Bleach can be placed in your middle compartment, where you would normally pllace your fabric softener.

SOURCE: When I put bleach in

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I suspect that it is the conditioner/softener (bleach?) tray which is causing water to overflow from the dispenser drawer so it needs a thorough clean,
paying particular attention to the sentences in BOLD ;-0)
-------------------------------------
Remove the complete drawer. To do this you will have to do one of the following-

  • Top catch- push down the lip/catch at the middle rear and pull the drawer out (that's how our Bosch one is removed)
  • release the catches underneath (our daughter's Indesit) or
  • lift upwards on the tray as it is coming out to clear the lip underneath.
One of those should enable you remove it
???
Once out identify which tray is for the conditioner- the others are simply 'chutes' and open-ended.
It will normally have some sort of cover over it which you must remove to expose the little stuck up pipe/tube. On some models there is just a small individual cap over the tube. The tube is down which the conditioner and water should siphon. It is likely to be blocked by 'gunge'- a mix of powder and conditioner. The whole of the tray, particularly this pipe and the bit which fits over it, must be completely clean and clear for it to operate correctly. It is worthwhile checking fairly regularly.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

SOURCE: no bleach dispenser in my new wash machine

Use a container, such as a plastic milk carton, and dilute your bleach before adding it to the tub. I wait until it has finished filling with water before adding. The diluted bleach/water mix will not hurt colors. I add about 1/4 cup to a couple quarts of water, actually putting the bleach into the container and using the water flow to mix it thoroughly.

What do I do to stop the rusting?

Stop using bleach in the dispenser. Just put it in the tub after your wash machine has filled with water. The problem is, bleach eats away at the enamel and metal and if you don't have it sufficiently diluted with water, then it eats away at everything---really fast!

I have deep rust appearing around the bleach port. machine is only one year old. WHY is it rusting ?????

Samsung does not recommend the use of chlorine bleach in this machine. The bleach port is intended for color-safe bleach only. Chlorine bleach is an oxidizer that will accelerate the corrosion process of the drum, which is what you are probably seeing. The users guide for your machine states specifically that you SHOULD NOT put liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach port.

How to clean my washing machine Electrolux Front Loader

Hello -


First rub some bleach around the door gasket. Let this dry. Next rub some vinegar around the door gasket. Let this dry. (Do NOT mix the bleach and vinegar) Then run a hot empty load of bleach in all three dispensers. Put 1/2 cup of bleach in the detergent dispenser and fill the softener and bleach dispenser to the max fill line with bleach. Once that is done repeat the process with vinegar. Please make sure you run a load of towels or some sort of items that will not matter if you get a little bleach on them once this process is done.

Water in the bleach dispenser

The bleach dispenser is a syphon system. When you put in the bleach , it fills the reservoir to a point just below the syphon point. Your bleach tray has a tube attached to it, with a loose cap around the tube that causes the bleach to be delivered to the washload when the water is added. Remove the cap over the tube in your bleach tray. You'll also note a similar arrangement for your softener dispenser. Clean both caps and tubes. Make sure that the caps fit properly back down over the tubes. The syphoning effect will work only up to the point that the circuit is broken by air. If your cap sits up too high, the syphon effect is broken early, leaving residue (water) in the dispenser.
Best regards, --W/D--

There is extensive rusting around the liquid bleach receptacle of my four year old stackable Maytag washing machine. Am constantly removing rust and painting over with appliance paint. Rust reappears in...

I can not respond to the whitlpool ceo but I can tell you how to fix your problem.

Go to the hardware store and get a small container of a product called naval jelly. Paiint this on the rusty area, let it sit for thirty minutes and wipe away all of the rust. Next paint the area with rustoleum primer followed by rustoleum paint.

Whirlpool bleach dispenser not dispensing properly

It sounds like the bleach dispenser is clogged or has a crack in it. What we do, is when we bleach our clothes and I know that this is extra work, but we wait until the washing machine is full of water, then add the bleach directly to the wash.

Kenmore elite washer model 20952992 pouring water

We had the same problem. The bleach dispenser tray is located on the drum below the bleach storage pan. The dispenser tray has very small holes that were plugged by rust from the hose clamp that attached the dilution water supply hose to the bleach storage pan. I removed the top of the washing machine to discover the problem, but it may be solved by attaching a flexible tube or small hose to the end of a vacuum cleaner hose and cleaning out the dispenser tray. There is room between the dispenser tray and the storage pan and is located in the front right corner.
