How to get things. Device for extracting fallen objects behind the cabinet. How foreign objects get into the washing machine

Even the most careful and careful people have unlucky days when everything literally falls out of hand. In such unlucky life moments, troubles occur to us in the form of the disappearance of some very valuable small object in the bowels of the sewer. Most often this happens with women. jewelry(not fastened with an earring, a ring or an accidentally unfastened chain). If such a nuisance happens before your eyes, try not to panic and remember the tips on how to get an item that fell into the sewers, detailed in this article.

So, if your wedding ring suddenly slipped off your finger while washing dishes and disappeared into the sewer pipe of the kitchen sink, immediately take emergency measures to remove it, following the steps below.

Method one - using a vacuum cleaner:

1. First of all, close the tap so that under the pressure of water your ring does not become inaccessible, continuing the journey through the sewer system.

2. In no case do not use the sink until the ring is removed from the darkness back into the white light.

3. If the decoration you dropped was not carried away by the stream of water too far into the sewer depths, then you can try to get it with a home vacuum cleaner: - quickly plug the plug of the vacuum cleaner into the outlet;

Remove the nozzle from the hose; - if the design of your vacuum cleaner involves a dry cleaning method, then first use a syringe bulb to remove the remaining water from the drain;

Then, as tightly as possible, press the hose hole to the kitchen sink hole; - firmly fixing the hose, turn on the vacuum cleaner for a minute; after the specified time, turn off the vacuum cleaner;

And start looking for your ring in a dust bag. If you are unlucky, you will have to use another method of extraction, however, it is less pleasant and more laborious.

The second way is to disassemble the siphon:

Its essence is to get the precious loss from the siphon.

1. First, check for its presence in the sewer pipe of the kitchen sink. Usually the cleaning hatch is attached under the sink at the bend of the sewer pipe. For the most part, all small objects that float down the drain with water settle in this place.

2. If a cleaning hatch is found, proceed with the procedure for removing the slipped ring from it using the available tools at home.

3. But before you start opening the siphon, place an empty bucket under it with an old towel previously inserted into it. Such foresight is necessary in order to prevent the water in the siphon from spilling onto the floor.

4. If the bucket is in the right place, open the cleaning hatch and see how quickly all its contents (small items and water) will be in the bucket placed in advance.

5. Carefully inspect all items on the towel. You might be lucky this time.

6. If there is no ring on the towel, do not give up. Using a thin stick, examine the inside of the pipe. It may turn out that your loss is stuck inside it.

If you still haven’t found the ring, then you can’t get anywhere, you have to disassemble sewer pipe.

Method three - inspect the "sewer pipes"

1. Look for a large adjustable (water) wrench among the tools available at home, and at the same time prepare two buckets.

2. Place one of the two buckets directly under the elbow of the pipe so that water flows into it.

3. With a wrench, carefully loosen the existing fasteners of the siphon pipe elbow.

4. Carefully remove the knee.

5. Extract all its contents into the second bucket.

6. If there is still no ring in the bucket, carefully examine the inner walls of the siphon elbow, since a lot of dirt usually accumulates on its walls, to which the decoration could stick.

The result of such a thorough search can be only one - the ring is found. With what we congratulate you!

It will be much easier if you just call a plumber from the housing department.

The washing machine is made up of different parts that move and make sounds. But sometimes among them there are incorrect extraneous noises, such as clanging and tapping. If during washing you hear a loud crack or rattle inside the tank, then most likely in the drum washing machine got a bone from the bra.

Frame bone for a bra: what is it made of and what harm does it do

At first glance, if you compare the size of the machine and linen accessories, it will seem that it is unlikely to be able to harm. But it's not the size, but the material from which the bone is made.

Most often, frames or bones for linen are made of metal or coated steel.

Getting stuck in the tank of the machine, such corset parts begin to rust, stain water and washable items, and can tear clothes. And that's the lightest of the troubles. Much worse is that a sharp metal bone can easily pierce the tank of the washing machine, damage the coating of the heating element, break the cuff or drain pipe.

If the fittings are made of plastic, then it is less destructive.

Although, when the plastic bone fell deep into the washing machine, she can do things too. For example, pierce the same drain pipe or slip into the pump and disable it.

