The washer functions just fine except that after the cycle is complete, the compartment in the pull-out tray for fabric softener is filled with fresh water. The other compartments have a very small amount of water in them. It makes no difference if softener was used or not. I checked and cleaned the dispenser tray and housing, and flushed the tube from the dispenser to the drum. Just to be clear, the dispenser does its job as far as dispensing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Did it overflow?

Did it show any error codes?

Nope, no overflow and no error codes. Just full of clean water at end of cycle.

Sounds like the problem is a bad water valve.

Just curious, what could be bad on the valve that would not allow the dispenser tray to empty ? Seems to me that the valve can only fail a few different ways:
Won't open
Won't close
Leaks, so that water flows even when closed
Is restricted so very little water flows even when open

It can be due to a low pressure.

Pressure at the spigot is 55 PSI and the volume seems fine, it is enough to dispense the detergent, bleach and softener every time.
