Does the Atlant washing machine have a dismountable drum?

Washing machine bearings are designed to withstand heavy loads. However, due to natural wear, the bearing rings deteriorate and cease to function properly. If the washing machine's operating instructions are not followed, the bearing spider may also become deformed. Such failures require repair.

That's why prudent people often ask themselves whether their Atlant washing machine has a disassemblable drum before purchasing. It's better when the drum can be split into two halves without damaging the structure—this makes replacing bearings much easier in the future. Let's take a look at the capacities of Belarusian washing machines.

What is the tank and drum?

When replacing the bearings and spider, you don't have to disassemble the drum. The metal tank will remain intact. You'll have to split the tank in half. What kind of tank are Atlant machines?

Atlant washing machines are equipped with detachable tanks.

When designing the washing machines, the company's engineers decided to make the drums detachable. All modern Atlant models are equipped with such drums. This will significantly simplify future repairs (if bearings, seals, or the drum crosspiece need replacing).

The main advantages of Atlant washing machines are:

• maintainability;
• reliability and durability;
• low cost along with high-quality assembly;
• three-year manufacturer's warranty;
• ease of bearing replacement.

A detachable tank is an advantage of any automatic machine. Manufacturers of Atlant washing machines promise that with proper care and adherence to operating instructions, they can last 7-10 years without requiring any repairs. But even if replacement of the bearing unit is necessary, it will be easy to do.

Experienced users, when choosing a new washing machine, check whether the drum is removable or not. For many, this is a crucial criterion. Any appliance has a limited lifespan, including washing machines. Therefore, it's best to consider this from the start to avoid worrying about how to maintain the washing machine later.
