Planning your future affairs, you casually threw in the drum of dirty laundry, habitually poured the required amount of powder, poured the conditioner and with a calm mind went to do other things. But here is no problem, the washing was not successful.
Probably, the process of washing broke down, because after its completion the washing powder remained in the tray, and the dirty stains on your favorite things.
Do not be upset! Cases in which the washing machine does not grab the powder, quite common, and very often completely unrelated to serious problems of your "helper". So don't "waste your precious nerves" on worrying! We recommend reading our article to understand what happened to the modern washer-dryer after all.
If there is powder in the washing machine's ditch, the first action for you should be to check a few facts:
- Is the water flowing water into the machine.? This is not very difficult, as the vast majority of washing machines will not start the washing process at all, and the scoreboard on the "washer" will alert you to the error. Undoubtedly, if there was no washing, the powder remained in place.
- Did you open the water supply valve fully? It may be that the tap is not fully open, and for this reason there is not enough water pressure to do the laundry. One indication would be that it takes a particularly long time for the machine to draw water for the normal wash cycle.

Cleaning the powder tray under warm water Is there enough water pressure in the water supply? If the shut-off mechanism is open, but the pressure is still weak, the water supply system itself may be the cause. Weak water pressure in all faucets of your apartment - a reason to contact the management company, which is responsible for the maintenance of your home.
- Maybe you mixed up the dispenser trays? Be sure and extremely carefully read the instructions. It often happens that consumers confuse the trays and the powder is not placed in the main wash compartment, but in the prewash compartment. In such a case, if you select a program without a prewash cycle, of course, the powder will be untouched.
- Is there no blockage in the dispenser channel, whose function is to flush the powder into the tank? In such cases, water flows into the dispenser, but due to a clogged channel it is not possible to flush the required amount of powder into the drum. To avoid such troubles, a periodic procedure will help: remove the detergent tray and rinse it under not very hot running water.
- Have you used too much detergent? If you add a large amount of detergent, the excess will remain in the tray. For this reason, be sure to use a measuring spoon - this will be another article of savings in the family budget, and for you - will eliminate unnecessary anxiety about the faulty "helper".
- How good is the powder you use? It has been tested and proven in practice that cheap washing powders and, as a rule, low-quality, often form lumps when flushed and stick to the walls of the dispenser tray. No doubt, it is acceptable to wash the tray after each wash, but such a procedure does not always help, and the machine can not still well wash the laundry well.. Therefore, the choice of laundry detergent must be chosen responsibly!
Probably, your "helper" is a little "sick" after all.
Typical damage, due to which the washing machine poorly flushes the powder:
The table shows the breakdowns, the elimination of which is better to deal with a specialist:
| Signs of failure | Possible problem | The cost of repair |
| The washing powder is flushed, but not all of it. The laundry conditioner is also washed out partially. And the washing machine takes a long time to draw water. | 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. It is necessary to clean the filter.

Do it yourself or $6. |
| 2.A faulty water inlet valve can also be the cause. During normal operation, the valve opens and the machine draws in water in the necessary volume for all the manipulations performed, which includes the intake of detergent. But in the case where the valve breaks, the water may not come at all (in this situation, the washing machine will signal the absence of water), or may come in less volume - this happens when the membrane does not open completely. To eliminate such a malfunction can only be replaced with a water supply valve. |

| Powder won't flush at all, but water comes out as usual | This is a malfunction in the water supply to the detergent drawer. In this case, the powder remains completely dry and untouched, due to the fact that the flow of water, which in normal operation should flush the powder, can not get into the necessary compartment. The direction of water is coordinated by turning the nozzle (when selecting the washing program), and it is set in motion by a special rope on the spring. It happens that this rope shifts, "jams", or breaks at all, which causes incorrect water supply.
In such a situation, it is necessary to disassemble the washing machine and diagnose the mechanism of water supply to the detergent dispenser. It is possible that such a cable will be enough just to correct, or, if all the same there is a breakage - to replace. |

Pay attention! The above price includes only the technician's work and doesn't cover the cost of consumables. The final price, which includes repair work and the cost of supplies, is formed after checking the washing machine.
In general, if we are not talking about a very weak water pressure, in such a situation, the "washing machine" will simply refuse you to wash, and when it does not flush the powder, such a machine can continue to be used, simply by pouring detergent directly into the tank. But you must remember that this is the method of "first aid", because the detergent in such a situation is poorly dissolved, and the resulting lumps of powder have a more aggressive impact not only on your favorite things, but also on the parts of your indispensable "helper".
Therefore, if after reading our tips, you have not been able to eliminate this problem with powder washing by yourself, it is necessary to use the help of specialists.

Ouch. I tried everything and called a master and all to no avail. Apparently we got a defective one(() Have changed. Now we use the whirlpool. Much more like it. Does not leave any powder anywhere.