Where to look for a bone from a bra

An uninvited guest, getting into the washer, falls through and gets stuck in different places:

• in drum perforation;
• at the bottom of the tank (the most common case): under the heating element or between the bends of the heater tube;
• in the space between the drum and the tank (top, side, rear);
• in the drain pipe, filter or pump (very rarely).

Depending on the place where the bone from the bra ended up, you can get it in five ways.

Attention! Before you start dismantling the washing machine, disconnect it from the mains! Follow the safety precautions, this will save you from injury and electric shock.

The first way is how to remove the bone from the washing machine through the drum

It can be used if the bone has just begun to fall through and sticks out with its tip out of the perforation of the drum.

To find the part, examine the drum from the inside over the entire surface with your hand. It is very difficult to discern fine fittings in shiny metal, but it is easily detected by touch.

Hook the tip of the bone with tweezers, narrow-nosed pliers or wire and pull it out.

The second way - we take out the bone through the heating element

Attention! This method is suitable for horizontal washing machines with a rear heating element, when the heat element is located below the tank.

You felt the drum and found nothing sticking out. This means that the accessories that “escaped” from the linen have already slipped into the tank. From the experience of repair, the craftsmen know that when the bone from the bra falls into the washing machine, then most often, it falls to the bottom of the tank and gets stuck in the TEN area. And you can get it by pulling the heating element out of the washer tank. In fact, you need to remove the heating element, find and pull out the bone, and then put the heater back in place.

For this:

• Remove the back cover from the machine.
• Turn off the power to the heating element, remove the terminals from the contacts. Usually three wires are suitable for the heater: phase, zero and ground. Phase and zero have a terminal contact, grounding can be fixed with a nut on the central stud.
• Loosen the fixing nut on the stud. You will see it when you remove the ground. Loosen the nut so that it lines up with the end of the stud (you don't need to remove it at all).
• Gently press the stud inside the heating element so that it “drowns” to the nut.
• Move the heating element and remove it from the nest (sometimes you need to make serious efforts).

Attention! Do not swing the heating element by the contacts or pry with a screwdriver. You will damage the contact pins or the sealing collar.

In half the cases, the bone is removed along with the heating element, because it gets stuck in the loop of the heater tube. In other cases, it is found at the bottom of the tank under the installation site. Often, instead of one fitting, there are two, or even three.

Housewives do not always associate the loss of the frame from the cup with the washer, and the bone can slip into the tank without noises and knocks, without showing signs of its presence. Therefore, it is located only when disassembling the heater, for the company with a “noisy girlfriend”.

Inspect the heater carefully for damage. Sometimes a metal strip breaks the heater very hard, literally into pieces.

But more often it leaves small dents or scratches on the tube, which are hardly noticeable. And the owners of the machine put the damaged element in the tank, and then they are forced to carry out a serious repair of equipment due to a heater breakdown, electrical short circuit and other surprises. Therefore, it is more reliable to immediately change even a slightly rumpled heating element.

When the bone is pulled out, and the heater is normal, you can put it in place.

The procedure will be the reverse of disassembly:

• Slide the center stud outward by pushing on the inner retaining plate.
• Insert the heating element into the hole, gently pressing the cuff.
• Screw the fixing nut onto the stud. Do not tighten it all the way, you will pass the seal and it will leak water from the tank. It is better to twist a little looser, and then tighten if necessary if moisture appears in the hole. But, as a rule, the seal seals the tank so well and additional twisting of the nut is not needed.
• Connect the power to the heater.
• Plug the machine in and run a test wash without replacing the back cover. To check if there is any leakage from the tank through the heater socket.

Attention! Be careful and don't touch internal parts machines with the lid removed during washing.

If everything is in order, there is no leak, fix the lid, having previously disconnected the washer from the mains.

The third way is how to get the bone through the drain pipe

This method can be used if you do not want to remove the heating element or when it is located under the front cover, for example, in Samsung typewriters. Disassembly of such a model causes difficulties for the owners of equipment - it is necessary to remove the cover, cuff, front panel, etc. to get to the heater. Therefore, it is easier to remove the mounting clamp and look into the tank through the pipe.

Procedure for washing machines without leakage protection will be like this:

• Lay the washing machine on its side.
• We remove the bottom, if there is one: unscrew the fasteners or snap off the latches.
• We loosen the fasteners on the pipe (clamp or ring) and remove it from the tank ledge.
• We examine the drain hole and the visible part of the heating element and the tank. We take out the bone from the bra. Sometimes it falls out of the pipe itself, but more often you need to look for accessories by shining a light into the hole.

