    Removing the green insert often helps.

    Chris, what does that green insert actually do?

    The green insert is the syphon that fits into a slot on the main drawer for liquid detergent. It is fitted in the front of the drawer for storage purposes.

    As Chris says removing it will stop most leaks.

    When you say remove it, do you mean from its storage postion?

    Can’t see how it makes a difference…

    If you remove the drawer front and put appliance onto a rinse you should see a small drip running down the green liquid siphon that is slotted into front of drawer, if it is leaking you can either change the outer drawer, try cleaning the jets above the conditioner compartment or go for the easy fix which is to throw the green siphon in the bin. If you take the siphon out it will still drip but the water will run with the contour of the drawer and go back inside the dispenser body.
