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.
