We have the very same problem. Extremely frustrating, will not dispense bleach for the load intended, then it releases bleach for a load - causing bleaching on colored fabrics.
Are the plugs correctly connected to the terminals of
the INLET VALVE ASSEMBLY? Check the wiring on the
dispenser.
Check also that there is no build up of softener in the supply tubes.

hi there remove the soap drawer then remove the cover over the softener compartment you will more than likely find a blockage in the cover siphon or the down tube on the drawer

This is absolutely normal and you dont have to worry about it..
The reason for this:
The fabric softener compartment uses an over flow method to get the
fabric softener out of its compartment and into the wash load. Water
comes up underneath through a syphon tube and gently fills the fabric
softener dispenser and causes it to over flow in its diluted state. The
reason for this is that it is the most effective way for fabric
softener to be diluted prior to hitting the clothes in the drum. Fabric
softener has to be diluted before coming into contact with fabrics.
This is in contrast to how detergents dispensers work which simply
flush the soap powder in to the drum by water being squirted on to it
from above.
It is perfectly normal to have a fabric softener dispenser full of
clean water after the wash cycle. Just lift and empty it out when you
need to fill it with fabric softner for your next wash

SOURCE: Kenmore front load washer will not dispense fabric softner
I've had this same problem and solved it by removing the detergent/bleach/softener dispenser drawer from the machine and seriously cleaning out all of the "gunk" from the drawer and from inside the drawer area on washer. Sometimes I have had to repeat the cleaning and then the fabric softener begins dispensing again. I have model # 417.43042200 but it may work on all the Kenmore front loading washers.
Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about what I found out about the fabric softener not dispensing into the washer...
