For the past couple of weeks I've noticed that the fabric softener dispenser is filled with water after the wash cycle is complete. The oxiclean/color safe bleach dispenser is also not working right and leaves powder behind. I'm not sure what is going on and it's getting old having to remove the dispenser tray and dump the water and oxiclean powder out. Any idea of what the problem could be? Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Like the older Electrodaires, some other brands use a plastic gear instead of a solenoid to send waterflow to the right chamber in the dispenser tray. After a few years,that plastic armiture guiding the water flow stretches causing it to shift the waterflow. There are adjustible positions you can reset bu moving the armature left or right depending on where you want the water to flow.i had to do it numerous times with my Electromore.

Does it make odd noises, maybe? Found this YT video.
