LEAKING SOAP DISPENSER - HOTPOINT AQUARIUS 1100 WD61

caransom · 6 Mar 2007

Any advice please ? Recently installed above machine after it was stored - already has had brushes replaced. Tried to put it through a cycle to check and water spurts out from soap dispenser area. Managed to dissolve hardened soap in container with hot water and stuff a brush down the back to clean anything there. Took cover off and 'massaged' the plastic pumpy things at back. RAn it through again and all seemed OK. Put a descaler through machine on cycle - all still OK. However, once machine was then moved into position the leaking problem began again with water spurting out from same area.
Can anyone help please ??? Thx.

I know you said you cleaned out the soap drawer thingy, as I once thought i'd done, till it leaked out again. I found that there is a small vertical pipe in the back of the soap tray/drawer itself, hidden by a small free floating tray with basket type plastic grid, integral to the drawer, and this was blocked - just an idea.
Good luck,
