A broken home vacuum cleaner can dramatically change your plans, ruin your mood and even reduce your family budget. However, you should not immediately chop off your shoulder and go in search of a more reliable replacement. You can try to repair the unit at home. Such a solution to the problem will save a considerable amount, agree?

We will figure out how to disassemble a Samsung vacuum cleaner in order to independently return it to working capacity. The design of many cleaning units is similar, so the proposed instructions can be used to repair models of other manufacturers. The main thing is to act carefully and without haste.

Minor malfunctions and their elimination

If the vacuum cleaner begins to “bewilderment” - it is wrong to perform its functions, make noise loudly, vibrate - it needs help.

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

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

Some vacuum cleaners are easy to disassemble, others require certain knowledge. In order not to be mistaken, we recommend that you look more often at the instructions, which are equipped with diagrams and tips.

Often repair vacuum cleaner succeed 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 drops sharply

If you notice that the dust is poorly absorbed, and the small debris remains intact on the floor, you will have to find out the cause by 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 through the pipe and hose.

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

Often the cause of weak traction are hair wound on the brush or pieces of large debris that are stuck in a curved bend of the nozzle. If the cause cannot be eliminated without disassembling, you will have to unscrew the fasteners and separate the external elements

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

Problem # 2 - vacuum cleaner filters clogged

Unusual sound, weak draft, work stoppage are the consequences of clogged filters. For devices with a fill indicator, this can also be determined by the red light that comes on. In modern devices, everything is provided so that the filters are delivered easily and quickly.

It is usually required to clean two basic elements - a plastic cyclone filter (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, the disassembly of the Samsung vacuum cleaner for cleaning filters is elementary and is carried out quickly. Items 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

A standard check with a non-working device is to include it in the network. Make sure that the plug of the power cord is plugged into the outlet and the power adjustment button is set to the desired division.

Fill indicator light
Typically, Samsung devices are equipped with LED indicators. When working properly, they light up in green, when filling the dust box, in red

If the indication does not work, and the vacuum cleaner does not make noise, most likely you will have to repair or replace the engine. But there may be problems with the board, so disassembling the case is necessary in any case.

Complete disassembly step by step instructions

Partial disassembly is performed when replacing or cleaning filters, but to get the engine, it is necessary to disassemble the device completely. We offer detailed photo instructions for disassembling, which will help you deal with the repair of a Samsung vacuum cleaner yourself.

Stage # 1 - carry out a fault diagnosis

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

An experienced user does not have to look at the indicator of filling the bag or tank, he even determines by the sound the time of cleaning the dust bag or filters. Consequently, he will also determine the fact of a malfunction by the unusual behavior of the assistant.

If the replenished vacuum cleaner starts to buzz or hiss, the mechanism with a broken engine or circuit board makes intermittent sounds, starts to “spit” with dust, smell like burnt wires, or simply does not respond to plugging in.

You should be wary if, after emptying the tank or washing the filters, the device makes noise, but does not fulfill the main function - it does not absorb dust.Also, not everything is in order if there is traction, but it is very weak and does not change 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 and special skills. As instructions, you can use videos or photo briefings of craftsmen, carefully shot by them and posted on the Internet.

Stage # 2 - we select 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 villager, will come in handy.

Set of screwdrivers for disassembly
Basically, screwdrivers will have to unscrew the screws that fasten the various parts of the case - the engine is enclosed in several plastic or metal covers for soundproofing reasons

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

On some models, to change the HEPA filter, the rear grill should be removed by unscrewing 2-4 screws with a screwdriver as well.

But if manipulations with the engine, board elements, wires are coming, the following tools and materials may be required:

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

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

New engine for a vacuum cleaner
If the vacuum cleaner is budgetary and costs no more than 3500 rubles, the replacement is tangible 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 there is a malfunction in the process of disassembling the device, that is, not necessarily the cause of the malfunction is a failed engine. The thermal relay connector may have moved or damage to the circuit board has occurred.

Model Samsung SC8854
As a sample we take the popular model SC8854 with a power of 2200 W, designed for dry floor cleaning and cleaning of home textiles - furniture upholstery, blackout 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 cross.

Step-by-step instruction:

On this, the disassembly process can be stopped. If you are sure that the engine is really broken, then the damaged part must be taken to a service center in order to buy or order a new one according to the model.

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

Stage # 4 - perform engine repair

The engines are different, so there is no guarantee that you will be able to disassemble the unit and find a breakdown. In a pinch, take the broken mechanism to a repair shop for replacement. But if the repair experience was already there, then we can hope for a positive outcome of the operation.

After the repair, we conduct testing. To do this, connect the terminals of the tester to the crimped wire and dial. Finally, you can crimp the plug that covers the impeller and clean the inside of the engine.

After reassembling, it becomes clear how well the repair went. In this case, the cause was a broken wire, which was in sight.

Impeller unbalancing or bearing failure often also occur. But there are times when the master does not find a breakdown, then the only way out is to replace the entire part. Sometimes more appropriate pick up a new vacuum cleanerthan to spend money on an expensive spare part.

Photo and video instructions come to the rescue when you urgently need to repair the vacuum cleaner, but there is no service center nearby or there are simply not enough funds. Dismantling the Samsung vacuum cleaner, as you have already seen, is not at all difficult to produce. If you have the desire and time, you can perform some procedures yourself, without the involvement of specialists.

    Yes, the brush must be periodically disassembled and cleaned, especially on the Samsung it is quite easy to disassemble. It often happens that people simply do not know about the presence of the HEPA filter and learn about it only when they begin to feel an unpleasant odor when the vacuum cleaner is working and the traction decreases. According to the instructions, it must be changed once every six months or a year, but in reality they can be used much longer, just washing periodically.
