Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the dispenser drawer.

Remove and clean drawer: Pull out the detergent drawer, press the release tab, and remove it completely. Rinse all compartments and siphon caps.
Clean housing: Use a small brush to clean the dispenser housing and water inlet holes above the drawer.
Use correct dosage: Do not exceed the max fill lines for detergent and softener.
Level washer: Ensure the washer is level so water flows correctly through the dispenser.

Washer's detergent drawer overflows or leaks water down the front.
