Turning on the Vyatka automatic washing machine immediately after purchase is a bad idea. Before starting the equipment, you must read the instructions and prepare the machine for washing by performing several important procedures. Otherwise, the unit will either wash worse or break. To ensure that the first launch goes without surprises and troubles, you should act in a certain sequence. We’ll look at what to do and how to do it in detail.
Installation
After purchasing the equipment and transporting it to your home, you can start installing it. You should unpack the washing machine carefully; do not tear the box. After you have freed the unit from its packaging, you should remove the shipping elements from it. Their schematic location and removal instructions can be found in the image below. Items for transportation are required. They secure the drum, so it does not spin during transportation.
Do not throw away the transport bolts; they should be saved. For example, in case you move.
Preparing the site
You have unpacked the machine, and your next step is to move it to its designated place. This will be a permanent place where the washer will perform its duties. When choosing such a place, you need to meet several conditions:
- The floor under the machine must be strong and level.
- Remove carpet runners; you can only place a special rug under the machine.
- For maintenance, it is necessary to have nearby sewerage, water supply and an electrical outlet.
- The washing unit must be placed so that there is a gap of one and a half centimeters from the body. The distance from the floor to the bottom of the machine should be about 1 cm.
Adjustment
After the location has been selected and prepared according to the rules, you can install the washing machine. It must be level. The maximum angle of inclination of the unit relative to the level is 2 degrees. The washing machine also has legs. By twisting them you can adjust the angle of inclination. By unscrewing the locknuts you can change the height of the legs. When the distance from the floor to the bottom of the machine and the angle of inclination are adjusted according to the instructions, you can begin to level the washing machine. If this is not done, then it may become very noisy in the future.
Connection
The next step is to connect the washing machine. First, a connection is made with the water supply and sewerage systems. Only then can you turn on the machine to the network. Our model requires a grounded electrical outlet. It must be protected automatically. The socket is powered by copper or aluminum wires. It is advisable to call an electrician. If the outlet is ready, then insert the cord into it.
How to extend the life of the device
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.

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.
Main components of a washing machine
This information will be useful before using the machine. Let's list the external elements of our washing machine with which users will always be in contact, and briefly describe them.
Hatch door
The purpose of the door is to isolate the water in the drum so that it does not spill out of it. When you close the door, check the hatch seal; the door may not close. When opening the hatch door, be careful with the handle - it is not very strong and may break if handled carelessly. The hatch door is closed using a locking mechanism.
Powder tray
Or another name - powder receiver. This is a special retractable compartment in the body of the machine into which powder or detergent is poured. In addition to the powder receptacle, detergent can also be poured into the drum.
Control Panel
Many users find it difficult to understand the control panel of the washing machine. There is nothing difficult about this, just try a few times. The control panel elements are buttons and knobs.
Program selection knob
On the right side of the panel there is a knob that selects the washing mode. Here you can select the program you need from the list provided by simply turning the knob to the desired value.
Temperature control knob
You can adjust the water heating using the appropriate knob.
Buttons
After the handles there are 4 buttons, each of which performs different functions.
- To turn off the spin press the first button.
- Using the second button you can turn on the half load mode.
- Want to stop washing? Pause it using the third button.
- The fourth is needed to turn the washing machine on and off.
Indicator lights
There are only two of them. One light will notify us that the machine is turned on, and the second will indicate that heating is in progress.
Common faults
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.
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.
Let's start washing
When putting dirty items into the drum, be sure to sort them. When sorting items, consider the type of fabric and the recommended washing temperature. Similar information can be found on labels or tags. Be sure to inspect your pockets for money, documents, and keys. Everything must be taken out of your pockets. If you have clothes with a zipper, you need to fasten them or the zippers may break. It is better not to put things in the wash with dangling buttons yet, because they will fly off during the process. You should not overload the drum with clothes, just as you should not put too few things. The maximum weight of things that can be put into the drum is 4.5 kg. The best option would be if you wash 3 kg.
After sorting and loading things into the drum, close the hatch lid tightly and pour the powder into the tray. Then we start the machine by pressing the corresponding button (the power button is the one farthest from the tray). Use the handles to adjust the temperature and washing mode. After selecting the washing program, the machine will start washing.
The wash has reached its end and the program selection knob will reach the STOP value. After this, the lock from the hatch door is removed and things can be pulled out. Clean clothes are sent to dry.
When all the laundry is removed from the drum, unplug the machine. It is advisable to turn off the water. Wipe the inside of the drum and powder receptacle with a rag. Inspect the control panel, if it is wet, wipe it too. There is no need to close the hatch door after finishing the wash. It should always be left open, except for washing, of course. All insides must be dried, otherwise fungus may develop over time.
So, we have briefly explained to you the manual for using the washing machine. All this, only in a larger volume, is contained in the full version of the instructions for the Katyusha Vyatka model.

Engine repair and connection diagram
The connection diagram for the motor of the Vyatka type of machine is one of the main parts of the programmer, which must be taken into account during repairs. The electric motor itself consists of two reverse coils, which create the direction of the torsion shaft.
The engines installed in Vyatka are different, but their technical parameters are not much different. The reverse speed is 2200 rpm, and the spin speed is 450 rpm. The terminals on the motors are five or six pin.
However, the connection diagram of the engine to the Vyatka automatic machine device is the same in both cases. Let's look at it:
scheme of work
If connected correctly, the motor starts well in both directions. The only thing that needs to be taken into account in this case is that reversing the direction of rotation is performed only when the shaft is completely stopped, since the winding is not capable of withstanding large currents. It should also be taken into account that the thermal contact must be turned off when the unit is operating in the cold. Since they tend to burst due to temperature changes, this also applies to overheating.
Selection rules
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.

- Washing machines Vyatka Katyusha 522Р and 722Р have an enameled tank, while in 1022Р it is made of stainless steel.
