Possible Causes

Clogged softener siphon cap, Blocked dispenser water jets, Incorrect loading of softener above max line, Low water pressure to dispenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the dispenser drawer.

  • Clean siphon cap: Remove the softener compartment insert and wash it thoroughly, clearing any dried softener.
  • Clear jets: Inspect and clean the water jets above the dispenser with a small brush or toothpick.
  • Correct dosing: Do not fill softener above the MAX line; overfilling prevents proper siphoning.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure adequate water flow to the dispenser as described in E02.
