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.

    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

    @drmousette

    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 ;-)

    Okay, definitely designed by a man. I’m gonna attempt to yank it out the way you said …. 😂 and I’m praying I don’t have secret hulk strength and fully break it 😅

    Ha ha! Yes. And don't worry - you won't break it unless you start getting crowbars involved. Just try to keep the motion smooth.

    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.

    That is incorrect. You are referring to a different model of washing machine.
