Semi Automatic Washing Machine Parts

The following are the components of the semi-automatic washing machine and its functions.
1. Motor
Serves to drive washers and dryers pulsators.

Washing machines often do not work because of cable break-up to the motorbike, usually cables that break because they are bitten by mice or it can be due to excessive heat due to large currents so the cable is burned. Excessive heat also causes the coil to break / coil in the motor so that the motor must be replaced with a new coil.

So that the washing machine motor is durable then it's good, wash clothes half of its capacity. Cleanses dirt that may be carried by mice in the body of the washing machine, and closes the holes in the body of the washing machine so that it cannot be entered by mice.

2. Gear Box:
The part that moves the pulsator, this part is often worn out because of the excessive load. This gear box material is made of plastic, so that excessive heat can damage the gear. The gear box is connected to the motor through the fan strap. The end of the axle is connected to the pulsator.

3. Fan strap:
Connect the washing motor to the pulsator, the drying motor with the dryer tube.

The fan strap will usually break if the installation is not flashlight, or right .. Even if the installation is not right it will burden the motor to move the pulsator.

The fan strap that doesn't fit the length will cause the washing power to decrease. If it is extended, the fan strap is loose and the water rotation is weak, if it is short, the fan strap is very tight and causes the motor to rotate too heavily, become hot and cause gearbox wear.

4. Pulsator

Is a blade that can move back and forth, serves to create a whirlpool that will wash and rinse clothes. The pulsator will quickly break down if it always gets an excessive load. another. Especially if in the washing machine tube there are objects such as pins, bolts, coins, keys or other hard and sharp objects.
