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.
