Possible Causes

Blocked dispenser jets, Build-up of detergent in drawer, Low water pressure, Faulty inlet valve channel to dispenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply.

  • Remove and clean drawer: Pull out the dispenser drawer and wash it thoroughly under hot water, removing all residue.
  • Clean dispenser housing: Use a brush to clean the water jets and channels above the drawer. Remove any mold or scale.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water flow to the machine and clean inlet filters.
  • Inlet valve channels: Some models have separate valves for prewash, main wash, and softener. If one channel is not opening, test the valve coils and replace the valve assembly if necessary.
