Our washing machine keeps displaying a message saying that it’s out of fabric softener. But the compartment is full, and the machine isn’t using any of it. We’ve had the drawer cleaned, but that didn’t help. What can we do?

Brand: Samsung WW5300

Hi and Welcome.

The is a customer to customer forum . I'd say get a technician to look into it .


I thought I'd try AI to answer

1. Check for blockages:

Even if the drawer is clean, there could be a blockage in the pipes or nozzles that feed the softener into the drum. Try to carefully inspect these areas for obstructions.

2. Use hot water:

Sometimes, dried-up softener can cause blockages. Try running a cycle with hot water (no clothes) and see if that clears the issue.

3. Check the siphon:

Some machines have a siphon in the softener compartment. Make sure this is correctly positioned and not blocked.

4. Try a different softener:

Sometimes, the softener itself can be too thick or cause issues. Try a different brand or a more diluted version.

5. Contact a repair technician:

If none of the above solutions work, it may be a more complex issue, such as a faulty valve or sensor. Contacting a qualified repair technician is the best course of action.

That could be a glitch aswell, if not make sure to clean the dispenser regularly and also make sure to keep your machine calibrated.
