Drum cleaning function in LG washing machine

Cleaning looks like a regular wash without linen and consists of several stages:

Why do I need lg drum cleaning function?

Often small items get into the washing machine with the laundry:

• sand;
• fabric fibers;
• pile;
• threads;
• paper clips, pins;
• coins.

In order to prevent equipment breakdown, it is enough just to check the things loaded into the washing drum and prevent foreign objects from entering. It is also important to remove lumps of dirt, and when washing delicate laundry, use special bag.

Dirty water can also cause clogging and technical problems.Metal salts leave scale on the internal moving parts of washing machines, so the use of special compositions for washing or a water filter would be an excellent option. Such means include Calgon and Alfagon. Although the opinion of experts is ambiguous. Some of them are sure that in addition to soft water, they harm the technique itself due to the chemical compounds they contain. Filters will save not only drum from plaque and blockage, but also all internal parts, as they clean the water already at the entrance to the washing machine.
