How to replace a bearing in a Vyatka Katyusha washing machine

Where can I get new bearings and seals?

The main difficulty when repairing old washing machines is finding replacement components. Thus, the first copies of the Vyatka-automatic were released back in 1981. Despite such a long period of time, the units were well preserved. They function properly to this day.

Since Vyatka-automatic cars stopped being assembled in 2005, it is difficult to purchase spare parts suitable for the model today.

We'll have to look for analogues from more modern washing machines. To repair a bearing assembly, you need to find and purchase:

• internal bearing. “Ring” dimensions 30x62x16 mm;
• external bearing, 25x50x15 mm;
• sealing rubber (oil seal), 38x62x10 mm.

  

There will be no problems purchasing bearings. “Rings” of these sizes can be found in specialized stores or ordered online. They are quite common, as they are suitable for modern automatic machines Indesit, Ariston and others.

The situation will be more complicated with the oil seal. On the Russian market it is almost impossible to find a seal exactly the same size as the one on Vyatka-automatic. You can try your luck in workshops that dismantle and repair equipment; suddenly, quite by accident, they sell an old washing machine for spare parts.

But there is a way out - in the AliExpress.ru online store you can find an oil seal measuring 38x62x10 mm. The seal will cost about 300-500 rubles, depending on the supplier. The only negative is long delivery. We'll have to wait to repair the Vyatka-automatic machine, which has served faithfully for many years.

How to choose a new bearing

The main point in preparing to replace the old bearing in a washing machine is purchasing new parts. A new oil seal and 2 bearings will be required, which must be identical to their predecessors. There are two ways to select a suitable bearing:

1. Write down the model and brand of the washing machine, go to a spare parts store and ask for a part for your machine.
2. Disassemble the washing machine, remove the bearings and oil seal, go with them to the spare parts store and select exactly the same parts.

Of course, it's best to use both options to ensure your purchase is as accurate as possible. Preference is always given to original parts! Typically, the bearing begins to “whistle” after 5-6 years of operation, when the warranty period comes to an end. Only the choice of high-quality “original” parts will allow the repair to last for several years.

How many bearings are there in a washing machine?

A bearing failure is equivalent to a major overhaul of a washing machine. This is not an exaggeration, because the bearing assembly connects the pulley and the drum equipment. Usually this part is attached to the crosspiece at the rear of the tank, or less often - to the tank itself. If the bearing has not yet been removed from the washing machine drum, the following fact may surprise you: there are two of them, internal and external. A more powerful one is placed near the drum; all the main load falls on it.

How to disassemble the machine?

So, it was decided to repair the washing machine with our own hands. The work is simplified by the fact that to replace bearings on a Vyatka machine you do not need to remove the front wall of the housing. It will be enough to remove the top panel and the rear technical hatch.

Before disassembling the automatic machine, be sure to turn off the power and turn off the water supply tap.

You can disassemble the housing using a screwdriver. To begin, unscrew a pair of bolts securing the top panel. After removing the fasteners, you can slightly move the “cover” back - after that it can be easily removed. The rear part is removed in the same way - after unscrewing the screws located around the perimeter of the service hatch. The further algorithm of actions will be as follows:

• remove the powder receptacle;
• loosen the clamps on the dispenser pipes, disconnect the hoses and remove the “hopper”;
• unscrew the bolts holding the cast iron counterweights, remove the weights from the body;

  

• remove the drive belt from the pulley;
• Unscrew the screws holding the motor;
• disconnect the wiring from the engine and remove the element from the housing;
• disconnect the wires from the heating element and drain pump;
• disconnect the drain pipe from the tank;
• remove the lower counterweights;
• pull out the outer clamp securing the hatch cuff;
• tuck the rubber seal inside the drum;
• Unscrew the dampers (shock absorbers that hold the tank in the body). It’s more convenient to do this by going behind the machine;
• disconnect the water level sensor tube;
• remove the upper springs securing the tank;
• remove the tank-drum assembly from the housing.

  

The unit must be placed on a hard, level surface. Now all that remains is to disassemble the tank, remove the broken bearings and install new components. Let's figure out how to do it yourself.

How to replace

Before starting work on replacing the bearing, you need to disconnect the machine from electricity and water communications, and remove any things from the surface. It is not always possible to move the washing machine to a freer place, so you need to prepare several containers for separate storage of parts during repairs. Every step needs to be written down and photographed, otherwise you won’t be able to put the washer back together!

