One of the most common problems is the residue of laundry detergent or other detergent in the supply tray. Do a wash, take out the laundry, some of the powder remains in the tray. What is the reason?

 

When the cause can be found and eliminated independently

 

There may be several reasons, here and now we will focus only on the most common ones and consider how this trouble can be eliminated without applying for washing machine repair in Lviv.

 

• Use of poor quality powder. Despite the fact that it can be quite expensive and well-known brand, it can be produced in violation of technology. As a result, it may clump in the tray or not fully dissolve. You also need to pay attention to the expiration date.

 

• Dosage violation. Sometimes housewives do not look at how much powder is needed for a normal wash. If there is more than necessary, the smart washing machine will immediately detect this and will use only a limited amount. As a result, some of the detergent may not be used.

 

• Feed channel blocked. Often, washing powder is used without first cleaning the tray and detergent supply channel. As a result, powder residues can settle on the bottom and penetrate into the feed channel, clogging it. For this reason, it is recommended to clean the entire system of the detergent dispenser at least once every two months. This applies not only to the tray itself, but also to the detergent supply channel.

 

• The required water pressure is not available. The pressure in the water supply can sometimes change. If it decreases significantly, the water supplied to the washing machine may not have enough pressure to completely flush the detergent into the tub. It is simply impossible to increase the pressure in the water supply on your own, so it is better to stop washing and contact your management company for clarification. With normalization of pressure, washing can be extended.

 

• Inability to completely close the pressure valve. This often happens in Soviet-built apartments. The stopcock may rust and not open fully. As a result, the water pressure will be insufficient to completely wash off the washing powder. In this case, the shut-off valve can be repaired independently or invite locksmiths.

• Inlet hose failure. It may simply be pinched or twisted. Check its condition - this problem can be easily fixed by yourself.

 

• The strainer valve in the water supply system is clogged. Such a valve is usually used to filter incoming water. As a result, its cells can become clogged with debris, and excess calcium can also settle on them. The easiest way here is to rinse the strainer with strong pressure of hot water. You can also clean the cells manually, you must carry out this procedure at least once every six months.

 

• Washing was carried out in several stages. In this case, the washing machine can work for a long time. If you do not clean the detergent dispenser for several loads of laundry, it may become clogged and not completely dispense the powder loaded. This trouble can be eliminated simply - wipe the tray and clean the feed channel.
