Amana washer fabric softener dispenser not working

The Amana washer fabric softener dispenser not working for many reasons.

Normally the top-loader Amana washers mostly come with an automatic dispensing system. So, the problem lies in the front loaders which I will let you know.

In this guideline, I will let you know all of those possible reasons and how to fix it.

How to fix Amana washer fabric softener dispenser not working

Let’s guide you on how to fix it below:

A failed or faulty valve of the dispenser parts will not allow the dispenser to empty after the wash cycle.

The inlet hose is supposed to be connected as the washer and water faucets are connected to each other. So, here you will need to check the connection.

Secondly, if you find it damaged then you need to replace the water inlet Valve ASAP to fix the leaking of Amana washer

Thirdly, you need to clean Amana washer

Before that, you can track the situation by the spinning cycle. If it is spinning perfectly at the beginning but later on it stops then the problem lies in old softener is blocking the drain holes.

Here you will need to remove the cup totally from the agitator to clean it. Cleaning is easy all you need to do is to run the hot water.

Clean the clogged valve

You can troubleshoot this cleaning process in a few steps:

Step 1: Run a test repeatedly for 5 to 10 cycles in order to diagnose the error codes.

step 2: When you find no error codes then it might be the dirty valve so clean the clogged valve, if it seems dirty

Step 3: Check the water valve assembly whether it comes with a separate solenoid in terms of both hot and cold water temp.

Incorrect Fabric dispenser parts assembly
