How to start the Eco drum cleaning mode in Samsung washing machines step by step

Large particles of dust, dirt, sand and other fractions get into the machine, of course, with clothes, which are washed with shoes or other things. And plaque and scale are formed from hard water or low-quality laundry detergent.

Leaving wet or dirty laundry in the drum for a long time provokes the formation of mold and can create favorable conditions for the development of fungus. It is also possible that rust may appear on metal parts.

Washing special clothes: mechanics, cooks, work clothes for the dacha or garden, children's sports uniforms can leave sediment on the drum in the form of oil stains, metal shavings, sand and other large fragments.

Before washing such clothes, it is advisable to shake them out, turn them inside out, pre-soak and rinse them in order to avoid the accumulation of dirt and sediment inside the machine and to extend its service life.

Shoes should be rinsed especially before the washing process, because a significant number of large fractions of earth and sand accumulate on them, which are difficult to wash out of the machine.

Poor quality water can also cause dirt to appear. Especially after carrying out all sorts of tests on the water supply or in the old housing stock. In such situations, it is better to install additional filters, in addition to those already provided for by the design of the “machine”. In addition to rust, filters will help if the water is very hard.

You should not wash damaged ones, since threads can also accumulate in the drum and will be a favorable environment for the life of all kinds of microorganisms. You should also check your clothing pockets for metal items, paper clips, money, buttons and other small items that could cause machine damage.

If sediment, dirt, mold and an unpleasant smell are already in the machine, then the drum cleaning function is vital.

Activation and operation of the function

Not long ago, Samsung introduced an intensive soaking program. A technology in which even very dirty clothes become clean without any effort on the part of housewives. Now you don’t need to rub stubborn stains for a long time, experiment with stain removers and wait for 2-4 hours - the washing machine copes with the task quickly, efficiently and automatically.

When intensively soaked in Samsung washing machines, clothes soak in whipped active foam, thanks to ecobubble technology.

The soaking program is started by pressing the “Bubble Soak” button. To understand what it is and how it works, it is worth following the main stages of this program.

The first stage is soaking with detergent. After the user places the soiled item in the drum and turns on intensive soaking, the ecobubble generator (developed by Samsung) turns the detergent into active foam. Through the holes, the foam mixture penetrates the fabric structure and begins to gently destroy stains from the inside.
The second stage is a mini-wash. A little water is added, the drum is rotated for a while at low speeds, after which the detergent dissolves more strongly and begins to act more actively.
The third stage is direct soaking. The clothes remain in bubbles of well-dissolved product. The foam penetrates deep into the fibers of the fabric, completely pushing dirt out of the material.
The fourth stage is repeated scrolling. The drum rotates periodically, allowing the foam to “envelop” the entire thing.

Thanks to ecobubble, the effect of washing powder or gel increases significantly, since the bubbles quickly cleanse dirt, acting as gently and carefully as possible. Thanks to the foam and periodic rotation of the drum, intensive soaking on Samsung machines helps to defeat even the most difficult stains, for example, from blood, red wine, grass or coffee.

The housewife can vary the soaking time, depending on the degree of contamination of the item. As a rule, a standard 30-40 minute cycle is enough. The main thing is not to forget to add detergent to two compartments of the powder receptacle at once. After preliminary cleansing, it is easy to start the main wash, which will smoothly transition into rinsing and spinning.

Cleaning the inlet hose filter

You are almost certainly faced with a clogged problem if your washing machine is slow to fill. The filter of the device captures debris from the water supply, prevents it from entering the machine and protects the internal parts. It is possible that it is clogged with mineral deposits and tiny particles of debris.

Contamination occurs most often after repairs to the water supply system (both in an apartment and in a public network). Any work on water supply lines increases sediment in the pipes, and, as a result, on the filters. And it’s worse if the hose is clogged. This component of the washing machine is more difficult to clean.

Cleaning the filter is not difficult. The only thing you need to be careful when you remove the filter. Don't yank it. Gently squeeze and twist as you pull towards yourself. If it bends a little, return it to its original shape by straightening it with your fingers.