Top cover

The top cover is secured with self-tapping screws on the far wall - they need to be unscrewed. After this, slide the cover back and remove it - you can put it aside until the repair is completed. After this, you need to remove the dispenser (powder compartment) by pressing the latch. The next step is the control panel; it is removed by unscrewing the screws.

Back and front cover

The clamp reliably fixes the cuff - an elastic band placed on the rim of the tank and the front panel. To remove the cuff clamp, you will need either pliers or a slotted screwdriver, depending on the model. They need to carefully pry the spring and pull it out. After removing the outer clamp, you need to separate the cuff from the front of the machine body and tuck it inside.

Now it’s the turn of the lock: unscrew the two screws, insert your hand between the cuff and the wall and disconnect the lock. Remove the remaining fasteners and the front panel itself, and with it the back cover.

After removing the front cover, a view of the control element will open, which cannot be unscrewed as easily. You need to very carefully remove the chips with wires from the sockets, having previously photographed and marked the sockets with a marker. If you leave the wiring as is, there is a high risk of touching it during work.

Elements at the top of the tank

Under the top panel are the dispenser and control panel, which were removed earlier. Now, to remove the top panel itself, you need to unscrew the screws and take it out. The pipe is removed together with the clamp; to do this, you need to prepare a rag: water could remain in the pipe. Then you need to disconnect all the wires connected to the heating element. It is convenient if the back cover has already been removed - it is more convenient to de-energize the heating element from its side. The wires are secured using ties and wire; they must be disconnected at the junction with the tank. The motor will be removed from outside the washer, so the wires need to be disconnected from it as well.

We disassemble the tank, change the bearings

To change the bearings, you will need a screwdriver or screwdriver, a small hammer and a drift (it can be replaced with a regular metal rod). The tank of Vyatka-automatic machines is made of stainless steel and is collapsible. You just need to unscrew the bolts around the circumference of the container and gain access to the drum. To remove the drum from the tank, you will have to unscrew the cross and carefully knock out the shaft. Let's look at the algorithm for replacing bearings and oil seals step by step:

• use a thin screwdriver to pry up the oil seal and remove the rubber seal;
• install the drift in the center of the outer bearing;
• tap the “ring” by moving the punch in a circle and hitting it with a hammer;
• knock out the inner bearing in the same way.

This is how old bearings are dismantled. Before installing new components, you need to clean the seat from dirt and metal shavings. It is also necessary to treat the recess, the “rings” themselves and the oil seal with a special lubricant - it will protect the unit from moisture and temperature changes.

The shaft should also be cleaned. This can be done first with zero-grit sandpaper and then with GOI paste. To install the bearings, you should place them one by one in the appropriate recesses and carefully press them in with a drift and hammer. It is allowed to knock only on the inner ring of the ring, otherwise the part may be damaged.

Next, you need to put the cross in place, connect the halves of the tank and begin assembling the Vyatka-automatic. It is done in reverse order. The main tank is secured in the housing with dampers and springs, a pressure switch hose and a drain pipe are connected to it, and lower counterweights are installed. The cuff, heating element, engine, drive belt and other elements are fixed. Having completed the assembly, all that remains is to connect the “home assistant” to the utilities and run a test wash. If the machine does not hum while rotating the drum normally, it means the replacement was completed correctly.

Consumer Reviews

Bought for a summer house. She justified herself. It washes not only outer clothing for working in the garden, but also everything else that needs to be washed. At the same time, despite the simplicity of the design, it washes well. There is almost no load on the weak dacha electrical network. It requires almost no attention to itself. We are glad.

Mini Vyatka SM 2Maxim

This car (or rather the money to buy it) was given to us as a wedding gift. The car was purchased in August 2002. During operation, no serious problems were identified. The screw securing the drum pulley to its axis was unscrewed twice. As a result, the drum stopped spinning. I fixed the problem myself using a wrench by removing the back wall. The first time, apparently, it didn’t last, because a few months later it came loose again. I tightened it a second time with all my heart, and it won’t come off anymore. The main drawback, in my opinion, is the frankly lousy preparation of the metal surface of the body for painting. The enamel began to peel off after about three years. I had to tint it with pre-treatment with a rust converter. Now it's gone somewhere else. Overall, the unit is simple and reliable. It works and washes very well. I don’t know how long it will work, but we will only replace it if there is a critical breakdown.

