Possible Cause
• Make sure detergent insert is properly located and fully seated. Never
put detergent above max line.
• It is normal operation to see detergent leak on door gasket about 20
seconds after filling the dispenser.
• Monthly clean the dispenser drawer to remove buildup of chemicals.
• Make sure to have the correct amount of softener or bleach.
• Make sure softener and bleach cap for dispenser are seated or they
will not work.
• Laundry detergent packets should not be used in the dispenser.
They should only be added directly to the wash basket following the
manufacturer's directions.
• This is normal. Drain sump is detecting an undesired water fill level
from a potential open faucet. Shut off water valve and inspect water
valve for blockage.
