GE WSXH208AWW doesn't dispense detergent, softner or bleach. Dispenser is totally dry after wash cycle.Appears no water gets to tray.

Answer This Question
  • Anonymous Apr 18, 2010

    I don't know how the dispenser works but I thought water had to get to the trays to desolve the detergent. Also from experimentation it appeared to me that water has to fill the bleach and softner trays so the level rises above max level to the point the liquid dispenses. Not sure how dispense occurs but it looks as though some type of siphon. Since nothing was dispensing I cleaned and dried the trays and ran a cycle with nothing in the dispenser. Afterward the trays were still dry which indicated no water got to them which I assume must happen in order to dispense the trays when something is in them. If this isn't the case how does dispense occur on this front load washer.
    Thanks
    Tim

I'm having almost the same problem - the bleach & softener both will NOT dispense, but (LUCKILY) the detergent does dispense on mine, for now.

In order to get the solutions (bleach, softener, detergent) to go into the washer, the water needs to pour through the dispenser somehow. Dry means NOT working (mothmanmeg).

I need help, too!! We tried taking the drawer out & cleaning, no luck.

Soap dispenser overflowing with water
You will have to pull the dispenser tray out and clear any debris. I've seen a sock in one (who knows how that got there,) toys and even a glob of laundry detergent pods leavings.

I do most of my shopping online and liquid bleach sometimes doesn't ship without breaking. Is it OK to use dry or powder bleach? I have the whirlpool cabrio top load large capacity model.
It should be okay to use dry bleach, if you follow the instructions on the bleach. Some bleaches require dissolving in water first, others can be used dry.

Just purchased daewoo washer DWD-WD1353RC..it seems the fabric softner is not dispensing and the detergent is barely used. I understand this machine usesHE detergents but it is using very little detergent...
this washer has different detergent concentration levels settings. 1.By holding delay wash then power button at the same time, while unit is off. then a C1,C2,C3 are main detergent concentration settings C1 being regular HE detergent and C3 being very concentrated some detergents tell you X2, X3 S1,S2 are softener B1,B2 are bleach 2. Then use buttons Delay wash to scroll for main detergent Extra rinse for softener Bleach for bleach 3. power button to exit and confirm
hope this helps also in manual and to clean tanks, Manual says to call a 1800# or find the instructions on the web. I've had this washer for a week no problems yet

I have a maytag neptune TL washer. The last few washes, the fabric softner and liquid bleach do not empty in to the wash...they just remain in their dispenser. Can you help?
it could be mold.

try pouring bleach in each compartment and running it twice like this

and once after with no detergent bleaches or anything, just a normal wash on hot

this should help, if not u have to either clean the dispenser or replace it.

Bleach and softener dispensers filled with water at end of cycle
Yes, remove the dispenser tray by pressing on the button on the softner and pulling out tray completely. Now lift the flap over the softner compartment and clean thourougly with hot water, making sure all tubes and holes are free from residue softner/detergents. Replace flap by making sure the bigger tube fits OVER the smaller tube and click into place. Replace tray. Water is present due to the "syphon effect" of the dispenser not working, caused by residue detergents blocking the tubes/holes. Oshie
