I noticed my machine (Indesit) no longer empties the conditioner compartment so I took the dispenser drawer apart and removed and then thoroughly cleaned the dispenser draw lid where the jets are located. I also ran water through the lid while it was detached to check all the jet holes are unblocked and water can run freely through them. The drawer itself is clean and the conditioner compartment can siphon water no problem, it's not blocked.
When I run a prewash cycle I've noticed that the pressure of water being released by the jets is quite low, especially compared to the jets that run during a main wash. At some point in the prewash cycle the water actually stops coming out of the prewash jets and just comes out of the nozzle at the back of the drawer. I wonder if this where the problem lies, perhaps the prewash solenoid valve isn't opening up properly? I measured the resistance of both the solenoids with a multimeter and they came back with similar readings. What's my next step?
Sorry the title is not very clear, the water supply to the machine has good pressure.
