How to remove the pump of the Indesit washing machine with your own hands: repair tips

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

If during the washing process the washing machine makes a buzzing sound that was not there before, and at the same time water is not drainingit's time to help her. Probably, there are few people who want to scoop water out of a washing machine with a bucket, which suddenly refused to drain it.

What is a drain system?

Used water from the drum flows through a short pipe to drain pump. After receiving a signal from the electronics, the pump pumps water into the drain pipe and then it enters the sewer. As soon as the tank is free of water, the drain pump turns off.

This whole system is fixed on a snail, the so-called distributor, which resembles it in shape. A huge load affects the pump, especially in the mode spin. A filter is included in the drain system 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 blockage.

Filter clogged

1. The washing machine is de-energized.
2. At the bottom is a small door, behind which is drain filter. Before you start unscrewing it, you need to substitute a low container or tilt the washing machine back and substitute a basin, for example. The spilled liquid is usually at least 1 liter in volume.
3. unscrewed filter counterclock-wise.
4. Stage of cleaning and washing under strong pressure of running water.
5. Reassembly and run test wash.

If the drain after that still does not work? So let's move on to the pump.

Pump damage

Before you get to the pump and check its performance, you will need to climb inside the washing machine. Armed with a wrench and screwdrivers, you will first need to study the instructions for the technique. This is done in order to find out where the pump for the Indesit washing machine and other models is located, since depending on the model, its location is different.

How to remove the pump from the washing machine Indesit

Indesit are designed so that the path to the pump lies through the bottom of the washing machine. And most often the lower part is completely absent, and if not, then it will not be difficult to remove it. So:

1. At the bottom of the washing machine, open the panel or door.
2. A self-tapping screw is screwed in on the side, which must be unscrewed.
3. A water tank is substituted by tilting the unit back.
4. The filter is unscrewed counterclockwise. This will start flowing water.
5. The machine is placed on its side for convenience. By turning the pump counterclockwise, sink it inward and remove it through the bottom.
6. Wires and clamps with nozzles are disconnected.

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

1. The detergent drawer comes out of the washing machine.
2. Under it is a self-tapping screw, which is unscrewed.
3. The filter door opens at the bottom.
4. The bottom panel is removed by first unscrewing the screw.
5. After that, 2 more screws are unscrewed and the rubber band is removed from the hatch along with the cuff.
6. The hatch lock also needs to be removed. This can be done by releasing the clamps.
7. The front cover is removed.
8. A self-tapping screw is unscrewed and a water container is substituted.
9. After removing the clamp, the pipe is removed.
10. Water drains.
11. Electrical wires are removed.

With the same actions, you can get to the pump on the Ardo, Whirpool, Ariston, Kandy Veko, Samsung and Lg models.

To get to the pump at Zanussi or Electrolux washing machines, we perform the following steps:

1. The drain hose at the back is disconnected.
2. The screws of the back cover are unscrewed and it is removed to the side.
3. Terminals with wires are also disabled.
4. The pump turns off.
5. The pipes from the drain hose and filter are disconnected.
6. pump cleaning step.

Cleaning the pump of the washing machine Indesit and other models

The impeller is cleaned in the drain pump, so it must be removed from the pump. To do this, several self-tapping screws are unscrewed located on the pump housing and connecting its two parts. The impeller rotates in working condition. As a rule, objects in the form of threads, wool, fibers are wound on it. All these foreign objects are carefully removed. Then you need to clean the snail inside. After these procedures, the pump is replaced, the washing machine is assembled in the reverse order. After assembling the equipment, washing starts in test mode, that is, without laundry. Its purpose is to find out whether the noisewhether there is a leak and whether a drain is being performed.

If the procedure for cleaning the drain system did not lead to a positive result, the way out is to replace the old pump with a new one.

Why is the drain pump clogged

There are three main reasons:

1. Hard and dirty water.
2. Foreign objects entering the laundry drum.
3. Poor quality detergents.
