Possible Causes

Blocked dispenser nozzles, Low water pressure to dispenser valve, Drawer not fully inserted, Build-up of detergent residue in drawer channels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the top cover if needed.

  • Clean drawer: Remove the detergent drawer completely. Soak and scrub all compartments and siphon caps.
  • Clean housing: Use a brush to clean the water inlet holes above the drawer cavity.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure taps are fully open and inlet filters are clean.
  • Refit correctly: Slide the drawer back in fully until it clicks.

If the issue persists, the dispenser inlet valve or housing may need inspection.
