Household appliances make a person's life easier, but only until some kind of malfunction makes itself known.

Most often, breakdowns occur because users do not read the operating instructions for the equipment to the end, and the habits of the owners also play a role.

Here are some habits that can cause your dishwasher to fail prematurely.

1. Leftover food

Large food scraps should be thrown into the trash can. But there really is no need to rinse the dishes.

2. Wash everything

Not all dishes are suitable for washing in such conditions. Firstly, you can ruin an expensive set. For example, the pattern or gilding on the porcelain will peel off.

Secondly, you can accidentally break glasses made of thin glass, the fragments of which can damage the equipment.

3. Salt for dishwasher

Many people think that you can wash dishes even if the indicator about the lack of salt in the tank is on. But salt is needed to soften the water and improve the quality of washing. In addition, it protects household appliances from scale.

4. Filter

After each cycle, you need to rinse the filter and remove food residues. This will improve the quality of dishwashing and extend the service life of the equipment.
