Activator type machines
Oka washing machines of the activator type are distinguished by the fact that a disk with blades is built inside the flat bottom.
It's called an activator. It is driven by a motor. An activator washing machine washes clothes approximately 70%. The Oka-16 model is an activator type machine. This is a free-standing vertical loading machine. The maximum amount of laundry that can be loaded into it at a time is 2 kg.
The activator washing machine is controlled mechanically. The knob installed on the panel is turned and the washing time is set. The timer is set to 4 minutes. When the washing time is finished, the machine turns off. If you need to turn off the machine earlier, this can be done. The tank is made of stainless steel.
The blades, under the influence of the engine, begin to rotate, the water, and with it the laundry, too. As a result, the dirt is washed off mechanically. Then the water with the powder flows back into the tank through the hose.
When you need to drain the water, remove the hose from the holder and install it in the drain.
The machine does not have modern functions, there is no drying and no leakage protection. The car is white. Weight - 16 kg.
The Oka-18 model can wash 3 kg of laundry at a time. Machine weight 16 kg. The tank is made of stainless steel.
The Oka-10 model is similar in principle to the previous one. It turns on mechanically using a timer. A hose holder is installed near the lid. Tank volume 32 liters. Weight - 13 kg. The machine can wash 2 kg of laundry.
The Oka-9M washing machine has a blue body. The height of the device is 98 cm, width - 80 cm. Weight - 22 kg.
The Oka-19 model is installed separately. Laundry is loaded from the top. It is placed in a 3 kg stainless steel tank. There is no drying, but there is a manual squeezing device. The body of the machine is made of steel and covered with durable enamel.
Peculiarities
In 1956, the Nizhny Novgorod plant named after. Sverdlov began production of the legendary model. At the same time, the first copies appeared on the shelves. There was a line behind them. And soon the Oka brand proved to everyone that it has every right to exist. Soviet housewives really liked the unpretentious design and ease of operation. Previously, the plant named after. Sverdlov produced ammunition during the war, and then switched to producing civilian products. Since then, the company has been engaged in this area and has had good success.
Early Oka washing machines in the USSR were distinguished by their reliable design and impeccable performance. Even after they stopped producing the old models, they continued to work for a long time, since many housewives did not want to get rid of them.
The very first washing machines were not quiet. They were bulky and did not have a very attractive design. However, many were happy with this execution, especially those women who had previously washed by hand. Such a miracle of technology came to their aid. However, since the release of the first car, the design has remained virtually unchanged. Oka models continue to be produced in the form of a cylinder - this appearance is not fashionable and does not save living space.
The tank and the unit body itself form one whole. They are made of stainless steel or aluminum. The manufacturer continues to produce and offer for sale reliable models in blue and white-blue colors.
Today, Oka washing machines have the following varieties:
- centrifuges;
- semi-automatic;
- small cars
- activator type machines.
The latter do not have the usual drum. Instead, the manufacturer installs an activator in the lower part of the housing. It is connected to an electric motor. When the start occurs, the shaft begins to rotate and thereby twists the laundry. It is the activator type models that are considered excellent in terms of design due to the absence of a drum. Such devices break down less, especially since domestic units are still distinguished by their low price and excellent data. They can withstand temperature changes. Therefore, this type of machine is purchased for use in dachas.
Do-it-yourself washing machine repair: the most common breakdowns
Although the designs of the machines are very similar, there are differences in them. However, there is a certain set of faults that are common to all washing machines.
Wash does not turn on
Repairing a washing machine with your own hands begins with the fact that you need to determine at what stage the program stopped. Sometimes the washing machine fails to start. There are several possible reasons:
- The door is not closed. Until the relay operates, the wash will not start. Push the door firmly against the body. If this does not help, there may be a foreign object in the lock or the latch may be faulty.
- No power or voltage too low.
- Check the integrity of the plug, socket, and cord.
The cord may fray
- The contacts on the terminal block where the power cord is connected may be oxidized. In this case, remove the cover of the washing machine, find the block and inspect the contacts, clean them if necessary.
- The time relay is faulty. Diagnosing its failure is not easy. You just need to switch programs several times. If at some point the washing starts, then the time relay is really faulty.
- Check the water supply hose. It may be pinched.
- The water supply filter is clogged. Then we act like this: shut off the water supply to the machine;
- remove the supply hose from the pipe;
- Using pliers, remove the filter from the machine and rinse it under running water;
- install it in place, put on the hose.
If all these points are checked, there are no faults, but the washing machine still does not turn on, the problem may be in the control board. This can only be determined by installing the working board.
Water does not fill
If the machine does not fill with water, first check if there is water in the water supply. It is also worth checking its pressure (open the tap and evaluate the pressure). If it is sufficient, we move on:
Popular models
Note that there are models that are bought and sold very well. Let us list the main ones.
- For knitwear and cotton, wool, and synthetic fabrics, the Oka-8 . It has an aluminum tank, which allows the machine to operate for many years without corrosion.
- "Oka-7" is distinguished by the presence of rollers that allow it to be moved from place to place. Available in a metal case. A special bracket helps with spinning clothes. There is such a mechanism as different rotation of the blade circle. This ensures high-quality washing. In addition, the blade circle can rotate in one direction or the other. There is also a “Gentle Mode” which rotates the paddle disc clockwise. The machine washes very thick fabrics very well. Mainly suitable for washing things that do not require special treatment.
- The electric model "Oka-9" washes approximately 2 kg of laundry at one time. It has a white body, mechanical control, vertical loading of laundry, and a timer. Leak protection and drying are not provided in this model. The dimensions are as follows: 48x48x65 cm. Tank volume is 30 liters.
- Oka-18 washing machine is made of stainless steel . The color of this model is white and the weight is 16 kg. Energy consumption class is A, and washing class is C. Loading type is vertical. The drum volume is 34 liters. The noise level during washing is 55 dB. This model weighs 16 kg.
- The Oka-10 model is very comfortable to use. It can be “shoved” even into the narrowest space. It is economical. Its characteristics: there is a program for removing difficult stains (you just need to specify the option in the menu, and the program will do everything itself), overfill protection, load control. If a failure occurs, the unit will stop and no breakdown will occur. Drying available. The weight of the machine is 13 kg, the tank volume is 32 liters.
- The Oka-50 and Oka-60 units do not have high power since they are not designed for heavy loads. These models can wash from 2 to 3 kg of laundry. Such models do not have large dimensions and are mainly used for washing children's clothes.
Engine
Another reason when a washing machine is electrocuted may be the motor. It is a device consisting of steel, aluminum and copper. The windings are insulated with varnish and placed in special insulating trays made of special cardboard or fiberglass.
The motor heats up during operation. In this case, the temperature can reach critical values and lead to melting of the varnish. As the insulation between turns deteriorates, the resistance changes downward, which leads to more current consumption and the release of additional heat. As a result, a breakdown often occurs on the motor housing, and then on the washing machine housing.
Checking the washing machine motor
Repair is carried out as follows:
- It is necessary to get to the inside of the washing machine, for which the back wall of the case is removed.
- The motor is located under the drum casing, at the bottom. The connector with contacts is on the side, on the left. It is necessary to remove it and at the same time clean it from possible contamination.
- Next, you need to check the motor using a multimeter. The technology consists of measuring the resistance of both windings and the housing. Accordingly, the readings of the device when testing the housing and between different windings should tend to infinity at the highest limit.
- If there is resistance, then it is necessary to remove the motor and wash and clean it, if necessary. If the resistance is not infinite, then the motor requires repair.
