Why is the fabric softner filling up with water once softner is dispensed.
Have to remove water to put softner in
For model number 11027132410
Hello Vern, thank you for getting in touch. During the rinse cycle, the washer floods the compartment with water to push the fluid level above a built-in siphon tube. This action automatically creates a vacuum suction that pulls all the liquid down into the drum. If the siphon tube or its removable cap is blocked by thick, gooey softener buildup, the suction fails, leaving the flush-water trapped inside the cup. Remove the dispenser drawer. Look closely at the fabric softener compartment. There is a small plastic cap or cover fitted directly over a vertical plastic tube. Pull or snap this cap off. Soak the entire drawer and the cap in a sink filled with hot water and white vinegar for 10 to 15 minutes. Use an old toothbrush to scrub away the residue inside the small tube and underneath the plastic cap. Turn the drawer upside down and ensure the drainage hole at the bottom is completely clear of debris. We hope this helps.

DIY'er working on a Maytag Centennial type washing machine should be aware that replacing a a transmission or agitator due to worn out splines is only half a job done well. I originally replaced my transmission due to worn splines, only to discover later that the worn agitator splines caused the new transmission splines to wear out at an
... Read more accelerated rate. Transmission and Agitator should be replaced together, along with a new Agitator mounting bolt. There are plenty of video's online of how to do this repair so I won't get into that here. Just wanted to drop the above sage advice. Transmissions for these washers aren't cheap.
