I only use bleach or softener on very rare occasions. So I was puzzeled when I noticed the two dispenser cavities filled with, presumably, water one day. Prior to the start of the cycle I removed the water with a towel so that they were almost dry. Now, I didn't check when they cycle ended (silly me) but when I went to do the next load there was water there again. I have tried depressing the bleach button to no avail. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
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
I have a 4-6 month old Bosch with same problem (being new unit I am positive there is no buildup in drain). Have called Bosch, not much help. Called repairman (under warranty), replaced a water inlet valve, didn't help. I noticed that if you add water to the dispenser cell that is partially full it will begin to empty (syphon effect),, but will never totally empty (can't due to the design). So, the problem must be that the water that is designed to flow into the dispenser cells during wash cycle for the purpose of flushing, is not always getting there. Can it be fixed? Call Bosch.

After each load of wash is finished I noticed the water softner dispensor filled with water. I took this part out and soaked it hot water for an hour and then put it back in, but it still filled up with water. I had service come out and they said they would replace the part because they have cleaned them and still had to come back again for the same problem. They put the new dispensor in and it is still filling up the water softner part with water.
I have the same problem with water remaining in the softener slot after the wash is done. I removed the divided portion and cleaned it but will try to clean the area below it (appearently there is a flap) as I'm sure there is a build up of residue that is clogging the line.
I have the front load washer. There is water that stands in the bleach and fabric softner dispensor. What causes this? Will I need to get a repair person in to fix this issue?
