powder drawer Hygena Diplomat APM 8512

[admin]

Hello,

Any ideas as to how to remove the powder drawer to clean it on a Hygena Diplomat APM 8512 washing machine? The previous owner of the kitchen forgot to give me the manual.

Many thanks

Hi sooz
Not sure of that particular model but most dispenser drawers will come out if you either lift the centre of the extended drawer up whilst holding the sides down…in other words gently flexing the middle of the dawer up and over a catch underneath, or occasionally you may need to press the centre of the extended drawer down on the middle. In the latter case you will see where to push on the top near the back of the drawer.
Even rarer, you simply need to grasp with both hands and continue pulling until the drawer comes right out.
As long as you don’t use extreme force then you should be ok!

When you’ve got it out, you could usefully clean the top of the box inside which will stop the jets from blocking 😉

The drawer on an 8512 just pulls out although it doesn’t seem that way! They tend to pop out with a nasty cracking sound which makes you think you’ve broken it. Pull it out until it’s fully extended and you meet resistance. Then place a hand at each side as far back as you can and start to pull firmly – it sometimes helps to give a slight up & down motion as you do this. Please note the word slight.
It really is a horrible one to get out. There’s no central button or catch to press on this particular model – you just have to give it a tug.

would suggest holding the draw itself rather than the handle on the front as this usualy breaks off.
