why_washing_machine_does_not_take_powder — Doesn't pick up powder? The reasons

When planning your future affairs, you casually threw dirty laundry into the drum, poured the required amount of powder out of habit, filled in the air conditioner and, with a calm soul, went to do other things. But that's not the task, washing failed.

Probably, the washing process was disturbed, because after it was completed, the washing powder remained in the tray, and dirty spots were on your favorite things.

Don't get upset! Cases in which the washing machine does not grab the powder are quite common and very often completely unrelated to the serious problems of your "assistant". So don't waste your precious nerves on worrying! We recommend that you read our article in order to understand what happened to the modern Moidodyr.

If there is powder in the washing machine drawer, your first step should be to check a few facts:

Does water in the washing machine? This is not very difficult, since the vast majority of washing machines will not start the washing process at all, and the display on the “washer” will notify you of an error. Undoubtedly, if there was no washing, then the powder remained in place.
Is the water supply valve fully open? Maybe the faucet is not open all the way and for this reason the water pressure is not enough to carry out the washing. One of the signs may be that the washing machine draws water for a particularly long time for the usual wash cycle.
Cleaning the powder tray under warm water

Is there enough water pressure in the plumbing? If the locking mechanism is open, but the pressure is still weak, then the water supply system itself may be the cause. Weak water pressure in all the taps of your apartment is a reason to contact the management company, whose duties include maintaining your home.
Maybe you mixed up the dispenser trays? Be sure to read the instructions carefully. It often happens that consumers confuse trays and powder is poured into the compartment not for the main, but for prewash. In this case, when choosing a program without a pre-cycle, of course, the powder will not be touched.
Is there a blockage in the dispenser channel, the function of which is to flush the powder into the tank? In such cases, water enters the dispenser, but due to a clogged channel, it cannot wash off the required amount of powder into the drum. A periodic procedure will help to avoid such troubles: removing the detergent tray and rinsing it under not very hot running water.
Have you overdone the amount of powder? If you poured a large amount of detergent, then the excess will remain in the tray. For this reason, you should definitely use a measuring spoon - this will become another article of saving the family budget, and for you - unnecessary worries about a faulty "assistant" will go away.
How good is the powder you use? In practice, it has been tested and proven that cheap washing powders and, as a rule, low-quality ones, often form lumps when flushed and stick to the walls of the dispenser tray.Without a doubt, it is allowed to wash the tray after each wash, but such a procedure does not always help, and the washing machine cannot still work well. wash clothes. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the washing powder with all responsibility!

But what to do in the case when - the valve is open all the way, your washing powder has proven itself only on the positive side, when washing you strictly follow the requirements of the instructions, not the slightest trace of blockage is found in the dispenser tray, but it still remains in the washing machine powder?

Probably, your “assistant” is still a little “ill”.

Typical damage due to which the washing machine does not wash off the powder well:

The table shows the breakdowns, the elimination of which is best done by a specialist:

Symptoms	Possible problem	Repair cost
Washing powder is washed off, but not all. The fabric softener is also partly washed out. And at the same time, the washing machine draws water for a long time.	1. The cause may be a clogged filter mesh, which is located in front of the water inlet valve. This happens when the quality of tap water is low. The filter needs to be cleaned.	On your own or $6.
	2.A faulty water inlet valve may also be the cause. During normal operation, the valve opens and the washing machine draws water in the required volume for all manipulations performed, which includes the intake of detergent. But in the case when the valve breaks, water may not flow at all (in such a situation, the washing machine will signal a lack of water), or it may flow in a smaller volume - this happens when the membrane does not open completely. The only way to fix this problem is to replace the water supply valve.	From 10$.
The powder is not washed off at all, but the washing machine picks up water as always	This is a problem with the water supply to the detergent drawer. In this case, the powder remains absolutely dry and untouched, due to the fact that the flow of water, which during normal operation should wash off the powder, cannot enter the required compartment. The direction of the water is coordinated by turning the nozzle (when choosing a washing program), and sets in motion its special cord on the spring. It happens that this cord moves, “sticks”, or completely breaks, which causes incorrect water supply. In such a situation, it is necessary to disassemble the washing machine and diagnose the mechanism for supplying water to the detergent dispenser. It is possible that such a cable will be sufficient to simply fix it, or, if a breakdown does occur, replace it.	From 12$.

**Diagnosis is free of charge, but if our specialist refuses repair services, it will be necessary to pay 4$ for the visit of a specialist.
