This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Fabric conditioner left in dispenser after wash
- The problem
- The washing machine was leaving the fabric conditioner behind after a wash. The dispenser tray and the dispenser head had already been cleaned.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says that if the softener is not being taken out at all, it is unlikely to be caused by a blockage. A faulty inlet valve was given as one possible cause.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was recorded in the discussion. The strongest supported diagnosis was that a blockage was unlikely if the conditioner was not flushed out at all, and the inlet valve was identified as a possible fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Cleaned the dispenser tray
- Cleaned the dispenser head
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello Keith. If the softener isn't being take out at all it can't be anything to do with a blockage. The softener is flushed out of the compartment by a cascade of water. If there is a blockage it will not stop softener from being flushed into the drum, all that would happen is water would be left in the compartment. A faulty valve is one of the possibilities, I have an article all about this issue here - fabric softener not being taken away
