Before disassembling

Before carrying out any work with household appliances, including equipment for washing clothes, you must:

• drain all water from it;
• disconnect from power;
• wipe dry with a cotton cloth.

Disassembling the LG washing machine, as well as all other devices of various brands with side loading, takes place on the same principle. Therefore, if your “washing assistant” is broken and her brand is not LG, you can also use this instruction when dismantling.

Instructions for disassembling washing machines with a vertical cover

How to disassemble the washing machine LG, Indesit and other brands? What tools will be required for this? How much time and effort will it take to remove the top of the device? You will find answers to all these questions in the instructions below.

So, let's begin:

1. Before you begin disassembling household appliances designed for washing clothes, you will have to move it away from the wall. This is because the bolts that secure the top cover are located behind this unit.
2. If your “assistant” is installed under the sink or built into the countertop, you first need to remove it, move it away, and only then proceed with disassembly.
3. Now you need to unscrew the screws. In different models, the number of bolts varies from two to three. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this operation.

Important! Often, manufacturers make plastic round liners for self-tapping screws, so be careful when untwisting and do not lose them.

4. Now you can remove the top of the device. To do this, first pull this unit component back relative to the front with the button panel. You need to install it back in the reverse order: first move it forward, and then move it back.
5. After all these steps, you can start repairing equipment for washing clothes, because you have already figured out how to remove the top cover of the washing machine.

Disassembling washers of other brands - features

There are models in which the disassembly of equipment takes place in a slightly different way:

1. One of these is Ardo. In various models of the Ardo trademark, the cover is removed in the same way as in Indesit, but it is required to move it away from the case a little differently. In the previous case, we moved the upper part forward, and in this case, we need to move it forward at a slight angle. This should be done carefully and slowly, since the moment of removal must be “caught”.
2. In older models of the Bosch and Siemens brands, bolts were fastened to the top not only from the back, but also from the front. Therefore, initially it is necessary to inspect household appliances in detail.
