The dishwasher (PMM) is a wonderful assistant for the hostess in the kitchen. It is able to work flawlessly for years and delight its owners with the impeccable quality of washing utensils and its functionality. Sometimes during operation, you begin to notice that the dishwasher does not wash dishes well.

Some of the housewives are dismissive of various factors that affect the quality of washing, explaining this attitude by the fact that the device is doing its job so well. But if you began to notice white stains, food debris or plaque on the plates, then the cause of the trouble may be:

• untimely preventive cleaning PMM details;
• improper operation of the machine by the user;
• wrong dosage or replacement special means for third-party washing;

A dishwasher, like any household appliance, requires careful maintenance and timely cleaning of individual parts and assemblies. The following elements are subject to regular cleaning in the unit:

Rinsing of PMM with the use of a special agent should be carried out once every six months. And this does not depend on the frequency of use of the unit.

After each end of the washing program, the appliance should be checked for leftover food, which may be in the tank of the machine or under the door, especially if it is a Bosch dishwasher.

Misuse

The reasons that the dishwasher does not wash dishes well can be in the typical mistakes of using the unit by the hostess:

• the user loads a very large amount of dishes and cutlery;
• utensils in baskets fit incorrectly;
• Wrong washing program selected.

The instructions describe in detail the correct arrangement of dishes in the baskets. PMM manufacturers (Electrolux, Siemens, Bosch) pay great attention to this issue. Therefore, it is recommended that you read these tips carefully before using the machine.

One of the most important rules for arranging utensils in a basket is to place it in such a way that there are gaps between it, and water can flow down without remaining in the plates.

You should also pay attention to the fact that the dishes in the lower basket do not block the flow of water to the upper basket. The stacked utensils should not interfere with the opening of the compartment with the tablet, as well as the rotation of the rocker arms. The more content is loaded, the denser it is. Such tight placement interferes with the good circulation of water and soap solution, and it may remain unwashed.

Another reason why the dishwasher does not work well is the choice wrong program e.g. for washing heavily soiled utensils. This starts a quick wash (in this mode, the water is heated to a temperature of 45-50 ° C). In this case, with heavily soiled contents with dried food residues, you should not expect high-quality washing (it would be more correct to choose a washing program with soaking). This is also described in the instructions for the unit, which few people read.

In order to make the filter of the machine less dirty, before loading the utensils into the machine, thoroughly clean it from food residues.

Detergent replacement or incorrect dosage

The following possible reasons that the Electrolux dishwasher and the like - Bosch, Hansa and others - do not work properly can be directly related to the use of detergents. More often this problem occurs due to the change of detergent to low quality or fake. This trouble is easily eliminated if you return to the previously used tool. Also, you can try to choose a detergent until you find the most high-quality and effective option. If you did not change the detergent, and the dishwasher sometimes began to wash dishes poorly, the problem may be wrong dosage facilities.

If the user refuses to use a special salt that restores the ability of the ion exchanger to soften water, then over time (if the hardness of the water in the line is high), it becomes clogged and fails. The use of complex tablets “3 in 1”, with very hard water, is not able to replace salt and it still needs to be added to the unit.

When to call the wizard

The reasons for poor dishwashing with a dishwasher were discussed above, which are obvious and can be eliminated without contacting a service center. But there are times when you can’t do without calling the wizard.

These faults should only be repaired by a qualified technician with knowledge and experience in this type of equipment. Only the master is able to diagnose and repair the device. If you try to do this on your own, you can get a disastrous result, and even a specialist will not be able to correct the consequences of your actions.
