which depends on the manufacturer and the model of the equipment (see the instructions for disassembling washing machines of different brands here).

The location of the pump inside the device

In the washing machines of LG, Samsung, Ardo, Indesit it is easiest to get to the pump, as the part is below. To get to it, just put the car on the side, closing the floor so as not to scratch the body, or just tilt.

Dismantling and cleaning

Do.it.yourself repair instructions for the repair of the pumping machine with your own hands look like this:

• Before removing the pump, the washing machine is turned off from the electric network;
• water supply before disassembly is blocked;
• The machine is placed on the side so that the pump is at the top;
• remove the protective panel on the bottom (if any);
• Having unscrewed the screws on the bottom, remove the lower pallet (if any) or unscrew the lower part of the front panel, getting access to the pump with a filter attached by screws;
• Remove the protective casing of the pump;
• Then the nozzles are felt, determining the presence of blockages, weaken the clamps, pull them from the pump;
• unscrew the fasteners holding the pump;
• disconnect the wiring, take out the pump out.

If the pump is attached to the snail, it is disconnected from the pump, unscrewing the fastening or turning counterclockwise (depending on the model). At the same time determine how easily the impeller turns on. it most often fails. The serviceable impeller is turning through the jumps due to the rotating magnet in the coil.

If the part turns easily, without delay, or, conversely, the movement is difficult, but there is no garbage inside, you have to disassemble the pump. The following actions are performed for this:

• Disconnect the impeller, pushing the latches of the body;
• The cross.cutting cross is heated by a hazelnut at low temperature, pushed with a screwdriver;
• remove the magnet with the impeller, the part, and the junction is cleaned;
• Discharges the shaft with the magnet, the emerging bearing is cleaned, lubricated;
• Lubricate the bearing located at the bottom of the case;
• worn gaskets, rubber seals are replaced by new ones;
• collect the pump, make sure that the sealing ring tightly sat in place;
• do not forget to inspect the oil seal, replace if necessary.

The pump is nicknamed the multimeter by installing the probes on the pump contacts. The indicators “0” and “1” displayed on the screen indicate a malfunction of the node and the need to replace it.

We offer to watch a video on how to check the pump of the washing machine:

Replacement of the bearing

The reason for the incorrect operation of the pump is not only the accumulation of garbage and small objects. Often, bearings that cause friction between the snail and the impeller come out of the system, which is why noise, knocking is heard during the shaft operation. In a neglected case, a complete stop of the pump is possible.

The problem is eliminated by the installation of new elements that are purchased at specialized points of sales, service centers serving household work (on how to repair or replacement of bearings, read here).

If it is impossible to lay the washing, but there is no new part at hand, take emergency measures: shorten the impeller blades for 2 mm. Do this with a sharp knife, carefully so as not to cut too much and not reduce the performance of the pump. Then the case is returned with the blades to place in the coil, fixed with latches. It remains to check the performance of the renovated part.

After installing the pump and connecting the machine to the network, she will start diagnostics and give out the results on the electronic scoreboard. If the repair is made incorrectly, an error with the code will be displayed on the display. If the machine model does not have an information display, the check is carried out by a multimeter, connecting the probes to the contacts. A three.digit number indicates the incorrect operation of the electronic control module, two.digit. about the malfunction of the pump.

We offer to watch a video on how to replace the bearing in the LG washing machine:

Where is the pump

To check the pump, you first need to get to it, and for this you need to know where it is located. To do this, it is not at all necessary to dismantle all the nodes of the washing machine. In different models, everything is in their own way, but most often it is enough to remove one of the external panels.

• The easiest way to get to the drain pump in the models of the Samsung, Kandy, Ariston, Ardo, Beko, virpul, LV, Indesit. Just turn the machine on the side and dismantle the lower lid. After that, the pump will be in direct accessibility.
• It will be much more complicated with instruments from the company Electrolyux and Zanussi. It seems possible to remove their pumps only after dismantling the rear wall.
• And the most difficult path you have to go with AEG, Bosch, Siemens cars. Their pump is hidden directly behind the front panel. To dismantle it, you first need to remove the dashboard, then the cover of the loading hatch. Check the pump in these models more troublesome, but, having gained experience, you will cope with this.

Replacement of the pump in a smell with upper loading

In SMA with vertical loading, it is possible to extract this part only after removing one of the side walls. To do this, unscrew the screws of the side wall on the back of the smell. At the bottom of the hull in front, it is necessary to turn out another self.tapping screw. If you pull the wall back and down, it will easily withdraw. The procedure for replacing the pumping pump pump goes according to the standard scheme. Do not forget to check all the compounds for the lack of leakage before the final assembly.

Smail label can be found from a passport or see on the unit housing. It will not be difficult to choose the right water pump model for it: this can be done through employees of the service center. Upon learning which pump is suitable for this typewriter, and how much it costs, you can look for it via the Internet to find the optimal price (taking into account delivery).

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the replacement of the pumping machine. It is enough to carefully read the above instructions, step by step to follow all the recommendations. and repairs will not take much time and effort.
