General problems with the washing machine
Problem
Large amounts of
detergent residue
remain in the detergent
dispenser drawer.

completely dispensed
or too much water
remains in the 
compartment.
At the end of the
programme there is still
liquid in the capsule.
There is water in the
fabric softener
compartment next to
the capsule.
Possible cause and remedy
The water pressure is too low.
 Clean the filter in the water inlet.
 It may be useful to select the Water + Extra.
Powder detergent used with water softeners can be
sticky.
 Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in future
add washing powder and then add the water
softener.
The siphon tube is not correctly positioned, or is
clogged up.
 Clean the siphon (see "Cleaning and care -
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer").

onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.

This is not a fault.
For technical reasons, a small amount of water will
remain in the capsule.
The  sensor was not activated.
 Activate the  sensor when a capsule is next
used.
An empty capsule was not removed at the end of the
last wash programme.
