Even though this task might seem overwhelming, with the right help, you can complete it on your own.

It’s important to realize that fixing your washing machine takes some time and patience before getting started. To guarantee that you don’t break any components in the process, there are a few steps you’ll need to take carefully. Don’t worry, though; this guide will show you how to take the drum out of your Ariston washing machine.

Without having to pay for an expensive repair service, you can get your washing machine operating again with the correct tools and a little bit of time. Together, let’s begin the process of restoring your machine to operation.

Although removing the drum from an Ariston washing machine may seem difficult, even someone with only rudimentary DIY knowledge can handle it with the correct tools and a step-by-step tutorial. Whether you want to remove the drum for replacement, repair, or thorough cleaning, this guide will take you step-by-step through the process to make sure you know how to do it safely and effectively.

What we will disassemble the machine with?

The most crucial step is to get ready to dismantle the "home assistant" carefully. You must first locate a convenient workspace because you will require a large amount of open space while disassembling. If you can’t move the household appliances into the living room or another large room, then it’s best to perform repairs in a garage or other non-residential space.

Before relocating the equipment, make sure the area where you are disassembling the device is covered with towels or dry rags.

All that’s left to do is get a small number of tools ready for disassembly. In this instance, it will consist of several things.

• Phillips and slotted screwdrivers.
• Hammer.
• Chisel.
• Keys.
• WD-40.
• Lubricant for key components of the CM.
• Additional components for repairing damage.

The component in the drum that has failed directly affects the last tool on the list. For instance, you would need to purchase the exact same parts from a home appliance store before you can begin disassembling the machine in order to replace the seal with bearings. It is always advised by experts to buy original parts in order to ensure that your Ariston washing machine is fitted correctly. After relocating the appliance to a more comfortable location and assembling the full set of tools, you can start disassembling one of the washing machine’s essential parts.

Removing the elements of the upper part of the case

Take your time disassembling the household appliance because you must first unplug it from all sources of communication. The waste filter needs to be unscrewed and a container placed underneath it in order to remove any leftover water. Next, move on to the primary task and adhere to the guidelines to the letter.

• Press the central latch of the powder receptacle in the rinse aid compartment to easily pull it out.
• Unscrew the fixing bolts that hold the top panel of the CM.
• Remove the cover of the machine and put it aside.
• Remove the four screws that are on the transverse metal bar.
• Using a Torx key, remove the counterweight and pull it out of the washing machine.
• Remove the clamps of the compartment for household chemicals, the pipe, and then remove the dispenser for detergents itself.
• Loosen the clamp that fixes the pipe to the tank and remove the part.

As a result, you will remove everything that might obstruct your future work from the upper portion of the tank.

Parts of the rear part of the tank

At this point, you should proceed to the rear of Ariston’s "home assistant." To access the pulley, drive belt, engine, and other crucial parts of the apparatus, you must carefully detach the wall. To accomplish this, you must:

• remove the bolts around the perimeter of the rear of the CM;
• remove the rear wall;
• reset the drive belt;
• disconnect the wiring from the water heating element;

In order to use an example of correctly configured wiring during reassembly, make sure to snap a picture of the wire connections to the electrical elements.

• disconnect all wires from the electric motor, remove the fixing bolts and pull out the motor;
• loosen the drain pipe clamp, and then disconnect the hose from the machine tank;
• disconnect the pressure switch tube from the tank;
• remove the central bolt holding the pulley and remove the drum "wheel".

It is best to have WD-40 on hand in case the bolt does not give in.

After that, the shock-absorbing spring fasteners only need to be removed. All that’s left to do is get the washing machine’s front wall ready once the second stage of disassembly is finished and you can reach the drum from both above and below.

You ought to now understand the procedure after doing the steps to take out the drum from your Ariston washing machine. The task is manageable even though it might initially seem overwhelming if you take your time and meticulously follow each step.

Always unplug the appliance from the electrical source before beginning any repairs. Reassembling will go much more smoothly if you keep track of all the screws and parts as you go.

Knowing how to remove the drum gives you more control over the maintenance of your washing machine, whether you’re dealing with a broken one or just doing routine maintenance. By using this information, you can prolong the life of your appliance and reduce repair expenses.
