Electrolux Washer dispenser not working properly
When your Electrolux washer dispenser is not working, detergent, bleach, or fabric softener may remain in the drawer or enter the tub undiluted. The most likely cause is low household water pressure or a faulty water inlet valve, which needs at least 20 psi to supply enough water to flush the dispenser. If pressure is adequate, inspect the detergent container for clogs, misalignment, or damage, then check the dispenser drawer for obstructions. A plugged siphon break or siphon tube can also leave diluted detergent or fabric softener in the tray, so clean the dispenser compartments and tubes thoroughly. If the washer dispenser is still not dispensing, the control board may not be sending power to the dispenser valves or actuator at the correct time. Use a multimeter to check for voltage before replacing the board. A damaged dispenser or drawer may also need replacement. Enter your Electrolux washer model number to find the exact replacement water inlet valve, detergent container, siphon break, control board, dispenser, or drawer for your specific washing machine.
01 - Electrolux Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
The dispenser uses water from the inlet valve to flush out the detergent and fabric softener from the dispenser. If the water flow is too slow the dispenser will not distribute the detergent and softener properly. The water inlet valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, replace the water inlet valve.

03 - Electrolux Washing Machine Dispenser
A washer detergent dispenser not working is often the result of low water pressure in the home or a defective water inlet valve not supplying water to the dispenser. However, it's also possible the dispenser drawer is obstructed or damaged and not allowing the detergent to be dispensed. You should inspect the drawer for any obstructions or damage and replace the component if necessary.

04 - Electrolux Washing Machine Siphon Break
Some dispensers use a siphon tube. If the siphon tube gets plugged you may get a diluted mixture of detergent, bleach, or fabric softener remaining in the tray. Make sure the dispenser compartment trays and siphon tubes are clean.

05 - Electrolux Washing Machine Control Board
A washer detergent dispenser not working is often the result of low water pressure in the home or a defective water inlet valve not supplying water to the dispenser. However, it's also possible the appliance's control board is not sending power to the dispenser water valves or dispenser actuator at the proper times. You can use a multimeter to help determine if voltage is reaching these components. If not, the control board will need to be replaced.

06 - Electrolux Washing Machine Drawer
A washer dispenser not working is often the result of low water pressure in the home or a defective water inlet valve not supplying water to the dispenser. However, it's also possible the dispenser drawer is obstructed or damaged and not allowing the detergent, bleach, or fabric softener to be dispensed. You should inspect the drawer for any obstructions or damage and replace the component if necessary.

07 - Electrolux Washing Machine Detergent Dispenser
Most washer dispensers use a water inlet valve to move water through the different dispenser compartments at specified times to dispense the soap or fabric softener. Some models use a diverter motor. If the dispenser is clogged and cannot be cleaned or the water inlet valve is part of the dispenser and no water is flowing through it, the dispenser will need to be replaced.
