A dishwasher is an amazing machine to have in your kitchen. It helps you clean your dishes just by pushing buttons. But have you ever wondered what happens inside your dishwasher while it’s doing its job? If you’re curious about the process, here’s how a dish washing machine works.
A Series of Steps
A dishwasher is basically a robot that does the things it’s programmed with. All you need to do is just put the load of dirty dishes, add a certain amount of soap or detergent, set the washing cycles, and then push the start button and the dishwasher will do the rest.
The rest of the process are adding water, heating the water to the correct temperature, opens the detergent dispenser at the right time, shoots water into the dishes to clean them, collects and drains the dirty water with food debris, sprays water again to rinse the dishes, drains again, and then the dish washing machine will use heat to dry the clean dishes.
How to Make Sure It’s Working Properly
Humans need to take part in order to make sure a dishwasher is working properly. First, you shouldn’t use regular dish soap, but a special detergent or soap meant for dishwashers. Second, don’t overload the dishwasher, there should be enough room inside the dishwasher so the water jets can spray water evenly.
Next, to avoid the dishes to nest together and the water couldn’t reach every part of your dirty dishes, try to separate dishes with identical shapes. You should also use your dishwasher when the water pressure is high, usually at night. With the correct water pressure, a dishwasher would work better and be more effective. Do these, and your dish washing machine will last a long time.
