How to disassemble a Samsung vacuum cleaner: typical breakdowns + detailed instructions on disassembling the vacuum cleaner

A broken home vacuum cleaner can dramatically change your plans, ruin your mood, and even reduce your family budget.However, you shouldn’t immediately jump on the bandwagon and go looking for a more reliable replacement. You can try to repair the unit at home. This solution to the problem will save a considerable amount, don’t you agree?

Let's find out how to disassemble a Samsung vacuum cleaner in order to independently return it to functionality. The design of many cleaning units is similar, so the proposed instructions can also be used when repairing models from other manufacturers. The main thing is to act carefully and without haste.

Minor faults and their elimination

If the vacuum cleaner begins to act strangely - to perform its functions incorrectly, to make loud noise, to vibrate - it needs help.

Most often, the cause of the malfunction is the cleaning process itself: the dust bag is completely filled or one of the filters is clogged with debris.

In fact, partial disassembly of the vacuum cleaner is a stage of regular maintenance, especially for models with a multi-stage filtration system

Some vacuum cleaners are easy to disassemble, while others require certain knowledge. To avoid mistakes, we recommend that you often look at the instructions, which are equipped with diagrams and tips.

Often repair the vacuum cleaner You can do it on your own, but if you are not good at repairing equipment, it is better to take the device to a service center, to specialists.

Problem #1 - suction power has dropped sharply

If you notice that dust is poorly absorbed, and small debris remains completely untouched on the floor, you will have to find out the reason through partial disassembly. First you need to make sure that everything is in order with the pipe, hose and brush.

Procedure:

• disconnect the hose from the vacuum cleaner;
• separate the pipe from the hose;
• remove the nozzle;
• carefully inspect each part;
• try to blow out the pipe and hose.

If a large object (a plastic bag, a sock, a sheet of paper) gets into one of the elements, you need to carefully remove it, then reassemble it in the reverse order and try to start the device.

Often the cause of weak traction is hair wound around the brush or pieces of large debris stuck in the curved outlet of the nozzle. If the cause cannot be eliminated without disassembly, you will have to unscrew the fasteners and separate the external elements

Sometimes the traction weakens simply because you accidentally touched the power regulator and set it to minimum. Be sure to check it before any disassembly. Another reason for weakening traction is hose breakage.

Problem #2 - the vacuum cleaner filters are clogged

Unusual sound, weak traction, stoppage of operation - the consequences of clogged filters. For devices with a fill indicator, this can also be determined by the red light coming on. Modern devices provide everything to ensure that filters can be accessed quickly and easily.

Usually there are two main elements that need to be cleaned - a plastic cyclone filter (a transparent reservoir with compartments) and a sponge enclosed in a plastic container. But sometimes it is necessary to replace the HEPA filter, and for washing units - additional engine protection.

As you can see, disassembling a Samsung vacuum cleaner to clean the filters is simple and quick. The elements are washed in warm water with a non-aggressive detergent. Then they need to be dried and reassembled.

Problem #3 - the device does not turn on

The standard test when the device is not working is to plug it into the network. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the outlet and the power control button is set to the correct setting.

Typically, Samsung brand devices are equipped with LED indicators. When working properly, they light up green, when the dust bin is full, they light up red.

If the indication does not work and the vacuum cleaner does not make noise, most likely the motor will have to be repaired or replaced. But problems with the board are also possible, so disassembling the case is necessary in any case.

Step-by-step instructions for complete disassembly

Partial disassembly is performed when replacing or cleaning filters, but in order to remove the engine, it is necessary to disassemble the device completely.We offer detailed photographic disassembly instructions that will help you cope with the repair of the Samsung vacuum cleaner yourself.

Stage #1 - we diagnose the breakdown

When you use one device for a long time, you can perfectly imagine how it behaves during operation.

An experienced user does not need to look at the bag or tank full indicator; it even determines by sound when it is time to empty the dust container or filters. Consequently, he will also determine the fact of a malfunction by the unusual behavior of the assistant.

If an overfilled vacuum cleaner begins to hum or hiss, then a mechanism with a broken motor or board makes intermittent sounds, begins to “spit” dust, smells like burnt wires, or simply does not respond to being plugged in.

You should be wary if, after emptying the tank or washing the filters, the device makes noise, but does not perform its main function - it does not suck up dust. Also, not everything is in order if there is traction, but it is very weak and cannot be changed with the adjustment button

If you doubt the serviceability of the vacuum cleaner, you can try to disassemble it. This is a simple procedure that does not require special knowledge or special skills. As instructions, you can use videos or photo instructions from craftsmen, carefully filmed by them and posted on the Internet.

Stage #2 - selecting tools and materials

To disassemble the vacuum cleaner body, you do not need to purchase a special tool. Most likely, a pair of screwdrivers, Phillips and slotted, which can be found in the household of any city dweller or rural resident, will come in handy.

Basically, you will have to use screwdrivers to unscrew the screws that fasten various parts of the body - the engine is enclosed in several plastic or metal covers for reasons of sound insulation

No tools are required to disassemble the filters as this is a regular maintenance procedure. You just have to manually remove the covers or open the plastic boxes.

On some models, to change the HEPA filter, you need to remove the rear grille by unscrewing 2-4 screws, also using a screwdriver.

But if manipulations with the motor, board elements, and wires are to be done, the following tools and materials may be required:

• pliers;
• file;
• awl;
• sandpaper;
• vice;
• construction knife;
• spare connectors and wiring.

Small parts are inexpensive, but a faulty engine requires replacement - an average of 1,650-2,600 rubles.

If the vacuum cleaner is budget and costs no more than 3,500 rubles, then the replacement turns out to be significant from a financial point of view

Instead of an expensive original part, you can look for an alternative mechanism, but you should pay attention to the materials from which it is made.

Stage #3 - disassemble the vacuum cleaner body

It often happens that during the process of disassembling the device there is a problem, that is, the cause of the breakdown is not necessarily a failed engine. The thermal relay connector may have come loose or there may be damage on the board.

As an example, let's take the popular model SC8854 with a power of 2200 W, designed for dry floor cleaning and cleaning home textiles - furniture upholstery, thick curtains, bedspreads

All actions can be performed by an untrained person, since disassembling this model requires attention, accuracy and the ability to use screwdrivers - flat and Phillips.

Step-by-step instruction:

The disassembly process can be stopped at this point. If you are sure that the engine is really broken, then you need to take the damaged part to a service center to buy a sample or order a new one.

But if you think that you can restore the engine yourself, then we offer instructions for subsequent disassembly.

Stage #4 - we repair the engine

Engines are different, so there is no guarantee that you will be able to disassemble the unit and find a breakdown. As a last resort, take the broken mechanism to a repair shop for replacement. But if you have already had repair experience, then you can hope for a positive outcome of the operation.

After repair we carry out testing. To do this, connect the tester terminals to the crimped wire and call. Finally, you can crimp the plug covering the impeller and clean the insides of the engine.

After reassembly, it becomes clear how successful the repair was. In this case, the reason was a broken wire that was in plain sight.

Impeller imbalance or bearing failure also often occur. But there are cases when the technicians never find the fault, then the only way out is to replace the entire part. Sometimes it makes more sense pick up a new vacuum cleanerthan spending money on expensive spare parts.
