    Here I am again. It’s leaking again, I have raised it so the front is higher than the back, and turned the water pressure down a bit more, but it’s still leaking form the dispenser drawer.
    It leaks when the water goes into the dispenser for the fabric conditioner, I waited and watched while the machine was on a wash, and as soon as there was some leaking I quickly opened the drawer and saw the water going into the fabric conditioner section of the drawer. So now I know exactly when it leaks, but how to stop it?

    Have you taken out the soap draw and thourougly cleaned the softener syphon,take it apart and clean all holes you can see.
    before you put it back re assemble, fill the softener dispenser over the sink and see if it syphons out until no water is left,if it doesn’t check your cleaning.
    jets which shoot the water down can become crudded up so something like a stiff washing up brush can help clean the roof of the soap drawer.
    Sump hose could be blocked too,doesit spin well? does it pong a bit when not used for a day as this can be a sign that stuff is trapped in the sump hose.
    You could also need a soap draw if this doesnt cure it.

    Thnaks for your reply. I have cleaned the soap drawer and around it inside, and the roof of the drawer. I also filled the drawer over the sink and it does syphon out. It is spinning fine, and doesn’t smell.
    So looks like a new drawer is needed, I will get onto Hotpoint as it’s still under warranty.

    Original thread is HERE

    And also HERE

    Its better to keep it to one thread daisychain, it can lead to confusion with different people answering different threads on exactly the same problem.

    I will lock the later threads, please use your initial thread for further posts. 😀 8)
