DEVICE OF THE MACHINE "MALYUTKA-2"
Washing in the machine occurs under the action of the circulation of a soap solution that penetrates between the layers and pores of the matter.
The device of the washing machine is shown in fig. 1 and 2.
The washing machine consists of a tank (pos. I), a cover (pos. 2) and a casing (pos. 3), in which an electric motor (pos. 4) and other electrical equipment are installed.
Tank, cover and casing are made of plastic.
The casing with electrical equipment has a threaded flange (pos. P), on which the activator body (pos. II) is screwed. A cuff is installed in the flange (pos. 10).
The activator is screwed on the pas of the electric motor (pos ]2).
A switch (pos. 5) is installed on the casing with a cap (pos. 6) screwed onto it and the symbols 1 or “on” and 0 or “off” are indicated.
On the lid there are latches "B", which provide a tight fit of the lid to the buck. Some of the cars were released from the roofs
us without latches "B", while the lid is freely inserted into the upper part of the tank.
The electrical circuit diagram is shown in fig. 3.
The plant reserves the right to make changes to the design and electrical circuit that do not affect the quality of the machine.
PREPARATION FOR WORK
1. Preparing laundry.
Sort the laundry into groups:
By fiber type:
a) cotton and linen;
b) woolen;
c) silk and viscose;
By color:
b) color;
By pollution:
a) lightly polluted;
b) heavily polluted.
Cotton and linen should be soaked before washing.
Wash very thin linen with lace and fringes in a sheath or net.
Wash heavily soiled areas of laundry.
Make sure that torn laundry is mended before washing.
For an approximate calculation of the load of the machine, refer to the table of the weight of individual items given in Appendix 1.
2. Preparing the machine for work.
Place the washing machine firmly in a place convenient for you near an electrical outlet. To install the machine above the bathtub, we recommend using a special stand or board to prevent the machine from falling.
To make it easier to drain the liquid from the tank of the machine, either plug the threaded sleeve (pos. 7) with a plug (pos. 8), or install a drain hose, the other end of which should be inserted into the slot “A” at the upper edge of the tank (see fig. I).
To avoid accidental spillage of liquid on electrical equipment, we recommend covering the handle of the casing with a piece of cloth or polyethylene film. Fabric or foil must not cover the ventilation slots of the casing.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Fill the tank of the machine with water up to the liquid level mark.
ATTENTION! The temperature of the water poured into the tank must not exceed 80°C. Do not heat water with a boiler installed inside the tank.
1. Laundry.
Pour washing powder into the tank of the machine in accordance with the rate indicated on its packaging.
ATTENTION! Do not add more washing powder than the norm, because with an abundance of foam, the laundry will be collected in a lump at the bottom of the tank.
cotton and linen (washing solution temperature 70-80°C);
silk (washing solution temperature 50-60°C);
wool and viscose (washing solution temperature 30-40°C).
To avoid staining, do not wash whites with colours.
It is desirable that each batch of linen consists of products of different shapes and sizes. This will prevent the laundry from twisting into a bundle during washing. For example, we recommend washing a sheet with a pillowcase and a towel, a tablecloth with a shirt and napkins, etc. at the same time.
Wash heavily soiled laundry last in each group.
Load linen individually.
Pay attention to the fact that there are no air bubbles in the laundry that keep it on the surface of the solution.
Close the tank with a lid.
If the lid of your machine is made with latches, then make sure that the latches "B" of the lid tightly press it to the tank.
Plug the cord into a socket.
Turn on the machine with the switch (pos. 5) mounted on the cover. In the future, turn on and off only with a switch.
Wash cotton or linen for 4-5 minutes, silk, wool or synthetic for 2-3 minutes.
Leave at least 3 minutes between each wash.
ATTENTION! Extending the wash time or shortening the pauses may cause the laundry to wear out prematurely, as well as damage to the machine.
For lightly soiled laundry, the washing time can be reduced.
Turn the switch lever to stop the machine. Remove the cover.
If the cover is made with “B” latches, then open the cover by grasping a special ledge located above the casing with electrical equipment.
