Kenmore HD Series 70 Washer Softener Dispenser Problem
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." (-: -- Bobby G. |
