Are you sure that you ave cleaned all the holes in the drawer that the conditioner goes through?0

The conditioner compartment has a syphon tube arrangement and can get blocked. The top part of the conditioner drawer usually unclips and then a cotton bud can be used to clean the hole in the tube attached to the main part of the drawer.0

Its not clean enough though0

Mine used to do this but only if I used concentrated conditioner. I think it was too thick. Try diluting it first or use an un-concentrated version.0

Have you tested it as described in the link given above - '
To test the function, hold the soap drawer under the tap and allow the water to fill the fabric compartment to overflowing. When you turn off the tap, the remaining water should slowly siphon out of the hole under the cap.Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -
