Steps:

  1. Turn off the washer dryer and unplug it before working around the drawer opening.
  2. Make sure no wash program is running before removing the drawer.
  3. Locate the dispenser drawer at the top left corner of the front panel.
  4. This guide uses a Hoover washer dryer with a blue drawer release button, and other models may have small differences.
  5. Pull the dispenser drawer straight out until it stops.
  6. Press the blue button inside the drawer down to release the retaining clip.
  7. Hold the blue button down and pull the drawer out of the machine.
  8. If the drawer doesn't release, check that it is fully extended, keep the blue button pressed down, and avoid forcing it past the stop.
  9. Use a brush and hot, soapy water to scrub the drawer.
  10. Clean both the inside and outside surfaces, including any mold, residue, detergent residue, and conditioner residue.
  11. Use a brush reserved for cleaning, not one used for brushing teeth.
  12. Keep scrubbing with hot, soapy water until the drawer passages look clear.
  13. Look inside the dispenser drawer cavity before refitting the drawer.
  14. Use a cloth to wipe away any residue or residue inside the cavity.
  15. Don't push a brush into the cavity, because it can fall through the opening and get stuck inside the machine.
  16. Keep hold of the cloth so it doesn't slip into the machine.
  17. Line the drawer up with the grooves in the drawer opening.
  18. Push the drawer gently into the machine until it is fully seated.
  19. Don't force the drawer if it catches, because forcing it can damage the runners or clip.
  20. If the drawer won't close, remove it, realign it with the grooves, and push it in again.
  21. Pull the drawer out a short distance and push it back in to check that it slides smoothly and closes fully.
  22. Plug the washer dryer back in after the drawer is installed.
  23. Run a 90 °C wash program or the Drum Clean option with no laundry.
  24. Make sure the drawer stays fully seated during the program.
  25. If detergent or conditioner residue reappears on clothes, repeat the drawer and cavity cleaning.
