How to remove the detergent drawer in a Samsung washing machine?

To ensure your washing machine provides long-lasting, trouble-free performance and high-quality washing results, it requires regular maintenance. Regularly cleaning the detergent drawer is essential to prevent buildup, mold, and mildew. For a thorough rinse, you'll need to remove the detergent drawer from the housing. We'll explain how to remove the detergent drawer in a Samsung washing machine, how to clean the drawer, and how to prevent buildup.

How to extract it correctly?

Removing the detergent drawer is fairly simple, but there are a few things to keep in mind. If you simply pull the drawer toward you, the safety system will activate, causing the drawer to become stuck. Also, pulling too hard on the drawer can damage the washing machine. Care must be taken.

1. Pull the powder container towards you until the tray stops.
2. Without loosening your grip, stop pulling the dispenser.
3. With your free hand, press the tab located at the top of the middle section of the tray.
4. Remove the container from the niche.

By pressing the tab located above the middle compartment of the powder receptacle, you can easily remove the container from the washing machine body.

Inserting the drawer into the washing machine is even easier. There are special guides on the sides of the opening for the detergent drawer. All you have to do is ensure the drawer is fully inserted and firmly seated.

How often should you care for your “home helper”? It is ideal to rinse the detergent drawer after each use of the washing machine. So, once all the laundry is done, all you have to do is remove the detergent dispenser and rinse it with warm water. Any granules remaining on the walls will be easily washed away by the water pressure.

If the drawer hasn't been cleaned in a while, you'll need to put in more effort. You'll need a scouring pad and baking soda. Mix water and baking soda in a 1:1 ratio in a container. Pour the mixture into the tray. Leave the container for a few hours to allow the baking soda to kill any mold. Then, wipe the dispenser walls with the scouring pad and rinse with warm water.

If there's a lot of dirt, try filling the detergent drawer with baking soda and then pouring 9% vinegar over it. This will cause a chemical reaction that will leave the drawer sparkling clean.

A mixture of 9% vinegar and boiling water will help remove stains. Remove the detergent drawer, fill it with a liter of boiled water, and add 200 ml of acetic acid. Leave the drawer in this state for 6-10 hours. Afterward, wipe the drawer walls with a sponge or washcloth.

Citric acid will also remove plaque from the dispenser sections. You can also pour the food additive into the dispenser drawer and run a wash cycle. This will clean not only the drawer but also the inside of the washing machine.

It's best to prevent buildup on the detergent drawer walls and take measures to prevent mold growth. This is achieved by rinsing the drawer after washing. It's crucial to ensure moisture evaporates from the detergent drawer, so after rinsing, either wipe the walls dry with a cloth or leave the drawer open for ventilation.

To reduce the amount of dirt

In addition to regular maintenance, here are a few tips for keeping your Samsung washing machine in tip-top condition. To keep the detergent dispenser cleaner, follow these tips:

• install a filter to purify the water entering the washing machine;
• use only high-quality and safe detergents;
• Leave the machine hatch open for ventilation after each use.

By following these simple rules, it's easy to keep your "home helper" clean. By caring for your washing machine, you'll enjoy high-quality washing and trouble-free operation for years to come.
