Some parts of the equipment are subject to wear and tear. Each user will need to know how to disassemble the valve of the washing machine. Through it, water is supplied to the CMA tank, but small particles of debris, rust and sand also pass along with the water.
We will find out what problems there are with the part, how you can disassemble it, clean it, and measure the resistance. Now you will learn a lot.
Valves for water supply are single. They mostly stand on old models of Samsung, Indesit and others washing machines. Most often on modern SMA valves are of the double type. Manufacturers also produce triple and quadruple parts.
The filling valve works with the help of pressure in the water supply, which acts on the membrane. The element consists of a coil, followed by a rod, a membrane and a small mechanism that is responsible for actuating the damper. To establish the health of the component, take a multimeter and attach the probes to the contacts of the element. A value of 3 to 4 kΩ should appear on the screen.
If you see that the Indesit washing solenoid valve shows normal values, but the coil is deformed, replace it immediately, otherwise the control board may burn out.
What other problem could happen? If the equipment is installed in a cold room, the water in the valve body freezes and the plastic cracks. In such cases, replacement is also necessary. The inlet filter mesh is also often clogged.
It is easy to remove with pliers and clean.
The design of the element is the same everywhere, only the shape of the mesh can differ.
Proceed to disassemble the element. Start by removing coils.
Unscrew the rods with pliers. Be careful not to break them. If the stems do not give way, spray them with WD-40 grease.
Now remove the diaphragm from the stem.
It is followed by a spring and a metal base.
Check that the rubber inlet flap is intact and undamaged. Clean all components and assemble the part in reverse order. To find out if the design works normally, it is enough to apply 220 V to the coils.
How to disassemble an old water valve? The design is the same, so unscrew the mounting bolts.
The rest of the disassembly is carried out in a similar way.
