I don't know the solution to this either. Both my Whirlpool, front load washers: old one (15years old) and new one (2 months), the softner itself is always drained into the wash and residual water is there at the end of each wash.

Remove the dispenser tray. Inspect the area just above the fabric softener portion of the dispenser. There should be a series of holes where water feeds into the tray during the rinse cycle. Sometimes these holes become clogged with fabric softener residue. If the holes are clogged, water will never dispense the fabric softener out and it will stay in the tray. If you take some cotton swabs and meticulously clean all the holes out, I bet your problem will go away. Let me know if this was helpful to you.

Same deal - I have to soak up all the residual water in the softener dispenser between washes. (The detergent and bleach compartments are fine).

Hello mab2005,
Take a look at this post regarding removing Fabric Softener dispenser and clean out and see if it helps. The bleach dispenser is a bit more difficult to clean up I did not bother. You can also lift the washer top using this process to make sure the fabric softener and bleach dispenser drain holes are not blocked.
To raise the top of the machine; Insert a flat blade putty knife approximately 2.5” from the left and right sides of the washer top, depress the spring tabs securing machine top to the washer base. See page 33 of the Service Manual for putty knife insertion point. You might find something in the Use & Care section of the service manual that might help, I have never looked.

You may have mold built up as I and other users have, see the attached Pic. If I were going to replace a tub seal I would clean out this mold during that repair process. This is the process I'm going to try sonn and I will let ya know if it works. Start a quick wash once the water fill sequence starts I would pause the washer. I would then remove the front panel (as I show in the pic) and view the tub while I very carefully over fill with water to slightly above the mold ring. I would then throw a gallon of bleach in start a continue the quick wash to agitate the solution for a few minutes pause the washer and let sit for a while. Then continue the quick wash thru the complete cycle. I would not try this until I give it a try I’ll let ya know how this works outs.

The tangle problem is inherent to the machine design with
the tumbler rotation action to agitate the wash
load. Hope this helps.

How to add fabric softner to the amana washer with locking lid

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.

Fabric softner "cup" empties right after I put liquid softner in it.

your cup is most likely stuck in the open position due to buildup of fabric softener. Pour two cups of very hot [200 degrees farenheit] water into it and repeat until it works as it should. J.

FABRIC SOFTNER DOES NOT DISPENCE

Check to make sure the litle cups are set in place correctly and also make sure they are not blocked with hard fabric softner. A quick test: pour water directly into the fabric sofnter cup and fill it up,IF it siphons out, you will need a new inlet valve for that unit. The inlet valve has soliniods on it for the bleach & fabric softner.

Good Luck!

Fabric Softner not leaving dispenser

Run some vinger through it. Fabric Softner leaves a filmy residue that can clog it up.

Softner buildup

Fabric softners are designed to be thich and tacky so they adhere to clothing. Unfortuneately, that also means they are going to do it even worse in an agitator expecially as there is no water to dilute it. When I clean my fabric softner cup, I generally just throw it in the dishwasher and let it run since there are many areas of it that cannot be disassembled. Please make sure to run it in a cycle all by itself without any dishes. Now as to the removal. There are two main types of dispensers whirlpool has used. The first will have a greenish blue ring around it. Simply lift up on the ring and it will pull off easily. Now the second style is a bit more chalenging. While the cap up top will come off just by rocking it back and forth. Once this is off you will find a cup underneath that sits on 4 "pins" To get the bottom peice off, place one hand on the top part of your agitator and use one hand to twist the base of the fabric softner in a counter-clockwise direction. It will allow it to come off. Once you it off, you will be able to see down inside your agitator. There will be more build up underneath. I would recommend wiping this part out making sure to clean the drain holes that go out to the side. If you attempt to remove the clear cap underneath, it is very difficult to get the seal on it to seat back in properly. To help prevent against future build ups, pre-diluting your fabric softner with water ahead of time will slow the build up.