Tip: If there are too many lime deposits on the filter, it is unlikely that you will be able to wash it. Buy a new one: they are inexpensive and sold at plumbing stores.

What you need to prepare before cleaning the filter:

screwdriver 4 in 1;
needle nose pliers;
utilitarian knife.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Turn off the water, disconnect the hoses.

2. Use a pair of pliers to remove the filter. 3. Remove sand and debris from it. Pry out the stuck particles with a knife. 4. Rinse under water or blow with a hairdryer. 5. Put the filter in place by pressing on the rim with a screwdriver. 6. With hoses and water, do everything in reverse order: connect the hoses, turn on the water, checking for leaks.

Why is a “dirty” drum dangerous?

Contaminants that enter the machine are not completely washed out during the washing process; the resulting mold and mildew can, in addition to a relatively “harmless” unpleasant odor, cause allergies or other diseases dangerous to humans. The accumulated dirt settles on the laundry, which is washed again, and not only white clothes suffer from this.

Cleaning function: operating features

Modern models have a cleaning function. The pioneer in the use of such functionality was the Korean company Samsung. Cleaning the eco samsung drum will tell you how to use it in the operating manual of the “machine machine”. But, as a rule, there are general steps to enable cleaning.

The washing machine drum cleaning function includes a full cycle of operation that the machine carries out without laundry. To start it, you need to empty the drum, check the filter and drain hose connection for blockages and turn on the cleaning function.

The frequency of cleaning is determined by the manufacturer or as the machine becomes dirty. You can use special products recommended by the manufacturer for this procedure. Whatever products are used, it is important to remember to rinse vigorously or repeatedly to completely remove the product used.

When there are no special products at home, and you urgently need to clean the drum, you can use an arsenal of home remedies. Citric acid can help with cleaning. 100-150 g of acid is poured into the powder compartment and a full intensive washing cycle is started. This tool can be used once or twice, but not more often, because this may negatively affect the components of the mechanism.

You can also use a solution of 9% acetic acid or “White” for these purposes, which is again suitable in emergency situations.

Cleaning the eco Samsung drum extends the life of the machine and helps the owner determine the time when to use this function. As a rule, such cleaning should be carried out at least two or three times a year. However, it all depends on the frequency of operation. For intensive washing, it may be turned on once every few months.

This type of cleaning of the “machine” will not save you from scale. To do this, you need to carry out separate cleaning. To prevent scale formation, it is possible to use water softening agents. But alkaline compounds can have a negative effect on rubber parts.

It is better to wash fluffy and delicate fabrics in special covers to prevent fabric fluff from getting on the heating element. This may cause it to burn out.

After each wash, do not forget about the need to ventilate and wipe all accessible parts of the machine: rubber seal, door, drum.

Benefits of Samsung eco bubble feature

Samsung has become a pioneer not only in the introduction of auxiliary functions in the machine, but also in the use of new technologies in washing. One of these technologies is eco bubble.

Eco bubble, what is it? This is a system that provides for the enrichment of water with oxygen through the intensive formation of bubbles and their use as an additional tool during the washing process. The use of such a system makes it possible to better separate contaminants from fabrics and surfaces, heat water to minimum temperatures and thereby save on energy consumption and expose the items being washed to less impact.

Using eco-bubble, you can wash both in cold water and in water with a minimum heating temperature: 15C, which is important for things that require a delicate approach. It also allows you to better dissolve washing powder or detergent in water and better rinse it.

What do the buttons on a Samsung washing machine mean?

To properly operate a Samsung washing machine, the user needs to know what the buttons on its panel mean. The image of a circle with a vertical line is a button to turn the device on and off. ... The button with a clock symbol with an arrow is a delay timer that allows you to set the time at which the equipment will start.

Interesting materials:

Why is sauerkraut like snot? Why does WOT Blitz lag on PC? Why does a tree trunk burst? Why doesn't the radio play all the songs from the flash drive? Why do terry towels become stiff? Why does the machine automatically fill with water and immediately drain it? Why does the machine constantly fill with water? Why butter? Why doesn't oil dissolve in water? Why does oil get into the cooling system?

