The washing powder and fabric conditioner dispenser drawer on my Zanussi ZJ1217 washing machine doesn't work.
I've used washing tablets that go in the drum for ages now but I'd like to use fabric conditioner too. Comfort do a rangeof fabric conditioner capsules but I like to use eco friendly and you can't get any to go directly in the drum.
I've cleaned it out and made sure its not blocked.
any ideas?
I have a Bosch front loader and the fabric conditioner will not empty I have cleaned it and still no joyI have a Bosch front loader and the fabric conditioner will not empty I have cleaned it and still no joy

I had the same problem, machine not taking fabric conditioner.
So removed top of machine 2 screws and with a bit of wiggling dispenser drawer whilst holding down the drum easily slipped out after undoing a few screws and a small rubber hose.
Once out just a matter of separating the dispenser draw via 10 small clips. A good soak and scrub and l blasted it through with a hose pipe jet. Reversal of above and now works a treat.

Hi, my zanussi fle1216w is skipping the fabric softener stage of the
cycle. I've cleaned the dispensing drawer and the surrounding areas,
even put on a boil wash in case somethihg was gunge up or visits the Zanussi Owners Manual.
fabric conditioner is dispensed during rinse cycle, if it does not work then either, try pouring hot water into dispenser, as conditioner tends to get goopie when dry, thus may have clogged up
Washing Machine has started to empty the Fabric Conditioner high water or blokage in draw

Sometimes the drawer gets blocked with congealed fabric conditioner and or old soap powder, try removing the drawer and giving it a good wash. An old toothbrush is useful to get in the small areas. To remove the drawer: Pull the drawer out as far as possible, there is a small depression on the left hand side at the top of the drawer, about the size of a fingertip press the depression to release the drawer, and pull the drawer out. To relocate, line the drawer up, and place the long thin piece of plastic on the left hand side in the corresponding slot in the top of the drawer opening, you might have to kneel down to see it and slide the drawer in, you might have to press the depression again to pushe it home.
take out the drawer that the powder and conditioner goes in. the conditioner spout to allow the liquid to empty from the drawer will be blocked with a mixture of powder and conditioner. clear it thru with a sharp screwdriver or similar and wash under the tap. replace back in place should empty fine then. hope this helps.
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
