If the washing machine fails or shows a trouble code on the display panel, you need to check what is the reason. To do this yourself, you need detailed information on how to dismantle and disassemble the washing machine LG.
After reading the article, you together will go through each stage of the disassembly, step by step.
Preparatory work
It should be taken into account that LG models have an inverter motor. Therefore, the order of its removal will differ from other machines - with a collector motor.
For effective dismantling of the washing machine, select the following tools:
- Screwdrivers. Three types are mandatory: flat, cross, hexagonal.
- Combination pliers.
- A hammer.
- Allen keys.
- Car keys are from 8 mm to 17 mm.
Take care that all tools are at hand. Also provide for extra space so that during disassembly there was where to turn and where to put the parts.
Before you disassemble the washing machine LG, you need to prepare it for repair.
First, disconnect the SM from the network. Prepare a container in advance for collecting water. Unscrew the filler hose from the housing, drain the remaining water. Do the same with the other end of the hose.
Unscrew the drain filter, which is located at the bottom of the front panel, behind the hatch. Place a container and drain. If necessary, release the tank from the laundry.
Now move the machine away from the wall so that it can easily approach its rear panel.
Time to find out how to disassemble a LJI washing machine (LG).
Step-by-step execution
Before you start, check the layout and order of the disassembly of the LG washing machine.
The only difference between the LG machines is the availability of a direct drive, which must be taken into account when dismantling.
Disassembly of the washing machine LG with their own hands begins with the removal of panels.
Top cover
Using a Phillips screwdriver, go to the back panel and unscrew the two screws that hold the top panel. Fold the bolts in one place so that they are not lost. Now, slide the cover slightly forward, remove it from the case and set it aside.
Back cover
In modern models of Eldje spinners there is a service hatch behind. It is covered with a metal cover, which is bolted. Unscrew the bolts around the perimeter of the hatch, remove and set aside. Now you have access to the internal parts of the CM.
Control Panel
To remove the panel, you need to pull out the dispenser tray for detergents. Pull it on yourself by pressing the latch in the center. Just behind the tray you will see three screws. Unscrew them, as well as one screw from the opposite side with a Phillips screwdriver.
Using a slotted screwdriver, unclasp the plastic latches that hold the control panel. If you do not want to completely remove the panel, put it on top. To remove completely - unfasten the wires by expanding the connectors.
Front Panel
How to remove the front cover of a washing machine LG:
- Open the hatch door.
- Unbend the edge of the manhole cuff at the base.
- You will see a metal yoke. It can be removed by slightly using a flat-head screwdriver. The manufacturer has provided a simple and convenient clamp-spring, so removing it will not be difficult.
- Fill the edges of the sealing rubber (cuff) inside the drum.
- Open the filter door.
- Unscrew the fixing bolts, which are located near the filter.
- Unclip the latches of the bottom panel, remove to the side.
- Go back to the hatch. Loosen the two bolts holding the door lock.
- Put your hand on the body and pull out the lock. Disconnect all wires from it and remove.
- Unscrew all screws at the top and bottom, which hold the front panel.
- Remove and set aside.
Counterweights
Counterweights weigh the tank, not allowing it to beat against the walls during vibration. After removing the panel, you will see two counterweights around the CMA hatch.
To remove them, unscrew the bolts using the torx head. You are already on the way to completely disassemble the LG machine. Also remove the upper counterweight.
Basic Details
Now you need to disconnect all the parts that are located on top of the tank.
To remove the hopper of the dispensing tray, unscrew the screws from the top, disconnect the branch pipe from the bottom. Disconnect the input valve contacts. To remove the valve, unscrew the two screws at the rear. Pull out the hopper together with the valve.
We disassemble the washing machine LG further: disconnect a hose of the pressure switch, leading to a tank. Inspect the tank, check the connections, parts that might prevent it from being removed. If you have disconnected everything, move down the hull.
Remove the engine
First you need to disconnect the drainage pipe. With the help of pliers, loosen the metal pipe clamp and unplug it. Sometimes these clamps are fixed with a bolt, which must be unscrewed.
Unfasten all wires leading to the motor. It happens, that to the engine conduct the bundles of wires, fastened by clamps. They need to be taken out of the way.
Disconnect the connectors of the wires leading to the heating element. It's not necessary to get the heater. Before dismantling the LG Stiralk, remove the motor:
- Remove the motor cover by unscrewing the center screw.
- You will see six more locks located on the engine.
- Unscrew all bolts.
After you lifted the engine, the tank behind does not hold anything, except the racks.
Racks
Stands SM are mounted with plastic rods. Take a head size of 14 mm, bring it to the back of the rack and put it on the bolt. Thus, you will neutralize the latches, which otherwise would not allow you to get the rod.
Pincers grab the edge of the rod, pull at yourself and get it out.
Now consider how to remove the drum and tank in the washing machine LG.
Tank and drum
The tank remained hanging on the hooks. All you need is to remove it from the hooks, lifting it up slightly. Lay it on a flat surface.
Before the complete disassembly, it remains only to get the drum.
- Unscrew the bolts holding the two parts of the tank around the perimeter.
- Remove the upper half to the side.
- Turn the bottom. Slightly tap the hammer with a hammer to drop the drum from the tank.
Self-disassembly of the machine and preparation for repair are over.