Remove the laundry from the tub.
Remove the plug from the socket.
Drain the solution. Remove the remaining liquid by slightly tilting the tank towards the drain hole.
Rinse the tank with clean water.
2. Rinsing clothes.
Fill the tank of the machine with clean water (temperature 30-40°C).
Load the bin with laundry, close the lid and turn on the machine.
The rinse lasts about 2 minutes.
Repeat the rinse 2-3 times, changing the water.
After finishing work, remove the plug from the socket, wash the tank and the lid. Wipe the machine thoroughly with a dry cloth.
MAINTENANCE
Protect the surfaces of the washing machine from damage.
Do not allow the surfaces of plastic parts to come into contact with active solvents (acetone, dichloroethane, etc.), as well as with objects heated above 80°C.
Wash contaminated surfaces with baking soda and soapy water using a soft cloth.
The use of sand, metal brushes, soap-sand and other abrasive products is not allowed.
Electric motor bearings are designed to operate throughout their entire operating life without the use of additional lubrication.

1 - activator; 2, 6 - flanges; 3 - screw; 4 - sealing ring; 5 - activator shaft; 7 - bushing; 8 - body of the activator; 9 - cuff; 10 - sealing ring; 11 - sleeve
Next, install the cuff 9 (Fig. 2) in the flange seat 2. Loose, skewed fit of the cuff will cause liquid to flow out of the machine tank. Flange 2 is installed pre-assembled with parts 10, 9,11, 6, 7, 5 and fixed by evenly tightening screws 3. Drain hole B of the flange must be located at the bottom. The body of the activator 8 must be screwed onto the flange 2 until the sealing ring 4 is firmly pressed against the tank wall. Install the washer, nut and locknut onto the switch.
A special key for removing and installing the activator housing can be made from a piece of a water pipe. Its length should be 100...150 mm more than the diameter of the activator body.
Drill through the pipe body two holes with a diameter of 6 mm symmetrically with respect to its center. The distance between holes should be 95 mm. Insert screws into these holes of such length that they protrude from the pipe by 10 ... 15 mm. Securely fasten the screws on the pipe with nuts - and the key is ready.
The Malyutka washing machine is well known to the Russian consumer and was quite popular in Soviet times. Today, against the background of the emergence of a new generation of automatic washing machines, interest in mini-aggregates has noticeably decreased. However, there are circumstances in which buying a large car is impossible, and then miniature "Babies" come to the rescue. They do their job well and are quite in demand among owners of small-sized housing, summer residents and students.
Device and principle of operation
The mini-machine for washing clothes "Malyutka" is a compact and lightweight device, consisting of a plastic case with a drain hole, an engine and an activator. In addition, each model is equipped with a hose, a cap, and sometimes a rubber stopper.
It is worth noting that the name "Baby" gradually became a household name and began to denote similar devices of different brands, the common characteristics of which were small size, lack of complex functions, activator-type design and simple device.
The principle of operation of mini-washing machines is very simple and consists in the following: an electric motor makes a paddle activator spin, which sets the water in the tank, which acts as a drum, in motion. Some models have a reverse function that rotates the blade alternately in both directions. This technology prevents the linen from twisting and prevents the fabric from stretching: clothes are washed better and do not lose their original shape.
The wash cycle is set manually using a timer and usually ranges from 5 to 15 minutes. There are also samples with a centrifuge, however, the washing and spinning processes take place in one drum in turn, which is why the washing time increases significantly.
Water is poured into the "Baby" manually, and drained by means of a hose through a drain hole located at the bottom of the body. Most mini-cars do not have a heating option, and therefore water must be poured already hot. The exception is the Feya-2P model, which heats water in the drum.
