Samsung Washing Machine Eco Drum Clean: What Is It And How To Start?

No modern housewife can do without a washing machine. In case of failure of this irreplaceable unit, you have to return to the long-forgotten hand washing of linen, and everyone knows how long and tedious this process is. Therefore, the South Korean company Samsung, the world's largest manufacturer of high-tech household appliances, has developed the Eco Drum Clean function. In this article we will tell you about the features of this innovation, we'll talk about how to launch this useful function.

The built-in drum cleaning function will prevent premature breakdown of the washing machine and will maximize its life.

The fact is that with regular use of washing machines, as well as storage of laundry intended for washing in a drum, the internal parts of such equipment constantly remain moist, with undissolved dirt particles that have settled on the walls. These circumstances create favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria, mold, the formation of dirty deposits and unpleasant stagnant odors inside the drum.

The short word "Eco" in the name of this function means its energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.which are due to the low level of energy consumption during the cleaning of the drum.

This function is necessary for the care of washing equipment, especially where water containing various foreign impurities is supplied. It is recommended to run the offline drum cleaning at least 2-3 times a year., and then your machine will delight you with clean and fresh linen for a very long time. Now you don't have to waste your time manually cleaning it from the inside with the help of various available home remedies.

Samsung has introduced a special alert function into the interface of its latest washing appliances, which will let its owners know when the drum needs to be cleaned.

This function works very simply. The corresponding icon appears on the electronic display: a drum with an asterisk, and on the panel with buttons for switching the operating modes of the washing machine, the lamp opposite to "Clean drum Eco" will light up. If at the moment you do not have enough time to start the cleaning program, it does not matter - you can postpone the process until more suitable times. After all, this is just a signal that your machine is slightly dirty and needs cleaning, and no damage has occurred. Just keep this in mind. These alerts are usually triggered once a month, but their frequency primarily depends on the degree of use of your washing machine.

To clean the drum in your Samsung washing machine, it is necessary to do the following operations:

• press the "Power" button;
• turn the mode switch (in the form of a wheel) and put it opposite the "Eco Drum Clean" mode - the extreme division on the right;
• activate the function by clicking on the "Start" button;
• the washing machine will start an offline cleaning mode, which means that you do not have to worry about setting the required water temperature for this procedure: Samsung washing appliances automatically select a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius.

As you can see, this is not difficult. Using this function is very simple and pleasant, everything happens by itself and almost does not require your intervention. All Samsung washing machines have an intuitive interface, in addition, thanks to a special inverter motor, such machines operate very quietly, almost silently. You can go about your business or relax in front of the TV, while your home assistant will clean up and get ready for further effective washing of your laundry.

However, what about those who do not have an autonomous drum cleaning function in the washing machine? Such users will have to deal with their equipment on their own using various detergents, which are made by modern manufacturers in the widest range.

When buying a cleaning agent, carefully read the instructions, decide on what specific purposes this tool is intended for: it can be a comprehensive cleaning of the washing machine or only some of its parts.
