How to Remove the Detergent Drawer on an Indesit Washing Machine

[@Unknown-nc4jq]

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.

[@drmousette]

LOLOL! Best reply ever!

[@bozydarziemniak1853]

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.

[@misslisa4500]

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!

[@drmousette]

Most welcome!

[@davidryan0808]

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

[@redz7125]

Same here. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I really appreciate. Huge thanks to KZbin. Let’s make everything simple for everyone

[@lockdowngrey6034]

Omg yanking out the drawer really worked!! I was stressing out about breaking it. Thank you soooo much, its nice and clean now.

[@drmousette]

A bloody stupid design all round! I agree, there should be a release lever or similar

[@tanyaswarbrick]

Yank & Whack are words that need including in the manual - thank you

[@drmousette]

LOL! Technical terms

[@chareclaire]

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! 😂

[@drmousette]

Glad I could help!

[@michaelparsons7611]

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

[@drmousette]

Glad to be of assistance 🙂

[@Danielle0498]

Been struggling for ages to get mine out! Just yanked it and it came out straight way Thankyou for this!!😂🤗

[@drmousette]

It's not intuitive, but glad I could be of help!

[@amandakent2689]

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 😀

[@drmousette]

There are so many things that can be sorted with a 'whack'! Lol

[@oyenikeodunowo6552]

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.

[@drmousette]

You're welcome! glad to be of help

[@dempl8745]

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 !!

[@drmousette]

Aww glad you managed to get it out. Thanks for commenting

[@mountox5405]

Very straightforward and well explained, thanks!

[@drmousette]

You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@kaga6019]

You've actually got me be joking me cause I've been trying to take this out for 30 minutes now OMG

[@drmousette]

It's a REALLY bad design!

[@paulinezavitzianos7134]

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 😊

[@drmousette]

Nice one. So right about lining it up carefully

[@Yukiokoba]

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!

[@drmousette]

Glad I could help!

[@lauragalek]

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.

[@drmousette]

Glad to help. It's so simple in the end ...

[@lauragalek]

@drmousette Yeah it was, your right. But I thought I would break it trying. lol

[@tasscat]

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.

[@drmousette]

Yup, it was definitely designed by cavemen, and not designed for thinking people.

[@peternewson3793]

Thanks for your video. I've been trying to work out how to remove the drawer for quite a few days.

[@drmousette]

No worries. Glad it helped

[@DeixaIssoPraLa]

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 😄

[@drmousette]

Ha ha! it looks brutal but it's the correct way. Glad to be of help

[@Burberryzainab]

Thank you so much for this. It’s 2:40am right now and I just finished cleaning my washing machine.

[@drmousette]

Glad to hear you got it done

[@martinwilliams3595]

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!

[@drmousette]

LOL! I hope it's degunked now :-)

[@luv_kol]

Thanks I kept looking for some kind of release button that I've just discovered this machine doesn't have!

[@drmousette]

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 😉

[@Mrfantastic735]

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!

[@drmousette]

No problem!

[@BetaGolchin]

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! 🤣

[@drmousette]

Aww, glad you got it sorted!

[@dianapatriciareyeschia7298]

Thank you so much you don't know how much you helped me

[@drmousette]

Glad it helped

[@agneseross6560]

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! 😊

[@drmousette]

That's brill. Glad to be of help!

[@shaunlander4541]

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

[@drmousette]

The actual method of doing it isn't very intuitive, so I'm not surprised. Glad it helped

[@douniarazibaouene2445]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to clean that drawer for weeks .

[@drmousette]

You're welcome!!

[@Jlddlj]

Thanks so much for this, I've been stressing about this for months! Can you do a video about how to clean the pump?

[@drmousette]

:-) Yes, I'll put it on my 'to do' list! Keep an eye out ...

[@Jlddlj]

Thanks! 😀

[@OpheliaLast]

Thank you so much, best instruction out there so far! 😄

[@j.s.8196]

I like the whack attitude in dealing with the drawer😂

[@emiliyadecheva392]

Yes! Absolute legend 👏

[@drmousette]

LOL! thank you. It's the engineering training - if in doubt, whack it ;-)

[@jonnam318]

Nice & easy, the best I have seen. Well done.

[@drmousette]

Thankyou :-)

[@jeanhayes4388]

Thank you for such straightforward instruction.

[@triciaoxley2868]

Thank you, was scared to yank until I saw this 👌🏻

[@drmousette]

Glad you sorted it :-)

[@Happy_Hippy_Me]

Thank you sooooo much,,I've been trying for ages 😂

[@drmousette]

Not surprised, it's not very intuitive!

[@suzyparker1838]

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 🤣🤣🤣🙈😘

[@drmousette]

LOL! No no no ... always listen to us girl engineers! ;-)

[@mickogavin5417]

Great Video,, very informative and helpful

[@fionaward8540]

Thank you. I put it in the dishwasher to clean.

[@drmousette]

That'll work perfectly!

[@darylevans5075]

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 👍

[@drmousette]

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!