The design of the "Baby" does not include filters, valves, pumps and electronics, which makes the machine as simple as possible and significantly reduces the likelihood of breakdown.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any other household appliances, Baby type machines have both strengths and weaknesses. The advantages of mini-aggregates include:
- compact dimensions that allow you to place them in the bathrooms of small apartments and hostels, as well as take them with you to the country;
- minimal water consumption and lack of connection to water supply and sewerage, which allows the use of "Baby" in uncomfortable housing;
- light weight of 7-10 kg, which makes it possible to remove the machine after washing for storage in a niche or pantry, and also move it as needed to another place;
- low power consumption, allowing you to save the budget;
- a short wash cycle, significantly speeding up the whole process;
- lack of complex knots;
- minimum cost.
The disadvantages of "Baby" include the lack of heating and spinning functions in most models, a small capacity of no more than 4 kg of linen, and noise during operation.
In addition, washing on activator-type machines requires the constant presence of a person and much more labor costs in comparison with automatic and semi-automatic machines.
Popular Models
To date, not many companies are engaged in the production of Malyutka-type machines, which is due to the low demand for these products. However, some manufacturers not only do not stop producing mini-aggregates, but also equip them with additional functions, such as heating and spinning.
Below are the most famous samples, reviews of which are most often found on the Internet.
- Machine "Agate" from the Ukrainian manufacturer weighs only 7 kg and is equipped with a 370 W motor. The wash timer has a range from 1 to 15 minutes, and the activator located at the bottom of the case is equipped with a reverse. "Agat" is characterized by low energy consumption and belongs to the class "A ++". The model is produced in dimensions of 45x45x50 cm, holds 3 kg of linen and does not work too noisily.
- Model "Kharkovchanka SM-1M" from NPO "Electrotyazhmash" in Kharkov is a compact unit with a non-removable cover and a timer. A distinctive feature of the model is the location of the engine, which is located on top of the body; in most samples, it is located at the junction of the rear walls of the tank. This design makes the machine even more compact, allowing it to be used in small spaces.
- Activator machine "Fairy SM-2" from the Votkinsk Machine-Building Plant weighs 14 kg and is produced in dimensions of 45x44x47 cm. The tank holds up to 2 kg of dirty laundry, which is quite enough to serve one or two people. The body of the product is made of high quality white plastic, the power of the electric motor is 300W.
- Model with heating function "Fey-2P" equipped with an electric heating element that maintains the desired water temperature throughout the entire washing time. The body of the product is made of high-strength plastic, and the inner tank is made of composite polymers. The weight of the unit is 15 kg, the maximum load of linen is 2 kg, the power consumption is 0.3 kW / h. Of the options, there is a liquid level control (foam) and a half load mode.
- Machine "Baby-2"(021) is a miniature device and is designed to load 1 kg of laundry. The volume of the washing tank is 27 liters, the weight of the unit together with the packaging does not exceed 10 kg. The model will be an ideal option for a student living in a hostel, or a summer resident.
- Model "Princess CM-1 Blue" is produced in a blue translucent case and has small dimensions of 44x34x36 cm. The machine is equipped with a timer with a duration of up to 15 minutes, can hold 1 kg of dry laundry and is filled through a hose. The product is equipped with rubber feet and a carrying handle, consumes 140 W and weighs 5 kg. The machine is equipped with a reverse and has a 1 year warranty.
- Mini wringer Rolsen WVL-300S holds up to 3 kg of dry laundry, has mechanical control and is available in dimensions of 37x37x51 cm. Spinning is performed using a centrifuge, which is installed in the tank and can rotate at a speed of 300 rpm. The disadvantages of the model include a relatively high noise level, reaching 58 dB, and the duration of the washing process.
Criterias of choice
When choosing an activator machine like "Baby" a number of points must be taken into account.
- If the unit is purchased for a family with a small child, it is better to choose a model with a spin function. Such models are able to hold up to 3 kg of laundry, which will be quite enough for washing children's clothes. In addition, spinning contributes to the rapid drying of linen, which is quite important for young mothers.
- When choosing a machine for one person, living in a hostel or rented accommodation, you can limit yourself to miniature models with a load of 1-2 kg. Such machines are very economical and do not take up much space.
- If the machine is bought for a summer residence, then the spin function can be neglected, since you can also dry clothes in the open air. For such cases, a unit with a water heating function is ideal, which will greatly facilitate washing at their summer cottage.
