This is not a fault, we have designed the machine to release steam from the
dispenser drawer during hot washes. It may also vent during drying.
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing. If you have used the
wrong type of detergent, select a Rinse programme to flush out your machine.
You used too much detergent. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Check the drawer is properly aligned.
Clean the dispenser drawer (see Care and Maintenance).
Check the water supply taps are turned on fully.

Is your water pressure too low? You may need a ‘Y’ piece adaptor to run
