What if there is a lot of foam in the washing machine?

When we start the washing with a washing machine, we usually go to another room to do our personal things. Few people observe the entire cycle of washing, rinsing and spinning, with the exception, perhaps, of small children and cats. And now imagine a picture, after a while you come to the washing machine, and foam creeps out of it. Foamy clouds are everywhere: around the body of the washing machine, in the drum and even already on the floor. What to do in such a situation, and what is the reason for this phenomenon, we will discuss in the framework of this publication.

The reasons for this phenomenon

If you saw that your washing machine was covered with clubs of foam, then there is no reason to talk about the reasons. It is necessary to immediately disconnect the "home assistant" from the network so that the electrician or electronics do not short circuit, if this happens, then an expensive repair of the machine will be provided. By switching off the washing machine, remove the foam from the control panel by carefully wiping the selectors and buttons with a dry cloth. If the drum opens, then we pull out things and start the rinse mode so that the foam is washed out of the tank.

If the door does not open, then we interrupt the washing mode and also turn on the rinse mode only without spinning. We do this several times until the foam is washed. After that, with a sigh of relief, we begin to look for the cause of the problem.

The reasons for the fact that in the washing machine a lot of foam is filled up with nothing at all, but this does not mean that you can be negligent in treating such a problem, because it may well bring the “home assistant” to the dump.

• Low-quality powder (made with impaired technology or fake).
• Handwash powder was mistakenly used.
• Significant overdose of powder.
• Washed bulk items with lots of powder.
• When washing occurs in high quality soft water.

Note! In softened water, the powder dissolves better and foams better.

It also happens in a different way, it seems to be a little foam, but it spilled out with the water and spilled around the body of the washing machine. Such a situation already directly indicates a serious breakdown, which can be associated either with a leak in the hose, pipes, tank or pump, or with the depressurization of rubber gaskets, especially the manhole cuff.

It's all about the powder

Absolutely everyone can run into low-quality powder. You don’t have time to look around, and now your machine has a lot of foam coming out of your washing machine, and what is not clear in this situation. What is the matter here?

Many users can swear that they buy for their "home assistant" only the most famous and proven brands of powders, and some people generally use washing gels. However, buying a pack of powder with a well-known label for a washing machine at a point of sale, you cannot look inside and check the chemical composition of the contents. Moreover, even after the unsuccessful use of detergent chemistry, you can prove little and ultimately, there will be no one to repair the damage.

The prosecution of manufacturers of counterfeit household chemicals is accompanied by a complex legal procedure, while damages in civil proceedings are unlikely.

This is used by unscrupulous powder manufacturers, as well as manufacturers of all kinds of counterfeit products. At best, they take the cheapest powder in bulk and then sprinkle it in packs with labels of expensive detergents. At worst, industrial components are taken and mixed in some way, making the powder not only dangerous for the washing machine, but also for humans.Accordingly, when foam has come out of the hatch of your beloved washing machine, there is nothing to be surprised that poor-quality powder is to blame.

If it was only about counterfeit powder, it would be possible to finish the narrative within the framework of this paragraph, but here everything is more complicated. Often the user himself is to blame for the fact that his car began to spew out a lot of foam. The simplest example is that the user, in a hurry or in a hurry, confuses a packet of powder for hand washing with a packet of powder for automatic washing.

In such a situation, if the dose of the powder is small and the washing program is not intense, nothing critical will happen, just a little more foam forms in the drum. If the dose is large, then so much foam can form that this will damage the washing machine.

Why only hand wash powder? If you put too much machine wash powder in the cuvette, the effect may be similar - a lot of foam and a lot of problems!

Special things or water

There are situations when you sort of put the right powder as usual, and poured it into the desired compartment of the cuvette of the washing machine, and unusually a lot of foam forms. Why it happens? There may be three options:

1. the drum is clogged to capacity with voluminous, light things;
2. you moved the car to a new place where the water is softer;
3. you just installed a filter to clean and soften the water.

If you are used to doses of powder when washing things in hard water, it is not surprising that having poured the usual dose when washing in soft water, you get more than a “foamy” result. About the same will happen if you decide to wash the tulle and pour as much powder as when washing cotton shirts. Be careful!

How to prevent foamy clouds?

Summarizing the above, we point out the thesis that it is necessary to do in order not to contemplate periodically beautiful, but dangerous foamy clouds for the car.

• You do not need to use hand-wash powder if you are going to wash things in a machine.
• Try to use high-quality powder, if in doubt, check it before washing, pouring a teaspoon of the product into the washing cuvette, and start the program with several rags in the drum.
• Do not pour too much powder into the machine. Experts recommend even slightly lowering the dose of detergent, but certainly not exceeding it - be economical.
• If you wash your clothes in soft water, pour half as much powder as the manufacturer recommends.
• Erasing voluminous things? Pour 1/3 of the norm of the powder, and then, the wash will pass without excesses.

So, we have examined all the main options in which your washing machine suddenly suddenly begins to “foam”. Do everything according to the above rules and this problem will no longer affect you!
