Well the water is what transports it into the machine. My guess is that if
you take it all to bits there is significant gunge in the pipework
between drawer and drum.
It looks like some kind of growth. No idea what is in conditioner, but
maybe we have some new kind of mould that eats the stuff. I found the way
forward is to thin the softener and store the extra needed each time in
little containers and use that in the drawer and since the clean it seems
to go much longer before it is all grotted up. I don't think its got much
to do with the make, my old machine was a Service this one is a Panasonic
and the same issues prevail, thankfully getting the drawer out is easier
on the Panasonic and running brushes and chemicals to clean it all seems
easier generally if a little messy!

Dont use any conditioner at all myself.

I would also like to know why all machines only use cold water these days.

Because with low water use machines, you dont get much hot water into
the machine at all even when there is a hot water line to the machine.

Also who decided that everyone wants 2 million menus and no dials or
buttons all operated on a touch screen to do the washing.they obviously
have no experience of normal users.

I much prefer touch screens and devices that can be told
what to do using your phone or siri, alexa or google.
MUCH simpler when you use the same program most
of the time.

Luckily in simple mode the Panasonic still has a program and a spin dial
with clicks.

You dinosaur/luddite.

I also use the liquid washing stuff in those bio degradable balloons
rather than powder or tablets as I make a mess with those!

I use a liquid detergent that I put in the bottom of the drum before
I add any water or clothes. Even you should be able to manage that.

I use the container cap for the wash detergent and pour the conditioner
into the dispenser tray thingy.

Washes fine, conditioner clearly gets into machine, but after the wash
the conditioner compartment is full of water.

Not a life changing problem, but annoying.

Any ideas?
