There is fabric softener left behind in the detergent drawer of the washing machine. Water is used to flush powdered and liquid products through during dispensing. It is normal for a small amount of residual water to be left behind in the fabric softener compartment.
Unlike detergent, fabric softener has a shelf life of 2 years.
If the fabric softener is very thick or clumpy, this means it is too old. This out-of-date fabric softener should no longer be used.

Pull out the detergent drawer until a resistance is felt.
Press the release catch.
