Hotpoint washing machine.
 

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?

Think I had this when I accidentally used that compartment., It was
partially blocked with caked powder

The conditioner compartment has a rounded cap over a tube, which forms a
syphon, remove the cap and soak it in hot water to de-gunge it occasionally.

Remove the tray and clean the conditioner compartment, then clean it again.
You can test the function as when you add water to the compartment there will become a point when the water starts to siphon and shouldn't stop until compartment is empty

Do you use concentrated fabric softener? If so I found they clog the
syphon after a while. Tried adding water after putting the conditioner
in the machine. But that didn't work too well as it it didn't mix in
the drawer. So we now keep an old bottle in which to dilute it (2 water
to 1 conditioner) ready to use.

Mind you, this is with a washing machine that's 15 years old. More
recent ones may cope better with 'gloop'.

AFAIK the water is heated inside the drum. The detergent syphon only gets incoming cold water.

Unless yours is plumbed into the hot, of course.

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

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.
Luckily in simple mode the Panasonic still has a program and a spin dial
with clicks.
I also use the liquid washing stuff in those bio degradable balloons
rather than powder or tablets as I make a mess with those!

That is because they use so little water these days, that hot fill has
been found to be unnecessary. They usually waste a lot of hot water,
until the hot water gets to them, both in the pipe and time for a combi
to get hot, it is just a wasteful process with little advantage.

I sometimes boil a kettle and pour it in the dispenser, but it gunges
up much less with liquid detergents.

Dont use any conditioner at all myself.

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.

You dinosaur/luddite.

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.

It did on our Hoover washing machine. We'd only got it that day, ran it
on the hottest wash before using it in anger. Not only did something go
wrong, but it also proved that there was no safety cut-out, as it boiled
the water and the escaping steam softened and deformed the detergent
tray! The machine was promptly returned and a refund demanded so that we
could buy another make.
