Fabric conditioner compartment retaining water due to missing cap or blockage
- The problem
- The fabric conditioner section of the washing machine dispenser drawer was not emptying and was left full of water. The original poster also found black build-up behind the removed soap dispenser drawer.
- Likely cause
- The accepted answer states this is caused by a missing cap at the top of the siphoning tube, or by the siphon hole being blocked with residue.

- Checks to try
- Checked whether the cap/cover at the top of the siphoning tube was missing
- Checked for a blocked hole in the siphoning tube area
- Removed the soap dispenser drawer and found black build-up in a hole behind it
