Residue in the dispenser can hinder detergent flow and contribute to odor. Samsung advises wiping the drawer dry after washes and deep-cleaning it at least monthly; removal varies by model.

Finish the wash and identify whether you have a front-load, top-load or automatic-dosing drawer; consult its manual.
Pull out the dispenser and lift out any removable detergent or softener inserts.
Rinse the removable parts with lukewarm water; gently scrub away buildup with a soft brush.
For full drawer removal, use only the model's release method—front-load clips and top-load lifting methods can differ.
Wipe the cavity with a soft cloth or nonmetal brush, then dry the inserts, drawer and recess thoroughly.
Reassemble the inserts and slide the drawer securely back. Dry after each wash and schedule a deeper cleaning about monthly.
