Verifiedpbmfixs :
Hello, and thanks for your question!!
pbmfixs :
Is the detergent slot opening up all the way??
Customer:
Yes
pbmfixs :
hello??
Customer:
Hello
pbmfixs :
Does the compartment open up all the way?
Customer:
Yes it does
pbmfixs :
How long has it done this and how long have you been using the same type detergent??
Customer:
Its been doing this for about 2-3 months and Ive used different detergents
pbmfixs :
This will normally happen in 2 different situations
Customer:
ok
pbmfixs :
#1, the washer is older and the bottom screen needs to be cleaned out so better waterflow can happen. If the water is restricted then the pump will not be able to put out enough presure to clean as it should. This includes spraying into the detergent compartment.
pbmfixs :
#2 The spray arms may be clogged up and not letting a good flow of water get through.
pbmfixs :
How old is the washer?
Customer:
Its not that old, about 2 years
pbmfixs :
Check the screen at the bottom of the washer and clean it out. It probably has junk in it. These should be cleaned out at least every 2-3 months or more.
pbmfixs :
Also, if it is clean, Run a dishwaser cleaner through it with no dishes in it to clean the washer
pbmfixs :
And I always tell customers to use the GEL detergents beacause they disolve better
Customer:
I'll try that. I have being using Finish tablets and more recently a powder. Is the Finish tablet a gel detergent
pbmfixs :
Any tablet is a solid
pbmfixs :
Get the gel packs. you will know they are gell because it will be soft
Customer:
Ok. thanks for your help.
