The washing machine can serve you even several years, if you keep it clean and eliminate defects on an ongoing basis. One of the most common problems is the accumulation of water in the fluid container. Most people underestimate this, decide to drain the liquid and continue using the device. In fact, however, this may be the beginning of a more serious failure.
Water collecting in the fluid container. Where does it come from?
Water in the liquid tank can collect for several reasons: clogged elements of the siphon, calcified water outlet or a dirty drawer. The siphon may become clogged with scale deposits, as a result of which the water will not be drained completely and will be trapped in the drawer container. Then you need to thoroughly clean all its elements, because it is the basis for the smooth functioning of any washing machine. Limescale can also accumulate in the internal components of the device. Every few washes you should clean the liquid drawer. If you don’t, the sticky residue will build up and be difficult to remove. After washing the container, dry it thoroughly, because moisture favors the growth of fungi and mold.
How to clean the washing machine? Ways to get rid of scale and bad smell
A dirty drawer can cause an unpleasant smell after washing. Take it out and soak it in water with dishwashing liquid for 10 minutes. After this time, scrub all the nooks and crannies with a toothbrush. You can also put a teaspoon of baking soda and a little vinegar in each compartment. The limescale should come off the drawer by itself. Finally, scrub the septum with a brush and wash with warm water. You can clean the entire washing machine with vinegar. Pour a glass of vinegar into the powder chamber and run empty laundry on a program with a temperature of 90 degrees C. A good way to get rid of unpleasant odor and scale is also to use citric acid. Pour 120 g of citric acid (about 6 packages) into the washing machine drum and turn on the washing at 90 degrees C. After washing, the washing machine will be perfectly clean and fragrant.
