Is there 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 similar in your PMM, then unplug the machine, turn off the water supply.
To prevent water from running out from under the door, you need to urgently remove the foam after washing.
The cause of such a problem could be malfunctions that are easily fixed by hand. In severe cases, it can be internal breakdowns.
Poor quality detergent
If you decide to wash the dishwasher, do not use hand washing gels. The components included in the composition contribute to excessive foaming. After a few cycles, the water will also be very soapy. Which dishwasher detergent to choose, read the article.
It is of the following types:
- powder;
- gel;
- pills;
- capsules.
Before use, carefully read the dosage on the package, since an excess of 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 expiration date.
Make sure that no moisture gets into the powder. Otherwise, it is taken in lumps that do not dissolve and settle at the bottom of the bunker.
Clogged filter
The filter mesh can become clogged with food pieces, debris, scale. As a result, the water does not completely go down the drain, a small amount of foam remains in the pan. Therefore, manufacturers recommend cleaning the filter twice a month. Every user should be able to:
- open the bunker door;
- pull out the lower basket;
- unscrew the filter from the pan, and also remove the metal mesh behind it;
- rinse the parts under pressure from the tap.
So you can remove excess foam from the Bosch dishwasher.
Incorrectly configured cycle
Check the program settings in the control panel. Many dishwasher models recognize the type of detergent. If the dissolution time of the tablet is longer than the wash cycle time, then it simply does not have time to completely dissolve.
Non-compliance with the rules of operation
Why is there a lot of foam in the car? Oddly enough, the cause may be the remains of protein foods (yogurt, cottage cheese, egg white). It includes a protein that promotes foaming.
Clean cutlery thoroughly before placing it in the dishwasher.
How to remove excess foam
If she is already coming through the doors, turn off the car and wait for everything to sit down. Then open the door and scoop out as much foam as possible with a ladle. Wash the inside of the tank with clean water, wipe with a dry sponge.
By studying the feedback of users who encountered a similar problem, we found effective, in their opinion, ways to eliminate foam:
- pour half a glass of vinegar into the bottom of the machine;
- sprinkle a layer of salt on top;
- run the dishwasher on a short cycle;
- if the agent still remains, repeat the procedure again.
The most difficult problem in this case is the breakdown of the heating element. If washing takes place at a temperature of less than 40 degrees, this leads to a lot of foaming. Therefore, the heater should be checked. For most dishwashers, it is located at the bottom of the housing and is part of the circulation pump.
We recommend that you carefully read the instructions and follow the dosage of detergents as indicated on the packaging. Watch a video on proper operation of the dishwasher:
