4.1. Repair and reassemble washing machine
4.1.1. Reassembling procedure

1. After replacing the defective component of the appliance,
prepare the parts for reassembling. Make sure that there are no
missing parts and as well as the screw/s.
2. Fix all the disassembled parts in the housing/compartment,
considering the fittings/locks.
3. Wires and loose parts should be in proper place to avoid
damaged due to misaligned compartment.
4. All sides of the housing should fit accordingly. Moving parts must
move as it can be moved by hand and free from obstructions.
5. Tighten screw/s accordingly.
Clean the unit before doing the post-testing procedure.
Post-testing Procedure:
1. Test the resistance at the AC plug to determine the
continuity of the power line to the AC motor. A resistance
reading must be observed as you turn the timer switch to
ON position. This indicates that the circuit connection is
good.
2. In the case of electronically-controlled washing machine,
there is no resistance reading as you test the AC plug.
The reason is that there is a low-voltage power supply
circuit that controls the functions of the appliance.
3. Energize the unit to check its functionality. Plug the AC
cord to the power source (the timer switch is at OFF
position and power ON button for electronically-
controlled must be OFF too).
If not, review the documentation and the
problem for the second time.
1. Test the resistance at the AC plug to determine
the continuity of the power line to the AC motor.
A resistance reading must be observed.
2. Energize the unit to check its functionality. Press
button one at a time observing the behavior.
3. This time, the unit should operate normally. If
not, review the documentation and the problem
for the second time.
4.2. Test and clean the final reassembled unit
4.2.1Testing procedure of washing machine
Test a washing machine that fills with water but
will not drain
Test a Washing Machine That Will Not Start
Test a Washing Machine That Vibrates, and
Shakes:-
– Check the Machine Is Balanced
– Tighten Any Connection Straps
– Check the Load is balanced
– Consider an Anti-Vibration Pad
Test a Washing Machine That Will Not
Start
– Check the Machine Is Balanced

– Tighten Any Connection Straps
– Check the Load is balanced
– Consider an Anti-Vibration Pad
4.2.2. Cleaning procedure of repaired washing machine
Common methods of cleaning washing machine
• Lower washing temperatures and non-biological
detergents do cause a build-up of soap, so wipe your
detergent drawers with a damp cloth or kitchen paper as
often as possible.
• Every two months, carefully pull out the drawer (check
manufacturer’s instructions) and soak in hot water.
• Check your drain filters regularly for fluff, hair, lint and
general debris.
• Inspect your hoses, checking for kinks and signs of wear
and tear. Most manufacturers recommend changing hoses
every five years.
• Keep your washing-machine’s glass door clean inside and
out as dust can be a fire hazard.
• Regularly examine the door seal and remove any
stray objects.
• Leave the washing-machine door ajar between
wash cycles to allow air to flow and prevent
mould.
• Run a maintenance wash once a month to
eliminate detergent build-up. With the machine
empty, set it to the highest-temperature cotton
wash.
• Lower temperature washes can mean detergent
residues can build up in the appliance and other
parts that aren’t easy to see.
4.2.3 Methods of cleaning a washing-machine pump
filter
Most modern washing machines have a filter to protect
the pump from obstructions.
• Check your instructions to find where yours is and how
to find the retractable pipe.
• Place a towel or two on the floor, then unscrew the
filter. Remove any obstructions then wash in hot, soapy
water. Replace.
• If there’s no obvious filter at the front, you can remove
the kick-strip at the front of the washing machine to see
if it’s hidden there. It usually clips into place with three
or so tabs. You may need to use a flat-bladed
screwdriver, but be very careful, because kick-strips are
4.4.Dispose waste materials
Waste disposal, the collection, processing, and recycling or

deposition of the waste materials of human society. Waste is
classified by source and composition
4.4.1. Methods of Dispose Waste materials
Landfill
• In this process, the waste that cannot be reused or recycled are
separated out and spread as a thin layer in low-lying areas across a
city. A layer of soil is added after each layer of garbage
• This process reduces the volume of waste by 90 per cent and is
considered as one of the most hygienic methods of waste disposal.
Incineration
• Incineration is the process of controlled combustion of garbage to
reduce it to incombustible matter such as ash and waste gas. The
exhaust gases from this process may be toxic, hence it is treated
before being released into the environment
Waste Compaction
• The waste materials such as cans and plastic bottles are
compacted into blocks and sent for recycling. This process
prevents the oxidation of metals and reduces airspace need,
thus making transportation and positioning easy.
Biogas Generation
• Biodegradable waste, such as food items, animal waste or
organic industrial waste from food packaging industries is
sent to bio-degradation plants. In bio-degradation plants,
they are converted to biogas by degradation with the help
of bacteria, fungi, or other microbes. Here, the organic
matter serves as food for the micro-organisms. The
degradation can happen aerobically (with oxygen) or an
aerobically (without oxygen). Biogas is generated as a result
of this process, which is used as fuel, and the residue is
used as manure.
Composting
• All organic materials decompose with time. Food scraps, yard waste,
etc., make up for one of the major organic wastes we throw every day.
The process of composting starts with these organic wastes being buried
under layers of soil and then, are left to decay under the action of
microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
• This results in the formation of nutrient-rich manure. Also, this process
ensures that the nutrients are replenished in the soil. Besides enriching
the soil, composting also increases the water retention capacity. In
agriculture, it is the best alternative to chemical fertilizers.
Vermicomposting
• Vermicomposting is the process of using worms for the degradation of
organic matter into nutrient-rich manure. Worms consume and
digest the organic matter. The by-products of digestion which are
excreted out by the worms make the soil nutrient-rich, thus enhancing
the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is also far more effective than
traditional composting.
