How to disassemble a Haier washing machine

Sometimes users need to disassemble a Haier washing machine. For example, in the case of self-repair of the equipment. We will tell you how to do the work, what tools may be needed in the process.

Essential tool kit?

To disassemble an automatic machine, you will not need many tools. If it is a small, superficial repair, then often one Phillips screwdriver is enough. When you need to disassemble the washing machine completely, additionally prepare:

• Screwdriver,
• A mallet or small hammer,
• Pliers,
• Pliers,
• Puller,
• Set of hex keys,
• Slotted screwdriver.

Anti-corrosion lubricant is applied to the stubborn bolt. After that, it is necessary to wait 10-15 minutes until the liquid takes effect. Then the screw can be unscrewed.

In addition to the listed tools, during the process of disassembling the automatic machine you will need:

• A small container (to drain the remaining water from the machine),
• Dry rags,
• Marker,
• Telephone (to take pictures of the wiring diagram to the parts).

Instead of a smartphone, a regular camera will do. The main thing is to capture the progress of the work on camera so as not to make a mistake during the reassembly process. Having prepared the necessary inventory, you can begin repairing the Haier washing machine.

We take out everything except the tank.

If you decide to do the repair yourself, carefully study the instructions for the equipment. It describes in detail the location of the main units and parts of the washing machine. Before starting work, be sure to de-energize the machine, close the shut-off valve responsible for the water supply.

Next, you need to drain the remaining water from the machine. First, carefully disconnect the drain hose from the body and lower its end into a basin or bathtub. After that:

• Find the trash filter (it is located in the lower corner of Haier washing machines),
• Place a container under the machine to collect water, cover the floor around the washing machine with dry rags,
• Unscrew the filter element,
• Wait until the water drains into the container.

Now you can start disassembling the washing machine. First of all, remove the top cover of the case. To remove the panel, you need to unscrew the two bolts that fix it.

Next, the powder container is removed from the machine. To remove the drawer, pull it out halfway, then press the button located in the central part of the tray. After that, pull the detergent container towards you.

Then you can proceed to dismantling the instrument panel. To do this, unscrew all the screws that fix it. Usually, one bolt is located under the powder receptacle, the second - on the opposite side. Remove the control panel carefully so as not to damage the buttons, the programmer and not to tear the wires.

If there is no need, there is no need to disconnect the contacts. Carefully place the control panel on top of the machine or hang it on the hook on the side of the body.

Next, you can begin dismantling the drum door. Unscrew the fasteners holding the hatch and remove it from the metal hinges. The door should be set aside on a flat surface, placing a soft cloth underneath it to avoid breaking the glass.

The next step is to remove the front panel. To do this, you need to "hide" the rubber cuff in the drum. It is fixed with two clamps - external and internal. You will need to deal with the latch and pull the outer ring out of the body. After this, the seal is "tucked" into the washing machine.

Now you can start dismantling the front wall. Since the dashboard and hatch door have already been removed, nothing will interfere with its removal. Unscrew the screws around the perimeter, lift the panel and remove the hooks that hold it in place.

Removing the back wall of the machine is very simple. The drain hose is already disconnected, so all that remains is to unscrew the bolts holding the panel and move it aside. At this point, disassembling the Haier washing machine body can be considered complete.

We take out and divide the tank in half

In some cases, partial disassembly of the washing machine is not enough - to eliminate certain types of breakdowns, you need to get access inside the drum. For example, when replacing bearings and seals. In such a situation, you will have to remove the main parts from the machine: tank, engine, etc.

There should be no elements that interfere with the removal of the tank. Therefore, first of all, we remove the counterweights. These are concrete blocks that are designed to ensure the stability of the washing machine.

Next, you need to disconnect the pulley from the tank. The bolt that secures the part should be treated with WD-40 aerosol lubricant and wait 10 minutes. After that, you can unscrew it with a hex screwdriver. Be careful not to tear the hex.

The screw should be unscrewed counterclockwise. It is fixed with a special compound that gives strength to the connection. Therefore, you will have to apply force to remove the fastener. If it does not go at all, treat the place with WD-40 liquid again. After removing the bolt, take hold of the pulley with both hands and pull the part towards you, slightly rocking the "wheel" in different directions.

Next, you need to disconnect all the elements from the washing machine tank that will interfere with its removal. This is the electric motor, drain pump, heating element contacts, various pipes and wires. Experts recommend taking pictures at each stage to avoid mistakes when reassembling the equipment.

When nothing will interfere with the removal of the main tank, remove the unit from the housing. The tank of all Haier washing machines is detachable. To split it in half, just unscrew the long screws that hold the plastic parts together.

After removing all the screws, the washer tank will fall apart. The drum will be attached to the back by bearings mounted on the shaft. The next step will be to remove these metal rings.

You need to take a bolt that matches the size of the screw that was used to attach the pulley to the tank. It is inserted into the existing hole. Then take a wooden block and put it in place. You need to tap the wooden block with a hammer or mallet until the rear wall of the tank comes off the bearing.

Next, you will need to work with the front part of the drum, on which the crosspiece and shaft are located. To disassemble the unit completely, you will need a puller. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:

• Place the puller jaws under the bearing,
• Tighten the puller thread to obtain the required tension,
• Lubricate the bearing with WD-40,
• Wait 20-25 minutes,
• Continue to unscrew the threads until the bearing falls out of the socket.

Having dismantled the broken bearings and seal, you can begin installing new components. The assembly of the washing machine is carried out in the reverse order. It is recommended to focus on the photos taken during the work in order to avoid mistakes when connecting the parts. Once finished, run a test wash to check the functionality of the machine.
