Replacement of electric heating elements in a washing machine LG, Samsung, Atlant, Indesit, Ariston, Zanuss, Whirpool, Siemens, Samsung, Candy, Electrolux

The heating element is called a washing machine element responsible for heating the water during the washing process. It is located at the bottom of the tank and quite often fails. Even a high-quality Bosch machine may need to replace the TEN, what can we say about such budgetary brands as LG, Samsung or Atlant. In this case, to replace the heater, you can call the master or decide to remove the old TEN own. To do this, you must first determine where the heater is located, and then remove it.

heater The first difficulty waiting for the owners of the washing machine can be access to the heater. The thing is that in some machines you can get to it through the back of the case, and in others - through the front panel. To easily find out exactly where the part is located, which we are looking for, carefully inspect the machine.

Look first at the back surface of its body - if the part that can be removed is quite large, then most likely, it is possible to reach the TEN from the back of the machine. If you find that you can remove only a small area from behind, then most likely the heater is in front. If there are any doubts, first unscrew the back cover, because it is much easier to do than to dismantle the front panel.

Note that the location of the heater behind is typical for machines of such brands as Zanussi, Candy, Hotpoint Ariston, Indesit, Ardo and Electrolux. But the manufacturers of Bosch and Samsung often place the heater in front. To get to the heater in models with vertical loading, one of the side walls must be dismantled.

Before removing the heater, it is important to drain the machine from the pre-prepared container, and also to make sure that the machine is disconnected from the mains.

Further your actions will be as follows:

1. Unscrew the desired cover of the machine and find the heater.
2. Disconnect the wires that are suitable for the heater.
3. Unscrew the nut, which is in the middle, and then poke inside the pin, which was connected to the nut. To do this, push it hard or tap it gently with a hammer.
4. Having picked up the heater( use a knife or screwdriver for this), carefully remove the heater from the tank.
5. Check the operation of the part.

It is obvious, this whole process, you can see in the following video.

The repaired or new heater should be inserted into the hole and make sure that the part has occupied the same position as before removal. You need to achieve a dense landing. Further, while holding the TEN hand, gently tighten the nut. In conclusion, you need to return the wires to their place. Now it will be necessary to turn on the test wash by selecting the program for heating the water to + 600 ° C.If the water heats up, you can fix the removed wall and return the washing machine to its place.