- If "Baby" is purchased as the main washing machine for permanent use, it is better to choose a model with a reverse. Such units do not tear the laundry and wash it more evenly. In addition, the main task of a home machine is to accommodate as many things as possible, including quite large ones (plaids, bed linen), and therefore it is advisable to choose a unit with a large tank, designed for at least 4 kg of laundry.
How to use?
The operation of activator machines of the "Malyutka" type is very simple and does not cause difficulties. The main thing is to follow the rules for using the unit, without neglecting safety precautions.
- If the car has just been brought from the balcony in the cold season, you can't turn it on right away. The engine should warm up to room temperature, which usually takes 3-4 hours.
- The unit must not be installed close to a wall.- it is better to place the machine at a distance of 5-10 cm. This will prevent increased noise associated with the vibration of equipment.
- If the model does not have a drain hose, then it should be placed on a wooden grate or a stool installed in the bath. For greater stability and to reduce vibration, it is advisable to lay a rubberized mat under the bottom of the machine. In this case, the unit must stand very evenly and rest on the base with the entire surface of the bottom.
- To prevent splashes from reaching the engine, it is recommended to cover the casing with polyethylene without blocking the ventilation openings.
- drain hose g you need to fix the edge of the top on the body of the machine, only after that proceed to the collection of water.
- After the hot water has reached the desired level, powder is poured into the tank, the laundry is laid, the machine is connected to the network, after which the timer is started. The water temperature for cotton and linen fabrics should not exceed 80 degrees, for silk - 60 degrees, and for viscose and woolen products - 40 degrees. Wash whites separately from colours, to avoid staining.
- Between loads the machine must rest for at least 3 minutes.
- After the clothes are washed, the unit is disconnected from the network, the hose is lowered down, the water is drained, then the tank is rinsed. After that, clean water is poured with a temperature of up to 40 degrees, the laundry is laid, the machine is turned on and the timer is started for 2-3 minutes. If the design of the machine provides for spinning, then the laundry is wrung out in a centrifuge, then hung out to dry. The machine is disconnected from the power supply, washed and wiped dry with a clean cloth.
An overview of the use of the washing machine is presented in the video.
When using "Baby" you need to remember about safety regulations.
- Do not leave the device unattended as well as allow small children to visit it.
- You can not heat the water in the tank with a boiler, handle the plug and cord with wet hands.
- During washing, it is forbidden to place the machine on bare ground or a metal floor.
- It is forbidden to move the machine connected to the mains and filled with water. And also it is impossible to simultaneously touch the body of the unit and grounded objects - heating radiators or water pipes.
- Do not allow the interaction of the plastic parts of the unit with acetone-containing substances and dichloroethane, and also place the machine in close proximity to open flames and heating devices.
- Store "Baby" should be at a temperature not lower than +5 degrees and relative air humidity not higher than 80%, as well as in the absence of acid vapors and other substances that adversely affect the plastic.
DIY repair
Despite the simple device and the absence of complex components, "Baby" type washing machines sometimes fail. In the event of a breakdown of the electric motor, it is unlikely that it will be possible to repair the unit on your own, but it is quite possible to eliminate the leak, solve the problem with the activator or change the oil seal on your own. To do this, you need to learn how to disassemble the machine and adhere to a certain repair scheme.
Disassembly
Before any repair, the unit is disconnected from the mains and installed on a flat, well-lit surface. Before disassembling the machine, experts recommend waiting 5-7 minutes for the capacitor to discharge. Then, a plug is removed from the hole located on the rear side of the motor casing, the hole in the impeller is aligned with the hole in the casing and a screwdriver is inserted through it into the rotor of the engine.
The activator is carefully unscrewed, after which the tank is disconnected. Next, unscrew 6 screws, remove the flange and unscrew the lock nut with a rubber nut that fix the switch.
Then remove the washers and unscrew the screws that tighten the halves of the casing. These parts are carefully removed to gain access to the electric motor and other pieces of equipment.
