Aquarius WD420 floods through soap tray on spin?

How can I fix an aquarius that has recently started to squirt water out through the soap drawer when on spin cycle ?

If necessary remove the top cover of the machine,(power off) and disconnect the flexible hoses from the dispenser. Check if theyre blocked. The dispenser itself can be separated - generally held together with plastic clips. Clean out any crud or hardened detergent. Check for water scale causing the inlet jet to misdirect. Also check the 3 inch hose which runs from the dispenser tray to the drum for internal blockages. On top of the drum you will see a black one inch diameter hose that goes from the drum to the soap drawer and also down to the pump at the bottom of the machine. This pipe releases air pressure during the fill cycle and if blocked will cause flooding from soap drawer. Pull it off the drum at the top and blow down it to make sure its not blocked.

Repair and service your own washing machine. Go to www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html
