So last night, I inspected the cup and white cover piece, and neither object was clogged. Then I took out the detergent drawer, removed the blue covers and washed the entire drawer assembly. I'll eventually get some laundry going and see if this still happens. |

My asko was doing this except it would be found when I was about to start a load. At first sporadically and then regularly and on the detergent side...I had a water valve starting to go out. Replaced and none since. Now my softener cup will occasionally have some left in it, especially if it's been "water hammering" during the final rinse thus interrupting the siphon action. |

So I did some laundry over the weekend. I found this happening in the middle of one cycle.

LG'S run water in spurts, especially during Wash fill and the last Rinse. If enough water doesn't come in to start the syphon some will be left in the cup. No big deal, mine does it about half the time. Just dump it in tbe drawer before adding more soap. |

I always pour in detergent and other additives just before starting the washer (meaning I add them before turning on the machine and selecting the cycle and options). I have done delay starts on some rare occasions. If I use detergent pods, I'll have to remove the cup. |

When you use detergent pods, you should toss it in the drum with the clothes (unless you do a pre-wash). My feeling is (and I could be wrong) there not enough water flow thru the dispenser to dissolve it completely during the initial fill. This post was last edited 04/30/2016 at 11:22 |

What I meant was that I need to remove the cup from the drawer during operation to prevent the water "issue" from happening. I have never had problems with a pod not dissolving completely. |

I have an LG washer...the 3570...and I do get water in the detergent dispenser cup, but nothing like that. If one opens the dispenser in the middle of a cycle, then yes you will find water like that in the cup. The washer runs water into that part and the prewash part of the dispenser all the time, at least mine does. Then when the last deep rinse comes, it will flush the softener from the softener dispenser, and run water thru all compartments to flush it clean. If you have low water pressure like on a well, or you just have low house water pressure, it might cause the issue you speak of.
The water pressure I have here at my home is very high and I have water hammer arrestors inline with my fill hoses because of the water pressure. Without them and with the way the washer rapidly opens and closes the valves, I would lose my toilet valves, water heater and whatever else gets affected. |