Fixing the activator
One of the most common activator malfunctions is a violation of its mobility, and, as a result, the washing process stops. This can happen from an overload of the tank, as a result of which the engine starts to work at high speeds, the machine buzzes, and the blades stand still. To eliminate this problem, it is enough to unload the tank and let the motor rest, while in more serious cases, disassembly of the activator is required. A common reason for the impeller to stop is winding threads and rags on the shaft. To eliminate the malfunction, the activator is removed, and the shaft is cleaned of foreign objects.
A serious nuisance can be skew activator, in which, although he continues to spin, he strongly crumples and even tears the linen.
At the same time, the machine emits a strong hum and can periodically turn off. To solve the problem of misalignment, the activator is removed and the thread is cleaned, after which it is put back in place, controlling its position.
Leak repair
Leaks also occasionally occur while using the Babies and backfire. Leaking water can reach the electric motor and cause a short circuit and even electric shock. Therefore, if a leak is detected, you must immediately take measures to eliminate it, without ignoring the problem. You need to start by finding the leak: usually it turns out to be a flange assembly or a large o-ring. To do this, the machine is partially disassembled and the rubber is inspected for damage. If defects are found, the part is replaced with a new one.
If the large ring is in order, and the water continues to flow, then the casing is disassembled and the flange assembly is removed. Then it is disassembled and the rubber bushing and small spring ring are inspected, which sometimes does not compress the cuff too well. If necessary, replace it with a tighter one or bend it.
Pay attention to the small sealing ring, although it does not leak so often. Hose fittings can also leak. In this case, it is necessary to remove the worn element and install a new one.
Replacement of oil seals
The oil seal is located between the tank and the engine, and a leak may indicate the need to replace it. Usually, the stuffing box is changed along with the activator, since often its sleeve is literally torn apart by the thread into which the shaft is screwed. The new node is installed in place, then a test connection is made.
Mini-Vyatka appeared in my rented apartment, until that moment I had never used such units. Having studied the instructions that came with it and the advice of experienced “washers” from the Internet, I was able to wash bed linen and towels in it normally, and over time I got used to washing absolutely everything that could fit in it. Here I will share with you my experience and some secrets of successful washing.

Mini-Vyatka - a bowl with a motor
Mini-Vyatka belongs to the "Baby" class washing machines. It has a small weight and size, which allows you to move it not only within the apartment, but also beyond its threshold when moving. I myself raised it without any problems, and for men it definitely will not cause difficulties.
With the help of this element, the linen is spinning in the machine and washed. The twisting occurs in different directions, so the fabric is not damaged during washing.
As you can see from the photo, the machine consists of a plastic case and a stand. The body has a built-in motor, timer and other necessary parts for washing. The stand has ledges with which the machine can be placed directly on the sides of the bathroom. I haven't tried it myself and have always washed on the floor because I thought it was the safer option.
At the bottom of Vyatka is a hose for draining water. There is a second hose that can be put on the water tap and fill the machine. I didn't use it because it didn't fit the bathroom faucet.

Instructions on how to wash
Before washing, you need to understand that the baby washer is nothing more than a basin with a motor. She can twist the linen, washing it, but the rest is up to the person. The washing process is not difficult, but laborious, although it is easier and more efficient than washing the same amount of things by hand.
Where to put
During washing, Mini-Vyatka should stand on its stand. This will protect it from water, which inevitably appears on the floor due to splashes. I do not advise putting it on the bathroom, because it shakes when it works. High risk of falling.
Fully assembled stand. "Hooks" should hold the typewriter over the bath if you decide to put it there.
How much water
To start using the machine, you need to pour water into it. The water level should not reach the mark on the body by about 2 cm. If you pour more, it will splash and flood everything around. I poured water with an iron bucket, preheating it on gas. If you have hot water in your plumbing, you can pour it directly from the tap. The machine will fit 25 liters.
Watermark. It should be slightly lower than her (about 2 cm).
Choose your water temperature. Bed linen can be washed in very hot water, delicate items in lukewarm water. You can’t wash it in boiling water: the mechanism will heat up from it through thin plastic walls and deteriorate.
