Is it possible to put the tablet at the bottom of the dishwasher?

According to the instructions, multifunctional dishwasher tablets must be loaded into the detergent dispenser compartment. However, some machines have a problem that the compartment lid does not open at the right time, the capsule remains dry and washing is done simply in water, without adding any composition. What to do in this situation?

The ideal option is to immediately repair the PMM. But is it possible to load detergent into the bottom of the chamber before repairing the device? Will this be of any use? We will also tell you about the composition of dishwasher tablets and the principle of their action.

Is there any use for the tablet at the bottom of the washing chamber?

Of course, if the lid of the detergent dispenser does not open in time, then there is no other option but to put the capsule at the bottom of the hopper. You can do this, but there will be little benefit from it. A 3 in 1 tablet loaded directly into the working chamber will dissolve very quickly and will not give the expected effect during the main washing process.

The tablet will begin to dissolve during the pre-wash stage. All cleaning components that are included in the composition will be released in advance and then washed down the drain. And when the main cycle begins, the hopper will contain plain water with a low concentration of detergent.

The effect of a tablet at the bottom of the washing chamber will be two times weaker than that of a capsule loaded into a PMM dispenser.

If there is no other option, then you can increase the effectiveness of the tablet loaded onto the bottom of the working chamber. It is necessary to run a program that does not include a pre-wash phase.In this case, the capsule will also quickly dissolve, but the water will not drain into the sewer, but will be used for the main cycle.

What if you don’t add any funds at all?

Any household appliance must be used according to the instructions. Dishwasher manufacturers warn that it is impossible to operate the machine without special regenerating salt and detergent. Why is it necessary to add these compounds?

Regenerating salt protects the dishwasher from the formation of scale and limescale.

It is allowed to use PMM without salt in regions where tap water is soft. In other cases, salt crystals will be needed to soften hard water. This will prevent the formation of scale on the parts of the device.

If you use PMM without detergent, then several scenarios are possible:

• the dishes will be washed well;
• the quality of washing will be satisfactory;
• the cutlery will remain dirty.

Washing dishes without powder, gel or tablets is a lottery. If the cutlery is only slightly dirty, then, in principle, hot water will do the job “alone.” However, in most cases, the expected effect will not be obtained - the dishes will remain with traces of fat and food residues.

Each user decides for himself which form of detergent to use. These can be powders, dishwasher gels or multifunctional tablets. It is much more convenient to use capsules - one piece is designed for one washing cycle

The description of tablets for PMM is on the packaging of the product. It describes in detail what components are included and how they work.For example, the capsules contain enzymes to dissolve fats and protein contaminants, as well as regenerating salt and rinse aid to make dishes shine.
