I'm having a problem with the fabric softener dispenser. Recently it has
begun to dribble water out at the very end of the rinse cycle.

The cylindrical unit sits on the head of the agitator and removes fairly
easily. I steamed it with a power steamer, then soaked it in a mild vinegar
solution and will probably even try the power washer since the first two
methods haven't seemed to free it up. The vinegar loosened a lot of junk
but without agitation, it's a very slow process. Will probably run it
through the dishwasher, too.

Any other suggestions for cleaning softener crud from the inside, where I
assume it's gummed up the centrifically activated valve? Doesn't seem to
want to come apart with reasonable force. Model numbers to follow since I
assume one of the end points on the decision tree is either "can't fix it,
need a new one" or "I broke it, need a new one." (-:
