Possible Causes

Clogged dispenser siphon, low water pressure to dispenser, gummed-up softener residue, failed dispenser valve (if separate)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer and turn off water before removing the dispenser drawer.

  • Clean dispenser: Remove the drawer and soak it in warm, soapy water. Clean all channels and siphon caps of residue.
  • Clean housing: Wipe the dispenser housing and water jets with a cloth and small brush.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water flow to the dispenser by verifying inlet screens are clean and hoses are not kinked.
  • Test dispenser valve: If a dedicated dispenser valve is used, test and replace it if it does not open during the appropriate cycle.
