Possible Causes

Too much detergent, cold water only supply, clogged dispenser, overloaded drum, hard water interaction with detergent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off water and unplug before removing the dispenser drawer.

  • Reduce detergent: Use less HE detergent and consider liquid instead of powder in hard water areas.
  • Use warm water: For heavily soiled loads, use warm instead of cold to improve detergent dissolution.
  • Clean dispenser: Remove and clean the detergent drawer and housing to ensure proper flushing.
  • Do not overload: Leave space at the top of the drum so clothes can tumble and rinse properly.
