But if water in significant portions remains in the compartments for the powder or rinse aid, then it is necessary to take the necessary measures.

To do this, let's find out the reasons why water remains in the washing machine:

  • The detergent tray has been insufficiently monitored. We can conclude that in this case it is necessary to perform a little more frequent maintenance of the tray. It should be taken out and thoroughly rinsed.
  • Incorrect installation of the washing machine. Probably, your washing machine stands unevenly, relative to the horizontal plane. It is necessary to make a correct installation.
  • Are you sure about the quality of detergents you use? Perhaps the water in the washing machine after washing remains due to the poor quality of the powder or conditioner? Try replacing these products.
  • Did you overdo the proportions? It could be that you put more powder than you should. It could clog the drainage channels. We recommend using measuring cups.
  • The water pressure may not be sufficient. Check to see if you have opened the water inlet valve all the way. If so, there is likely a problem with your shared plumbing, contact your property manager.

Such a program provides a stop with water. If this is the case, just activate the drain mode. If the matter is not in the program, then, most likely, the matter is in the damage to the pump. Here already have to go to the professionals.

If the water has an unpleasant odor and cloudy appearance, then it means that it came from the sewer system and you should check the drainage system. If the water is clearly clear, then it came from the water supply and the problem is in the inlet valve.
