Detergent drawer overflows with water or detergent during filling.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close water taps before removing the drawer.

Step-by-step checks:

• Clean drawer and housing: Remove the drawer and wash all compartments. Use a brush to clean the housing and outlet channels leading to the tub.
• Check water jets: Clean the small holes above the drawer that spray water into the compartments.
• Reduce pressure: If household pressure is very high, partially close the tap or fit a pressure reducer.
• Use correct detergent: Use low-suds HE detergent and do not exceed the maximum fill lines.

When to call a technician: If overflow persists despite cleaning and correct use, the inlet valve may be overfilling the drawer and should be checked professionally.