ECO on Samsung machines

According to statistics, in Russia Samsung machines occupy one of the leading positions in terms of use among ordinary users. Therefore, let’s look at what Eco modes are on one of the models called Samsung WF1602YQR. The savings program for this SM is listed as “Intensive IVF” and has the following features:

The drum can only be loaded 2/3 full in this mode. This is not entirely convenient, because if your machine has a load of 6 kg, then you will only have to wash 4.
There is no pre-wash option.

On average, washing takes 4 hours, of which 3 hours and 40 minutes are the main wash, and another 20 minutes are for activating additional functions.
Washing mode – 40 degrees.
Additional options include the Eco Bubble, Easy Ironing and Delay functions, which can be activated if desired.

The above means that if you have enough time, you can safely turn on this mode. But if you need to wash things quickly, you will have to give up saving. And yes, don’t forget that Eco is about saving; the regime has nothing to do with the environment. Basically, with the help of this program you can save electricity, since the problem of high electricity tariffs is acute not only in Russia, but also in the West. That is why Western engineers came up with such a special regime.

Effective Drum Cleaning Methods

Cleaning the drum in a Samsung washing machine from dirt can be done in at least two ways. The first is the use of special cleaning agents or detergents for the machine during a full cycle at maximum temperature.

The choice of products should not diverge from the manufacturer’s recommendations, since the use of other products may affect the condition of the internal parts of the machine: drum, rubber seal, etc.

The second option is to use the cleaning function offered by the manufacturer in the machine itself.

Pros and cons of cleaning with citric acid

The properties of citric acid are determined by its chemical structure. This substance was not invented specifically for cleaning washing machines, so its effect on equipment parts has both positive and negative sides.

Positive aspects of the method

Without cleaning the scale in the SM, you can expect, at a minimum, burnout and the need to replace the heating element. Therefore, there is no need to delay the cleaning procedure. The method for removing deposits should allow anyone without experience to carry out the procedure.

If you decide to regularly clean your SM with citric acid, you can buy a large volume of it at once. It will be cheaper and less troublesome

The use of citric acid to eliminate accumulated insoluble salts meets this requirement due to a number of advantages:

Availability and low cost. Citric acid in the required quantity can be bought in any store for several tens of rubles.
Simplicity. Even an untrained person can carry out the cleaning procedure.
Efficiency. 100 g of citric acid will dissolve up to 80 g of scale.
Safety. Both citric acid and calcium citrate formed after dissolving scale are harmless to health.

These positive aspects of LC make it the drug of choice in the fight against scale. There is no point in buying expensive special products for cleaning SM if they provide a similar effect.

Citric acid is used both in caring for the internal and external parts of the washing machine. The advantage of this folk remedy is that using lemon juice can effectively clean surfaces that are inaccessible to the user.

Confirmation of the effectiveness of removing accumulations with citric acid is demonstrated in the video:

How to start the drum cleaning function

The Eco function involves minimal energy consumption, as well as environmental friendliness when cleaning mechanisms. The need for it will be indicated by the icon on the machine’s display in the form of a drum with an asterisk or another icon. This does not mean that the machine is damaged, but it does indicate the need for cleaning.

It does not require any additional investments, you just need to turn on the machine and set the function, the cleaning temperature is about 70 degrees.

If you don’t have the time or opportunity to do the cleaning right away, you can postpone it, but you shouldn’t delay it.

Why do you need to clean the washing machine drum?

The drum, when dealing with dirty laundry, becomes dirty over time. In washing machines without automatic cleaning, you have to do it yourself. To do this, pour bleach, vinegar, citric acid into the machine, add baking soda or other cleaning and disinfectants.

Thanks to treatment with cleaning agents, the drum gets rid of dirt, bacteria, mold, scale, unpleasant odors and soap deposits. If you don’t clean the “inside” of the machine in time, a putrid smell will emanate from it, and washed items will also smell like it.

