Steps:

  1. Turn off the washing machine and unplug it before removing the drawer or cleaning the dispenser cavity.
  2. Keep water and cleaning cloths away from the control panel and power cord.
  3. Locate the dispenser drawer at the top-left of the front control panel.
  4. Pull the dispenser drawer straight out gently until it stops.
  5. Find the blue MAX level indicator inside the drawer area.
  6. Press down gently on the blue MAX level indicator while pulling the drawer out of the machine.
  7. Do not force the drawer if it catches, because the stop tab may still be engaged.
  8. Pop the blue level indicator out of the dispenser drawer.
  9. Removing this insert gives better access to the underside of the drawer for cleaning.
  10. Set the blue level indicator somewhere safe so it doesn't get lost.
  11. Use an brush to scrub the dispenser drawer inside and out.
  12. Scrub away detergent powder, conditioner residue, and any built-up gunge.
  13. Do not reuse the brush for dental care after cleaning the washing machine.
  14. Clean the area under the removed blue level indicator before refitting it.
  15. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe inside the dispenser drawer cavity.
  16. Wipe the surfaces you can reach without pushing loose residue deeper into the machine.
  17. Do not use a brush inside the cavity, because it can fall down the hole and get trapped inside the washing machine.
  18. Refit the blue level indicator into the dispenser drawer if you removed it.
  19. Line up the dispenser drawer with the grooves in the cavity.
  20. Push the drawer straight in until it sits fully home.
  21. Open the washing machine door and inspect the rubber seal inside the doorway.
  22. Use a damp, soapy cloth to clean dirt and residue from the door rubber.
  23. Check that the drainage holes in the rubber seal aren't blocked.
  24. Plug the washing machine back in after the cleaning areas are dry enough to use safely.
  25. Run the hottest wash program with no clothes inside to flush out the washing machine.
  26. Select a 90 °C wash program or the Drum Clean option if the machine has one.
