The washing machine does not wash things well

There are quite a few situations when a washing machine does not do good laundry. The most common cases are, firstly, when the washing machine was washing well, and then it suddenly began to wash poorly, secondly, when the machine is gradually starting to wash worse and worse, and finally, when you bought a new machine, but it washes away badly. Any of these situations may have a number of reasons, each of which has the same effect - poorly laundered underwear. Let's try to figure out the causes of the problem and determine the ways to resolve them.

Powder or water?

The most common reasons why a washing machine begins to wash things poorly is either detergent or water. If you just connected your washing machine to the water supply system (for example, after moving to a new house) and there are doubts about the quality of the water, make a trial run by washing something unnecessary. Traces of rust, dirt on clothes, all this can be the result of bad water.

Even if you are sure that high-quality water and a machine washed well in the water supply system, this does not mean that it will always be so. It’s enough that the neighbors two floors below will replace the riser with cold water and rust will flow through the pipes along with the water, which will ruin your laundry. A good solution to the problem could be filters for washing machines for water. They will clean the water at the entrance to the car and will not allow dirt to get on the laundry and ruin the equipment.

A lot is said and written about washing powders and all the same people are trying to save several tens of rubles by buying cheap low-quality detergents. As a result, bad powder spoils things, turning for example white pants into blue ones. Perhaps we are exaggerating, most people, fortunately, are not so stupid and use normal powders. But in such a situation there is no guarantee that you will not get a fake, which will ruin things.

Our advice: if you suspect that the cause of poor washing quality is detergent, try rinsing the powder receptacle and adding another powder into it, and then washing things. If the washing quality is satisfactory, then it was really a matter of powder.

Fault

The situation could be much more serious if a hidden breakdown of the washing machine became the cause of the poor washing. Not all models of washing machines have a high-quality system of self-diagnosis of malfunctions. For this reason, users learn about serious damage when the equipment has already ruined things and caused them moral and material damage. The following breakdowns usually reduce the quality of washing:

• failed heating element;
• extended drive belt;
• worn bearings.

Important! The above breakdowns have signs by which they can be detected, even if the washing machine itself did not do this and did not produce a system error with a specific code.

So, if you take out obviously cold and not washed clothes from the drum of the washing machine, and the hatch sweats during washing and rinsing, it is very likely that washing is carried out in cold water. First of all, you need check heater TEN. Since the machine does not heat water, it means that it will not be able to wash things normally. The problem is solved:

1. replacing the heating element;
2. replacement of the sensor of ten;
3. replacement of the managing triac.

Washing quality may gradually deteriorate due to a stretched drive belt. If you have a modern washing machine with direct drive, then this information is not relevant for you. Well, if in your washing machine the drive is carried out using a belt, you will have to remove the back wall of the machine, remove the old belt and install a new one. You can read about how to do it yourself in the article. How to change a belt on a washing machine - video.

To understand that the problem is in the belt, you must observe the washing machine. Namely, how she spins the drum during washing and spinning. When the belt is stretched, the revolutions are unstable and can suddenly fall, from this spin and washing will be carried out at a low speed, which means that the washing quality will suffer.

For washing machines that have been used for more than 5 years, more serious breakdowns associated with the drum mechanism can often occur. One of the most unpleasant breakdowns is the destruction of bearings. When the bearings are destroyed, the drum begins to knock and creak during rotation and the stronger the damage, the more terrible the sounds will be made by the washing machine. As a result, the drum will not be able to rotate at the speed necessary for a high-quality washing, and the machine will stop washing the laundry well.

In this case, you cannot delay the repair; the longer you delay the solution to the problem, the more expensive the repair will be. For washing machine bearing replacement it’s better to invite a specialist, but you can do all the work yourself, after carefully reading our article on this topic.

Dirt has accumulated

Dirt, mold and water stone - this is the real scourge of the washing machine. The inside of the washer is damp and warm, and these are ideal conditions for the development of mold. Over time, if nothing is done, the mold will grow so much that its marks will remain on the clothes that you put in the washing drum. The machine will stop washing clothes, and will contaminate it. Why this happens is understandable, but what to do?

• Remove dirty laundry from the drum of the washing machine;
• Take out the powder cuvette and rinse it from dirt;
• Unscrew the dust filter and clean it.
• Purchase a special detergent for washing machines, add it to the powder tray, and then start the program in hot water without putting the laundry in the drum and turning off the spin.
• If the machine is heavily overgrown with mold and water stone, then the procedure will have to be repeated twice, or even three times. After that, the washing quality will increase.

Note! Special detergents for cleaning washing machines will clean the “home helper” of a wide variety of dirt and mineral deposits, however, in the most advanced cases, manual cleaning may be required.

Features of the technique

Modern washing machines have in their arsenal dozens of different programs and functions that allow you to flawlessly wash things from various, even problematic, fabrics. However, users, sometimes not wanting to read the “multivolume” instructions, begin to “poke” to study their new washing machine and, of course, make mistakes when choosing a washing mode or when turning on any function.

Then angry calls to sellers in the store follow, calls to service centers asking why the machine does not wash away some things and assumptions about factory marriage. You need to understand that any technique in the work has features, a complicated technique with electronic control all the more. Before plugging such a technique into a power outlet, you need to carefully read the instruction manual, and only then take any action.

So, why the washing machine does not wash your favorite thing, and in general the quality of washing is pretty poor? To answer this question you will have to “turn on the logic” and sort through a lot of potential reasons for such an outcome, until you come across a true reason. And the information in this article will help you. Good luck
