Troubleshooting
If issues arise related to the dispenser tube, consider the following:
- Leaking: Check connections at both ends of the tube. Ensure clamps (if present) are secure. Inspect the tube for cracks or punctures.
- Detergent Not Dispensing: Verify that the tube is not clogged with detergent residue. Ensure the dispenser drawer itself is clean and functioning correctly.
