Possible Causes

Blocked dispenser nozzles, Clogged dispenser drawer, Low water pressure, Faulty water inlet valve channel to dispenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the dispenser if you will be using water near electrical parts.

  • Remove and clean drawer: Pull out the detergent drawer, press the release tab, and remove it completely. Wash under warm water to remove caked detergent and softener.
  • Clean housing: Use a small brush to clean the water jets and channels in the dispenser housing.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure the inlet tap is fully open and household water pressure is adequate.
  • Test fill: Run a short cycle and observe whether water flows properly into the drawer compartments. If not, the inlet valve section feeding the drawer may be partially blocked and require replacement.
