Step-by-step instructions on how to disassemble the motor of a Samsung vacuum cleaner at home and make repairs

An indispensable cleaning assistant - a powerful and functional Samsung vacuum cleaner - at some point begins to suck in debris worse, or even stops working altogether.

What to do in such a situation? After checking the cleanliness of the dust collector, hose and filters, we begin testing (and, if necessary, repairing) the motor of the household appliance.

To do this, the engine is disassembled, each component is inspected and checked, repairs are carried out or faulty elements are replaced.

Let's look at how to properly disassemble the engine of a Samsung vacuum cleaner in more detail.

In what cases is disassembly required?

The first bell is that the vacuum cleaner motor requires disassembly and repair - heating of the housing with a simultaneous drop in suction power. This situation often occurs when the bearing or carbon brushes are worn.

The second signal is a very strong, uncharacteristic hum of the vacuum cleaner (usually caused by severe wear of the bearing, the replacement of which requires disassembling the electric motor).

How to check the functionality of a node?

It is not difficult to check the motor removed from the vacuum cleaner body. To start connect the two-core cable to the terminals on the motor housing.

The cable is inserted into the socket. Sparks from a running motor are a sign that it is time to change the graphite brushes. If the engine does not start, then the cause of the malfunction must be sought in a broken winding.

To diagnose the rotor you will need a tester.

Algorithm of actions:

1. We set the multimeter to the “Resistance” mode, measure the readings between the armature slats (we apply the probes to two adjacent plates).

   The readings on each pair must match. If the resistance readings exceed the norm (up to 40 m) several times, a break has occurred.

2. We apply the probes to the armature body and lamellas. The infinity indicator means everything is in order, otherwise the engine requires immediate replacement.

It is strictly prohibited to connect a device with breakdowns to the engine housing to the electrical network. Life threatening!

DIY parsing process

The process of disassembling the motor of a Samsung vacuum cleaner takes place in several stages.

Preparatory work

In order for engine disassembly to proceed as quickly as possible, you need to prepare a certain set of tools:

• screwdrivers (phillips and flat);
• pliers;
• socket wrench;
• soft brush;
• hammer;
• bench vice.

The next step in preparation for disassembly is to remove the motor from the vacuum cleaner body.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Open the lid, take out the garbage bag and filter.
2. Unscrew the fasteners and press out the locking latches. It is important to find all the fasteners (four screws are located under the waste container, the fifth is at the place where the hose is connected to the vacuum cleaner body).
3. Separate the cover from the bottom of the household appliance.
4. Carefully remove the terminals and connectors of the electric motor wires.
5. Remove the motor from the vacuum cleaner body.

We disassemble the motor of a Samsung household appliance

Strictly following the sequence of actions, disassemble the motor of the Samsung vacuum cleaner it won't be difficult:

1. Having previously marked, remove the wires from the engine.
2. We remove the brushes. To do this, carefully unscrew the fastening screw, then manually remove and inspect the brushes.

   Traces of carbon deposits and sparking are a reason to replace the brushes, as well as a signal that a mandatory check of the condition of the rotor and stator windings is required.

3. Unscrew the rotor mounting nut. To do this, special wooden blocks are installed in the hatches from the removed brushes (for maximum tight fit, one side is ground with a round file), the rotor is fixed in a vice and, using a socket wrench, the nut is carefully unscrewed.
4. Remove the cover from the engine. To do this, unscrew the four fasteners, after which the upper part of the engine housing is carefully removed.
5. Remove the air separator.
6. We unscrew the four bolts holding the armature bearing fastening.
7. We remove the rotor. To do this, using a metal extension, gently tap on the back side of the shaft.

Repair

Reasons for failure of the Samsung vacuum cleaner motor I can be:

1. Worn brushes. It’s not difficult to replace, the main thing is to choose elements that are identical in size.
2. Faulty bearing (axle play, scattered race - a signal that the bearing requires replacement). Using a special puller, worn elements are carefully removed from the armature shaft. If the inner race is stuck to the shaft, it can be loosened by sharpening one side (it is important to ensure that the stone does not damage the rotor shaft).
3. Contamination of the internal surface of the engine. Having carefully examined the rotor and other elements of the motor, you can notice traces of graphite dust. To begin with, they are carefully brushed off with a soft brush, after which the surfaces are wiped with cotton wool moistened with alcohol.

In what cases is it necessary to purchase a new element to replace it?

You can deal with worn brushes, bearings, fallen mounting screws or a dirty inner surface of the engine with your own hands.

It will not be possible to restore the functionality of a motor whose winding has been broken at home (by carefully examining the armature, you will notice damaged wires and broken contacts - signs of a broken winding).

Rewinding of the rotor winding is carried out only by service center technicians., but, as practice shows, it is more profitable (both in terms of money and time) to replace a faulty engine completely than to repair it.

Depending on the model of Samsung vacuum cleaner, purchasing a new motor will cost from 1,700 to 2,600 rubles. The manager of an online store selling spare parts and components will help you choose the right engine option (alternatively, you can ask a Samsung service center specialist for help).

The necessary information about the model of the vacuum cleaner can be found in the passport or plate attached to the body of the household appliance. If possible, the model and serial number of the motor can be checked on a plate attached to the housing of the removed faulty electric motor.

Call the master

When you can’t disassemble the motor of a Samsung vacuum cleaner yourself, a professional will come to the rescue. Take the household appliance to a service center or call a technician to your home, everyone decides for themselves.

Contacts of the required service are not difficult to find on the Internet. Additionally, they check reviews about the selected specialist or service.

The cost of disassembling and repairing the engine of a Samsung vacuum cleaner start from 1000 rubles. (the master announces a more accurate amount only after the diagnosis has been carried out). The urgency of order fulfillment and the cost of parts to be replaced increase the amount to be paid for the specialist’s services.

Adviсe

Before disconnecting the wiring of the Samsung vacuum cleaner motor, you need to photograph it.

Later, when reconnecting the repaired (or new) motor, Referring to the diagram in the photo will help avoid short circuits.

When unscrewing the rotor mounting nut, do not lock the motor armature with a sharp metal object (for example, a screwdriver). Sudden movement and the winding is damaged, which entails a complete replacement of the vacuum cleaner motor.

Conclusion

Disassembling a vacuum cleaner engine is a painstaking process that requires care and precision. By strictly following the prescribed algorithm for disassembling and repairing the motor, you can count on a positive result - complete restoration of the functionality of the household appliance. Otherwise, you will have to contact the service center specialists for help.
