Resumo

TLDRIn this informative video, Matt from eSpares demonstrates the inner workings of a Bosch front loader washing machine. He disassembles the machine to reveal its components, including the water inlets, detergent drawer, and the dual-drum system. The video explains how the machine fills with water, heats it, and uses a motor to spin the drum while maintaining stability with counterweights. The control module is highlighted as the brain of the operation, managing water intake, drainage, and spin speed. Matt reassures viewers that washing machines are simpler than they seem and that spare parts are easily accessible through eSpares.

In this video, Matt from eSpares explains the workings of a Bosch front loader washing machine. He begins by removing the front, top, and back panels to reveal the internal components. The machine operates by agitating clothes in warm, soapy water, with water flowing in through hot and cold inlets controlled by solenoid valves. Detergent is introduced into the drum, which consists of an outer plastic tub and an inner metal drum with holes for water flow. The water is heated by an element similar to a kettle, and a pressure chamber regulates the water level. The machine features counterbalance weights for stability during the spin cycle, and a motor connected to a belt and pulley system drives the drum. Waste water is expelled through a drain pump equipped with a fluff filter to catch debris. The control module oversees the machine's operations, including water intake, drainage, heating, and spin speed, while ensuring the door remains locked during use. Overall, Matt emphasizes that washing machines are not as complex as they seem and that spare parts are readily available on the eSpares website.

Hi, I’m Matt from eSpares.
00:00:09
In this video, I’m going to show you how a washing machine works. Now this is a typical
00:00:13
front loader machine made by Bosch and I’m going to remove the whole of the front including
00:00:18
the door, the top and the back panel, so that I can show you what’s going on inside.
00:00:23
So the machine works by agitating your clothes in warm, soapy water. Let’s from the flow
00:00:36
of water as it comes through. From the back we’ve got a hot water and a cold water inlet.
00:00:42
You may just be using the cold water and not the hot, and these solenoid valves open to
00:00:47
let the water flow through into our detergent drawer. The detergent is washed down through
00:00:55
this pipe and into the drum,. Now the drum itself is really two drums: there’s this
00:00:59
outer plastic water tight tub and inner metal drum with the holes in it that the water can
00:01:06
flow through. As the water sits in the bottom of the drum, its heated up by this element,
00:01:13
looks very much like a kettle element. And as the water fills up, this pressure chamber
00:01:18
here fills and squeezes air up to our water level regulator which, when there’s enough
00:01:24
water in the drum, tells the solenoid valves to switch off and stop the water flow.
00:01:30
Now, you can also see that we have this very large weight, this counter balance weight
00:01:35
from the front of the drum and there’s another one here on the top. They’re just to give
00:01:40
the whole thing a bit of stability and to stop the machine wondering off out the door
00:01:44
when it’s on its fastest spin cycle. Now what’s actually causing it to spin? Let’s
00:01:48
have a look at the back of the machine. And here we have our motor, which is bolted to
00:01:53
the bottom of the tub and that acts as another counter weight. That’s turning our belt
00:02:00
and pulley which is attached to the drum through the water tight seal and a set of bearings.
00:02:06
When it’s time for the machine to empty, out drain pump here, that just pumps away
00:02:14
our waste water up through our waste pipe. And you can see on the front of the pump housing
00:02:24
here, we just have a little fluff filter, that catches any debris, stops going through
00:02:29
the pump.
00:02:30
And so finally, we have the brains of the operation, which is the control module here.
00:02:36
Now that makes all the important decisions about when to let the water in, when to drain
00:02:40
the water out, what temperature to heat the water to and how fast to spin the drum at
00:02:45
the end of the cycle. It’s also connected to the door interlock, and that just makes
00:02:51
sure that the door stays firmly locked whilst the machine’s in operation.
00:02:56
So I’m sure you’ll agree, washing machine’s not as complicated as you first might think.
00:03:00
And the parts inside can all be very easily replaced. Spare parts for all makes and models
00:03:05
of appliance are available on the eSpares website. Thanks for watching.
