How to clean detergent dispenser in lg washing machine

If not cleaned regularly, your front load washer's drain filter will clog, which will affect your machine's efficiency. It traps lint, hair, detergent, tissues, and even coins and paper clips. That's why you should check your pockets before washing your clothes.

A clogged filter will cause your clothes to smell musty and have lint and soap residue. It may also result in more electricity consumption and water accumulation in the tub.

You may have noticed a small door at the bottom corner of your front load washing machine; that's the drain filter.

The first thing you need to do is to open that little door. It will be easy to open. If you face a problem opening it, the washer manual will guide you through the process.

Once you open it, you'll see a drain hose and the drain pump filter. Keep a small bucket around, pull the drain hose, but be careful not to pull it too far to avoid twisting it and preventing it from draining properly. Now, drain the hose in the bucket. Once it's done draining, put it back.

Next, you'll be cleaning the drain pump filter by turning it counter-clockwise, pulling it, and removing any visible things clogging the drain. Put the drain pump filter back in place by turning it clockwise.

How do I clean the soap dispenser in my washing machine?

Remove all of the detachable elements of the drawer and clean everything in warm soapy water. Use a toothbrush or bottle-cleaner to reach all the parts of the drawer and the drawer housing. Let the drawer dry and then reassemble. Clean the detergent drawer housing in the washing machine with a damp cloth.

How do you get mold out of washing machine soap dispenser?

Run the wash cycle on the hottest setting your machine offers with a cup of bleach or vinegar. If using bleach, pour it into the compartment designated for bleach. If using vinegar, pour it into the detergent slot. If your machine has a self-clean cycle, you can use that setting.

Why is my LG washer not dispensing detergent?

Typically you'll find there's a clog when your LG detergent drawer not emptying leaves the detergent pooled in the dispenser. Removing the drawer and rinsing it under running water should dispel any clogs.
