The top part (not the fabric softener cup) of my Roper top loading washing machine came out when I took a blanket out of the machine. I tried reassembling the agitator, but, it doesn't fit correctly. I was looking for a diagram to see how it all goes back together, but, I can't find one on the web.

If there is no dispenser, fabric softener will have to be added into wash basket.

I have the exact same problem, Speed Queen washer, top loader. The machine still has some fabric softener in the cup, but the more irritating problem is the puddle of softener underneath the finished load. I had bought a SQ because they seemed old school and I thought it would mean problems would be simpler to repair.

I have the same question but have not find a manual or any other reference that tells me whether this model has a softener dispenser or not. However, I just found this info: http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Fabric-Softener-Dispenser/8575076A/1195942 which is linked to roper washing machine RTW4340SQ0 parts list. It looks as if the washer doesn't come with the softener dispenser as original equipment but that you can buy this dispenser at repair clinic and just assemble it to the agitator as shown in the video that you will find in the link

check to see when and where you are to add the softener read the manual for tips look in the trouble shooting guide

Check and see if there is a cup in the top of the agitator. Some machines have you put it there, turning back and forth during wash doesn't bother it, but the spin to empty the wash water causes the softener to go out through slots in the top of the cup and be held in the agitator. when it stops the softener drains into the tub, ready for the rinse cycle.

Gently remove the fabric softener cup off of the top of the agitator
Using a ratchet, an extension and socket; then remove the retaining bolt under the fabric softener cup.
The agitator will lift off after the bolt is removed.

Installation is:
Drop the agitator in place. Install bolt.... tighten bolt with ratchet, extension and socket. Install the fabric softener cup.

Pull off the softener cup
remove the small cap
unscrew the bolt
remove top half of agitator
replace the plastic DOGS

We had the same problem. You have to remove the part that the softener goes in and clean it. You will be amazed at how much build up is in there. That solved the problem for us.

i had this same problem. if you just twist the top of the cup it should just come right off.

My husband just fixed ours after not seeing a solution on any other site. He pulled out the dispensing unit and pulled off the blue plastic piece on the top of the fabric softener and bleaching section. He then ran warm/hot water (not boiling hot) through the holes where the fabric softener is suppose to flow through. This cleaned out excess fabric softener that had coagulated in the elbow and blocked the flow of softener to the unit.
