Fabric softener stays in drawre

I have a Bosch Clasixx 1200 express which I have had for about 2 years. Recently it has stopped putting fabric softener through, although the detergent drawer empties fine. I've tried different wash cycles and cleaning out the detergent drawer before each wash, but the fabric softener still gets left behind. Any ideas?

We just had a tech come out to fix this problem for us. Essentially, the problem is that the fabric softener builds up and gets clogged. He cleaned out a solid hunk of frabric softener gunk, and suggested that we dilute our fabric softener with water to keep this buildup from happening again.

I had this same problem to

If you take out the drawer of the washing machine and look upwards there are 4 very very small holes get a pipe cleaner and giver them a jolly good clean.

This should then solve the problem

I have this problem too - I took the top off the machine and where water comes into the machine at the back there is a switch that diverts the water to 2 seperate tubes depending on where in the cycle the water is to be sent to. The default is to the washing powder section but at some time it switches to the 2nd tube for the fabric . I believe this soleniod (I think) that does this switching is not working. Part is about £30 but trying to see how I can fit it myself.

Water in slot for fabric softener wont drain. Always water in there. Lameez SA Jan2014

Remove the dispenser draw and wash it all out. The most likely cause is that fabric softener has congealed and blocked the dispenser. I hate what softeners do to machines with a vengeance. I would never put any fabric softener anywhere near my machine ever. They cause many problems that are not easily remedied.

Fabric softener dispenser fills up with clear water after washing cycle is complete. I do not use fabric softener .

Purchase some fabric softener and place it in its normal location at the beginning of the cycle. At the end of the cycle check to see if fabric softener has been dispensed and whether there is water in the cup.

If the fabric softener is gone, but there is water in the fabric softener cup, then your problem may be with the water valve assembly. The water valve assembly (as one complete unit) has a separate solenoid for hot and cold water temperatures, bleach and fabric softener. The fabric softener solenoid on the water valve assembly could be defective (allowing water to fill the fabric softener cup).

Contact an appliance service company.

Fabric softener dispenser no longer works on my Bosch, the dispenser remains full of fabric softener, all else ok Bosch classixx 1200 express

Remove soap drawer completely from washer, and thoroughly clean all parts of it, paticularly the conditioner compartment..
Get a piece of stiff wire, and make a right angled bend in the end of it, then poke the wire into all the holes in the top of the soap drawer compartment to clear any possible blockage.
This should solve the prob.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.