If you neglect the cleanliness of the SMA, it will fail prematurely. If you bought a model with Eco, you don’t have to use special cleaning products or run the washing machine empty - the device will take care of its cleanliness.

Eco function in a Samsung washing machine - what is it?

Before starting the program, read the instructions carefully to find out how to turn on the device. This cleaning must not be used while there is laundry in the washer. Thanks to Eco technology, not only the drum is cleaned, but also other internal parts that come into contact with water. The machine becomes clean, the likelihood of its breakdown is reduced, and its service life is automatically extended.

The main condition for launching the Eco option is the absence of foreign objects and laundry in the drum. Violating this rule may result in serious damage.

When is cleaning needed?

To prevent the user from wondering whether his machine needs special procedures, the Korean manufacturer has provided an alert. A picture appears on the electronic display (if provided) - a cylinder and a small star - see photo 3 for the image. At the same time, a certain light will flash on the mode switch, signaling the need to start the option.

If the mode is not started, the indicator and light will go out. They will turn on again after two washes. If you don't run the option right away, it's not an error - nothing critical will happen.

Typically, the cleaning light comes on once a month. But the function is not tied to time, but to the frequency of washing. The more often you wash, the more often the system will require cleaning.

Water temperature in Eco mode is 70˚C. It is impossible to change it.

How to run the function?

The Eco self-cleaning function can be started without a reminder. To do this, do the following:

Turn on the SMA by pressing the "Power" button.
Turn the switch to select the Eco option.
Press On/Off to turn on the function. No special tools are needed.

It is recommended to clean the debris filter before starting the program. If this is not done, the effectiveness of Eco Bubble will decrease. “Eco Bubble” is a bubble wash in which water is enriched with oxygen, another technology from the Korean brand.

If there is no self-cleaning?

Does your SMA lack the above function? Then you will have to, armed with household chemicals, carry out the operation yourself. When choosing a chemical, one takes into account its impact not only on human health, but also on machine parts. At the same time, it should be as versatile as possible in order to cope with all problems at once - scale, mold, dirt, etc.

In addition to folk remedies - vinegar, soda, etc., you can use special products to clean the machine. They can be complex and against a specific problem.

How much do cleaning products cost:

Dr. Beckmann. Hygienic cleansing powder for SMA. A 250 g package costs from 272 to 355 rubles.
Nagara. There are 5 tablets in a package. Cost: 130–160 rubles.
Magic Power. Anti-scale gel. Cleans all internal elements that come into contact with water. From 220 rubles.
Dr. Beckmann. Cleaning liquid with a complex effect. Price - from 242 to 305 rubles.

These drugs eliminate scale, unpleasant odors, and kill bacteria. These products can also be used in machines with a self-cleaning option - to enhance the effect.

Review of modern models with bubble washing function for 2022

Washing machines with Eco Bubble technology are presented in the price range from 18 to 90 thousand rubles.

Model WW10H9600EW, controlled by smartphone

This unit is equipped not only with a bubble washing function, but also with the ability to connect to a mobile device via a Wi-Fi network. The machine has built-in sensors that determine the degree of contamination, water temperature and the volume of loaded laundry.

Other features:

good load up to 10 kg;
acceleration of the centrifuge during a spin cycle of 1600 rpm;
touch display and setting washing parameters with a light touch of your hand;
there is an auto-dosage of detergents (unfortunately, only liquid ones);
3D vibration sensor and imbalance control;
auto-cleaning of the drum using hot water and high rotation speed;
high energy consumption class A++.

The machine costs about 45 thousand rubles. ### Model WW65K42E00S: if you want, add more! This laundry device is a godsend for those who accidentally forgot to throw in small items. Without pausing the main wash cycle, you can add socks, underwear or a T-shirt through a special compartment in the hatch door.

Other features:

there is a delayed start timer for 12 hours;
the washing machine is narrow, so it can easily fit in a small bathroom (depth 45 cm);
the maximum load of laundry is 7 kg;
noise level during spinning 73 dB;
partial protection against leaks.