Vyatka Katyusha 522 PEvgeniy

The car was purchased in 2001 (in February, I think). During all this time there was only one problem, which can hardly be called a breakdown - last year the dirty water drain became clogged. I had to take it apart and clean it by hand. All this took about an hour and a half (including the time spent studying the drainage device itself). After that the car worked like new again! Now it’s the end of May 2022 and everything is still great! If they were still selling it in stores, I would definitely recommend it.

Malfunctions of the washing machine Vyatka Katyusha 722 water does not drain, solutions

Household appliances for washing clothes and bed linen greatly facilitate the task of housewives, but are not always available due to the high cost or overly complex device. Budget Vyatka Katyusha washing machines made in Russia are presented in three models - 522Р, 722Р and 1022Р. Their digital designation is derived from the maximum number of revolutions and 22 available functions. Automatic washing machine “Vyatka-Katyusha”

Any of the above Vyatka Katyusha models comes with detailed operating instructions. It is written in an accessible form and is accompanied by a number of visual diagrams. In order for the equipment to function correctly, it must be freed from its industrial packaging and fixing bolts.

The Vyatka Katyusha automatic washing machine is picky about its location. It must meet the following characteristics:

The manufacturer recommends placing the washing machine on a bare floor or an anti-vibration mat. The use of pile carpets is strictly prohibited.

Available Vyatka Katyusha automatic options depend on the model. All devices have the same number of functions - 22. However, their spin speeds are different. Those who are satisfied with almost damp laundry can purchase model 522P.

If you want to take semi-dry clothes out of the washing machine, you should opt for 1022P.

The models have several other significant differences:

• Washing machines Vyatka Katyusha 522Р and 722Р have an enameled tank, while in 1022Р it is made of stainless steel.
• Leakage protection is provided only on the latest version with the maximum number of revolutions for this series.

Otherwise, the instructions for the Vyatka washing machine indicate the following characteristics, which are the same for all three models:

• The maximum drum load does not exceed 3 kg.
• The door is located vertically at the front.
• Overall dimensions 60x42x85 cm.
• The body color is white, as shown in the photo.
• Economy wash mode available.
• It is possible to select the required water temperature.

Despite some design imperfections, the equipment performs well in use, being a worthy representative of the budget category of household goods.

The warranty period stated by the manufacturer in the instructions is 10 years. In this case, the buyer has the right to free service in case of malfunction for the first 12 months from the date of purchase.

The most common reasons why Vyatka Katyusha 522R, 722R, 1022R washing machines require repair are:

• there is a distinct burning smell;
• the device receives an electric shock or begins to spark at the point of connection with the outlet;
• the equipment does not turn on, the indicators do not light up;
• the automatic machine is too loud, an uncharacteristic knock is heard;
• The wash has started, but the appliance does not draw water;
• after the end of the session it is impossible to open the hatch;
• the laundry remains damp, despite the spin mode running;
• there are cases of water leaking onto the floor;
• the hatch cuff was torn;
• The machine draws water, but does not heat it.

We invite you to read: How to calculate transport tax in 2021 and 2022 Vyatka-Katyusha

In case of such malfunctions, you should seek help from a specialist. If the equipment is less than one year old, the manufacturer must carry out diagnostics and repairs. To do this, you need to contact the store where the purchase was made, providing a warranty card and a receipt. After 12 months, all work will be paid for by the owner of the washing machine.

If you follow the instructions and carefully consider the troubleshooting diagrams for minor problems that are given in it, the equipment will last quite a long time.

Please note that using detergents that do not have the “machine wash” symbol will shorten the service life.

The most common reasons for calling for repairs, as statistics show, are not manufacturing defects, but blockages or improper operation.

Vyatka Katyusha 522R

Washing machines of the Vyatka Katyusha series have proven themselves well among Russian-made equipment. They are easy to install and use. Having average characteristics, these devices satisfy the needs of average buyers.

The hatch door reliably isolates the drum during washing so that water does not spill out of it. To ensure that the door closes well, monitor the condition of the hatch cuff and the locking device.

Be careful with the door handle; on the Vyatka Katyusha washing machine it is quite flimsy. In addition to the indicated elements, there are two light bulbs on the control panel of the Vyatka Katyusha washing machine.

