The pledge of clean and fresh linen is not only a powerful washing machine, but also a quality detergent. A good washing powder allows us to keep things in perfect condition and, moreover, does not harm the internal device of the washing machine.
Sometimes mistresses face such a problem: after washing from the drum, they take out a wet, squeezed, but completely untouched laundry with remaining stains and an unpleasant smell. The reason for this is quickly detected: just open the dishwasher feeder and you will see that the detergents have remained intact.
For what to do, if such a trouble has occurred with your washing machine, read in today's article.
How should the process occur?
To load detergent and air conditioning there is a special container, consisting of several compartments, each of which is used at a certain stage - with soaking, washing, or rinsing. To each of the compartments is put a hose of the fill valve, through which water enters and "takes" the remedy. Further, through the hose, the powder enters the tank.
Features of this system depend on the model of the washing machine. Older devices are equipped with only one priming valve, which alternately directs a jet of water to each of the compartments. Modern units operating under the electronic module are equipped with several such valves, each of which supplies water to its compartment.
Most often, the washing agents remain in the feeder, the faulty drain valve is to blame. Read more about the different types of breakdowns below.
Should the powder completely wash out?
If you have correctly calculated the dosage( recommendations are usually indicated in the operating instructions of the washing machine), ideally the powder should disappear from the feeder to the end of the wash, except for a small amount of the tool that can be clogged into the corner of the container.
The powder can stay in the feeder if you have poured it considerably more than it was required for this washing mode. In addition, poorly washed out of the feeder substandard detergents, which slowly dissolve in water. If you notice that the powder gets lost in the lumps and sticks to the walls of the container, most likely, the reason is precisely this.
Thus, before disassembling the washing machine in search of a faulty part, make sure that it is not the excess quantity or improper quality of the detergent.
