Where to put powder in a Samsung washing machine

where to put powder in a washing machine SamsungHousehold appliances have become an integral part of our daily lives. It is not surprising, because vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, microwave ovens and many other appliances make our life much easier. Saving time and getting rid of routine daily activities could not help but fall in love with a person.

But at the same time, contemporaries, before using the technique in everyday life, it is necessary to study all the features and wisdom of working with it. Sometimes the hostess is simply afraid to harm the device if it is handled improperly. Samsung washing machine was no exception. Is it worth it to pour powder into the compartment of the tray, or maybe it is more effective right away in the drum? Which option is more economical for doing laundry? How to figure out which department to fill with powder, and which conditioner?

We identify the powder compartments

The solution to your questions is possible if you try to deal with the cells for loading detergents. Samsung washing machine is usually equipped with three sections of the powder receptacle. Each corresponds to a specific graphic designation for identification. Let's consider them in more detail:

  1. The department for detergents provided for the preliminary washing program is designated by symbols A or I. Although, if such a function is not programmed in a specific model of the CMA, then the cell is also not provided.
  2. For the main wash program with detergent, fill compartment B or II. Designation may vary by model.
  3. And the third compartment is for an air conditioner or rinse aid. It can be indicated by a symbol in the form of an asterisk or flower.
    each tray compartment is indicated by

Over time, using the washing machine, the characters are sometimes erased and it will be difficult to distinguish between them. Do not worry, there is an option to determine the purpose of the cells by their sizes:

  • the most voluminous compartment involves filling with a detergent for the main wash;
  • a medium-sized department is needed for the gel or powder, which will participate in the preliminary program;
  • pour the rinse liquid into the last small cell.

pour the powder into the largest compartment

In the event that “by eye” to determine the dimensions of the compartments did not work, there is another simple way. Launch the washing machine on any program that includes washing. See which compartment the water goes to first. This cell is intended for the main wash.

Where to pour and pour?

At first glance, such a simple and insignificant question. But remember, if detergents are poured into unintended dispenser cells, the washing result will not please you. In vain spent time and money, and even the laundry will need to be re-washed. So, before starting the washing process:

  • fill the cell marked with symbols A or I with the detergent that is intended for the preliminary program;
  • the substance for the main washing process is in the B / ll compartment;
  • and lastly, pour the softener or fabric softener into the smallest container. As indicated above, indicated by an asterisk or flower.

Means for rinsing clothes can be poured both before the machine starts, and in the process. The main condition is to fill the cell until the last rinse of the laundry.

You might want to use extra detergents to improve your washing experience. The bleach, stain remover or powder booster is poured into the B / ll compartment for the main program. In the same cell, protective compounds from scale are filled up. It is important to remember that the washing result can be disastrous if the compartment intended for rinsing is filled with bleach or stain remover.

Should I pour powder into the drum?

There are certain detergents that are placed immediately in the drum.Capsules filled with washing powder or gel. But some housewives, in order to save money, pour ordinary detergent compositions immediately into the Samsung washing machine, bypassing the dispenser cells. How effective is this method, we will try to find out. This option has a lot of advantages.

  1. Profitability, from the point of view of the used detergent. You can pour the powder as you wish.
  2. Rinse Efficiency. Firstly, the powder is washed off directly in the washing drum. Secondly, particles of detergent that linger in the dispenser compartment stick together and then attach to the laundry. In our case, this can not be afraid.
  3. If the compartment is broken, then you can use this option to add powder.
  4. Some capsules designed to be loaded directly into the drum combine several detergents. This, of course, simplifies the washing process.

Along with a certain list of advantages of adding powder to the tank, there are some disadvantages. They will have to be reckoned with, since the user cannot change anything.

  1. Water temperature should be above 40C. Otherwise, the detergent will not dissolve and the washing efficiency will be much worse. Usually, before you get into the drum, in the compartment, the powder is mixed with liquid.
  2. It is advisable to additionally purchase specially designed containers for powder. Otherwise, during the preliminary pumping of the liquid, most of the product will simply be washed.
  3. We have already discussed the case of a compartment breakdown. And, if the powder can still be filled directly, then the conditioner or rinse aid will not work. These liquids must be added immediately before rinsing.
  4. You can’t put aggressive detergents directly onto the laundry into the drum. Still not dissolved bleach or stain remover can spoil the color and quality of the fabric.
  5. If you want to use the preliminary program, it is possible to add powder only through the powder receptacle compartment.

As you can see, there are both positive and negative points in adding detergents directly to the drum. But we cannot say that some of them forbid us to use such an option. Therefore, when choosing a method, focus on our recommendations. And let household appliances always be your assistant.