For the amount of 33 thousand rubles, users would like to see a drying function or at least steam processing of things. ### Samsung WW6600K with steam wash capability The Samsung Eco Bubble WW6600K washing machine is a stylish device with excellent washing quality and the AddWash function. Device Features:

capacity – up to 7 kg;
the ability to reload laundry without draining the water;
steam washing, which is available for the “Bed Linen” and “Children’s Clothes” modes;
Bubble Soak technology, which is activated by lightly pressing (thanks to the accelerated rotation of the drum with the simultaneous supply of a stream of water, it will cope with heavy dirt in less than an hour);
Full Touch display will make operating the device even more comfortable;
numerous washing programs, including accelerated cycles;
due to the special design of the drum, the laundry does not curl during washing;
Digital Inverter contributes to lower noise levels;
There is a “Super Rinse+” option, which allows you to better remove detergent residues from clothing fibers.

The cost of the machine is 39-41 thousand rubles. ## Samsung Eco Bubble washing machine: user reviews Washing machines equipped with “bubble washing” technology have been in use for about 3-4 years, which is why their owners can give a correct assessment of the manufactured units. Unfortunately, the majority of reviews are negative – about 80%. The most obvious complaints:

does not wash things well (due to the economical supply of water, the clothes only get wet and flop around in the drum, and at the exit there is dirt, just like when loading);
emits an unpleasant rubber smell that does not disappear even with time;
cannot boast of ultra-quiet operation, vibrates strongly during spinning;
The “Outerwear” program is not intended for products with down filling or padding polyester;
many modes are too long in time, despite the benefits of quick washing.

So, whether to buy or not is up to you. We can conclude that the Samsung Eco Bubble washing machine is a well-promoted laundry unit that costs a lot of money. Although the South Korean manufacturer trumpets in all directions about a special technology for better washing and savings, in reality it turns out that eco-bubble washing does not live up to expectations at all. We do not engage in anti-advertising, we simply focus on customer opinions!

conclusions

Self-cleaning is a convenient and useful function that reminds you of the need for “water procedures.” With it, you will not forget about washing the internal parts of the SMA - they often think about it when they hear an unpleasant odor.
The internal cleanliness of the washing machine can be maintained without additional cleaning products.
User reviews confirm that self-cleaning makes it much easier to keep the SMA clean and tidy and extends its service life.

Following the Koreans, many brands are introducing the self-cleaning option. Essentially, this is a washing program without laundry. To provide it in the SMA, no special costs or skills are required, so its presence has virtually no effect on the cost of the washing machine. And since you don’t have to overpay for this mode, why not buy a device with this convenient option, which will allow you to keep the drum clean without any effort or expense.

Eco drum cleaning function in a Samsung washing machine: what is it and how to start it?

No modern housewife can do without a washing machine. If this irreplaceable unit fails, you have to return to the long-forgotten hand washing of clothes, and everyone knows how long and tedious this process is. Therefore, the South Korean company Samsung, which is the world's largest leader in the production of high-tech household appliances, has developed the Eco drum cleaning function. In this article we will talk about the features of this innovation and talk about how to launch this useful function.

Features Features

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

The fact is that with regular use of washing machines, as well as storing laundry intended for washing in a drum, the internal parts of such equipment constantly remain wet, with undissolved dirt particles deposited 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.

Regular cleaning of the Eco drum in a Samsung washing machine will help get rid of all these negative aspects and prolong the life of your irreplaceable assistant.

The short word “Eco” in the name of this function means its energy efficiency and environmental friendliness , which are determined by the low level of electricity consumption during the drum cleaning process.

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

Turning on the Eco cleaning mode in a Samsung washing machine is not difficult; just press a couple of buttons and the process will start by itself.

Programs to help

After intensive soaking, the item is sent to the main wash to completely remove dirt. But for gentle and high-quality washing, you need to choose the right secondary program. Fortunately, on the dashboard of Samsung machines, modes are indicated not by icons, but by clear words.

