Water won't drain out from the spots where fabric softener goes

Hello friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

It is a normal operation to receive water inside the dispenser after draining. This is part of the siphoning action of the drawer. You would just remove the drawer and empty the water out, then reattach the dispenser drawer. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

Remove dispenser and clean the drain hole from under neath try with q tip.sounds gunked up.

You should use HE detergent following the directions for that detergent. You can add liquid fabric softener. Make sure to fill the appropriate compartment to the Min line if you are doing a small load.

I've never used a washer that drained into a sink (always had a stand pipe). However, I suspect that the gummy residue is the excess softener that was removed in the rinse cycle. Try rinsing the sink with hot water after a laundry. This is part of the procedure to clean the inserts and detergent/bleach/fabric softener drawer when you get a build up in the drawer. In the future, use less fabric softener in the washer. Alternately, skip the fabric softener in the washer but use a dryer fabric softener.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about what I found out about the fabric softener notdispensing into the washer...

Fridgidaire Washing Machine Fabric Softner not going intowasher

heatman101

Just wondering by taking the top off & cleaning it would this solution be the same if the fabric softener tray has water in it after washing a load of clothes?

Try cleaning out ..this should cure . the other thing that can cause this is a faulty solonoid valve as some machines have a seperate valve for this action....

clean the caps sometimes they get clogged and cannot syphone

HI. your model has a dispenser solenoid for the fabric softener dispenser on this unit. If the solenoids are out or malfunctioning, it will render the dispenser useless. i recommend checking the solenoids on the fabric softener dispenser for continuity. The resistance should be 1100+- 7%. replacing this blown solenoid will fix this issue. Remember. the dispenser valve will not function without a working solenoid.


please rate and god bless.

take the soap draw out there should b a sign on the draw to press also the top of the sofner compartment comes off u will see a hole where the water goes make sure it is clear put the lid back on hold soap tray under water tap let the water fill the sofner compartment it shoud run out

remove top of machine, there is a arm running across from programe dail, to drawer despenser,its spring loaded it determines which compartment the water gos into,check it
