Is foam left in the dishwasher? You need to find out the causes of high foaming, as well as ways to fix the problem.
What to do with excess foam in the dishwasher
It happens that after a washing cycle, foam forms at the bottom of the chamber. If you notice something like this in your PMM, then unplug the machine, turn off the water supply.
So that water does not run out from under the door, it is urgent to remove the foam after washing.
The cause of this problem could be malfunctions that can be easily fixed with your own hands. In severe cases, it can be internal damage.
Poor detergent
If you decide to wash the dishwasher, you can not use gels for manual washing. The components included in the composition contribute to excessive foaming. After a few cycles, the water will also be very soapy. Which dishwasher to choose, read the article.
It happens of such types:
- powder;
- gel;
- pills;
- capsules.
Before use, carefully read the dosage on the package, since excess powder also leads to an abundance of foam at the bottom of the PMM.
To avoid problems, choose a quality detergent, and also look at its shelf life.
Make sure that no moisture gets into the powder. Otherwise, it is taken into lumps that do not dissolve and settle on the bottom of the bunker.
Clogged filter
The filter mesh may become clogged with food pieces, debris, scale. As a result, the water does not completely go into the drain, a small amount with foam remains in the pan. Therefore, manufacturers recommend cleaning the filter twice a month. This should be able to every user:
- open the hopper door;
- pull out the bottom basket;
- unscrew the filter from the pan, and also remove the metal mesh behind it;
- flush parts under pressure from a tap.
So you can remove excess foam from the Bosch dishwasher.
Incorrectly configured cycle
Check the program settings on the control panel. Many dishwasher models recognize the type of detergent. If the dissolution time of the tablet is longer than the washing cycle time, then it simply does not have time to completely dissolve.
Failure to comply with operating rules
Why does a lot of foam remain in the car? Oddly enough, the cause may be the remains of protein food (yogurt, cottage cheese, egg white). It includes a protein that promotes foaming.
Thoroughly clean the cutlery before loading it into the dishwasher.
How to remove excess foam
If it already enters through the doors, turn off the machine and wait for it to settle. Then open the door and scoop out as much foam as possible. Wash the inside of the tank with clean water, wipe with a dry sponge.
Studying the feedback of users who encountered a similar problem, we found effective, in their opinion, ways to eliminate the foam:
- pour half a glass of vinegar into the bottom of the machine;
- sprinkle a layer of salt on top;
- start the dishwasher for a short cycle;
- if the product still remains, repeat the procedure again.
The most difficult malfunction in this case is the failure of the heater. If washing occurs at a temperature of less than 40 degrees, this leads to large foaming. Therefore, check the heater. In most dishwashers, it is located in the lower part of the housing and is part of the circulation pump.
We recommend that you carefully read the instructions and observe the dosage of detergents as indicated on the package. Watch the video about the proper operation of the dishwasher:
