The person who designed this drawer was probably a relative of some very important person in Indesit corp because he is obviously unqualified for product design.
Ye it could be invented as some small rotating blockade or something like that but no there is need for doing total disaster from my loundry machine and whole batroom after taking out this stupid drawer.
Thank you so much! We’ve been trying to work this out for ages. There were no instructions in the manual and we would never have guessed or been brave enough to just yank it out like that. Nice clean dispenser drawer now. Thank you!
Honestly thank you! I've moved into a rental property with one of these and it really needs a clean! Seeing how much force it actually needs to remove confirms its not me being dim! 😂
Thank you so much we have been trying for months to remove the draw fearing we might break it. Finally, thanks to your video my wife and I have been able to remove and clean the washing machine draw lol
So interesting to watch. It's amazing how we sometimes end up spending so much money on what can be easily fixed because of too much pampering of the appliance. What a courageous approach. Thanks so much for posting this clip.
Thank you so much!!! When I tried to smack the drawer of my old WIDXL86 into place, tho, it wouldn't happen. So I yanked it out again, lined it up carefully - and, wow, it slid smoothly back in with no effort at all 😊
Thank you, seriously. I've been trying to take it our for ages, its so dirty I can't stand it. I brought even my mother who is a laundry " expert " 😂 and she couldn't find out either. Appreciate it !!
I don't have the same brand washing machine but it DID have the same mode of removing the drawer, thank you for the video. I was afraid I was gonna break my washing machine drawer but it worked!
Omg I've been trying to get the drawer out of my washing machine since I got it 18 months ago. No video has helped, apart from this one. Thank-you very much.
Thank you for this. I was too frightened to just give it a hard yank to pull it out. If you thought yours was gunky you should have seen the state of mine. Urrrgggh!
Thanks, if I'd known it was brute force rather than intelligence I needed to get the drawer in and out, I could have done this job ages ago! Too much thinking and not enough action on my part, that is a really helpful video.
Haha thank you so much for posting this! My fabric softener tray compartment was filled up with water and gook and your video helped alot! I was worried I would break the tray trying to remove it but your instructions to yank it out and wack it in was genius and gave me some level of trust and reassurance! 🤣
Thank you very much, I was afraid to break the drawer. Our laundry even started to smell due to all the yuck that was inside that drawer...eww. Thanx again!
Thank you so much for this!!!! That was my last thing to check videos and I find you! I'm really glad for Your video! I was to think to remove screws but the space is too small... Now my dispenser is super clean!!! Thanks again! 😊
So useful, thanks! I jiggled mine a bit, but nothing happened, so I left it. What a poor design to have to pull it so hard 🤷♂ I don't think manufacturers have a clue about writing instructions, for anything🙄 I worked for many years for a major IT manufacturer, Hewlett Packard, they were the same, our customers struggled all the time, it never changed. I'll have to subscribe for more tips 👍
It's a terrible design. I think the people who write them often don't do it through the eyes of someone who is using the machine for the first time and has no clue about its mechanisms. Thank you for subscribing!
Does anyone know why I can't get the drawer back in with the bit for fabric conditioner in.I've had to leave it out so have to wait to add it when on rinse.
After a few years the plastic drawer can become more brittle and susceptible to breaking so I always gently heat the drawer with a hairdryer to make it more pliable to remove.
Yes, it is true that plastic can degrade over the years and the application of heat is a great way to get back some malleability because it breaks down the van der Waals molecular forces. Or so I'm told ;-)
I don’t suppose you could help me, I have the exact same as you and my fabric conditioner draw keeps filling up with water, also thank you so much for this video, been trying to work out how to do it for weeks, was scared of breaking it! 😂
You've got to give it quite a yank. The other option is to check that the sides of the drawer aren't gunked up (but that would be unusual). Try spraying detergent down the sides.
As this is their cheap low end budget model I would have thought they'd at least make it easier to remove. My proaction machine which this replaced was easier to remove and it cost £135 in 2012 this thing is cheap as chip quality and not worth the £199 I paid.
Okay, definitely designed by a man. I’m gonna attempt to yank it out the way you said …. 😂 and I’m praying I don’t have secret hulk strength and fully break it 😅
One of the most terrible washing machines i have had come across! So worse that even the time outlet at the bottom is hidden and screwed? Whoever the genius is behind this design should be kicked in the ss

LOLOL! Best reply ever!
Ye it could be invented as some small rotating blockade or something like that but no there is need for doing total disaster from my loundry machine and whole batroom after taking out this stupid drawer.
Thank you so much! We’ve been trying to work this out for ages. There were no instructions in the manual and we would never have guessed or been brave enough to just yank it out like that. Nice clean dispenser drawer now. Thank you!
Most welcome!
i did it once by mistake while on the beer because i was super annoyed, wasn't brave enough until now to do it again lol
Same here. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I really appreciate. Huge thanks to RUclips. Let’s make everything simple for everyone
Yank & Whack are words that need including in the manual - thank you
LOL! Technical terms
Omg yanking out the drawer really worked!! I was stressing out about breaking it. Thank you soooo much, its nice and clean now.
A bloody stupid design all round! I agree, there should be a release lever or similar
Honestly thank you! I've moved into a rental property with one of these and it really needs a clean! Seeing how much force it actually needs to remove confirms its not me being dim! 😂
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much we have been trying for months to remove the draw fearing we might break it. Finally, thanks to your video my wife and I have been able to remove and clean the washing machine draw lol
Glad to be of assistance 🙂
Thank you so much for this video. I thought I was about to break the draw, nothing should be that hard to remove and put back 😀
There are so many things that can be sorted with a 'whack'! Lol
Been struggling for ages to get mine out! Just yanked it and it came out straight way Thankyou for this!!😂🤗
It's not intuitive, but glad I could be of help!
So interesting to watch. It's amazing how we sometimes end up spending so much money on what can be easily fixed because of too much pampering of the appliance. What a courageous approach. Thanks so much for posting this clip.
You're welcome! glad to be of help

Nice one. So right about lining it up carefully
Very straightforward and well explained, thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment
You've actually got me be joking me cause I've been trying to take this out for 30 minutes now OMG
It's a REALLY bad design!
Thank you, seriously. I've been trying to take it our for ages, its so dirty I can't stand it. I brought even my mother who is a laundry " expert " 😂 and she couldn't find out either. Appreciate it !!
Aww glad you managed to get it out. Thanks for commenting
I don't have the same brand washing machine but it DID have the same mode of removing the drawer, thank you for the video. I was afraid I was gonna break my washing machine drawer but it worked!
Glad I could help!
Omg I've been trying to get the drawer out of my washing machine since I got it 18 months ago. No video has helped, apart from this one. Thank-you very much.
Glad to help. It's so simple in the end ...
@drmousette Yeah it was, your right. But I thought I would break it trying. lol
Thank you for this. I was too frightened to just give it a hard yank to pull it out. If you thought yours was gunky you should have seen the state of mine. Urrrgggh!
LOL! I hope it's degunked now :-)
Thanks for your video. I've been trying to work out how to remove the drawer for quite a few days.
No worries. Glad it helped
Thank you so much for this! I live in a rented flat and I would have never had the courage to yank it like this 😄
Ha ha! it looks brutal but it's the correct way. Glad to be of help
Thanks, if I'd known it was brute force rather than intelligence I needed to get the drawer in and out, I could have done this job ages ago! Too much thinking and not enough action on my part, that is a really helpful video.
Yup, it was definitely designed by cavemen, and not designed for thinking people.
Haha thank you so much for posting this! My fabric softener tray compartment was filled up with water and gook and your video helped alot! I was worried I would break the tray trying to remove it but your instructions to yank it out and wack it in was genius and gave me some level of trust and reassurance! 🤣
Aww, glad you got it sorted!
Thank you so much for this. It’s 2:40am right now and I just finished cleaning my washing machine.
Glad to hear you got it done
I like the whack attitude in dealing with the drawer😂
Yes! Absolute legend 👏
LOL! thank you. It's the engineering training - if in doubt, whack it ;-)
Thanks I kept looking for some kind of release button that I've just discovered this machine doesn't have!
You'd think it would have a release button wouldn't you? You need to go and work for them and sort out their engineers 😉
Thank for that I'd spent two hours trying too get it out watched your video and whoops it came out what a mess it was thanks
The actual method of doing it isn't very intuitive, so I'm not surprised. Glad it helped
Thank you very much, I was afraid to break the drawer. Our laundry even started to smell due to all the yuck that was inside that drawer...eww.
Thanx again!
No problem!
Thank you so much for this!!!! That was my last thing to check videos and I find you! I'm really glad for Your video! I was to think to remove screws but the space is too small...
Now my dispenser is super clean!!! Thanks again! 😊
That's brill. Glad to be of help!
Thank you so much! I've been trying to clean that drawer for weeks .
You're welcome!!
Thank you so much you don't know how much you helped me
Glad it helped
Thank you so much, best instruction out there so far! 😄
Thank you for such straightforward instruction.
Thank you, was scared to yank until I saw this 👌🏻
Glad you sorted it :-)
Nice & easy, the best I have seen. Well done.
Thankyou :-)
Thanks so much for this, I've been stressing about this for months! Can you do a video about how to clean the pump?
:-) Yes, I'll put it on my 'to do' list! Keep an eye out ...
Thanks! 😀
Thanks, finally I managed to remove the drawer 🙂👍
Thank you sooooo much,,I've been trying for ages 😂
Not surprised, it's not very intuitive!
Took me a while to pull it out. So thanks for this video I was getting ready to take the screws out around it..which someone suggested..a man 🤣🤣🤣🙈😘
LOL! No no no ... always listen to us girl engineers! ;-)
Great Video,, very informative and helpful
Thank you. I put it in the dishwasher to clean.
That'll work perfectly!
Made by folks who don't mind us breaking stuff so we buy more, this vid made me brave ty.
Thank you for the useful information
You are most welcome!
Wow, my heavy-handedness actually came in useful on this occasion!
All mechanical engineers know that basically you just need to whack things LOL! Thanks for your feedback.
So useful, thanks! I jiggled mine a bit, but nothing happened, so I left it. What a poor design to have to pull it so hard 🤷♂ I don't think manufacturers have a clue about writing instructions, for anything🙄 I worked for many years for a major IT manufacturer, Hewlett Packard, they were the same, our customers struggled all the time, it never changed.

Thanks for the help. Ur voice is so soothing. Have u thought about doing asmr? ❤❤
LOL, no I haven't. But I'm pleased I can soothingly remove detergent drawers. :-)
Thank You very much!
You're welcome!
Does anyone know why I can't get the drawer back in with the bit for fabric conditioner in.I've had to leave it out so have to wait to add it when on rinse.
Omg! Bad design or what?! Good video. My Bosch drawer is simple, I press the softener blue tab down to release the catch😃
Terrible design! I wish they were all as good as Bosch ;-)
Very helpful thank you very much for sharing this

Thanks man, pulled it out

I don’t suppose you could help me, I have the exact same as you and my fabric conditioner draw keeps filling up with water, also thank you so much for this video, been trying to work out how to do it for weeks, was scared of breaking it! 😂

Definitely no screws ;-) You can clean the blockages to your heart's content now.
I have tried to pull mine out but it won’t budge,I’m getting really depressed about this can’t use washer
You've got to give it quite a yank. The other option is to check that the sides of the drawer aren't gunked up (but that would be unusual). Try spraying detergent down the sides.
Amazing it worked!!! 😆 thanks for the vid!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Wow
Hello! What model is your washing machine?
IDWC6125, but this method applies to many other models.
Thanks.
No worries
Hvala !!!!!❤
Baš ste dobrodošli
Grazie...
Prego
Super useful! 👌🏻👌🏻😂
Thank you :-)
hi، i have this machin .h2o this ward apper why ?
??
legend
Aww thank you!
I can’t bring the tray out, can anyone help me?
Did you try yanking it as instructed in the video?
the fabric conditioner bit fills with water for me now and doesn't drain
That's not an issue with the drawer - that's a drainage issue that needs looking at. I try and do a video on that.
Legend!
Awww, thank you.
I love you❤
Aww thank you
King 😎
Awww thank you!
As this is their cheap low end budget model I would have thought they'd at least make it easier to remove. My proaction machine which this replaced was easier to remove and it cost £135 in 2012 this thing is cheap as chip quality and not worth the £199 I paid.
It is a budget machine, and yes, you would think they'd make it more intuitive to remove
My HERO thx❤
No problem.
Okay, definitely designed by a man. I’m gonna attempt to yank it out the way you said …. 😂 and I’m praying I don’t have secret hulk strength and fully break it 😅
Ha ha! Yes. And don't worry - you won't break it unless you start getting crowbars involved. Just try to keep the motion smooth.
Merci merci merci que DIEU vous bénisse ✨
You're welcome!
It’s like pulling a tooth 😂
I haven't pulled many teeth to be fair, but I'll take your word for it 😉
What a ridiculous design😤….why not have a simple release catch 🤷♀️….im not even sure I want to try removing it!
OMG, I'm scared. I feel like I'll break it😮
Don't worry - trust me ;-)
One of the most terrible washing machines i have had come across!
So worse that even the time outlet at the bottom is hidden and screwed? Whoever the genius is behind this design should be kicked in the ss
😂😂😂 I agree it was designed by a man.. I've been looking for a clip to press or something
😂 Yeh, a clip would have been the obvious thing!
Thanx.
Must be designed by a man hey?
Ha ha! That's my theory and I'm sticking to it 😉
this isn't the correct methode to grab the detergznt drawer. Push the button on the drawer
That is incorrect. You are referring to a different model of washing machine.
Thank you
You're welcome
