Fabric Softener Dispensing - Fisher & Paykel WA37T26EW Service Manual

3.14 Fabric Softener Dispensing

TYPE: It is recommended that softener sheets should be used in the dryer rather than using liquid
softener in the washing machine. Liquid softener has been known to produce a waxy build-up
inside washing machines, called Scrud. We do however, provide a fabric softener dispenser for
those who prefer liquids. It is recommended thinner varieties be used over thicker ones as they
dispense more cleanly.
WHERE: The liquid fabric softener goes in the dispenser cup on top of the agitator. The fabric
softener is automatically dispensed into the final deep rinse. In this way the fabric softener and
detergent are separated, as they are not compatible.
Note: When using fabric softener, the Softener/Bleach Rinse option button needs to be
activated.
The dispensing stages
1. Fabric softener remains in the dispenser cup
during the fill, agitate and drain phase of the
wash program.
2. During the first phase of the spray rinse it is
centrifuged out of the cup into the body of the
dispenser.
3. The fabric softener is held hard up against the
sides of the dispenser body by centrifugal force
throughout the spray rinse.
4. At the end of spray rinse the softener drains out
of the dispenser, down the centre of the
agitator where it is dissolved in the incoming
deep rinse water.
Note: To use fabric softener the SOFTENER /
BLEACH RINSE option must be selected on the
control panel.
