Overly complex disassembly and reassembly for appliance cleaning

Users repeatedly search for clips, tools and component locations while cleaning.

Research area: Smart home and household appliancesProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Observe cleaning tasks and distinguish user-serviceable work from professional maintenance.
  2. Optimize removable component identification, extraction paths, and reset prompts.
  3. Conduct cleaning and reassembly exercises with actual tools.

Key Deliverables

  • Cleaning workflow
  • Disassembly models
  • Reassembly instructions

Verification Approach

Compare disassembly steps, component misplacement, and missed cleaning areas.
