i own an hotpoint aquarius washing machine but i get a buuild up of mould where the water enters the powder dispenser. i had the same problem on the previous washing machine (bosch). That is why i purchased a new one.
Any advice would be welcome as it’s driving my wife mad.Re: Mould in powder dispenser
Thanks for that but the residues are not powder/conditioner, as my wife cleans it once a week, but mould but not on the draw but actually inside where the water enters the comparment.
Re: Mould in powder dispenser
The only real cure is bleach in solution and scrub it with an old toothbrush or something that can get in there to the jets if it’s that that’s the issue. Basically it’s a bacteriological build up, that’s what mould and black marks are, so it has to be either in the water or just the environment really.

Re: Mould in powder dispenser
i have the same problem which is odd…
but i was told.. dont know if this is true but because its only a cold inlet and heats up.. which causes damp i dno.. also the water hardness
Confused me.. but its not a major issue in ours.. just a little splog right at the backRe: Mould in powder dispenser
For years we had the problem of black mould inside both the drawer and the compartment that houses the drawer of our Bosch WFK 2200.
I spent many hours cleaning the drawer under the hot tap and cleaning the compartment with a toothbrush. I also used bleach spray on the drawer and in the compartment.
Finally, I found the answer. After a good clean, we stopped using Comfort Blue and Comfort Easy Iron conditioner. The mould has never returned.
Fo the full story, look for my last posting on 20July07.
