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.
