Hi, this machine is about 7 years old and work fine, except in the last couple of weeks it no longer takes in the fabic softner from the rinse draw. Apart from that everything is OK. Any idea on what's wrong?

-   my machine is also doing this and if I put my wash powder/tablets in the drawer it wont take it either.I have to put it direct into the machine.
I have taken it to bits and cleaned it but to be honest it wasn`t that bad no blockages that I can see.

-   I have somewhat of the same issue. Though the fabric softner compartment is empty, the system empties the fabric softner during the 1st cycle killing any suds I have. Any ideas?-   MikeyV

soak the fabric softner in HOT water. that should loosen the dried caked up softner. if the cup is removable, remove and soak in hot water
