Use this guide to remove, clean, and refit the dispenser drawer on a Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine. The dispenser drawer, also called the dispensing drawer or detergent drawer, holds washing powder and conditioner and can fill with residue, residue, or blockages over time. This guide was written for a Hotpoint Aquarius model and should also apply to similar Indesit washing machines, though small details may vary by model.

Squeeze the release clip slightly toward the left to release it.
-
-
手順3 Remove the dispenser drawer
-
Hold the release clip toward the left and pull the drawer straight toward you.
-
Use a short, firm pull if the drawer doesn't slide free right away.
-
Keep the drawer level so it slides off the runner instead of twisting.
-
Check the plastic clip at the back of the removed drawer.
-
-
手順4 Clean the dispenser cavity
-
Clean inside the dispenser drawer cavity while the drawer is removed.
-
Remove washing powder, conditioner residue, residue, and any blockage you can safely reach.
-
-
手順5 Clean the dispenser drawer
-
Clean the removed dispenser drawer before refitting it.
-
Remove the small tray in the conditioner compartment if residue is trapped underneath it.
-
-
手順6 Align the drawer for refitting
-
Check the small blue arrow connector on the drawer.
-
Slide the blue arrow connector into the matching groove.
-
Line up the top of the drawer with the upper runner and groove.
-
Check underneath the drawer to make sure it lines up with the lower runner and isn't offset.
-
Aim the rear plastic clip toward the metal rod at the back of the dispenser opening.
-
-
手順7 Clip the drawer into place
-
Push the drawer inward along the runners until the rear plastic clip snaps onto the metal rod.
-
Lift the right-hand side slightly while pushing if the clip doesn't catch.
-
Open and close the dispenser drawer to test it.
-
-
The dispenser drawer should open and close smoothly after refitting. If it feels stiff, remove it and check the top groove, lower runner, blue arrow connector, and rear clip alignment again. Repair didn't go as planned? Ask our Answers community for help.
