Washer does not dispense detergent or softener properly

Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the dispenser if it has electrical components.

• Remove and clean drawer: Pull out the detergent drawer and wash it under warm water, removing all residue.
• Clean housing: Use a small brush to clean the dispenser housing and water jets.
• Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water flow to the dispenser valve; clean inlet screens.
• Test dispenser valve: If certain compartments never flush, the corresponding solenoid on the dispenser valve may be faulty and should be replaced.