Most washing machines have the following options:

cotton - suitable for white or colored linen made from the same material, and washing is ensured by high temperature up to 95 degrees, maximum spin and cycle duration up to 3 hours;
synthetics – selected for synthetic fabrics, continues for 2 hours at temperatures up to 60 degrees and high-speed spin;
delicate - for fragile and delicate fabrics that can be washed in less than an hour in water heated to 30-40 degrees and minimal spin;
manual – practically no different from the delicate program: 40 degrees, gentle spin, copious rinse;
wool – the mode is based on gentle and gentle washing, so the water heats up to 30 degrees, the engine accelerates smoothly, and the cycle lasts only 50 minutes;
children's - diapers and undershirts are washed at a temperature of 60-80 degrees to completely destroy bacteria, plus multi-stage rinsing is required to wash out the powder from the fibers (this mode is also suitable for allergy sufferers);

It is recommended to wash clothes in the “Children's Clothes” mode for people prone to allergic reactions.

fast - an advantage in accelerated washing, which lasts about 15-29 minutes (only for lightly soiled items, since complex stains cannot be washed in cold water in a short period of time);
daily - a special program for everyday items, underwear, pajamas, dressing gowns (gentle washing prevents clothes from quickly wearing out and losing their original appearance);
Intensive Eco - another fast mode, but with increased quality of washing due to special technology (the water temperature remains low, the cycle is short, but the speed does not affect the result);
Eco Buble is an option thanks to which the built-in generator mixes water with air and detergent, supplying active foam to the drum (thanks to the oxygen base, the powder becomes many times more effective, penetrates deeper into the fibers and quickly removes dirt from the fabric);
outerwear - turns on when washing items made from water-repellent materials (due to increased foaming, items are not only washed, but also retain their protective properties);
spin – starts if the items are not wrung out enough after the main wash (takes 4-5 minutes depending on the selected speed);
drain - can be turned on additionally if a breakdown occurs or you need to urgently empty the drum;
rinse+spin – selected when items were not rinsed enough after the main wash, there are stains or an unpleasant odor (the program lasts no more than 20 minutes);
Self-cleaning of the drum is an option that makes caring for the machine easier, as it includes a cycle for automatically cleaning the drum from fungus and germs (it takes an hour and a half when heated to 70 degrees).

With the help of intensive soaking from Samsung, you can forget about manual washing and entrust the cleaning of your clothes to active foam . This approach will allow you to remove even the most difficult stains faster, more efficiently and more carefully.

When is it necessary?

Samsung has introduced a special notification function into the interface of the latest models of its washing equipment, which will let its owners know about the need to clean the drum.

This function works very simply. A corresponding icon appears on the electronic display: a drum with an asterisk, and on the panel with buttons for switching operating modes of the washing machine, the light opposite “Eco Drum Cleaning” will light up. If at the moment you do not have enough time to run the cleaning program, it does not matter - you can postpone the process until a more appropriate time. After all, this is just a signal that your machine is slightly dirty and needs cleaning, and no breakdowns have occurred. Just keep this in mind. These alerts usually occur once a month, but their frequency primarily depends on the level of use of your washing machine.

The more often you use it, the faster it gets dirty, and accordingly, the more often you need to clean the drum of your washing device.

How to turn it on?

To clean the drum in a Samsung washing machine, you need to do the following:

press the “Power” button;
turn the mode switch (in the form of a wheel) and place it opposite the “Eco Drum Cleaning” mode – the outermost division on the right;
activate the function by clicking on the “Start” button;
The machine will start an autonomous cleaning mode, which means that you do not have to worry about setting the water temperature required for this procedure: Samsung washing equipment independently selects a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this. Using this function is very simple and pleasant, everything happens by itself and requires almost no intervention from you. 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, and at this time your home assistant will get herself in order and prepare for further effective washing of your laundry.

Differences between EcoBubble washing machines and other systems

Washing machines with EcoBubble technology incorporate advanced engineering achievements. The main differences are as follows:

inverter motor;
special drum design;
increased load of laundry;
front loading of things;
large loading hatch;
ceramic heating elements;
intelligent control.

