Introdução
Use this guide to remove, clean, and refit the dispenser drawer on a Candy washing machine. The dispenser drawer, detergent drawer, or soap drawer holds detergent and fabric conditioner, and residue can build up over time and wash onto clothes. This guide covers Candy machines with the drawer in the top-left corner of the front panel, so other models may have small differences.
