Possible Causes

Blocked dispenser outlet channels, Excessive water pressure, Incorrect detergent type causing foaming, Drawer not fully inserted

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
