Auto dose and StayClean Drawer

The_Barnacle · ‎06-03-2025

I have a Samsung AI Wash Wasmachine 6000-serie WW90DG6U85LB and I'm a bit confused how the auto dose and StayClean Drawer work.

How much detergent do I need to use for the auto dose? Do I put in enough detergent for one full wash and the StayClean Drawer dumps the excess detergent or does the machine save it for the next wash? And how does this work with multiple detergent types? I have detergent for white, black and colored wash. Does all the detergent get flushed from the machine after use or am I supposed to use the same detergent for all colors to make full use of auto dose?

Sorry if this a weird question, kinda new to doing laundry and have never used a washing machine with auto dose before.

You fill the detergent compartment with enough detergent for multiple washes. The machine automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each wash based on the load size and soil level.

The StayClean Drawer ensures that any excess detergent is flushed out, preventing buildup and keeping the drawer clean. It doesn't save detergent for the next wash.
Detergent Flushing: After each wash, the drawer is flushed to remove any remaining detergent. This means you should use the same detergent for all colors if you want to make full use of the Auto Dose feature without having to switch detergents manually.

Unfortunately, the Auto Dose feature is designed to work with a single type of detergent at a time. If you have different detergents for whites, blacks, and colors, you'll need to manually switch the detergent in the compartment when you change the type of laundry

Hi, well first of all I cannot see how the autodose machines can have the stayclean drawers , because thats only on the manual dose machines I think with the special jets at the top of the soap dispenser housing ... I could be wrong.

If you are using a plethora of washing liqud for different garments I think you are going to have to turn off the dose per wash in the menu settings and manually add whatever liquid you need for that particular wash by adding it manually to the middle compartment. do this after a while of the machine starting though as its filling up the drum with water because you dont want the liquid you are adding to get all pumped out by the drain pump at the start of the wash or as its weighing the washing at the start of the wash .
Defeats the object of having an autodose washing machine if you are using all kinds of different liquids for different washes and that you have to load it manually by using the middle drawer though.
