If your washing machine tears up clothes and spoils clothes, you need to take action. First of all, you have to understand the causes of the failure, and then repair the malfunction.
About how to do everything yourself, without resorting to the help of a master, we'll talk further.
Why does the washing machine tear the laundry
Whatever SMA is - cheap or expensive, compact or full-sized, multifunctional or with a limited list of options, it should not spoil the clothes, and even more so - tear it.
If, during washing, things break and crack at the seams, then you are faced with a malfunction. Your task is to determine why it originated in order to correct it later.
The reasons for the fact that the laundry is severely torn during washing can be as follows:
- Things tear themselves with sharp elements.
- There are minor damages inside the drum that damage your things.
- In vertical SMA clothes can deteriorate, clinging to protruding elements: plastic chips, springs and so on.
- Damage to the laundry can occur because of the loose drum.
- Often gaps on clothing are formed due to aggressive washing regimes that weaken tissues.
Important! In some cases, ragged places appear on clothes due to overly aggressive chemistry. "Powerful" powders weaken the fabric, so even ordinary automatic washing for such things can be the last.
What to do if the machine tears clothes
You also perfectly understand that things can come into disrepair not because of breakages. Therefore, I would like to save on repairs.
In order not to call a master, we offer to understand the problem independently and to eliminate it without assistance.
Small objects were caught
When washing, sharp objects on clothes should be well hidden: clothes are turned inside or washed in special covers.
In addition, you have to shake your clothes every time before washing and check all pockets. Any small thing - from a clip to a carnation - can hole a thing. And what are the consequences if small items leave the drum and go to travel to the tank? You will definitely add worries - you will have to disassemble the case to remove the object.
If you are convinced that there is nothing superfluous on the clothes or in her pockets, and the story repeats every time, and you have already begun to mend the holes - then the machine needs a survey. In the cuff or drum, a small bolt or other sharp and small object could get stuck, which also tears the tissue. Examine the entire drum, helping yourself with a flashlight. Walk through each fold of the seal, and you will certainly find the source of permanent holes.
Damaged drum or hatch
If everything is inspected, the holes continue to appear, and you do not know what to do, look for a marriage! If you have a horizontal CM, first inspect the drum inside - it may have a burr or a chip.
Cunning! Did not find a burr? Take old nylon pantyhose, pull them on your arm and drive along the drum until the first tightening.
How to get rid of a burr? If the warranty card is still in operation, do not waste time - exchange the machine or return the money spent on it. Not the fact that the producers confined themselves to just one marriage, another may later emerge.
And if the stylalke is not the first year, then try to clean the flaw by taking a sheet of small sandpaper.
Attention! When cleaning, operate carefully so as not to scratch the drum. And also consider where this drawback might have come from - perhaps it was caused by something serious.
Do you have a vertical SMA? If the door of such a machine clap too much, the UBL breaks, which causes the spring to spring and the chips of plastic appear. They also cling to the clothes and tear it. In this case, you need repair: replacement of the lock. Better not use the equipment until you fix the machine.
You can find out more about replacing UBL in the article "How to replace the lock of a washing machine (UBL)".
Wrong mode selected
If you are used to washing all clothes in the same mode, sooner or later you may encounter holes and tears. By loading delicate cloth into the "Cotton 90" or even "Synthetic 60" mode, you risk the integrity of the fabric.
Remember that intensive washing and spinning for such fabrics as silk, wool and others, do not fit.
Worn bearings
If the bearings fail, the drum during the washing gives a shift - a large gap is formed, which the elastic band-sealer can not already cover. As a result, the resulting gap gets clothes, and there she mercilessly breaks.
This is relevant only for machines with horizontal (normal) loading.
Attention! Bearing - the most important part of the CM, therefore, if it is not replaced in time, the machine will become unusable.
Briefly, the bearing replacement process looks like this:
- Removed all the panels (top, back, front).
- Detach parts (counterweights, electric motor, pump, shock absorbers).
- The tank is dismantled and disassembled.
- Bearings are removed and new ones are installed.
Detailed instructions with photos and videos can be found in the article "How to replace bearings in a washing machine".
We advise you to get down to business only if you are confident in your abilities. If you have a glued tank in your model, you'll need to saw and glue it back. Are you ready for such challenges?
If yes, then act neatly, remove the disassembly process on the video (to collect everything back) and safely change the bearings.
After repair, your washing machine will no longer tear the laundry if you follow the rules of operation.
