To find a faulty part or a damaged contact in the mixer, the electrical appliance must be disassembled. It is especially important in this case to be extremely careful so as not to spoil anything, exacerbating the breakdown.
Necessary
- - screwdriver
- - paper clip
- - long nose pliers
- - camera
Instructions
Step 1
Most of the mixer models are equipped with a plastic injection molded body. Such manufacturing of the housing allows the fasteners to be hidden. Most often it is located at the very bottom of the recesses in the body.
Step 2
If the grooves are covered with plastic plugs, gently pry them off and pull them out. As a rule, such devices are made in the form of overlays on the bottom surface of the mixer or non-slip "legs".
Step 3
Sometimes fasteners are covered with self-adhesive labels. To find out if there are any indentations under them, slide your finger over each one with some pressure. In the places where the grooves are found, carefully remove the stickers to return them to their place after assembly, or simply pierce with a screwdriver to get to the mount.
Step 4
Often, mixers have hidden latches in addition to the mounting screws. To find them, remove the screws and gently squeeze the housing along the visible joint seams. Alternatively, “feel” these seams with a flat screwdriver and try to release the latch by gently pressing in the right place.
Step 5
Take extra care when looking for hidden fasteners as they are easy to break, especially if they have been exposed to heat or ultraviolet light.
Step 6
Open the mixer and carefully inspect the wire connections, internal parts and components before proceeding further. Take photos and notes as needed to successfully complete the assembly. Every connection and all items must be returned to their place in proper condition.
Step 7
Pay attention to the way you connect the electrical conductor to the terminal. If a counterpart made of metal is put on quite tightly on a flat knife-type terminal, then do not pull or swing it, so as not to break the connection. To remove the tip from the terminal, use long-nose pliers or a screwdriver.
Step 8
If a bare wire is inserted under the screw, loosen the latter. When replacing the cord, twist the wires that make up the core and insert the wire into the terminal. After making sure there is no exposed area outside, tighten the screw.
Step 9
To disconnect the wire from the crimp lug, insert a thin rod, such as a hairpin or paper clip, next to the wire. Then remove the spike from the wire.
