Open the front door of the washing machine. If you have a front-loading washing machine, you’ll need to look on top of the machine to access the softener dispenser. Most front-loading machines have a drawer or slot for fabric softener under a lid on top of the machine, next to the drawers for laundry detergent and bleach. The washing machine will take over from here, releasing the fabric softener during the final rinse cycle. If you’re using an older washing machine or a machine at a laundrette, you may need to add the fabric softener manually just before the rinse cycle. Fabric softener can also be used if you’re hand washing your clothes. Background song: Rebecca Black feat. Dave Days - Saturday (Instrumental).

After the wash cycle is complete, the fabric softener compartment in the drawer has some residual softener and water remaining up to the 'max' line. If I raise the level
in the compartment by adding water the siphon begins and drains the water and remaining softener out as it should. So the drawer itself is not the issue. What controls the
sequence that introduces the water into the compartment? Is there a spray nozzle or something else that could be clogged? I tested the drawer over the sink and it takes a considerable
amount of water to completely siphon all the softener out of the compartment. It almost seems like the machine is not supplying enough water to accomplish this. Just looking for a little
insight before I start taking this thing apart. Thanks for your help.