[@liyasaji6127]

Thank you for the useful information

[@drmousette]

You are most welcome!

[@davidryan0808]

Made by folks who don't mind us breaking stuff so we buy more, this vid made me brave ty.

[@co.co47]

Thanks, finally I managed to remove the drawer 🙂👍

[@jwong292]

Thank You very much!

[@drmousette]

You're welcome!

[@selfella]

Wow, my heavy-handedness actually came in useful on this occasion!

[@drmousette]

All mechanical engineers know that basically you just need to whack things LOL! Thanks for your feedback.

[@agnesstan7059]

Thanks for the help. Ur voice is so soothing. Have u thought about doing asmr? ❤❤

[@drmousette]

LOL, no I haven't. But I'm pleased I can soothingly remove detergent drawers. :-)

[@winterberryred]

Thank you!

[@drmousette]

You are welcome

[@jadelyth7397]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

[@drmousette]

LOL, you're welcome!

[@skinvestor9168]

Inability of pulling this drawer out was keeping me up at night... But I succeed after living almost two years in this flat lol

[@Xanax250]

Thanks man, pulled it out

[@drmousette]

Fab! Glad to hear it worked

[@SuperLovercraft]

Gracias. Gracias. Thank you!

[@drmousette]

You're welcome!

[@peterjamescreatives007]

Thank you

[@drmousette]

Welcome!

[@margaritak5692]

Thank you so much👍🌻

[@drmousette]

Welcome 😊

[@rosssmethurst6942]

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.

[@drmousette]

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 ;-)

[@porto3311]

you're great!!

[@drmousette]

😊

[@guineagirl5078]

Omg! Bad design or what?! Good video. My Bosch drawer is simple, I press the softener blue tab down to release the catch😃

[@drmousette]

Terrible design! I wish they were all as good as Bosch ;-)

[@mariadelosangelesgutierrez9468]

Muchas gracias no sabía sacarlo un abrazo

[@drmousette]

De nada. ¡No es muy intuitivo!

[@Andrzej-ve6zh]

Really really really useful video. Thanks a lot!

[@drmousette]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mdmostakin9697]

Wow

[@sharonholmes6178]

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.

[@daisykondrat3604]

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! 😂

[@aidalobo1036]

Thank u💙

[@drmousette]

No worries :-)

[@mangothale8105]

Very useful thanks 😊 👍

[@drmousette]

[@polluxio]

Hello! What model is your washing machine?

[@drmousette]

IDWC6125, but this method applies to many other models.

[@juliastenberg1169]

Thank you!!! This has frustrated me soooo much 😅

[@drmousette]

Most welcome!

[@rosewhite---]

works perfectly.

[@drmousette]

Thank you!

[@mariolatyutyundzhieva4147]

[@drmousette]

Glad it helped!

[@theoverseas7]

Finally!No screw off need😡.always got blockage on the right!

[@drmousette]

Definitely no screws ;-) You can clean the blockages to your heart's content now.

Legend!

[@drmousette]

Awww, thank you.

[@debbie1879]

I have tried to pull mine out but it won’t budge,I’m getting really depressed about this can’t use washer

[@drmousette]

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.

[@MonicaM1111]

Super useful! 👌🏻👌🏻😂

[@drmousette]

Thank you :-)

[@veragarozzo1920]

I love you❤

[@drmousette]

Aww thank you

[@mattsawyer2730]

My HERO thx❤

[@drmousette]

No problem.

[@saadia4009]

the fabric conditioner bit fills with water for me now and doesn't drain

[@drmousette]

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.

[@Will_allanson1]

I can’t bring the tray out, can anyone help me?

[@drmousette]

Did you try yanking it as instructed in the video?

[@scottsews]

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.

[@drmousette]

It is a budget machine, and yes, you would think they'd make it more intuitive to remove

[@mazzawaza]

It’s like pulling a tooth 😂

[@drmousette]

I haven't pulled many teeth to be fair, but I'll take your word for it 😉

[@aureliesylvia6911]

Merci merci merci que DIEU vous bénisse ✨

[@drmousette]

You're welcome!

[@itsjustkirstie]

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 😅

[@drmousette]

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.

[@lynnecottam1043]

What a ridiculous design😤….why not have a simple release catch 🤷‍♀️….im not even sure I want to try removing it!

[@craigruddock3824]

OMG, I'm scared. I feel like I'll break it😮

[@drmousette]

Don't worry - trust me ;-)

[@SujitNair7]

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

[@bleddynpullen8329]

😂😂😂 I agree it was designed by a man.. I've been looking for a clip to press or something

[@drmousette]

😂 Yeh, a clip would have been the obvious thing!

[@europtoon]

this isn't the correct methode to grab the detergznt drawer. Push the button on the drawer

[@drmousette]

That is incorrect. You are referring to a different model of washing machine.

[@andresilvasophisma]

Thanx. Must be designed by a man hey?

[@drmousette]

Ha ha! That's my theory and I'm sticking to it 😉

[@Zealot02]

Thank you!

[@ah_aleksandra]

Thank you

[@drmousette]
