Get ready without rushing

Any manipulation requires preparation, and disassembling a washing machine is no different. It is important to arrange every action ahead of time to avoid escalating the situation to a breaking point or a flood. Firstly, we disconnect the machine from communications and move it as far away from the wall as we can to allow free access to the machine. Although it is ideal to relocate the equipment to a garage or workshop, 2 square meters in a hallway or kitchen will do. Next, we get ready to make the required "arsenal" for the repairs:

• screwdrivers (positive and negative);
• a set of open-end wrenches;
• a set of socket heads;
• pliers;
• WD-40 type cleaner.

To make the reassembly process easier, it is advised to capture every action on camera.

You will undoubtedly need dry rags or paper, as well as a big container, like a basin. It would be a good idea to use a camera to record the location of the wiring so that the contacts can be reconnected correctly.

To disassemble the Indesit "verticals," the following are essential: experience, spare time, motivation, accuracy, patience, and patience. It is best to seek assistance from the service center right away rather than tempting fate if there is even a single missing point.

The process of disassembling the machine

The procedure will vary as well because front-loading and top-loading washing machines are very different from one another. In any case, you should thoroughly review the "vertical" design diagram before beginning the intervention. Recall that disassembling the machine yourself is not advised if you lack the necessary skills and knowledge. It is best to avoid experimenting and causing needless issues for experts if you have never heard of the terms "control board," "resistor," or "pressure switch." Now that all questions have been answered, let’s get started.

1. Disconnect the machine from the network, move it to a free place and prepare all the tools.
2. Remove the dashboard. The procedure depends on the specific model: on some, you first need to unscrew four bolts around the perimeter, and for others, it is enough to pry the part and bend the latches. The disconnected board can either be hung on the side wall, or removed completely, freeing the connected wiring.
3. Find the fasteners holding the cover. Unscrew them and remove the panel.
4. Loosen the clamps on the inlet valve pipe, disconnect the hoses, release the wiring and squeeze out the valve.
5. Unscrew the fasteners around the perimeter of the side walls, move them down and remove.
6. Remove the front door locks and open access to the main units of the washing machine.
7. We detach the wiring connected to the tank. It is not necessary to remove the drum from machines with vertical loading, and even the bearings are changed right on the spot.
8. Next, the drive belt is removed from the pulley.
9. The wiring is disconnected from the heater, the central nut is unscrewed, the bolt is pressed inward, and the heating element, after swinging it from side to side, is removed from the housing.
10. We remove the motor after pulling out the chips and releasing the retaining fasteners.
11. To remove the pump, we loosen the clamps from the connected pipe and drain hose, and then turn the pump counterclockwise.

Water will pour out of the machine when the pump is removed, so be ready for that!

Further work is done when disassembling a vertical washing machine’s cover. After placing the panel on a level surface, we pull the detergent tray in our direction until it separates from the machine body. Next, unscrew the two screws concealed behind the key, remove the button, and press the top latch. After flipping the door over, we locate the handle and "halve" the hatch by releasing the holders.

The vertical is now regarded as nearly entirely disassembled and prepared for additional work. It is now simple to replace or repair on your own. The most important thing is to proceed cautiously and remember to clean the equipment of any dirt or scale.
