We have a Bosch Excel 1200 washing machine and when it fills for the
rinse cycles the water pours out from the soap/conditioner tray in the
top left corner of the machine. It is almost as if a pipe is blocked
and the water cannot get into the machine quickly BUT it only happens
every few washes, not on every wash ??

Any ideas where to start looking ?

Thanks

The pipe from the bottom of the detergent dispensing chamber to the drum
might be blocked with soap residue. Or, there might be detergent residue in
the detergent dispensing chamber, which is affecting water flow. Remove the
drawer and check for a blockage in the tube and for congealed detergent,
clean as necessary. Check that the curved tube that siphons conditioner is
not blocked; this is another cause of water leaks. If the machine is tilting
slightly forwards that can affect water flow; it needs to be level front to
back. Check with a sprit level and raise the front feet if necessary.