Inverter motor

Washing machines with a bubble system are equipped with an inverter motor of the “Digital inverter motor” type. Samsung designers abandoned the belt and proposed combining the engine and drum into one system. In this design, the motor is directly attached to the drum shaft. This allows the system to be dynamically balanced.

The absence of additional mechanisms reduces the load on the engine. This protects the engine from premature wear.

Drum

This element of the EcoBubble washing machine has a special “Diamond drum” type design. The entire surface of the drum resembles the structure of a honeycomb. The recesses in the cells have a rectangular or wave-like shape. In the center of the recess there is a hole for water drainage.

Diamond drum

The special design of the Diamond drum improves the sliding of laundry during washing. Even with the longest process, things do not get tangled. The absence of protruding ribs reduces the physical impact on the fabric structure.

The smooth surface of the drum helps protect items from the formation of pills, snags and other damage.

Increased loading

Diamond drums have a maximum load capacity. The smallest ones are designed to load only 4.0 kg of dry laundry. Large drums can accommodate up to 12 kg of laundry. This factor is important when washing things in large families or when washing large items.

Loading hatch

In accordance with the safety instructions, there is no handle for opening on the hatch. It is securely hidden from prying eyes. Children will not be able to accidentally break or open the machine. Parents can appreciate this important detail.

Front loading

All models of Samsung EcoBubble washing machines have convenient front-loading of laundry. Due to the large diameter of the loading hatch, it is easy to load and unload laundry. In some models, a design feature of the hatch allows you to add items to the wash while the machine is running.

Intelligent Control

The dashboard has a power button, additional settings and a programmer. Among the many washing programs, it is worth highlighting “Washing Outerwear” and “Quick Wash”.

The first program will take care of preserving the water-repellent properties of outerwear. As a result of particularly careful washing, the internal structure of such fabrics is not damaged. The second program allows you to freshen things up in just 15 minutes.

Another convenient feature is “delay start”. Thanks to this useful function, you can schedule the start of washing at any convenient time. The Child Lock function will ensure the safety of the youngest family members.

EcoBubble washing machines are equipped with the advanced intelligent control function “Phase logic”. The machine is capable of automatically determining the volume of loaded laundry. Depending on the weight of the loaded laundry, the washing program, rinse duration and spin speed are automatically selected.

Another new feature is the “Smart Check” function. It allows you to diagnose and identify various errors in program settings using the appropriate application on your Android smartphone.

The “My Settings” function allows you to save your own washing parameters in the machine’s memory. Thanks to the touch screen, it is possible to make necessary changes to the preset programs.

Heating elements

Washing machines from Samsung with the EcoBubble function are distinguished by the high reliability of their heating elements. Unlike other manufacturers, the heating elements in these machines are made of ceramics.

To protect against scale, ceramic heating elements have a special double coating. Thanks to reliable protection against lime deposits, manufacturers guarantee uninterrupted operation of machines for 10 years.

Additional functions

In modern models of EcoBubble washing machines, the spin speed can reach 1600 rpm. To protect against vibrations and increased noise, the machines are equipped with the “wiarty plus” function.

The drum eco-cleaning function is completely new. The water heats up to 70 degrees within 1.5 hours. When the drum rotates quickly, the inner and outer surfaces of the drum are thoroughly cleaned.

The useful “Wolt Control” function allows you to tolerate power surges of up to 400 Volts.

If there is a power outage, the machine automatically stops working. This saves all the settings you have made. After the drops stop, the machine resumes the interrupted operation.

Selection of chemicals

However, what should those who do not have an autonomous drum cleaning function do in their washing machine? Such users will have to take care of their equipment themselves using various cleaning chemicals , which are manufactured by modern manufacturers in a wide range.

You just need to remember that when choosing a chemical for cleaning the drum of a washing machine, you need to pay attention not only to how quickly and effectively this product copes with the task, but also to its safety for your health. In addition, such products should not have a destructive effect on the parts of the washing machine.

When purchasing a cleaning product, carefully read the instructions and decide for what specific purpose this product is intended: it can be a comprehensive cleaning of the washing machine or just some part of it.

Among the most popular means for cleaning the drum of a washing machine are the following.
