[Solved] Amica AWX612D washing machine - transport locks cannot be removed, what should I

The subject of the Amica AWX612D case is new, I'll be damned right now, like a simple matter - transport screws / security, as always because I have done it many times, I unscrew the screws, unpack the plugs, and nothing here and the plastic part plus rubber can not be pulled out by force for China, and I am not a weakling.

I looked inside the washing machine through the lid and it shows what is shown in the pictures: the rubber is much wider than the concave hole in the tray, I have the impression that the plastic extension would not work either. I tried to smear the gum with liquid, but there is no chance it does not come out, and even overlaps the plate. Acting as an effective blockade, using a jack one of the locks on the outside was broken, the remnants still cannot be removed. Really using all his strength he has no chance of either circular motion or any other technique.

I took out the bolts with the washers, the drum jumped back, but the plastic contraption remained inside and it cannot be moved, and on the Amica hotline I only hear "Dear Customer ... we inform you that you can contact us from Monday to Friday ..."

On all these YouTube videos it comes out simple and easy, I thought maybe you don't need to remove the bolts after removing the screws and unlocking the drum, maybe a new system? Only then, why does the manual say that it must be pulled out and why would they attach plugs to the set? Has any of you been doing this? Because I'm about to collapse ...

To my eye, it seems to me that you need to unscrew it first to loosen the gum, and then take it out. What does the manual say? So now I look and it is possible that you need to tighten the screw that you pulled out, and yet the instruction says to unscrew. Maybe it stung. I would now attack rubbers with a wallpaper knife.

The instruction states that you need to remove the screws, and then remove the plastic brackets and rubber. And that's it. The screws twisted slightly and without resistance, there was no tearing out, while the rubber is seared around the plate and can be twisted, but very hard, while the plastic shaft itself together with the rubber on the inside are much thicker than the hole.

So I can not imagine how it is supposed to be pulled out, in guides and videos the hole is always larger than this and the handle comes out loose. When I pulled it by force, I broke my head off when I used a megaphone. I tried to put some washing-up liquid on it, but it still couldn't wring out / pull out / push out. Even if it came out like this, I don't have access to the bottom screws. As soon as you pull the pin, the rubber inside swells and overlaps the edges of the sheet through which it should pass.

I pulled out one plastic bracket (see photo) and yet nothing comes out, I could definitely push it inside, but then I will be messing around in the casing, and I guess that's not what the manufacturer meant? Or maybe it should stay inside as it is and only the bolts should be pulled out so that the drum breaks free and snaps off.

This, unfortunately, will not help ... but if you push it in, it will probably not "pan" in the housing, unless you throw it

Hello, the matter was partially solved by force and on this basis I have to comment on it so that the manufacturer probably fell down.


The washing machine tapped the drum hard while spinning, so the option to leave these sticks inside fell out.

I pushed the torn top cover inside and pulled it out (top) and I could finally see it.

The whole thing cannot be removed, the manufacturer's intention was that the protection consists of an internal pin, a cap with a latch, and a large piece of brittle rubber between them. The inner pin should be pulled out (latch) and pulled by the head, the outer cap falls inside and the rubber between them is pulled out, which is possible only after removing the inner pin.

The latch is so "flexible" that 3 heads broke, and only the last one was pulled out by a swinging motion, and after breaking the tab of the head, the rubber could only be pulled out and at the bottom of the washing machine there were 4 holes through which, after intricately tilting the washing machine, it was finally possible roll over the caps and pull out (only it was like playing this game in the arcade where you led the ball (blind here) through the maze by tilting the entire top.

Another thing is that after this job my hands are bruised and bloody, and I remind you that I have been going to the gym for 2 years, so ... if a woman or a pensioner got a washing machine, I wonder how the producer imagines this fun ?? And I would like to remind you that in the manual the only sentence devoted to this issue is "you should remove the screws and plastic protections absolutely before starting the first wash"

For those interested in the future: the head has 2 protrusions for which it is supposed to catch, there are hooks exactly on the line of these protrusions, so you have to pendulum in the direction of these protrusions with this head, one and the other way, while pulling and praying that the "brilliant" latch will release before he "lets go" the plastic of the head

And when it breaks, you have to push it inside and tilt the washing machine to place the protection on one of the 4 holes in the bottom of the washing machine.

Dear friend :)

Sometimes the gym is not enough, sometimes you have to use lepetin.
I actually struggled with the first protection because I did it with your method. After a while, however, I had a trivial idea. For the other three, I did not remove the screws completely, but halfway. Grasping the bolt and moving it sideways and in a circular motion, the thread bit into the plastic, engage and act as a lever recessed into the housing. Much better than just jerking off the head. One of the remaining three tabs is broken. I did the other 3 times faster than the first.
