How can I open detergent drawer, opens about 20mm & won't come out any further

Must be chocked with powder hot water should disolve it.

Hello sir

1. Open the detergent drawer.
2. Press the release lever (A) on the inside of the detergent drawer and pull the detergent drawer out at the same time.

Detergent dispenser is clogged or blocked off,check if there is something blocking the opening or the drawer,try removing the drawer and cleaning the drawer and trays and check the opening for any detergent that may be hardened and blocking it off, especially if you are using powdered detergent. Hope this helps!

Hi

Try disconnecting power from wall for a few minutes and this should reset the machine. Make sure this is done after or before you start a washing cycle. Most electronic washers can be reset by removing the power cord from the wall and allow upto 10 mins to disengage memory and this might reset the drawer mechanism

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Error DDo means dispenser drawer open. There is a little magnet attached to the right hand side of the detergent drawer which activates a reed switch to "tell" the machine that the drawer is closed. That magnet might have moved from it's place and that's why you are getting error ddo. magnet is part key number 51. Pull the drawer out and check on the handle part for a magnet. When the drawer is closed the magnet activates a switch in the console that tells the control the detergent drawer is closed. Please check this link for details(part #51)--

Detergent goes in the drum with the clothing, fabric softener in the middle of the agitator, the drawer is for delayed start if using soap powder

Hi, well you we need to check the ribbon cable in the door lining to make sure that none of the cables have been broken with the movement of the door. If they are fine then you should replace the dispenser unit if you are getting 240v to the dispenser solinoid.
Get back if you have further problems...................?

The soap dispenser drawer is supposed to open during the cycle. Try first to understand if the drawer is opening or not during cycle.

If the drawer is not opening, then check if the opening mechanism is stuck, if it is blocked by dirt and soap, if it is broken, or if something, for examble a basket too close to dispenser drawer is preventing the drawer from opening.

Some dishwasher works only with powder, in that case indications are given on the owners manual.

If the drawer opens and the table, or powder is still staying stuck in the drawer, then that means that the spray does not have enough power to solve the tablet.
In that case check spray arms and impeller pump.Also check water temperature.

If the problem is also happening with powder, then it is probably a drawer not opening on cycle.
