I have to wring out my cloths before putting them in the dryer (a real drag). Also when I put bleach in the dispenser it does not go into the wash, I have to put in a cup of water in order for it to go in. The fabric dispenser still works well. Is this an easy fix, I really can't afford a new washing machine. Does any one know whats wrong and what part numbers I need to fix this. Thanks

Strange to say, the door lock mechanism , called a wax motor, can be the cause of your problems, and if not it is going to be the cause of problems in the future. You should change it out. As far as the bleack dispensor is concerned, see if cleaning out the dispenser assembly and the line to the washe will help. Here is the service manual. Good luck. http://www.servicematters.com/m...ibrary/docs/16010061.pdf

Take a look at it and if you see any burnt areas or burnt resistors then you will have to replace it. If it looks ok, try just replacing the wax motors. If that does not fix it, then you will probably have to replace the board. Replacing these parts is a very common activity with your model, but once it is done the machine should be just fine. Also, now that you have the manual you can see how to take out the dispensor and check that. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
