Hey guys,
I found this pic online of how the moon dispenser works within the machine. I actually quite like them especially as it got a 5star rinse rating from which! but the only way i'd have one would be to stick a standard door on it and use 2 in 1 detergent in it. This picture led me to think, i wonder if the inlet goes straight to the top of the seal where it fills or whether there is still a dispenser chamber at the top of the machine where the dispenser normally would be. Does anyone know? Darren

Oh i'm fully aware of the problems. To be honest this happens with loads of machines when you get average joe washing low temps prob the 40 or 30min quick wash using liquid and gel detergents and closing the door. the drip sponge in the door never getting squeezed out its bout to happen.
If it was in the hands of a collector for example who alternated using a good biological programme using the 60 prog and leaving the door open and squeezing the sponge out you'd never have an issue. Darren | ||

Darren The inlet water goes straight from the solenoid valves to the top of the door seal to the in door dispenser. Very much like the new Hoover Aquavision condenser dryers. Maybe alot of the problems with the lack of it being self cleaning on the moon could have alot to do with how low the water level is. The drum not being able to deeply flush hot soapy water around it. Like most machines low level wash & deeper rinsing levels. Indesit slipped up they should have provided at least a boil wash or a maintenance wash button of a 90deg high water level wash with fast agitation to give it a thorough clean through.

Tom: Nice drawing! I always said i'd have preffered the indesit moon if it was seethru plastic even if it was coloured I think it would've sold better or if it had the hotpoint extendia dispenser in the bottom of the door!
Optima: Thank you for clarifying that! Even if they didn't want the machine to do 90 there should have been a combination of buttons that would trigger a maintainance wash i agree. Darren | ||

Yes 
Its clearly mentioned and also if using ultra thick liquids or cloggy powders to place these directly in the drum, the machine is also supplied with "Spare Sponges" so you can always have a spare dry one!!
A bit faffy and in todays climate of Load & Press to Start, with not to much done on maintenance it was inevitable some would end up in the state shown on washdog - did you notice they all had "Gel" products on top of their machines in the programmes!! We need to go back to dispensers like the old Servis Machines, very smooth sides that flush everything down....just like the Askos... I'm amazed at how many nooks & crannies manufacturers can build into some of these machines, which harbour gunk and dont flush out cleanly... ..Zanussi gets my vote for the worst!! | ||

You can...
Leave it out but the droplets will fall into the door boot, and thats what they are trying to avoid - its like all the condensated water in the dispenser, that usually just falls into the tub... BUT...the reported machines with issues are a fraction of overall sales...so - machine issue or user error??

I'll definitely go with user error!
I don't even blame the liquid detergents like many of you do... I'm mostly sure that the people who suffered these issues were using their machines on a regular basis stuffed full on a 30 degree mini cycle. It's OK to use cold/cool cycle in a front loader every now and again... not time after time!!
I said it many times and I'll say it again... I won't have an Indesit Moon even if it was the last washing machine on earth, however the mould problems reported on watchdog would have happened on the top of the range washer of the highest end brand should the conditions I hinted at above exist... full stop. I still don't understand how difficult it can be for anyone to wipe down the door boot on completion of a cycle before unloading the machine! Mould, bad smells and whatever have you don't just grow on your machine overnight, even if you weren't careful enough to wipe your machine after every single use, surely you would be able to see the first tell tale signs of mould before it could degenerate to that appalling state shown in the show. And don't just narrow it down to the drip-tray sponge because the machines shown were utterly disgusting from top to bottom! | ||
