Detergent in dispenser

Detergent remains in dispenser — Detergent not released

Beko · Dishwashers

What does Detergent in dispenser mean?

After a wash cycle, detergent or detergent residue is still present in the dispenser. This indicates that the detergent was not properly released into the machine during the cycle.

Common Causes

  • Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent
  • Detergent is added long before the washing process
  • Opening of the detergent dispenser lid is prevented during washing
  • Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions (e.g., humid places)
  • Impeller holes are clogged, affecting water spray