After removing the foreign object from the tank, install the nozzle in place, fix it with a clamp, fix the bottom, turn the machine over to its normal position.

If you are a happy owner of a washing machine with an Aquastop system to protect the body from leaks, then we recommend getting to the drain pipe through the back wall. In this case, of course, it will not be possible to look into the opening of the tank, on which the pipe is put on, you will have to act by touch, but removing the bottom, where Aquastop is installed, is another task, even for the master. After all, you first need to dismantle the leak protection system, and for this you need to disassemble the half-machine.

The described method can help you get a bra bone out of a washing machine with a front heating element without much disassembly, but it does not always work. The drain hole where the pipe is attached is quite narrow. If the bone does not lie directly above it, but strongly to the side, higher or lower, it is difficult to see it and, moreover, to pick it up. In addition, if it is problematic to remove the bottom of the machine (for SMAs with body protection against leaks), then the possibilities of the search operation are reduced even more: it is inconvenient to crawl up to the tank from below, you have to feel for the bone, as far as your fingers can reach, etc.

The fourth way - how to pull out the bone if it is stuck on the top, side or got behind the cross of the tank

There are rare situations when a bone from a bra gets stuck in the tank somewhere on top, on the side, or flies over the crosspiece. Then all the previous extraction methods will not work, and in order to pull it out, you need to disassemble the tank. The device of the tank varies significantly between brands and models. You can find a diagram, but we do not recommend disassembling it yourself if you have never done this.

There are many nuances that only an experienced master knows about. In addition, some machines have a non-separable tank.

Therefore, as an alternative, a method is suitable that allows you to free the stuck fittings and drop them to the bottom of the tank, from where it can be easily reached through the heater or pipe.

What you need to do:

• Unscrew the back cover.
• Remove the belt from the pulley so that it does not interfere.
• Dismantle the tank pulley, to do this, unscrew the fixing bolt and remove the pulley. Then screw the bolt into the hole about half way.
• Take a hammer with a rubber cap or an ordinary light one and a wooden chock. Gently tap on the drum shaft so that it shifts slightly relative to the axis.
• Rotate the drum with your hand until you hear that the stone has fallen to the bottom of the tank.

Now it can be pulled out in the second or third way.

The fifth way - we take out the bone from the drain system

It happens that the bone safely slips through the tank with a heating element and ends up in the drain system of the machine - in the pipe, filter and even the pump. We are mainly talking about plastic fittings for women's corsetry. It, unlike metal, is not so rigid and easily breaks in the drum without causing significant harm to the details of the washing machine. That's why it "flies" so far.

Bone in the filter

First, check the filter. It is usually located in the lower left corner in front of the car behind a special hatch.

To clean the filter and possibly remove the pit:

• Open hatch. It is fixed with a latch, so you need to press the cover or gently pry it with a screwdriver.
• Slip a dry rag under the washing machine near the filter or tilt the CMA back against the wall and place a container so that residual water does not spill onto the floor.
• Unscrew the filter and pull it out of the hole.

• Inspect the filter and the hole, the bone can be both there and there. At the same time, remove any other small debris that has fallen into the machine. Wipe the filter installation hole and rinse it with running water.

If the bone is found, then everything is in order. If not, look immediately into the pump (in the case when it is right behind the filter in front). You may see a piece of plastic sticking out and be able to get it out.

Bone in the tube

If nothing sticks out of the pump, and the machine drains water normally, then most likely the bone is stuck in the pipe. You can get it from there.

But first you need to replace the filter and close the hatch. Tighten the filter carefully and at the same time tightly so that the machine does not leak when washing.

Bone in the pump

The first sign that the "uninvited guest" was in the pump is that the machine either does not pump water out of the tank, or drains it badly. The pump can make a lot of noise and rattle. This is not good, but if the pump crackles and stops completely, it's even worse. Silence indicates that the engine has burned out and the pump will have to be changed. Therefore, try to deal with the situation while the pump is still alive and making a lot of noise.

To pull out a foreign object you need to get to the pump and open it.

In different brands of washing machines, the pump is located differently. And there are different ways to get to it.

• In most cars of the brands Ariston, Ardo, Veko, Indesit, Samsung, Candy, Whirpool, LG, the pump is at the bottom behind the filter. Therefore, you can first inspect the pump through it. For full access, it is best to lay the machine on its side and carry out all operations through the bottom.
• In the Electrolux and Zanussi brands, the way to the pump is through the removal of the back panel, because the pump is closer to it.

