The correct operation of the washing machine does not depend ononly from parts, assembly and installation, but also from the correct transportation. The most vulnerable part in transportation is a drum. It is mounted on powerful spring shock absorbers, so it moves almost freely inside the washing machine. In road pumping, this part can easily damage the inside of the apparatus. To prevent such unpleasant situations, transport bolts are provided in the washing machine.
Every consumer who has ever bought such atechnique, met with similar fastening elements. The main thing - do not forget to remove them before using, otherwise it can lead to the fact that an absolutely new device will simply fail. Why do we need transport bolts in the washing machine, how to remove them, and how to transport such equipment correctly in this article.
In fact, the transport bolts inwashing machine is simply necessary for the transportation of equipment, because they fix the tank. As a rule, they are installed at the factory to minimize the risk of damage to the product during transportation. In addition, since the bolts fix the tank, when the slope changes, the internal parts do not have contact, so the bearings and shock absorbers also remain intact.
These are important components of the washing machine, which reduce the amount of vibration during spinning and washing.
Every buyer of such equipment should know,that until these storage elements are not removed, it is highly discouraged to use the machine. This can lead to malfunctioning of the entire device, ultimately the washing machine will simply fail. In addition, in the event that the transportation bolts are the cause of the breakdown, no service center recognizes the fault of the manufacturer and simply refuses to replace or repair the device for free.
As a rule, find the transportation bolts on thewashing machine is not difficult, because in most cases, manufacturers have them on the back. The number of such bolts is not more than four. However, the machines of some companies can have bolts, for example, on the top wall in the form of small iron pins. To get rid of the transport bolts and start using the machine, they just need to be unscrewed. For this purpose, a universal wrench is quite suitable.
In the case when there was no nut at handkey, you can try to work with pliers. If instead of bolts there are metal pins, then it is best to work with pliers. To remove the transport bolts in the washing machine or pins, you only need to turn them a quarter turn. Further, they can simply be removed from the body of the device.
Virtually every kit requiressmall round plugs. They need to be inserted in place of the bolts to close the holes formed. And although this is more necessary for a visual effect, it is likely that they somehow help to reduce noise in vibrations.
Most manufacturers even after extractiontransport bolts still does not recommend them to be thrown away. The fact is that no one knows what will happen in the future. Suddenly, you will have to change your residence and move to a new apartment. In this case, the transport bolts can be returned back, fixing the drum, thereby reducing the risk of damage when moving. As for decorative caps, they can be removed with a knife or even a nail scissors. The bolts themselves are screwed without auxiliary items, so the procedure will take a small amount of time. In this case, if everything is done correctly, you can extend the life of the washing machine and not worry about its condition during transportation.
Manufacturers have provided many protectivefunctions of the device, including when the washing machine is transported, and the transport bolts carry out the main one. They ensure the safety of the spring suspension system. Before the first start-up, they must be unscrewed and, if necessary, transported to the washing machine.
