Why won't the tablet dissolve in the dishwasher and what should I do?

For high-quality operation of the dishwasher, three agents should be used simultaneously - to soften the water, wash and rinse the dishes. Of course, such an assortment is not cheap, and it's troublesome. To date, manufacturers produce one product that allows high-quality washing and rinsing of dishes, and also ensures a long service life of the dishwasher - these are special tablets... In the article, we will take a closer look at why the tablet does not dissolve in the dishwasher, and what to do at the same time.

There are many reasons why a tablet in PMM does not dissolve completely or only partially dissolves. It is necessary to dwell on the most common reasons in more detail.

A fairly common reason is the use of poor quality pills. It is recommended to buy a tablet from another manufacturer... If it dissolves well, then the previous version was of poor quality. When loading a tablet, make sure that the detergent drawer remains dry. In a humid environment, the briquette swells rather quickly and adheres to the walls of the compartment. Remember that you cannot take a tablet with wet hands either, because this can also lead to the briquette sticking to the walls.

A rather rare reason for poor-quality dissolution of a tablet during washing dishes is incorrect loading of the dishwasher. If large dishes are close to the valve of the dosing compartment, the circulation of water is obstructed. The briquette gets wet, softens, and the quality of the tablet deteriorates.

Lack of strong water pressure is also a common cause. Check how the water flows. Most likely, the reason lies in the crane itself, it may fail.... In this case, you should not try to fix it yourself, if you are not a plumber - contact a professional right away.

Common reasons include clogged detergent compartment. This compartment contains a small hole that becomes clogged with limescale or food debris over time. In this case, water simply does not enter the compartment, as a result, the tablet cannot dissolve, and the dishes are washed with plain water. We recommend using regular vinegar because it fights limescale well. Preventing their appearance will help regular use of special dishwasher salt. It needs to be added even in tandem with multifunctional detergent tablets, as they cannot cope with hard water rich in lime particles.

Quite often, the tablet does not dissolve in the dishwasher. due to clogged flow filter... It is presented in the form of a grid. Over time, it becomes clogged with rust and various debris. For self-cleaning, you must turn off the water supply, unscrew the hose, and get the compartment. It helps to get rid of rust great citric acid solution.

The tablet may not dissolve if when the holes of the impeller - the special spray arm - are completely blocked. It happens that food residues clog the nozzles, through which water is sprayed through the dishwasher chamber. It is recommended to remove the impeller and clean all holes with an old toothbrush or toothpick. When installing it, you should pay attention to so that it stands up to the end and spins with ease.

Sometimes tablets are sold in water-insoluble containers. And if it is not removed, then the tablet will not dissolve, since there will be no contact with water. Usually, manufacturers indicate that the packaging should definitely be removed, but not everyone reads the instructions. Next time, remove the cellophane film and you will see the result.

If you choose the wrong dishwashing regime, then the tablet will most likely not dissolve. Some dishwashers have a program that rinses the dishes with cold water only, without using detergents. The program is designed in such a way that there is not enough time and water to dissolve the tablet. Next time, choose a different program for washing dishes, if the tablet dissolves, then the reason was precisely in the choice of the washing program.

For complete and high-quality dissolution of the tablet when washing dishes, you need to perform several simple steps.

• Initially, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions for using the dishwasher, while paying attention to with what means it can work. Usually, outdated models can only function with powder, tablets, in general, are not suitable for them.

• Further it is recommended to read the instructions for the dishwashing detergent you have chosen. Pay attention to the doses and the presence of the container, as it may be water-insoluble, so it must be removed manually.

• It is necessary to regularly clean the dishwasher from various types of dirt, scale elements and food debris... Special attention should be paid to the cuvette in which the tablet is placed. It must be dry and clean. Therefore, after the next use, it must be rinsed and dried.

• It is recommended to clean the flow filter from time to time.... Pay attention to the pressure with which the water flows, as it must be uniform.

• You need to purchase only high quality tablets... Take a look at the packaging before purchasing to ensure that it is not damaged. It is better to buy products from well-known brands. If you skimp on dishwashing detergents, your dishwasher will break down more often, and you will pay a lot more money as a result.

The following rules from professionals should be adhered to, then there will be no problems with dissolving the tablet in the dishwasher:

• choose the right program - “3 in 1” or “5 in 1” tablets are designed exclusively for long-term modes (more than one hour);

• you can store tablets only in a dry place;

• if the product has a water-soluble shell, then it is forbidden to take it with wet hands, since the film will be damaged in contact with water;

• cleaning the machine with a special tool for equipment inside should be done once a season; scale and grease will be completely removed.

In addition, Bosch SRV and SMS equipment works great with phosphate-based detergents, but they are not suitable for Bosch SRS. For Hansa, only products with salt should be used.

The functional detergent tablets for washing dishes in dishwashers not only improve this process, but also save time.Of course, they are not cheap, but equipment repairs will cost much more. If there are problems with the dissolution of the tablet, the reasons may be different, but by adhering to all the recommendations, you can easily determine the cause and prevent its recurrence.
