Disassembling the Baby washing machine is as easy as shelling pears, since its device is clear and uncomplicated. The biggest effort that you will have to make when disassembling is making a key. Next, we will describe in detail the nuances of disassembling the Baby machines and describe in detail how to make a key.
Tool for dismantling the machine
It does not matter why you decide to disassemble the machine – for repairs or for spare parts, you will still face a certain difficulty. None of the existing keys can disassemble it. During the years of crazy demand for the “Baby”, home craftsmen and craftsmen broke a mountain of keys, but later they came up with a solution and began to make the key on their own. Since then, the era of quick disassembly of the Malyutka washing machines has begun. We will definitely share with you the secret of making the key. Arm yourself with this set:
- A tube with a diameter of 1,5-2 cm. A square steel profile is also suitable – 20 cm in length is enough.
- Passatijami.
- Screwdriver.
- Drill.
- Drill for metal 6 mm.
- A pair of bolts 6×50 mm and a pair of nuts to them.
If you are a thrifty craftsman, then you may not have to buy anything and all of the above can be found on the balcony, in the garage or in the pantry.
Attention! Make a key outside the house – where there is a vise and a workbench, and even better – a drilling machine. But you can drill a hole with a drill.
So let’s make a key:
- Measure the distance between the activator holes where the fasteners are located. It’s about 95 mm. It is necessary to drill 2 holes in the tube equal to this distance.
Important! If there is no machine, and you are drilling using a drill, clamp the rebar in a vise. Make marks with a center punch, and then proceed to drilling.
- Install the bolts in the holes.
- Tighten them with nuts

Advice of specialists
If you have planned a repair, and after disassembly, you will also need to reassemble the CM, then do not forget to capture your every step in the photo. It is difficult to remember where which part was, and even more so – the location of the wiring. The photo will help you to assemble the Baby back without any problems. Also, do not apply too much force when working with a tool. The “delicate” plastic case and rubber gaskets are not very resistant to damage. Rubber components can be easily damaged by careless movement of a sharp screwdriver, and pliers can rip off the edges of the fasteners. That way you’re just adding to the hassle. Be careful, successful repair! Finally, we recommend a video. It will help you figure out how to disassemble the Baby washing machine:
