Safety First: Unplug the Washer
Before you begin any maintenance or repairs on your washing machine, always unplug it from the electrical outlet. This simple step ensures your safety and prevents any electrical hazards.
Locate the Drawer Release Lever
On the inside of the detergent drawer, you’ll find a small lever or button. This lever is designed to release the drawer and allow it to be pulled out. Gently press or pull on the lever to disengage it.
Slide the Drawer Out
Once the lever is released, gently slide the detergent drawer towards you. It should come out smoothly without any resistance. If you encounter any difficulty, ensure that the lever is fully disengaged.
Clean the Drawer and Compartments
Now that you have the drawer out, it’s the perfect time to clean it thoroughly. Remove any detergent residue, fabric softener, or bleach buildup from the compartments. Use warm water and a mild detergent to clean the drawer and rinse it well.
Inspect the Drawer for Damage
While you have the drawer out, take a moment to inspect it for any cracks, damage, or loose parts. If you notice any issues, it’s best to replace the drawer to prevent further malfunctions.
Replace the Drawer
Once the drawer is clean and inspected, it’s time to put it back in place. Align the drawer with the rails inside the washer and gently slide it back until it clicks into place. Ensure that the drawer is fully inserted and the lever is engaged.
Reconnect the Washer
Now that the detergent drawer is back in place, reconnect the washer to the electrical outlet. Power on the machine and run a short wash cycle to ensure that the drawer is functioning properly.
