The machine with a beep reported that the washing process is complete, everything seems to be in order, but the washed laundry, instead of freshly smelling conditioner, emits a pungent smell of powder. Looking into the dispenser of washing detergents, you will unfortunately find that the machine did not touch the rinse aid you poured.
At first sight it may seem that such a trifle is not a reason to worry, the conditioner does not go in the washing machine, it is nothing, the machine does the washing anyway. Not everything is so simple. Even such insignificant deviations in work can appear as preconditions for serious problems. So, let us understand, what to do, if the washing machine does not take the conditioner?
The first things to do if your washing machine won't use the air conditioner:

- Is the pressure under which water is flowing into the machine sufficient? The machine probably doesn't have enough water pressure to pick up the conditioner. If this is the case, the washer usually makes a rustling noise for a while as it draws water. Check whether the water supply tap is fully open. If it's okay, the problem is in the water supply itself. If this is the case, contact your management company.
- Where do I pour the washing machine's conditioner? Could it be that you accidentally mixed up the dispenser compartments and poured the rinse aid in the wrong place?
- Could there be a clogged channel in the dispenser that flushes the rinse aid into the tank? It is often the case that the remaining elements of rinse aid create build-up on the walls of the channel that carries the conditioner into the machine. These buildup obstruct the water flow. You should flush the dispenser tray at least once in a while.
- Maybe you poured a lot of conditioner? The washer rinse aid left in the dispenser tends to dry out, thereby clogging the flush channel. You need to use measuring cups.
- Are you sure of the quality of the conditioner you are using? Choose the washing machine rinse aid carefully, studying the consumer reviews about it. Also, the expiration date of the product is not unimportant.
