How To Remove And Clean The Detergent Drawer In The Front Load Washing Machine
Cleaning The Detergent Drawer
The Detergent Drawer (aka Dispenser) should be cleaned to prevent detergent, bleach, and softner build up. If or when build up occurs, cleaning performance, odor, and leakage issues will occur.
Removing and Cleaning the Detergent Drawer
Important: All parts of the detergent drawer can be washed in a dishwasher on the top rack. Do not dry in the dishwasher, as the heating process can damage the plastic.
To remove and clean the detergent drawer, follow the steps below:
1. Press and hold the button on the inside of the dispenser while pulling out and lifting up on the drawer.
