The washing machine does not pick up the powder - it does not wash away

The washing machine does not pick up the powderSometimes such a nuisance happens that the washing machine does not use powder or conditioner. That is, you put it in the necessary section of the dispenser and start washing. And then you notice that the detergent just was not used. It is still in the plastic tray.

Naturally, you understand that the machine should use these detergents. And the fact that she left them suggests that some kind of malfunction has occurred. And then we will analyze all the reasons for this situation.

Causes of malfunction

And so, let's get started. You have already tried washing, falling asleep washing powder, pouring in air conditioning or using other means. Already launched the wash and made sure that the machine does not pick them up. Now it remains only to understand why this is happening?

  • To begin with, let's not sound the alarm and just check that in which compartment of the dispenser did you put the powder / conditioner. If you always used this compartment, and everything was fine. And now this problem has suddenly arisen, we recommend that you play it safe and carefully study the instructions again. It is possible that you simply made a mistake.
  • After this check, we proceed to the following: make sure you use the same detergent. If earlier you used one washing powder, but now you decided to change it and fell asleep on another. And at the first wash, such a problem arose. It is possible that it is in the powder. Also, you could accidentally purchase fake goods. Usually fakes are of very poor quality. Therefore, try using the same powder as usual. And buy it where you always bought it.
  • The weak pressure of water can also affect. Fortunately, to test it you do not need any tools and special skills. Just turn on cold water (if your machine is connected only to cold) and check the pressure. If you see that water is barely pouring, then most likely the point is in it. And a low pressure does not allow to wash off all the washing powder from the dispenser. If usually such problems with water supply are not observed in your house, then you can call the Housing Office. Talk with the housing department to report on the trouble and to clarify when the normal water pressure will resume.
  • Another reason that the powder remains in its tray is the clogging of the bulk filter. This filter is a small metal mesh. It is necessary so that various debris or pieces of rust that may be in tap water do not fall into the machine. Indeed, in our water pipes there may be various small particles of dirt or litter, which can harm household appliances. When the net is clogged, water cannot enter the machine as well as it did before. Which can cause damage. This filter is located where the inlet hose is connected to the washing machine. In order to get to the net we need to unscrew the hose. Just before that, be sure to turn off the water supply. Then clean the filter with a rough brush with detergent. Then put the hose back in place and try washing again.
  • Another possible failure is the output of their inlet valve system. This part of the washing machine allows you to get water when you need it. And it blocks access to water when its set is not necessary. If it has deteriorated or got a blockage, as well as if its coil has deteriorated, then this may interfere with the intensive intake of water. Because of this, the powder may not be washed out of the dispenser section. Since the water has too low pressure. In this case, it is necessary to replace the valve. To do this, you can contact the master.

Blockage or breakage of the nozzle is also possible. In the case of a breakdown, we need to replace it.And in the case of a blockage, clean it. If you don’t want to bother yourself, we turn to the service for repairing household appliances. If you still have a desire to figure it out on your own, you will have to tinker.

Have a good repair!

    Hello. I would like to know more about how the powder intake of washing and conditioner (rinse aid) is switched? After all, powder is used first and then conditioner?
    My washing machine most likely has one valve at the water inlet.
    More specifically, Electrolux 96 .. (with direct spray system) The powder is not completely washed off. I am sure that the water flows normally and the powder is of proper quality.
    Another Kandy machine cx-085 txt Rinse aid (conditioner) stopped leaving, and the powder is washed off completely. If you can explain, please. Or maybe you know where you can see the device of this node. Thank you in advance.
