Everything you need to know about repairing a Samsung vacuum cleaner

Samsung vacuum cleaners are distinguished by high-quality and uninterrupted operation. However, even the most reliable equipment breaks down over time.

As a rule, the parts that are most actively used in the on mode have to be changed first.

Read the article about how to repair a Samsung vacuum cleaner yourself and where, if necessary, to find a technician.

What parts fail most often?

The Samsung vacuum cleaner consists of many structural elements. Some of them are subject to increased load, so they fail faster. First of all, we are talking about the engine, bearings and filter.

Engine

When the device is turned on, the engine bears the main load. Therefore, it is he who most often fails.

The following signs will indicate a motor malfunction:

• noise and rattling when the device is turned on;
• sparking;
• the smell of burning;
• reduced traction, debris and dust on the floor after cleaning;
• heating the case.

Repairs are carried out as follows:

1. Open the device body by unscrewing the screws.
2. Remove the control board, remove the dust container, and take out the filters.
3. Remove the engine.
4. Disassemble the metal box using pliers.
5. Evaluate the performance of engine components.
6. If the engine burns out completely and cannot be repaired, it is replaced. In other cases, its constituent elements are subject to repair.

After eliminating the malfunction, the motor is installed in its original place and the vacuum cleaner is assembled in the reverse order.

First of all you need to check the wiring. Sometimes it is broken wires that cause the engine to malfunction or not turn on. Details of engine repair - in this article.

Bearings

Bearings are an integral part of the motor. If they fail, then when the vacuum cleaner is operating, a metallic clanging and grinding sound will be heard, and the power of the device will be significantly reduced.

To get to the bearings, you need to disassemble the housing, remove the motor, and open the metal frame. To avoid damaging the shaft during the repair process, proceed as follows:

• install the shaft with the bearing in a vice so that it is on top, clamp the part;
• Place a bolt in the center and tap it with a hammer;
• the bearing is knocked out.

The movements should be light, do not hit one edge of the part. If the seat is deformed, the bearing will not be installed.

The new ring is also threaded onto the shaft using a hammer., in this case it is necessary to monitor its uniform occurrence. To ensure better rotational ability of the bearing, it must be lubricated with lithol. Details - in this article.

Filter

The filter in a Samsung vacuum cleaner becomes clogged with dust over time. If too much of it accumulates, cravings decrease. As a result, the device fails to cope with its main responsibility.

To clean it from contaminants, you need to proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from electricity.
2. Pull out the container, open it and shake out the dust.
3. Wash the dust container with a soft sponge. You can use a soap solution.
4. Dry the container and place it in its original place.

The instructions are given for cyclone vacuum cleaners. The aqua filter is cleaned in the same way, but it is recommended to do this after each cleaning. It is more convenient to clean the HEPA fine filter with a soft brush.

Foam filters are washed in soapy water and then dried. The main thing is not to squeeze them to remove excess moisture.

The carbon filter, which is installed in premium models, cannot be cleaned. It can only be replaced. For details on cleaning filters, see this article.

Power regulator

The regulator is represented by a small electronic module with capacitors and thyristors. It controls the speed of rotation of the shaft installed inside the engine. If the module breaks down, the device either does not start working or collects dust at maximum speed. When moving the slider, the suction strength does not change.

Power button and cable

If the “Start” button fails, then the Samsung vacuum cleaner simply cannot be turned on. A malfunction may be indicated by the key not locking when pressed.. Sometimes the device turns on, but after working for a few seconds, the motor stalls.

The cause may be debris trapped in the button seat. It’s easy to check: just disassemble the vacuum cleaner body, unscrew the button and remove any detected dirt. If the part really fails, it will have to be replaced.

If the problem boils down to a cable fault, the vacuum cleaner will not respond when turned on. Sometimes the broken area is visible to the naked eye. If there are no obvious defects, the cable is checked with a multimeter.

Corrugated hose rupture

The corrugated tube connecting the pipe and the vacuum cleaner is an important element, without which full operation of the device is impossible. When it breaks, the thrust decreases and the collected debris flies out.

Reasons for the breakup:

• natural wear and tear;
• violation of operation, for example, storage in a twisted form;
• rupture with a sharp object.

If the corrugation is torn close to the attachment point, then the defect can be cut off and its pipe can be installed. For more reliable fixation, you can use glue.

If there is a breakthrough in the central part, the joint is glued together, after which a rubber coupling is pulled over it, for example, from a bicycle camera. If numerous defects are detected, it is recommended to replace the hose.

Possible faults

The most common malfunctions are directly related to the performance of the vacuum cleaner. Most often, users notice a deterioration in traction and the inability to turn on the device.

Poor suction

If the vacuum cleaner does not collect dust well, there may be several reasons:

1. The dust bag is full. On some models, there is an indicator on the case that indicates that it is time to empty it. If it is not there, you need to check the filling of the bag yourself.
2. There is a blockage in the hose, tube or brush. They need to be inspected and cleaned.If the blockage is complex, the brush will have to be disassembled.
3. The filter is clogged. It needs to be inspected and, if necessary, replaced or cleaned.
4. Engine problems. Traction decreases if the basic elements of the motor fail: bearings, brushes, etc.

Doesn't turn on

Causesreasons for which the Samsung vacuum cleaner will not turn on:

1. No electricity. It’s not difficult to check - just press any switch.
2. The socket has failed. You should try connecting the device to a different power source. Preferably in another room.
3. The power button is broken or stuck. It needs to be cleaned or replaced.
4. The motor burned out. If sparking, a burning smell and overheating of the housing are noticed, then the cause is engine failure. It needs to be disassembled and diagnosed.
5. The power cord is broken.
