Possible Causes

Blocked softener siphon cap, Clogged water jets above softener compartment, Low water pressure, Incorrect drawer assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer and turn off water before removing the drawer.

  • Clean drawer: Remove the detergent drawer and take off the softener siphon cap (usually a plastic insert). Clean thoroughly to remove residue.
  • Clean jets: Use a small brush or toothpick to clear the water jets above the softener compartment in the dispenser housing.
  • Reassemble correctly: Ensure the siphon cap is refitted properly; if missing or incorrectly fitted, the softener will not siphon out.
  • Check water pressure: Low pressure can prevent proper flushing of the compartment. Ensure inlet filters are clean.
