    Thanks to everyone for the replies. Water does come out of the holes in the drawer, but for some reason the soap powder gets soggy and the conditioner is watered down. However, neither leaves the drawer. 
    It sounds like there's not enough pressure to wash the detergent into the drawer 

    You need to clean the water inlet pipes , the holes and check the filter in the inlet hose too

    Is your house water pressure ok ? Is the blue lever on the tap to the inlet hose fully open?
  • Sorted it now. The water outlet holes in the detergent drawer were half blocked. Haven't tried with powder yet. Thanks for all the advice.