• In the "Germans" (AEG, Bosch, Siemens) the most difficult way. You need to remove the top cover and front panel, as well as pull out the dispenser, remove the fixation of the hatch cuff and disable the door lock.

Attention! We recommend contacting specialists immediately if you have German technology. Since disassembly and assembly in these brands is complex and requires experience and accuracy. You can damage the machine by doing it yourself

Pump disassembly

The design of the pump is practically the same. To inspect the "insides", you need:

• Prepare a container for water or a rag. When you disconnect the pump, water will pour out of it. To prevent the puddle from being on the floor, carry out the disassembly steps over the basin or place a rag.
• Disconnect the pump from power. To do this, you will need to unplug the connector.
• Remove the screws that secure the pump to the case.
• Disconnect the drain hose on one side and the pipe on the other, loosening the clamps.
• Disassemble the pump. To do this, you need to unscrew the snail from the body and pull the engine and impeller out of it.

Now inspect the pump from the inside. The bone can be located between the impeller blades or be pressed against the casing. Pull it out and inspect the impeller itself for damage. If there are any, then you will have to change the pump (the impellers are not sold separately). Even with a “live” engine, a pump with a broken impeller will not drain water.

Rarely, but it happens that the bone did not have time to disable the pump, but simply slowed down its rotation. Then you are lucky and after removing the "alien" you can assemble the pump and put it in place.

Check the pump for leaks before assembling the machine completely, plug it in and put it on a quick wash.

Be careful! Do not touch the inside of a working washer that is not fully assembled.

The bone from the bra fell into the washing machine and lies quietly - get it out or leave it there

Sometimes the bone obviously disappeared in the car, the hostess pulled out her bra and noticed. But at the same time, the washing machine does not make noise, does not tear things and works like a clock. What to do in this case, do you need to look for and pull out or leave the “alien” inside?

Theoretically, you can leave it, but the craftsmen find deposits of bones in the machines during disassembly due to other malfunctions. But remember that even the fittings lying quietly in the tank are a foreign object that should not be there.

A metal or plastic bone at the bottom will eventually become overgrown with dirt (fur, dust from clothes, threads), which will smell unpleasant and you will have to think.

In addition, metal lying in a damp place and constantly getting wet during washing / rinsing will begin to rust and stain the water in the tank, and it will contaminate things. Removing rust stains from linen is very difficult, and sometimes even impossible. That is, the damaged item will have to be thrown away.

A plastic bone is also dangerous because when it comes into contact with a heating element, it begins to melt from heating and smell like burning. This, in the end, can lead to a breakdown of the heating element.

Masters recommend! If the bone is stuck inwashing machine, then remove it as soon as possible. For example, after 1-2 washings. Otherwise, you may be waiting big problems because of the extra detail.

What is the danger of getting a bone into the drum

Smell, dirt, rust on clothes, torn things - these are minor troubles, compared to what a bone from a bra that has fallen into the washing machine can do.

We already talked about serious problems when we figured out what kind of object it was - a bone from a bra. Now let's take a closer look at them.

Linen accessories in the washing machine:

• Deforms the drum and damages (pierces) the tank. A sharp metal plate breaks the cells of the drum or flies into the tank wall like a bullet, making a hole. As a result, you have to change the tank or even buy a new washing machine.
• Destroys the heating element or damages its surface resulting in damage to the heating element. When a metal bone gets stuck with one end in the perforation, and the other end gets on the heating element, it cuts the heater tube like a knife. If the fittings fall into the hinge, it breaks the heat element into pieces. In the end it has to.
• Tearing the cuff of the tank and arranges a leak. As a result, you need to glue your own cuff or.
• Pierces drain pipe. If the bone gets into the drain hole, it can pierce the rubber pipe with a sharp end. It is difficult and unreliable to seal holes in it, therefore it is impossible and has to be changed.
• Damages or disables the pump. Most often, plastic bones slip into the pump, they break quite easily into pieces, falling into the drum. Once in the pump, bone fragments can damage or jam the pump blades. In the case of a “wedge”, the pump will buzz hard, but will not pump water. If the obstacle is not removed in time, the engine of the assembly will burn out and have to.

