How do i remove the dispenser on Indesit IWME 127
Hi, this is probably a stupid question but i casn't seem to remove the dispenser on my Indesit IWME 127 washing machine, i have read the manual which seems to show that i push up on the right side and pull out, i also seen a youtube video that also seemed to show this, something doesn't seem to want to come out on the right side though.
Both manual and youtube both seemed to show that this can be done gently and it shouldnt need to force it, i felt like i nearly was forcing it though and didn't want to damage it, so thought i'd ask here.
Does anyone have one that could let me know?
Regards
James

Indesit IWME 127 dispenser drawer removal query
- The problem
- The user could not remove the detergent dispenser drawer on an Indesit IWME 127. The manual and a video suggested lifting the right side and pulling the drawer out, but the right side seemed stuck and the user did not want to force it and risk damage.
- Likely cause
- The drawer appears to have a retaining stop that prevents it sliding straight out easily and needs to be overridden with controlled force. This was suggested in the accepted reply, but no mechanical fault was confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to pull the drawer out while using careful, moderate force to override the retaining stop, holding the drawer by its sides rather than the front to avoid breaking the fascia. The exact removal method beyond this was not documented.
- Checks to try
- User compared the drawer removal method against the manual
- User compared the method against a YouTube video
- User noted the right side did not want to come out
- Accepted reply advised holding the drawer by the sides, not the front

Maybe they put a little more force into it that it looks as they were confident and had done it a lot before? There will be something preventing the drawer just easily coming out so you have to override it. Obviously you have to use your judgement as to the force needed but it shouldn't need the kind of force that makes you concerned about breaking it. Make sure you only hold it by the sides and not the front as you could break off the front of the drawer.
