Possible Causes

Clogged detergent drawer jets, Overdosing detergent, Very cold inlet water, Low water level due to sensor calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the detergent drawer for cleaning.

  • Step 1 – Clean drawer and housing: Remove the detergent drawer and wash it thoroughly. Use a brush to clean the water jets and channels in the housing.
  • Step 2 – Adjust detergent: Reduce detergent quantity and use high-efficiency products. Consider liquid detergent for cold washes.
  • Step 3 – Extra rinse: Enable the extra rinse option on your Essentials model if available, especially for large or heavily soiled loads.
  • Step 4 – Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water flow to the machine; low pressure can reduce rinsing effectiveness.
