The water isn't filling into water softner for setting up
Depending on the washing machine, it is supposed to have a gizmo inside the softner housing that triggers the water during the rinse cycle to flow into the softner dispenser. Sometimes, they go missing or are clogged with hardened softner. Open the door fully open and carefully prize the entire housing out. Clean it with hot water and put it back in. Some machines require the slide in tray be raised about 70 degrees (most common) and then pull out, others require a downward angle.
