Washing clothes is a simple and pleasant procedure that does not take much time. But this was not always the case. Many of us remember the times when, instead of automatic washing machines, inconvenient semi-automatic devices or even hand washing were used. That is why any breakdown of a washing machine is a big problem that any sane user wants to avoid. In this article we will talk about foam formation during washing, its dangers, as well as the unique technology of the German brand Miele.
Washing machine: control this, control that
What I love about modern washing machines is that they control everything.
The devices are equipped with all sorts of sensors and indicators in such quantity, as if they are saying: don’t worry about anything, friend, we are monitoring everything. And they really are watching! They will weigh the laundry, calculate how much water and detergents are needed to wash it, and how long it needs to be washed, they will adjust everything themselves, all you have to do is press a button. The more sophisticated the model, the more factors will be taken into account - some even determine the degree of soiling of the laundry.
Safety first
Two functions are worth mentioning separately: foam control and imbalance control. They are very common, even the very budget model Indesit IWUC 4105 has this same foam control.
They poured too much powder, added washing gel, and then foam came out literally from everywhere and even got into the drain hose - is this a familiar situation? Surely a friend. And sad, because the puddle of foam on the floor needs to be eliminated, the machine needs to be cleaned, and then the laundry still needs to be washed.
Foam control prevents such unfortunate situations as in the picture above. The method is simple: if the detergent foams too actively, the device drains some of the water, adds new, non-soapy water, and continues the cycle.
With most good modern washing machines, for example, Siemens WS12T540OE or LG F2J5HS6W, foam control is combined with imbalance control.
An imbalance occurs if you load things of different weights and formats into the tank: for example, sheets, duvet covers and thin small T-shirts. The uneven distribution of things inside the drum leads to the fact that the machine “jumps” on the bathroom floor during washing and spinning, vibrating and making more noise. And it also fails faster, because the parts wear out due to vibration.
Imbalance control is designed to correct this. If the laundry in the drum is not distributed evenly enough, the machine corrects this by reverse rotation of the drum.
Does your washing machine have imbalance and foam control?

How does foam control work in washing machines?
I mean, how exactly is this technically implemented, how is accuracy achieved, etc.?
I love experimenting with the washing machine with my child. I put the crap in there, inflated to the fullest extent of the drum, and it could not finish the washing cycle, and it washed and washed in an extremely mysterious mode for more than 3 hours, until I forcibly stopped it. It seems that the stupid developer was not ready for such simple options.
I suspect that the glitches were caused by the foam control, but I can’t figure out how.
in washing machines there is only maximum protection against children, but it is useless to invent protection against fools, fools are so inventive.
First, read the instructions:
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been supervised or instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
If something is fun and joyful, then you need to do it, and not read the instructions. ))
Try it yourself, you'll be hooked.
You can start with the microwave, there’s a lot of joy there. )) You can start by obtaining plasma. It’s true that the stoves consume a lot of money, you need to be mentally prepared so as not to darken your joy.
I remember as a child, at my grandmother’s in the village, local boys invited me - Let’s go to school to break glass! - For what? - they ring so beautifully!
Threat, after reading the lame, I was finally convinced of the vital nuclear-free status for Russia, without this the Gassians would just kill happily.
Well done, what if you lock the iron in the refrigerator and turn both on full
By the way, what happens if you put hand washing powder in the machine?
everyone thinks that the washing machine sucks then
