Some parts of the equipment are subject to wear and tear. Each user will find it useful to know how to disassemble the valve of the washing machine. Through it, water is supplied to the SMA tank, but small particles of debris, rust and sand also pass along with the water.
We will find out what problems there are with the part, how it can be disassembled, cleaned, and measured resistance. Now you will learn a lot.
Valves for water supply are single. Basically, they stand on old models of Samsung, Indesit and other washing machines. Most often, on modern SMA, double-type valves are found. Also, manufacturers produce triple and quadruple parts.
The filling valve works by means of pressure in the water supply, which acts on the membrane. The element consists of a coil, followed by a rod, a membrane and a small mechanism, which is responsible for the operation of the damper. To establish the health of the component, take a multimeter and attach the probes to the contacts of the element. A value of 3 to 4 kΩ should appear on the screen.
If you see that the solenoid valve of the Indesit washing machine shows normal values, but the coil is deformed, immediately replace it, otherwise the control board may burn out.
What other malfunction could happen? If the equipment is installed in a cold room, then the water in the valve body freezes and the plastic cracks. In such cases, replacement is also necessary. The inlet filter mesh is also often clogged.
It is easy to remove with a pair of pliers and clean.
The design of the element is the same everywhere, only the shape of the mesh can differ.
Proceed to disassemble the item. Start by removing the coils.
Unscrew the rods with pliers. Be careful not to break them. If the stems do not give in, spray them with WD-40 grease.
Now remove the membrane from the stem.
Following it is a spring and a metal base.
Check that the rubber damper of the inlet element is intact, without damage. Clean all components and reassemble the part in reverse order. To find out whether the structure works normally, it is enough to apply 220 V.
How to disassemble the old water valve? The design is no different, so unscrew the mounting bolts.
The rest of the disassembly is carried out in a similar way.
