Free Shipping on Domestic Orders $75+

Introduction

Use this guide to remove, clean, and reinstall the dispenser drawer on a Beko washing machine. The dispenser drawer, detergent drawer, or dispensing drawer holds detergent and fabric conditioner during a wash. Cleaning it helps remove washing powder residue, conditioner buildup, residue, and mold so they don't mix with clothes. This guide was written using a Beko WM74135W washing machine, but other Beko models should be very similar.

Turn off the washing machine and unplug it before working around the dispenser area.