What to do if another foreign object gets into the washing machine

A bra bone in the washing machine is not the only "intruder". During inspections, the craftsmen find coins (even commemorative ones!), buttons, pins, curtain fittings, Lego parts, bolts, screws, nails and other small things. The size of this "good" is smaller than that of the bone and they are less likely to linger in the perforation of the drum or at the bottom of the tank.

Their favorite habitats are:

• Cuff at the door hatch."Crawling small fry" is easily clogged into a crease and stays there.
• Drain pipe. In it remains a metal trifle, screws, nails.
• Drain filter. There may be a warehouse of coins, and nuts with screws, and plastic small things. Everything that slipped through the pipe, but did not have time or could not fly into the pump.

• Water pump. Light plastic parts are brought there, such as parts of a children's designer, matches, small accessories, buttons.
• Drain hose. Matches, small pins, plastic dowels fly there through the pump.

Since the dimensions of this "good" are small, they usually do not cause significant harm, such as a breakdown of the heating element or damage to the tank. But, for example, a nail or a self-tapping screw is quite capable of damaging the heating tube and turning the perforation of the drum, or even making a hole in the tank. And it's easy to break the pump or make a blockage.

Therefore, with extraneous noise in the typewriter, crackling of the pump and other strange sounds, it is worth looking for extraneous "guests" in the insides of the washer. If it is difficult to handle it yourself, call a repair specialist.

Miscellaneous objects get stuck in the throat in people much more often than you can imagine: food, bone, small parts from the designer in the case of a child ... This can lead to suffocation. What to do in a situation where such an unexpected accident has occurred? A scientist named Heimlich discovered a simple course of action that will save you and your loved ones from danger.

How to deal with suffocation

1. Assess how serious the case is. How overlapped Airways? It is very good if the affected person coughs. With the help of coughing, the body defends itself against foreign objects, trying to push them out. If there is a cough, the airways are not completely blocked. Ask the casualty to cough until you see the stuck object, then pull it out with your index finger and thumb.

   Care must be taken to ensure that the object does not completely block the airways. If you are dealing with a child under one year old, it is very good if he cries and coughs.

   It also happens that a foreign part completely closes the airways, it is easy to determine - the victim does not make any sounds, but is conscious. In this case, you should immediately resort to the Heimlich maneuver.

2. Remember: Heimlich maneuver should be applied only if the victim is over a year old and cannot cough, speak, scream and, accordingly, breathe. If help is not provided in time, the person will lose consciousness. The main thing is to do everything quickly and not to panic.

   It's not hard at all:

   • Stand behind the victim, if you are right-handed - a little to the left, if you are left-handed - a little to the right.
   • Hold it firmly under the breast and tilt it slightly forward so that the object stuck in the throat moves outward, not further inward.
   • Gently but firmly strike the casualty between the shoulder blades with the top of the wrist.
   • Check if the object has come out. If not, strike again, and repeat this up to five times.

   If there is no effect from the blows and the victim is still unable to breathe, make a fist and place it between his navel and ribs. Put your other hand on top and push several times until the stuck object comes out. Please note that this technique can not be done with pregnant women, children under one year old and people who are noticeably overweight.

   If breathing is not restored, call an ambulance. Do not leave the victim alone and continue to apply the Heimlich maneuver until the arrival of the doctors.

3. Child under one year old who choked is a special case. If the baby is not coughing or crying, place the baby mouth down along your forearm or thigh so that your head has something to rest on.

   Gently hit him five times on the back with the top of your wrist. After that, carefully examine the child's mouth and remove the object if you notice it there. Never try to get a stuck object by sticking your fingers into the victim's mouth! He can slip in deeper and this will worsen the situation.

Small extraneous little things often get into the tank of the machine and get stuck there. The hit of a harmless thing can cause a serious malfunction of the equipment, and in some cases - a breakdown of the AGR. So it's important to know how to get the item out of the washing machine drum. Most often, things like this get inside:

soft and small sizes (socks, tights, handkerchiefs, gloves, etc.) - they often wrap around the tank shaft, get stuck between the parts, it can be difficult to remove them, and in order to remove them, it may even be necessary to partially disassemble the equipment;

hard, very small (buttons, little things from pockets, hooks and bones of underwear, small contents of clothing pockets, etc.) - as a rule, such little things settle to the bottom, and pulling them out is much easier, but not in all cases.

