How to repair the fixture with his hands

    inspecting the circuit and spending some audit work in the panel, switch, try to figure out how to repair itself chandelier.

example, trёhrozhkovy option chandelier with crystal elements.Before repaired chandelier, prepare: a thin screwdriver with Phillips tip, the second need a flat, tester, insulation tape, a soldering iron with a set where rosin and tin is present.A small piece of sandpaper, knife.Driving trёhrozhkovoy chandeliers also does not hurt during the repair.Repair cartridge chandeliers better to start with the place where the light bulbs screwed.

cartridge consists of several parts:.

  1. tube with a thread of 40 mm, which is screwed into the lighting element.

    electric cartridge contacts

    loose socket

  2. Porcelain insert with the contact group.
  3. housing with a seat within the group and externally threaded to the tube.

repair chandeliers with their hands is logical to start with them, which often occurs scorching contacts with caps loose contact with the contact group.Repair chandeliers cartridge is carried out in two stages, first remove all the decorations of crystal, twisting the lamp, and then begin a cartridge repair.

Let us examine everything to screw:

  • Troubleshooting cartridge is easy to hold.Unscrew the top of the cartridge with a thread for the lamps.Do it all at once on the horns chandeliers.Remove decorations from crystal.
  • Look integrity of all the threads if there are any points of a short circuit.If there is a fix with the help of a fine (200 grit) sandpaper.
  • Inspect the cartridge contact group consisting of antennae.The presence of soot, remove the knife, sandpaper, if any.

    Check the quality of the contact group

  • Having hooked a screw-driver with a flat end of the ceramic sleeve, remove it from the cartridge housing.If it is disassembled.Check wires, they must be tightened with screws to the back of ceramic.Dark color contacts or screws, said that contact was weak, tighten the screws holding the wires.Now you can collect.
  • Enable automatic switch, switch.Take the light, put on the test voltage (220 V), check the electricity supply "phase" and "zero", referring to contacts within the cartridge, thread and mustache.The indicator will show whether there is electricity.With rounds finished, and you receive electricity indicator react.If not, go to the junction box chandeliers or her control.

Check wiring diagram

simple lighting device does not require much expertise, is another matter repair chandeliers with manual control.In the usual scheme trёhrozhkovoy chandeliers you will have three wires at the outlet of the ceiling.Two wires phase, one blue zero.

To begin with, deal with wires.No Does the cliff line.Make it

simple.The scheme works as before.Check the contacts in the group, on the board, if it exists, or twisting, exposing the wires.Determine which wires go to the specific lamps.Insulating tape must be removed at the same time.There is a break of contact, eliminate, spend isolation.Everything should work. Do not forget to turn off the electricity supply when working with a soldering iron.

Repair with control chandeliers require a bit more time.Turning off the power supply.Check the wires, whether they are safe.Before repaired chandelier with remote control, you must check two wires, remaining on the site of the old rocker switch, sometimes the connection is oxidized.Then take a soldering iron, tin and rosin propaivaem contact.

switch can leave the old place, when it will be switched on.It all depends on the type of the remote device.To repair chandelier with remote control requires one tester and screwdriver.Sometimes repair crystal chandelier, it is necessary to remove itself completely.We need access to the controller.

Using the attached diagram indicating the location of the contacts, conduct a thorough inspection of the regulator.Most manufacturers specify the network wiring scheme and connect directly to the Controller chandeliers.In case of failure and try to eliminate the chain to connect.Should everything work, the possible failure of the circuit board, to the block we have eliminated.
