Just noticed that the powder drawer in my machine is full of water after a wash. Any ideas why??

google the make and model and symptom mate, normally if it is a common issue there are hundreds of threads on how to sort it.

Take out the drawer, clean out the holes above it where the water enters. Mine gets clogged up with a black mouldy like stuff. While the tray is out give that a clean out, especially the softener bit with the siphon.

Clean out the crud as best you can. Then give it a full cycle atthe higewt temp with nothing in the machine, no detergent either.
