Dismantling the Ariston top-loading washing machine

Even though disassembling a washing machine might seem difficult, it is possible to accomplish with the correct assistance. It’s important to know the procedures if you own an Ariston top-loading washing machine and need to disassemble it for maintenance or repairs. You can save money on repairs and gain more knowledge about the operation of your appliance by doing it yourself.

Gather all required equipment before beginning, and make sure you’re safe by unplugging the machine from the power source. The key to a successful disassembly of Ariston top-loading washing machines is understanding where to start and what to look out for because these machines have specific components that may differ slightly from other brands.

From taking off the external panels to getting to the interior components, this guide will lead you through every step. We’ll go over everything you need to know to safely and successfully disassemble your Ariston washing machine, whether you’re replacing a broken part or giving it a thorough cleaning.

Preparing everything you need

There is not much of a difference between the top-loading and "frontal" washing machine devices. The primary units remain in the same location, but their internal "stuffing" is different. There are a few things you need to do in order to be ready to disassemble the SMA:

• be sure to de-energize the washing machine by pulling the power cord out of the outlet;
• close the shut-off valve in front of the inlet hose of the washing machine;
• disconnect the appliance from the sewer;
• ensure free access to all sides of the washing machine body – to do this, pull the machine out to the center of the room;
• prepare a container to collect water (liquid will spill out when you remove the dust filter);
• cover the floor under the washing machine with dry rags.

A non-powered machine cannot be disassembled because doing so could easily result in an electric shock.

Additionally, it is preferable to get ready all the tools that might be required for disassembly right away. These are the following:

• Phillips and slotted screwdrivers;
• spatula;
• pliers;
• wrenches of different sizes;
• set of socket heads;
• flat-nose pliers;
• round-nose pliers.

The type of malfunction will determine which set of tools is needed. Sometimes a screwdriver by itself will suffice. This is where you have to assess the situation.

You might also need electrical tape, WD-40 liquid, sealant, and a set of fixing clamps for the task. Additionally, you’ll need to buy replacement parts right away. Buying original Ariston spare parts is advised.

Examining the user manual would be beneficial. The Ariston washing machine’s structure is explained in the instructions, along with the locations of each component. Once you’ve reviewed the data, you can start taking the vertical apart.

Ariston top-loading washing machine disassembly may seem difficult, but it is possible if you have the correct equipment and instructions. This post will guide you through each step of the procedure, from taking off the panels and lid to getting to the internal parts. Understanding how to disassemble your machine correctly will help you save time and money when fixing issues or replacing parts. Keep reading to make sure you handle every component with care and steer clear of typical blunders that could harm your washer.

Removing the panel and water level sensor

You must first empty the washing machine of any leftover water. You must unscrew the drain filter plug in order to accomplish this. The "garbage can" is situated behind the technical hatch door in the lower section of the Ariston washing machine body.

The ultimate objective will determine the next steps to take. Disassembling the top portion of the case is the first step towards reaching the pressure switch or the instrument panel. The following are the detailed instructions to follow:

• insert a spatula under the dashboard, carefully lift the panel to loosen the two spring fasteners;
• carefully pull the control panel towards you;
• disassemble the dashboard and put it aside;
• inspect the opened programmer and the inlet valve;
• if diagnostics of the control module is required, remember, or better yet, photograph the wiring diagram and terminals to the unit;
• disconnect the wiring from the control unit;
• remove the pressure switch tube;
• unscrew the two bolts securing the electronic unit;
• dismantle the central control unit, untangling the remaining wires.

You can now start analyzing the electronic module. Examine the board for flaws, such as rust, burns, or swollen areas. Use a multimeter to test the semiconductors if everything appears to be in order visually.

Unscrew the screws holding the water level sensor in place if it needs to be removed. Try blowing out the tube if the pressure switch isn’t working properly. Clogged nipples can sometimes be the cause of this. If that doesn’t work, get a replacement part.

Starting capacitor, pump and motor

Disassembling the lower portion of the SMA housing is the first step in the repair process if the goal is to access the motor. The "vertical" is set up on the floor for convenience; it is advisable to cover the floor with a blanket beforehand. Avoiding water damage on the machine’s electronic module is crucial as it may result in a short circuit. As a result, empty the washing machine’s residual liquid first.

The electric motor must be removed, so you must:

• disconnect the drain hose from the washing machine housing;
• fix the top cover of the "vertical" with electrical tape so that it does not rise when laying the machine down;
• carefully lower the machine to the floor, laying it on the back panel;
• unscrew the bolts holding the bottom of the housing.
• use a 5/16 head to twist the clamps holding the drive belt;
• remove the protective cover;
• disconnect the connector connected to the engine;
• remove the drive belt;
• use a 1/2 head to loosen the motor mounts.

The motor can then be removed from the washing machine housing. The component is then diagnosed by testing the winding and inspecting the electric brushes. The information gathered is used to determine whether it would be wiser to replace the engine entirely or to repair the engine.

The Ariston washing machine’s left wall needs to be removed in order to access the drain pump. Cut off the wires and pipes that are attached to the pump. The component must then be pulled in your direction in order to be taken out of the washing machine’s body.

Ariston top-loading washing machine disassembly can be difficult at first, but with the right equipment and a little perseverance, it can be done successfully. You can access the internal components of the machine and open it up without causing any damage if you carefully follow each step.

Never forget to put safety first. Make sure you have a spotless, roomy workspace and that the washing machine is unplugged. To prevent losing any important parts, take your time doing every task, especially when taking out screws and other tiny parts.

After the washing machine has been successfully disassembled, you can perform any required maintenance or repairs. This not only helps your machine last longer but also lowers the cost of expert repair services. With these abilities
