Possible Solutions Single Load Dispenser Drawer

The single load dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time.

  High Efficiency (HE) detergent compartment

This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for your main wash cycle and automatically dispenses detergent in the cycle. 

Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into the detergent compartment. For powdered detergent, lift the selector to the high position. For liquid detergent, push down the selector to the low position. Do not overfill; adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or scented crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.

 Liquid fabric softener compartment

This compartment holds the liquid fabric softener. It automatically dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle.

    Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

This compartment automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash cycle. It cannot dilute powdered bleach.

See the “Using the Dispensers” section of your Owner's Manual for information on using the dispenser drawer.