One indicator notifies the user that the machine is turned on, and the second indicates that heating is occurring.

Those who are satisfied with almost damp laundry can purchase model 522P. If you want to take semi-dry clothes out of the washing machine, you should opt for 1022P. Housewives often do not use the maximum number of revolutions in order not to spoil things and ensure smooth operation of the equipment, so the most successful option is with average indicators - 722P.

Vyatka-Alenka model 772P

The models have several other significant differences:

• Washing machines Vyatka Katyusha 522Р and 722Р have an enameled tank, while in 1022Р it is made of stainless steel.
• Leakage protection is provided only on the latest version with the maximum number of revolutions for this series.

According to your description, the halves of the pulley move when the engine picks up speed, and this is only possible during the spin cycle, therefore the drum may not rotate during washing. And even if we allow the option of the belt slipping, each time starting the drum in the wash will become more and more difficult. It seems to me that this is what is happening with you. At the moment of start, the belt begins to slip, as the engine picks up speed, the belt tightens and when the friction forces are enough to catch, the engine speed is already high and a jerk occurs. Try tightening or changing the belt.

Repair of Vyatka - Katyusha

Now we need to drag the Vyatka Katyusha 722r machine to where it will be permanently located. By the way, the place for such placement should be prepared in advance:

• the floor is strengthened and leveled (at least relatively);
• any carpeting has been removed and an anti-vibration mat can be laid instead;
• there must be service communications (water supply, sewerage, electrical outlet) in the immediate vicinity of the machine body;
• there should be a gap of at least 1.5 centimeters around the body of the machine, the gap between the bottom of the washing machine and the floor should be about 1 cm.

Once you can properly prepare the area for the washing machine, you can drag it there and begin leveling it. The washing machine body must be installed strictly level, the difference is allowed no more than 2 degrees.

Just a week ago the Vyatka Katyusha washing machine broke down.

It stopped squeezing, and then stopped rotating altogether.

Everything would be fine if it were in the city. I contacted a household appliance repair service and the fault was diagnosed and fixed literally in one day.

But this option did not work, since the device was located in the village, and it was too expensive to transport it to the city.

And his age has exceeded ten years. I had to take a different path, since I disassembled the washing machine more than once and changed the bearings and seals. But I haven’t encountered anything with electronics. I looked on the Internet for possible malfunctions of the engine, and its connection, since there were 6 ends coming out of it.

In short, all the recommendations were not true, since the motor turned out to be a commutator motor and still very French.

Naturally, the control board was connected to the tachometer built into it.

Is this normal or not? There should be no tapping. And the belt should not slip there, and when rotating during the spin cycle, the variator seems to change its diameter due to shifting/spreading. The gear ratio and drum rotation speed change accordingly. You can install a regular pulley instead of this variator and the maximum speed will be not 700 but 500 rpm, but problems with the variator will disappear.

I’ll try to justify myself: if the diameter of one of the pulleys is reduced, the belt tension will weaken, and maybe it will come to slipping. It should - it shouldn't, but it might work out.

History of the Vyatka brand

During the Soviet era, only the wives of party officials and diplomats could boast of foreign washing machines. Everything changed in the late 70s, when the first Vyatka-automatic washing machine, a twin sister of the Italian Ariston model, rolled off the assembly line at a plant in the city of Kirov. At that time, all the neighbors in the house came to see such a miracle of technology.

In the 80th year of the last century, working under the license of Merloni Progetti, he released a trial model “Vyatka-automatic 12”. From the name it is clear that the washing machine had 12 automatic operating modes. At the end of February 1981, the first batch of these models was released in the amount of 100 pieces.

The cost of these devices was not small, it was 495 rubles. Therefore, not everyone could afford such luxury. Over time, the price dropped slightly to 400.

In connection with the advent of the “Vyatka-automatic”, Soviet society became acquainted with another innovation. It was advertised on TV. Advertising for this product was one of the first on television.

Not everyone could buy a domestically produced washing machine, although it was freely sold in stores. In addition to the cost, a certificate from the housing office was also required stating that the electrical wiring at the place of future operation can withstand the corresponding load.

Vyatki were assembled under the license of Marloni Progetti, using Italian equipment for many years. In 2005, due to bankruptcy, the company was bought by the Italian brand Candy. In this regard, production was modernized, and the model range was replenished with modern technical devices with an appropriate set of characteristics.
