How to Remove the Detergent Drawer on an Indesit Washing Machine
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you've got a build up of gunk, powder and detergent in the drawer of your washing machine, then the efficiency of the wash cycles will be reduced.
You're going to need to be able to remove the drawer to give it a thorough clean, and this video tells you how.

The person who designed this drawer was probably a relative of some very important person in Indesit corp because he is obviously unqualified for product design.

LOLOL! Best reply ever!
Thank you so much! We’ve been trying to work this out for ages. There were no instructions in the manual and we would never have guessed or been brave enough to just yank it out like that. Nice clean dispenser drawer now. Thank you!

For real what is that silly latch they put in! They should've made it a clip or something, I didn't want to pull in case I snapped it.

So interesting to watch. It's amazing how we sometimes end up spending so much money on what can be easily fixed because of too much pampering of the appliance. What a courageous approach. Thanks so much for posting this clip.

So useful, thanks! I jiggled mine a bit, but nothing happened, so I left it. What a poor design to have to pull it so hard 🤷♂ I don't think manufacturers have a clue about writing instructions, for anything🙄 I worked for many years for a major IT manufacturer, Hewlett Packard, they were the same, our customers struggled all the time, it never changed. I'll have to subscribe for more tips 👍

It's a terrible design. I think the people who write them often don't do it through the eyes of someone who is using the machine for the first time and has no clue about its mechanisms. Thank you for subscribing!

You've got to give it quite a yank. The other option is to check that the sides of the drawer aren't gunked up (but that would be unusual). Try spraying detergent down the sides.

After a few years the plastic drawer can become more brittle and susceptible to breaking so I always gently heat the drawer with a hairdryer to make it more pliable to remove.
@drmousette
Жыл бұрын
Yes, it is true that plastic can degrade over the years and the application of heat is a great way to get back some malleability because it breaks down the van der Waals molecular forces. Or so I'm told ;-)

That's not an issue with the drawer - that's a drainage issue that needs looking at. I try and do a video on that.

As this is their cheap low end budget model I would have thought they'd at least make it easier to remove. My proaction machine which this replaced was easier to remove and it cost £135 in 2012 this thing is cheap as chip quality and not worth the £199 I paid.
What a ridiculous design😤….why not have a simple release catch 🤷♀️….im not even sure I want to try removing it!
Thanx. Must be designed by a man hey?