During operation of the machine, foreign objects can severely damage important details equipment, causing serious damage. So if you hear an uncharacteristic sound while your equipment is running, then this is a sign that there is a foreign object inside the washing machine. The machine must be immediately turned off, and the stuck small piece must be removed.

What are the most common places for small objects to get stuck?

The contents of the pockets and other little things usually settle at the bottom of the tank, get stuck between them or are wound on the shaft in several layers. To determine exactly where the foreign body is and remove the object from the drum of the washing machine, you can slowly scroll it and shine a flashlight into the holes behind the wall of the tank.

If visually you still could not determine where the change is, then most likely it got stuck somewhere between the details and did not have time to reach the bottom of the tank. In this case, the machine will have to be disassembled.

How to get an item out of the washing machine?

There is the easiest and most effective way to get a foreign object out of the washing machine. To do this, it is necessary to pull out the heater, and also unscrew the pulley mounting bolt (but not completely). This will allow you to slightly shift the position of the tank and, by tapping in an inclined position, remove the stuck part (through the hole for the heating element).

Experts do not recommend disassembling the SMA design on their own when an object has fallen under the drum of the washing machine. It is better to contact our experienced craftsmen in Moscow. We quickly and without damage take out from the tank of the machine any little things that can cause it to break.

Often a foreign object ends up in the drum of an automatic washing machine. If it spins there with clothes, then this does not pose a danger to the typewriter. Another thing is if it is stuck in the tank - in this case, you need to undertake a campaign to remove the item so that the washing machine does not fail prematurely.

How to get a foreign object out of the washing machine without the help of a specialist, we will describe below.

How foreign objects get into the washing machine

To get an item that is stuck in the tank, you need to understand how it got there:

1. Usually small things fall into the drum from pockets if you forget to check them.
2. Also, poorly sewn buttons and other decor can come off clothes.
3. Paper, coins, chains, lighters, flash drives often remain in pockets. Sometimes users even forget to take out their phone. These items usually stay in the tank, some goes into the drain system and ends up in the drain filter.
4. The greatest danger is the bone from the bra. This element of the bra is thin and flexible, so it easily gets under the drum through the holes and stays there, creating noise and grinding.
5. Large debris and small items such as a sock or handkerchief are unlikely to fall into the tank, but they can be pinched rubber cuff- and with too intensive washing, they will also go inside the tank.
6. Small things can go down into the tank through the detergent intake.

Important! Often the reason that a foreign object is stuck in the CMA is a large gap between the tank body and the drum.

Everything that fell into the tank goes this way:

• sinks to the very bottom of the tank;
• gets stuck in the tank;
• can wrap around the shaft.

How to get an item out of the washing machine

If everything happens in the first minutes of washing, then just cancel the mode:

• hold the start (or pause) key to stop the cycle;
• hold the start button again for 5 seconds;
• wait until the pump has pumped out all the water, after which the SM will turn off, and you can get the forgotten thing.

On a note:

• In vertical machines, it is enough to press a pause, open the hatch and remove the excess without draining the water - this is convenient and saves time and resources.
• In some models of automatic machines, the water does not drain automatically, so manual draining is required. To do this, use an emergency drain (a small hose near the drain filter or the filter itself if there is no hose). Until you drain the water, the hatch will not open.

If stuck in the tank

Getting a thing that has already managed to get into the tank is somewhat more difficult. But you still need to get it. Even soft objects, such as a sock or a nylon stocking, can seriously damage the machine by wrapping around the pump or shaft. You can remove a foreign body through:

• "garbage" filter;
• groove for the heater.

If the object is small, then it will fall into the filter through the drain pipe and to remove it, just unscrew the filter element and remove the object.

And if the object has sunk to the bottom of the tank, you can take it out through the hole for the thermoelectric heater. The bones of the bra can get under the heating element and stay there: then you will not hear them. If they knock, then they are stuck between the heater tubes.

Very rarely, a bone can get into the opening of the drum, but not fall out into the tank. Gently feel the drum from the inside with your hand, it may be enough to pull it out of the hole.

To decide which side to start disassembling the SMA, you need to know where the heating element is located in your model. In the vast majority of brands, the heater is located at the back, and in the minority (Bosch, Siemens, AEG), in order to get the heater, you need to remove the front panel.

If you cannot decide where the part is located, inspect the back wall - if the service hatch is of impressive size, then the heater is right there.