How much powder
For washing, you can use powder, gel or soap. Powder and gel must be dissolved in water before loading things. Their number should not be large. I had enough 50 ml of gel for washing, which consisted of 3 batches of laundry. The powder also needs literally 2 tbsp. l., otherwise you will not rinse later.
The fork of the washer is the most common.
If you decide to use soap, then soak things in water, and then generously lather each item with it.
How much laundry
The instructions say that the size of one load of dry laundry should not exceed 1.5 kg, the approximate weight of some types of things is also given there.
From the instructions: the approximate weight of some things.
I tried not to stuff the Mini-Vyatka to the eyeballs: it does not stretch well and overheats faster, twisting heavy linen:
- Bed linen I have 1.5 sleeping. The duvet cover was always washed alone. Sheet with pillowcases.
- Terry towels (50 × 70) fit 3-4 pieces at a time. Thin kitchen cabinets could be added to them, also in the amount of several pieces.
- Jeans were washed only by the piece.
- T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, leggings, panties, socks were grouped together by eye. For example, I could combine pants+socks, pants+leggings, panties+leggings+t-shirts.
- Windbreakers only alone.
- Only one coverlet 150 × 200 fit.
- The tulle and curtains from the windows were washed separately.
- I never washed a blanket, pillows, down jackets in Mini-Vyatka, because they are not included there in terms of volume.
What time is it
For one wash, I count on 3 batches of laundry. For example, first comes a pile of towels. I take them out and put a duvet cover on. After that comes the turn of the sheets and pillowcases. Each part is erased 3 times for 6 minutes (the maximum time that can be set on the timer). In total, it turns out 18 minutes per download. I tried to wash less time, but the quality of washing did not satisfy me.
Mechanical timer for 6 minutes.
When washing, you need to make sure that the "baby" does not overheat. Her side, where the mechanism is concentrated, becomes very hot, she begins to make a different noise and an unpleasant smell appears. To prevent this from happening, wait a few minutes before each winding of the timer. The machine will rest and you can wash further.
My washings have always been protracted. The wash itself took 1.5 hours. Then I would give the machine a break, pour it out, and fill it up again. Only after that did I start rinsing. The rinse lasted about the same as the first stage. In total, it took me 3 free time for each wash.
Washing
Between the timer plants, especially dirty items can be washed with soap. I did this with socks. The machine stops, I catch the necessary things in it, wash it, put it back and start the timer again. Thus, I achieved better washing of problematic things.
How to rinse
Laundered linen can be rinsed by hand in the bath, or directly in Vyatka. I chose the second option for myself. It takes more time, but less physical work.
The drain hose is attached directly to the machine. My plastic fastener broke, so I wrapped the hose with electrical tape.
To rinse in the machine, you need to change the water in it. Water is drained either through a hose or scooped out in a small vessel. I scooped out a liter bucket, and poured the rest into the toilet, raising and tilting the washer.
The first rinse is best done in warm water to wash the detergent out of the fabric. The rinsing process is similar to washing. You alternately lay batches of linen, set a timer for 2-3 minutes, wait, take it out, put the next one and again according to the same algorithm.
On all sides of the stand there are recesses for the elements of the machine, they must be combined with each other.
I needed to change the water in the machine 3 to 5 times to completely rinse out the gel. Although there were such situations that the water in the last rinse continued to foam. This happened while rinsing terry towels.
How to squeeze
Mini-Vyatka does not have a wringer, so all things are squeezed out by hand. I twisted the bed linen and towels during the spin cycle, and simply squeezed everything else on the sides so as not to disturb the structure of the fabric. It is laborious, but there is nothing you can do about it, you have to put up with it.
Model name and manufacturer. My machine was released in the late 90s.
After washing
At the end, the rinsed and wrung out laundry must be hung out to dry. Drain the water from the machine, rinse it, wipe it dry and put it in a corner without covering it with a lid. This will help it dry from the inside and not get moldy. As a rule, the floor also has to be wiped from splashed water. That's it, washing is over.
