Beko washing machine won't dispense fabric conditioner

Middy

Been like this for a good fortnight. I have tried to put my finger in the jet above the FC section of my drawer and shifted a little bit of black stuff and still won't dispense FC.

I have done an empty load on 90c and that didn't help.

Has it got a syphon tube that may be blocked?

Figment

Remove the drawer and clean it. You'll probably find the small outlet for the fabric conditioner is blocked with congealed conditioner.

On the vast majority of washing machines FC is dispensed by a siphon arrangement in the conditioner compartment in the drawer. These gunge up very easily.

This arrangement usually consists of a tube sticking up from the bottom of the drawer and a closed cyclinder fitting over the top of the tube, Have a look at this thread on MSE which has a picture of a Bosch machine drawer. The tube is on the left and the cylinder on the right.

Your mission should you accept it is to remove the drawer and clean the gunk out of the siphon parts. The tube normally has a hole right through to get the conditioner into the drum. I normally use cotton buds and hot soapy water to clean both parts.
