Washing drum cleaning function in LG washing machine

How do I use the lg drum cleaning function, for example? This procedure is mandatory. It removes all the substances that could not dissolve during the washing process. It is a pity that not all models are equipped with it.

How the drum cleaning function works

It looks like a normal washing without laundry and consists of several stages:

1. The prewash mode is turned on.
2. Starts the main mode or cleaning at 60 degrees with speeds up to 150 per minute.
3. The program ends with a double rinse and spin at the highest possible speed.

To prevent plaque and clogging, a preventive cleaning of the drum twice a month is sufficient. We strongly recommend that you clean the drain filter debris.

Why do I need the lg drum cleaning function?

Often with the laundry loaded into the washing machine get small objects:

• sand;
• fibres of cloth;
• lint;
• threads;
• paper clips, pins;
• coins.

To prevent breakage of the equipment is enough just to check the items loaded in the washing drum and to avoid foreign objects. It is also important to remove clumps of dirt, and when washing delicate laundry use a special bag for delicate items..

Dirty water can also cause clogs and malfunctions. Salts of metal leave limescale on the internal moving parts of the machine, so an excellent option will be the use of special compounds when washing or a water filter. Such products include Calgon and Alphagon. Although the opinion of experts is mixed. Some of them are sure that in addition to soft water, they are harmful to the equipment itself because of the chemical compounds they contain. Filters ...are not only going to get rid of... the drum at from plaque and clogs, but also all the internal parts, because they clean the water already at the inlet to the washing machine.
