Washing Machine Fills With Water, But Does Not Go Into Detergent Drawer
I Have a oldish (12 years+) Siemans washing machine. It has just been plumbed into our new utility room. It is hot and cold fill and fills and washes ok, but water does not go into the detergent drawer. I have cleaned out the little holes and it all appears to be clean. I manually pour water into the appropriate section of the drawer to continue using it. Hope you can help.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Siemans washing machine fills and washes but no water reaches detergent drawer after being moved
- The problem
- An older hot and cold fill Siemans washing machine was replumbed into a new utility room. It fills with water and washes normally, but no water goes into the detergent drawer, so detergent is not being flushed in. The drawer holes were cleaned and appeared clear.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says the most likely cause is an installation or plumbing issue in the new utility room, or a kinked inlet hose, especially as the fault appeared after the machine was moved. An internal appliance fault was not evidenced in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- Check the new plumbing arrangement and inlet hoses for restrictions or kinks. The exact repair was not confirmed in the thread.
- Checks to try
- Detergent drawer spray holes cleaned and found apparently clear
- Machine had just been plumbed into a new utility room
- Machine still fills with water and washes normally

If it worked ok before moving it to the utility room it's almost certainly a problem with the plumbing in there or a kinked hose. There are some troubleshooting guides on Washerhelp - Washing machine won't fill with water (or no water goes into washing machine)
