Pull the green fingy out of the front of the drawer – that stops it most of the time.

Re: whirlpool AWM219
Have lost count of the number of leaking soap dispensers on the Whirpool AWM / AWG range.
The solution is to fit a new soap tray and dispenser housing, this definately rectifies the problem. This way you will not be called back in a fortnights time for yet more leaks !
Re: whirlpool AWM219
Thanks for your replies gents.
Squadman I will fit new parts as you suggested as I am also sure this is the answer. many thanks. John.Re: whirlpool AWM219
Rocker, there’s a name ?
When you look at the appliance are there slight surface rust type marks or paint blemishes around the top part of the front panel underneath or near the dispenser unit.
Another sign is water/detergent run marks down the front of the front panel,
Water stains on the left hand side of the machine on the floor,
With the lid off and power disconnected ! marks like these on the inside of the front panel.
These are my experiences of water leaks on this range.
Have fun 😀
Re: whirlpool AWM219
Chris you are spot on with this one, I meant to post about it a couple of weeks ago. Called to a rented property for an agent recently and The Tennant was complaining of leaking from the soap drawer, As it happened the Tennant had pulled the drawer front off and when filling water was Pouring down the front of the drawer, removed the green plastic thing and the leaking stopped immediately, Put it back and the leak started again. Over the years I have been to dozens of Whirlpool machines with this fault and never really did find the cause
