Possible Causes
Clogged detergent drawer or dispenser nozzles, Using too much detergent, Low water pressure to dispenser, Cold water only on certain cycles
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the detergent drawer for cleaning.
Steps to improve rinsing:
- Clean dispenser: Remove the detergent drawer and wash it under warm water, clearing all compartments and siphon caps. Clean the dispenser housing nozzles with a soft brush.
- Reduce detergent: Use the recommended amount of HE detergent based on load size and soil level.
- Check water flow: Start a cycle and observe water entering the dispenser. If flow is weak, clean inlet screens and ensure water pressure is adequate.
- Use extra rinse: Enable the extra rinse option for heavily soiled loads or sensitive skin.
When to stop: If residue persists despite these steps, there may be an internal dispenser or valve issue requiring service.
