Fabric conditioner left in compartment

Fabric conditioner is left behind in the fabric conditioner compartment within the detergent drawer. Water is used to flush powdered and liquid products through during dispensing. It is normal for a small amount of residual water to be left behind in the fabric conditioner compartment.

The fabric conditioner is very thick or clumpy.

Unlike detergent, fabric conditioner has a shelf life of 2 years.

If the fabric conditioner is very thick or clumpy, this means it is too old. This out-of-date fabric conditioner should no longer be used.
