Soap drawer exit hose blockage (Candy CNA145)?

I have a blockage in the drawer which I discovered after water leaking from the drawer at the start of a wash. When I removed the drawer from the machine, water was still sitting in a pool inside. It's the hose in the bottom of the drawer compartment leading down into the machine.

I have given it a good poke inside with a toothbrush and bottle brush, yet there's no budging the water. There does seem to be bubbling when I pour hot water in to replace the water I syphon out though. I think it's undissolved powder blocked solid in there.

Is there a better way of unblocking the hose? It's gonna be painstaking to try and dissolve it all without a route through.

Thanks in advance.

removing the lid on the washing machine gives better access to the hose with a old towel under the hose to catch the spillage undo the clip connections and remove hose, poke out the old powder residue/gunge till clear check also the hole that enters the drum(with a torch ) as the blockage could be further down and filled back up the pipe, when happy the pipes are clear reattach pipe and tighten the clips and watch machine fill ,check for leakage,if o k power off and refit the lid .
Better way is to use a wash ball filled with the powder inserted in the drum each wash
