How to remove the pump of a washing machine Indesit by your hands: repair tips

Undoubtedly, the washing machine is our first assistant. Without it as without hands. But there are situations when she herself needs help.

If in the process of washing the machine makes a buzzing sound, which was not there before, and at the same time and the water doesn't come out.it is time to help her. Probably few want to scoop water out of a washing machine that suddenly refused to drain it with a bucket.

The Device of Indesit Pump for Washing Machines

What is the drain system like?

The used water from the drum flows through a short pipe to the drain pump. After receiving a signal from the electronics, the pump presses the water into the drain pipe and then it flows into the sewer. As soon as the tank is free of water, the drain pump is turned off.

This whole system is attached to the volute, so called distributor, shaped like it. The pump is under enormous strain, especially in the squeeze. The drain system includes a filter and it plays a huge role in the washing process. Water from the tank enters the filter, which is a grid through which large debris should not leak: coins, pins, buttons, etc. This is what saves the pump from premature failure due to clogged.

Debris in the filter

1. The washing machine is de-energized.
2. At the bottom there is a small door behind which there is a drain filter. Before you start to unscrew it, you need to put a low container or tilt the machine back and put a basin, for example. The liquid that pours out is usually a volume of at least 1 liter.
3. Unscrewing filter counterclockwise.
4. Cleaning and rinsing stage under a strong head of running water.
5. Reassembly and start the test wash.

If the drain after that still does not work? Then we move on to the pump.

Damage to the pump

Before you get to the pump and check its functionality, you need to get inside the washing machine. Armed with a wrench and screwdrivers, you will first need to study the instruction manual for the technique. This is done in order to find out where the pump is for an Indexit washing machine and other models, because depending on the model, its location is different.

How to remove the pump from the washing machine Indesit

Indesit are arranged so that the way to the pump is through the bottom of the machine. And most often the bottom is completely absent, and if not, it is not difficult to remove it. So:

1. At the bottom of the machine open the panel or door.
2. On the side there is a screw, which must be unscrewed.
3. A container for water is put up, tilting the machine backwards.
4. Counterclockwise unscrew the filter. This will begin to leak water.
5. The machine is placed on its side for convenience. Turning the pump counterclockwise, sink it inside and take it out through the bottom.
6. Wires and clamps with nipples are disconnected.

If you consider Bosch, Siemens, AEG models, the algorithm of actions is different.

1. The detergent tray is taken out of the machine.
2. Under it there is a self-tapping screw, which is unscrewed.
3. The filter door at the bottom is opened.
4. Remove the bottom panel by unscrewing the self-tapping screw.
5. After that, unscrew two more self-tapping screws and remove the rubber from the hatch with the cuff.
6. The hatch lock must also be removed. You can do this by unclenching the clamps.
7. Remove the front cover.

The impeller rotates in the working condition. As a rule, objects in the form of threads, wool, fibers are wrapped around it. All these foreign objects are carefully removed. Then you need to clean the cochlea inside. After these procedures in place the pump, the machine is assembled in reverse order. After assembling the technique, the washing is started in test mode, that is, without laundry. The purpose of it is to find out whether the noise, whether there is no leakage and whether the drainage is performed.
