Powder remains in the washing machine after washing - what to do

Did you start the wash as usual, but when the machine did the washing, you discovered that there was powder left in the washing machine and it did not wash it off? We are sure that you know where to put the powder in the washing machine. The same situation can be with the air conditioner, which can also remain in the tray after washing. This can happen in a number of cases, we will analyze them now.

Usually, the powder or conditioner is still washed off by the washing machine, that is, when you look into the tray, you will see that it is wet and the powder is also all wet. If everything was fine with you before and this happened for the first time, then you should not worry too much, because the reason may not even be in the washing machine. To fully understand the problem, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the principle washing machine powder intake.

Matter of powder

The first thing you should pay attention to is the washing powder itself. If you have previously used a different brand, and now you have filled in a new one and you have this problem, then the reason may be the poor-quality composition of the powder or a fake. In order to exclude the powder from the “list of suspects”, wash with the old detergent, if the problem disappears, then everything is clear.

Also, the situation when after washing the powder remains in the washing machine may arise due to the fact that you poured too much of it into the tray. If there is too much powder, it may not wash out completely.Try reducing the amount of detergent and wash again, and read the recommendations on how to how much washing powder to put in the machinenot to overdo it.

Water supply problems

Another reason for this failure could be weak water pressure. In order to verify this, open the mixer tap and see how the water flows. If the pressure is weak, then it may not be enough to completely wash off the powder during washing, and it will remain in the tray. If the pressure is really bad, then you need to contact the housing office service to find out the reasons from them.

If the pressure in the tap is good, then the second thing to check is Is the water supply tap to the washing machine fully open?, this faucet is installed at the junction of the hose of the washing machine and the water supply. It must be turned along the direction of the water flow.

If the pressure is good, and the tap is open all the way, but the problem is present, then the next reason may be clogged inlet filter. This filter is a fine mesh that is inserted into the inlet valve from the side of the hose.

To clean it, unscrew inlet hose and with the help of pliers, pull out the mesh and rinse it under the pressure of water. Then put everything back in place and do a test wash.

Water supply valve malfunction, can cause not only the fact that the powder remains in the washing machine tray, but also the fact that water does not enter the washing machine generally. This valve opens when water should flow into the machine and closes when the machine has already filled with water. If it is broken, then water may not flow at all or only partially flow, which causes this malfunction.

Blockage in pipes

In addition to all the above causes of a malfunction, there may also be such, although they are much less common:
Either the hoses connecting the water supply valve to the powder container are clogged, or the nozzles themselves in the powder container are clogged.This is extremely rare, but it can happen, especially in cases where you do not have a strainer on the intake valve. Large particles get inside and can accumulate in nozzles or thin hoses.

The drain pipe of the solution in the tank of the machine is clogged, usually, when it is he who is clogged, then after washing in the washing machine water remains in the compartment for the conditioner or powder, or water pours out of the tray when water is collected.

In order to clean it, you will need to remove the front wall of the washer, loosen the clamp, remove it and clean it.

If this happens regularly, then most likely the problem is something else, which causes this blockage regularly. This is either a poor quality powder or the water is not flowing well into the powder container for any of the above reasons.

Comments

In my washing machine, the powder tank has become rough and the powder solidifies at the bottom of this.
You will have to remove the tank and sand it.

thanks for the information, the blockage turned out to be on the last knee, it’s a little different, it’s just that after your information I climbed more boldly, and then, a little thinking and naturally straight hands always help
