You can avoid the formation of limescale on the heating element , and there are ways to clean your machine from limescale so that you don't have to deal with cleaning it later.
How to use an automatic washer-dryer
The main reason for the formation of limescale in the washing machine is, as mentioned above, the high hardness of the water used for washing.
Water in our water supply, as a rule, contains not only a large amount of iron, but also such unpleasant impurities such as rust, harmful chemical compounds, salts, etc. Washing in such water, especially at high temperatures, leads to the formation of scale on the heating element.
You can prevent limescale in the washing machine by installing a filter with water purifying and softening cartridge. It can be a main filter installed on the riser and purifying all water entering the apartment. You can also install a filter on the section of pipe that connects the water supply and washing machine. Then the purified water will go only to the washing machine.
In addition, there are now a number of different additives on the shelves of household chemicals and laundry detergents that provide water softening during the washing process and allow you to to avoid getting limescale in the washing machine. However, it is difficult to say how effective these advertised products are.
In addition, there is an opinion that laundry detergent labeled "for automatic washing machines" also contains in its composition a certain amount of water softening elements.
Effective in the fight against scale in the washing machine is also manual cleaning of the heating element to avoid later costly repairs. To do this, the part is removed from the housing and gently scrubbed off the scale. Carried out such a procedure by the master on repair of washing machines.
Cleaning the machine with acid
Since scale in the washing machine directly affects the quality of its work and can even cause a breakdown of the appliances, it is recommended to clean the heating element occasionally.
Clean HEATING ELEMENT You can use citric acid. To clean the machine, we need to take about 200 grams of acid, which is sold in a grocery store.
Important! Cleaning is carried out when there is no laundry in the drum of the machine.
To clean the machine by this method, add the citric acid powder in the dispenser for laundry detergent or pour directly into the tank and run the wash at maximum temperature with an additional rinse.
Citric acid and high temperature will do their job and the heating element will be cleaned, and the scale, available in the washing machine, will leave it with the water drained during the washing process.
At the end of the "cleaning" wash, you should check and, if necessary, clean the rubber sleeve on the tank. Sometimes there is a build-up of limescale particles after such cleaning, so it is not unreasonable to wipe the cuff with a soft codpiece.
