Causes of Foaming in the Dishwasher
Dishwasher of any brand, even brand, can give an unpleasant surprise in the form of excessive foaming. So why at the bottom of the dishwashers foam remains? Consider the main causes of this phenomenon and how to eliminate them.
Wrong detergents
For washing dishes in the machine should be used only special means. It is categorically impossible to use washing powders and preparations for manual washing.
Dishwasher detergents come in three forms:
- in pills;
- powdered;
- liquid gels.
If the tool is chosen correctly, but the foam is still formed,revise dosage. Perhaps, instead of the right amount you use too much. Excessive detergent may cause increased foaming.
Before falling asleep in the machine, check the measuring spoon. It should be completely dry.
If you use powder as a detergent, then it can form lumps from moisture, its remains dissolve and settle at the bottom of the case. And with the next wash there is foam, which can spoil the impression of using this device.
When buying dishwashing liquids, pay attention to expiration dates. Overdue products cannot guarantee the quality of the dishwasher.
Blockage
Foam in the dishwasher may remain due to clogging. If this problem occurs, you need to check drain hole. If it is clogged, the remnants of the detergent remain at the bottom of the machine body. When water enters, residues of the undissolved powder or gel react with water, which is the reason for the formation of foam. You can fix this problem in a couple of minutes. Remove the screen and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Problem solved!
Incorrect instrument setting
This applies to those who use tablets for washing dishes. Check the internal settings of the dishwasher.If the dissolution time of the tablet exceeds the operating time of one wash cycle, then it simply does not have time to dissolve. Subsequently, you will be able to find it on the bottom, and at the next wash, the foam can bulge through the seal of the car door.
For better dissolution of the tableted dishwashing detergent, use modes where the water temperature will be not lower than 50 ° С. At this temperature, complete dissolution of the tablet is guaranteed.
Egg white is to blame
If all of the above does not fit your situation, then perhaps the whole thing in the egg white. No matter how paradoxical it may sound, foam can be formed from the remnants of food containing an egg. The fact is that egg white includesproteinwhich has a foaming property. Therefore, before you load the machine with dirty dishes, check it for the presence of egg white residues.
If in the process of washing the foam started to break through the doors of the dishwasher, simply turn it off. After an hour, you can open it: during this time, the foam should settle.
Then remove the dishes and wipe off the remnants of detergent. After the dishwasher is cleaned, run a standard washing cycle.If the situation repeats or the machine interrupts its work to drain water, then you need to contact the service center. A professional employee will eliminate all malfunctions of the device, and washing the dishes again will be a joy.
