How to Prevent Over-Foaming in a Beko Washing Machine
If you’ve noticed foam coming out of your washing machine, it’s a common issue that can
be caused by using too much detergent or incorrect settings. Follow these steps to prevent
over-foaming and ensure your laundry runs smoothly.
Step 1: Use the Correct Sections in the Detergent Drawer
When adding detergent and softener, always place them in their respective compartments
within the detergent drawer. Incorrect placement can lead to over-foaming during the
wash cycle.
Step 2: Add Detergent to the Prewash Section When Using Prewash
If you’ve selected a cycle with prewash, make sure to add detergent to the prewash
compartment in the drawer. This ensures proper distribution and prevents excess foam.
Step 3: Measure the Right Amount of Detergent
It’s essential to use the correct amount of detergent based on your load size. Follow the
detergent manufacturer's instructions, or use a measuring cup to avoid adding too much,
as excess detergent can result in over-foaming.
Step 4: Avoid Using Too Much Detergent
Excessive detergent leads to excessive bubbles and potential overflow from the detergent
drawer. Always keep in mind that more detergent doesn’t mean cleaner clothes—too
much will create problems with over-foaming and potentially damage your machine.
Step 5: Monitor and Adjust Detergent Based on Water Hardness
If you live in an area with soft water, use even less detergent than recommended, as softer
water requires a smaller amount for effective cleaning. Adjust your detergent quantity
accordingly to avoid foam build-up.
By following these steps, you can prevent your Beko washing machine from producing
excessive foam, helping it run more efficiently and keeping your laundry routine hassle-
free.
