My detergent drawer will not dispense the fabric conditioner. I have thoroughly washed & rinsed it so it appears perfectly clear. Do you have any suggestions?
See the causes and remedies:
Most dispenser problems are due to being gummed up with detergent,
fabric softner, bleach residue, and water deposits. First check the
dispenser drawer by pulling it out of the dispenser itself. To do this
push down on the tab in the back and remove. Check that all is
thoroughly clean. No holes blocked up. Now there are several types of
dispensers out there but most have holes in the top where it dispenses
hot or cold water to the appropriate area. These holes can become
plugged up. If you have really hard water I would say replace the
dispenser if it is gummed up bad. Otherwwise remove the dispenser
and thoroughly clean it out. Before doing this check the solenoids that
allow water through the dispenser. The solenoids can be checked with an
ohmeter but if all is clean and the solenoid does not open to allow
flow replace the unit or solenoid. Connect your ohmeter and refer to the
tech sheet or service manual for the proper reading. You can also check
for voltage going to the solenoid. If you have voltage when each
solenoid should be working, example: When the machine should be
dispensing fabric softner, The solenoid that allows water to flow
through that area should have voltage. If it does replace the solenoid or unit.

You can pull out the dispenser. Just apply a bit of pulling power and it comes out. When you get it out, you can pull off the middle section that has a small overflow dispenser bit - you'll know it when you see it - that is the clogged bit. You need a flexible thing to clean it - a curtain wire did it for me. Good luck.

Re:"when any program is chosen it goes straight from washing to draining"
That usually means that either there is a filling problem, or that the pressure switch must be replaced.
If water pressure from house is less than one bar or more than ten bars, it will go straight to drain.
Disconnect and connect back power by disconnecting power cord or tripping the circuit breaker.
Move the appliance and cehck the inlet hose at the back, ensure that it is not kinked or blocked.
This machine may also have a flow meter attached tio inlet valve hose,Check if there is a flow meter and filter attached to the hose before valve, in case remove it using plyers and replace the filter.
If that does not fix the problem, then internal parts must be tested.
Testing will start from inlet valve, to check pressure switch and finally the timer board.
