Kenmore Washer Dispenser Problems
We have a Kenmore 90 Plus top loading washer that's about 6 years old. It's
mechanically sound and has never required a service call. Both the bleach and fabric softener dispensers are holding water in the reservoir where you pour the product in. We occasionally use bleach, but we have never really used the fabric softener dispenser. Possible causes, remedies?

Hi,
Model#? Kenmore 90 Plus isn't it! http://www.applianceaid.com/model.html Some model# helps. Both the bleach and fabric softener dispensers are holding water in the reservoir where you pour the product in. Possible causes, remedies? Clogged hose(s), bad solenoids, bad fill valve are -some- possible trouble makers. jeff. Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ |

Shows several miles ( slight exaggeration ) of hoses that may need to be flushed out to help the filling water run into the washer. You should be able to see some breakdows from below... http://tinyurl.com/6kd79 I'd try a cleaning out first to see what happens jeff. Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ |

Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ Hey, thanks, Jeff! Yes, there seems to be "miles" of hose! The diagram is very helpful. There doesn't seem to be any problem with the water coming in, but there's always some left after the cycle. Maybe a good cleaning will do it. I have a steam generator type cleaner. Could that be helpful in the process? Also, can you tell me if this type of cabinet top is one held in the front just by clips, or is it screwd down tight? Thanks, again! -- Wayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 |
