SOURCE: Fabric conditioner still in draw after wash cycle

This is usually a matter of pulling the drawer right out (it is designed to let you do this) and taking it to bits (it's designed for this too). Most front-loaders have a bit of a design weakness in that the bit that gets blocked with conditioner isn't immediately obvious without a little bit of prior dismantling. Once you get the top off the drawer, you'll almost certainly find the siphon tube gummed up with old conditioner. Clean this up under a hot tap, then reassemble and all should be well. A.

SOURCE: Fabric conditioner drawer

Try cleaning inside the the machine where the soap dispenser drawer fits into. Sometimes this builds up with lots of soap and fabric conditioner residue and stops the conditioner from going through.
Take the drawer back out and look inside where it goes to see if there is a build up of soap etc...
hope this helps

SOURCE: washing machine will not draw fabric conditioner

The Solution: Top up the softener tray with extra water so that it is up to the 'max level' mark.

The softener tray works by a siphon action. Thus, the reason the tray does not empty is that not enough water is added by the machine during the softening cycle, so that the machine does not completely fill the softening tray; only when the softening tray is filled beyond the 'max' mark does the siphon action works. A partially filled tray will never empty - it's impossible due to the siphon.

The reason that not enough water is added to the tray during the softening action is that the water inlet of the machine is partial blocked (you can try to fix that) but it is simpler to just added more water to the conditioner tray.

Thus, the easiest way to ensure that the softener tray empties every time (after adding the softener to the softener tray of course) is to top up the softener tray with extra water, top it up to the 'max level' line (keep a bottle of water by the machine). That way, even if only a little water is added to the softener tray during the softening cycle by the machine it is enough to trigger the siphon action and the tray will empty!

Works for me every time, and no need to remove any parts - I used to take the tray out, clean it, scrub the outlet holes that fill the tray etc, but they used to gum up again quite quickly!

Hope that helps

How to clean after removal of the dispenser draw, and clean the underneath, and the hole were the liguid is pulled through, as this is clogging up with black water soap sludge. Bosch EXXCELL 1200

I usually hold the whole drawer under the tap and rinse it out thoroughly. If its the middle section (fabric softener) causing a problem just pull up the little flap and make sure the little pipe underneath is clear - it works by syphonic action and the syphon won't start if it is clogged with gunk.

Dose not take conditioner from draw on rinse cycle

Remove drawer from dispenser housing, and thoroughly clean all parts of it, removing any pieces inside the drawer, and again clean thoroughly.
Check to see if the sypon tube is clear in the conditioner compartment.
In the top oif the compartment, look to see if you can see any holes, and poke them clear with a piece of wire or similar.
This should solve the problem.

The conditioner tray does not drain on my Bosch Exxcel 1200 Express. I have cleaned all I can see as best I can but have not solved the problem. Anyone know the the remedy please?

Hello,

Please remove the soap drawer and take off the top part of the conditioner section. A tube called the syphon tube will now be visible.

Wash out all of the conditioner residue from the draw and the top part which you removed, not forgetting the syphon tube and the part this fits into. These 2 parts need to be absolutely clean for the syphoning system to work correctly and is the only way the conditioner and water will flow out of the conditioner section of the draw. I always use my garden hose (set on high pressure) for this.

Reassemble the draw, fill it up with washing powder/liquid and conditioner (ensuring not to over fill the conditioner section) and push the draw fully back into the machine, then try a wash to see whether the conditioner has gone from the draw after the wash cycle completes.

If the conditioner is still in the draw then the problem is most likely a blockage in the upper part of the dispenser, where the water comes from. Remove the soap draw from the dispenser as before and with a stiff nylon bristled brush give the roof of the dispenser a good scrub clean to remove all soap and conditioner residue. As this residue may be very hard you may need to use some thin stiff wire to clear out the holes. Also, ensure that the front of the dispenser is clean along with the front of the draw, as the draw needs to be able to be pushed fully home.

Hopefully this will resolve your problem, if not please let me know.

Good luck.

Best regards,

Ian
