How to remove the LG powder tray from the washing machineYou need to maintain your home assistant carefully in order to enjoy its benefits for as long as possible. Comprehensive care of the device includes regular washing of the detergent tray. To do this, you need to pull out the powder tray in the LG washing machine correctly and then put it back in place.

Learning to pull out the powder drawer

Although, with due care, removing the powder container is not so difficult, you still need to take into account some nuances. Firstly, if you simply pull the drawer towards you, the auto-protection system will work and the dispenser will seem to jam. Secondly, if you pull too hard after this, you risk damaging something in your SM, so proceed as follows:

  • first do everything as planned: pull the tray towards you until it stops;
  • stop pulling, but do not release your grip;
  • press the tab above the middle cell of the dispenser;
  • immediately after this, the box will be easily removed from the niche, remaining in your hand.

Returning the tray to its place is not difficult; no special actions need to be performed. Just make sure the element fits into place. For this purpose, special guides are made on its sides and on the sides of the niche. Having done this procedure once, you will then easily repeat it again and again.

How to wash the container?

If you treat your SM conscientiously and decide to wash the tray at the slightest contamination, it will be enough to rinse it with warm water. The remaining powder will be washed off instantly under the pressure of water.But if during the period of operation mold has settled in the cells and plaque has hardened, then much more work is needed.

  1. Take a regular sponge with the hard side. Dilute baking soda and water in equal proportions in a glass. Pour the powder into the drawer and leave for a while, then take a sponge and rub the walls thoroughly with the hard side until all the mold comes off and is washed off.
  2. Generously pour baking soda directly into the container and fill it all with a 9% acetic acid solution, mix well. A chemical reaction will occur between the components, as a result of which not a trace of dirt will remain.wash the powder tray
  3. Another remedy with vinegar is the usual mixture of the same 9% acid and boiling water. You need to take out a tray, pour boiling water (1 liter) and add 200 grams of vinegar. Leave it all for a long time (at least 6 hours). After this, stubborn dirt can be easily removed with a regular washcloth or sponge.
  4. Lemon acid. To use it to clean the tray, just heat the substance and leave it in the dispenser for a while. Plaque and mold will easily come off and can be washed off with water.

Attention! In order not to neglect the condition of the tray, you need, firstly, to ensure that after each wash there is no powder left in the dispenser, and all the moisture from it evaporates. To do this, either wipe the cells dry with a napkin or rag, or open the tray and let it air out. The mold problem will no longer be so acute.

Preventing tray contamination

In addition to the above methods to maintain the CM in optimal condition, there are several others, which also contribute to less intense contamination of the powder receptacle:

  • install a filter to clean the water entering the SM;
  • buy proven detergents;
  • leave the hatch door and tray open for 20-30 minutes after each wash.

If you carry out preventative maintenance every 10 washing cycles with your home assistant, then the quality of your washing will please you for a long time.
