With the onset of cold weather, every car enthusiast tries to create comfortable and warm conditions for staying in the cabin of his car, because I don't want to freeze anyone. But if the warm air does not do, it should be determined than it may be due to. In this article, we will consider repairing the control of Lada Kalina Lada.

How the stove works on Kalina

The principle of operation of the stove is a subtle-exhaust. Air masses in the car are warmed up using a special fluid, simultaneously cooling the engine.

The principle of the heater is that the liquid heats the radiator in which heat exchange occurs, and the heated air enters the interior by means of air ducts.

Lada Kalina Stove Device

• Side left stream output - 1.
• Left air duct - 2.
• Heated side glass - 3.
• Air splitter - 4.
• Stove - 5.
• Right ventilation air duct - 6.
• Side right output streams - 7.
• Air duct of lower heating - 8.
• Air duct heating salon - 9.
• Central output of ventilation flows - 10.

Where is the stove on Kalina

On Kalina, the stove switches are located on the central instrument panel. The heater control unit is located in the instrument panel console.

How does Kalina stove control

The stove control mechanisms are as follows:

• Controller control of air flow dispenser.
• Fan function regulator.
• Temperature regulator of the stove.
• Lever to switch the recycling flap.

The temperature regulator translates from the cold mode to hot and back. Air supply is controlled by a switch having four operating modes of the electric fan. The fan speed increases with the rotation of the handle to the right.

Tools, consumables, fixtures

For removal of the control unit, cruciform and spline screwdrivers will be required.

How to remove the control unit on Kalina

Order of work:

1. Open the hood and disconnect the minus terminal from the battery.
2. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the guide radio tape recorders from the installation location.
3. Disconnect the connectors and chips from the sled. You should sign the connections that you disconnect.
4. Remove the lever, controlling the air recycling flap. It is under the central handle regulating the speed of rotation of the fan.
5. Remove two handles: the right, distributing air supply, and the left, regulating the temperature of the incoming air.
6. Then remove two plugs that are on both sides of the emergency stop button.
7. Unscrew the two screws that fasten the lining from below and are under the plugs.
   
8. Slowly pull on the lining, freeing it from metal latches located at the top of the instrument panel overlay. Take the panel to the side.
9. Disconnect the connectors and chips that come from:
   - alarm buttons;
   - buttons including rear window heating;
   - enclosures of the lamps of the instrument panel;
   - the switching unit of the stove electric fan mode.
10. Make sure the stove block is available for removal.

How to find a malfunction

If cold air blows out of the stove and heat does not come, consider the main causes of such faults:

• Praying the stove switching regulator cable. Most likely, the reason for such a breakdown is the flying latch, due to which the cable in one direction stretches normally, but does not reach the other.
• The heater works only in the fourth speed. This is due to the failure of the thermistor.
  
• On Kalina, the stove switch is most often broken due to sharp inclusion, which often occurs as a result of not strong plastic.

How to repair the control of the stove of Kalina

The impossible or difficult switching of the temperature regulator can be due to the switch of the switch itself. Replacing the stove switch on Kalina is performed quite easily (provided that the dismantling operation of the stove control mechanism will already be completed). On the rear console of the control panel, unscrew the four fastening screws of the switch block. Remove the fixtures of the cables fastening and output the closures from the engagement with the drive device. Replace the broken switch. The assembly is performed in the reverse order. When performing these works, mark the marker location of the cables on the lever block. It is necessary in order to install traction correctly during the assembly.

The main causes of the breakdown of the stove temperature controller can be: a blast of a thermistor or a broken connection wire. Such malfunctions are eliminated by replacing the broken element and by soldering the wires. Also, the stove regulator can stop working due to the failure of the temperature sensor, which is quite rare. This sensor is located inside the ceiling in the car.

How to change the heater control unit

Order of work:

1. Remove the lining from the console.
2. We unscrew the four screws that secure the control unit to the instrument panel frame.
3. We dismantle the cable locks that are involved in the heater management.
4. Remove cables with drive mechanisms. Source the position of the cables on the block elements to install everything for previous places during the assembly. The hardest thing is to wear cables and fasten with a latch.
5. Remove the control unit with air conditioning.
6. We put a new block on the car.
7. We collect the elements of the node in the reverse order and put the lining of the instrument panel console.

Tips Prof.

Now it remains only to check the stove for performance. We start the car, check the work of the dampers in various positions and modes of the functioning of the fan of the stove. Next, warming up the motor to the operating temperature and make sure that the stove warms normally.
