Speed Queen Washer dispenser not working properly
If your Speed Queen washer dispenser is not working, the most likely cause is low water pressure or a failing water inlet valve. The valve needs at least 20 psi to send enough water through the dispenser, so check household water pressure first. If pressure is adequate, replace the water inlet valve. A clogged, misaligned, or damaged detergent container can also cause a washer not dispensing detergent, while an obstructed or damaged dispenser drawer may lead to detergent dispenser problems or fabric softener dispenser problems. Inspect the dispenser, drawer, and container for buildup, cracks, or incorrect alignment, and replace damaged parts. If your washing machine is not dispensing detergent or the tray retains diluted detergent, bleach, or softener, clean the dispenser compartments and siphon break or siphon tube, which may be plugged. Less commonly, the control board may not send power to the dispenser valve or actuator at the correct time. A multimeter can help verify voltage before replacing the control board. Enter your Speed Queen washer model number to find the exact replacement water inlet valve, dispenser, drawer, detergent container, siphon break, or control board for your specific washing machine.
01 - Speed Queen 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.

02 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen Washing Machine Detergent Container

04 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen 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.
Common
06 - Speed Queen 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.
Common
07 - Speed Queen 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.
