How To Take Soap Drawer Out?
Just need a bit of advice. This machine has been standing idle for a few years and we can't find the user manual. It's working fine but I need to clean the dispenser drawer and can't for the life of me work out how to get it out. On all other machines you've either pressed the sides in or the top, but nothing seems to work. Can you help me please. thanks

Soap dispenser drawer difficult to remove for cleaning
- The problem
- The washing machine was working, but the dispenser drawer could not be removed for cleaning after the machine had been unused for several years and the user manual was unavailable.
- Likely cause
- The drawer appears to be held in by a rear or underside stopper rather than a visible release button.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to fully extend the drawer, hold it firmly by the sides, and pull it out past the stopper. If needed, it may require carefully levering over the stopper or a firm pull. The drawer front should not be used for pulling as it may break.
- Checks to try
- Checked for a release button at the back or underneath the drawer
- Fully extended the dispenser drawer

If there's no button to press at the back or underneath you usually need to hold it firmly by the sides and just pull it out. There has to be something stopping it coming out and it's usually just at the back underneath the drawer. Once fully extended it needs either carefully levering over the stopper or firmly pulling past it. Holding the drawer by the drawer front will often break it.
