  1. Open the door and roll the drum with your hand. If the rumble and a gnash is heard - it speaks about wear of bearings. The same thing happens when you notice a backlash, shaking the drum back and forth. That is, the drum has shifted or subsided, resulting in a gap between it and the tank. This means that the car needs urgent repairs.
  2. Run the spin program in the washer at maximum speeds. If you hear the hum and the beating of the drum against the wall, it was blown off the axis, or it hung on the edge of the shaft. There may be problems with both bearings and shock absorbers.

  3. Scroll the drum by hand. If it rotates slowly with extraneous sounds, then it seems as if it fell off from the shaft. The reason may be in the drive belt: it could come off or break away.
  4. Take a look at the back of the drum through the bottom of the washing machine or through the back panel. If there are visible drips of water, production, the cause of failure in the bearings.

  

  To summarize and consider the main causes of failure with the above symptoms:

  • Problems with the drive belt. He could stretch or wear.
  • Bearing wear.
  • Shaft Deformation.
  • Breakage of shock absorbers or suspension springs.

  Now you know what the problem may be. Need to check all options.

  How to fix the drift drum

  There are several ways to replace the drift drum, depending on the type of breakdown. You need to start with the simplest.

  Checking the drive belt

  1. Disconnect the machine from power.
  2. . Unscrew all the screws around the perimeter, remove the back panel and check the condition of the belt.
  3. If it flew off, put it on the motor shaft first, then on the drum pulley.
  4. To ease the installation, put on the belt, turn the pulley by hand.
     
  5. If the belt is torn, replace it with a new one. Each product has a serial number by which you can choose a similar model.

  If after checking it turned out that the belt is in order, continue the diagnosis.

  Springs and Dampers

  If the tank fell and fell into the case, the reason for the failure of the springs, which is mounted on top of the drum tank. When spinning and strong spring springs keep the tank from jumping off. If suddenly one of the springs burst, need replacement.

  How to align the drum:

  • One end of the spring is attached to the bottom of the tank, the other top to the body.
  • To remove the spring from the bottom, you need a large force.
  • Fix the tank at the top so that it does not hesitate.
  • Pulling the spring down with your hand, unhook its hook from the tank and then from the machine body.
  • Do the same with the second spring.

  To remove the springs from the top, place an object under the tank bottom for stability. Then use a screwdriver to pry the spring hook and remove it from the body and then from the tank. New parts are worn in the same way.

  

  After checking it turned out that the reason was that the shock absorber( damper) was unscrewed or broke? Then it needs to be replaced.

  In modern CMA models, the damper is used as a more advanced version of the shock absorber. To remove the shock absorber is much more difficult, because you have to pull out the tank. But for the removal of the damper in most styralok removed the front panel.

  What to do if the damper is broken:

  • The lower part is bolted to the body. Unscrew this bolt to detach the part.
  • The upper part is attached to the tank on the hub sleeves.
  • Neutralize the latches by putting a nut or socket wrench on the back of the sleeve.
  • Pliers pull the sleeve towards you.
  • Now you can pull the damper out of the case.

  

  In the future, they should be firmly fixed so that the drum does not break during the spin cycle.

  Replacing the bearings

  If the drum has fallen off the shaft, then the bearings have long worked for wear. This is usually heard on a strong rumble during the operation of the AGR.Therefore, at the first sign of the need to immediately replace, and not wait until the shaft is worn with the crosspiece.

  We have written about replacing bearings for different models of washing machines in previous articles, for example, “How to replace a bearing in a Samsung washing machine”.It will be necessary to completely disassemble the washer, and if the tank of your model is not collapsible, then you will have to cut it with a hacksaw.

  

  When buying, take the complete repair kit specifically for your brand and model CM.There are two bearings and one oil seal. Also useful grease for the gland, which will protect the bearings from water ingress.

  You can do your own parts replacement if you wish. It is better not to bring to serious damage and periodically carry out diagnostics of the machine.

  Now you know how to check if the drum flew off in the washing machine and you can perform the primary repair.
