[LG Washing Machine] Fabric Softener Dispensing Too Early

Troubleshooting

Let's find out more.

Fabric softener may dispense early if you fill the dispenser past the MAX line.
Closing the dispenser drawer too forcefully can cause the fabric softener to splash and dispense prematurely.
High water pressure can also cause splashing and early dispensing.
Opening the dispenser drawer while the washer is filling with water can also lead to premature dispensing.

Try this.

Did you fill the fabric softener dispenser past the MAX line?

➔ Fill the fabric softener dispenser to the MAX line or below, and close the dispenser drawer gently.

Overfilling the fabric softener dispenser past the MAX line can cause it to splash and dispense during the wash cycle.
Use the recommended amount of fabric softener and close the dispenser drawer slowly to prevent spills.

Is the water pressure too high?

➔ Adjust the water pressure by turning the water faucet.

High water pressure can cause splashing during the fill cycle, leading to early dispensing of fabric softener.
If the water pressure is too high, slightly close the water faucet connected to the water supply hose to reduce the pressure.

Did you open the dispenser drawer while the washer was filling with water?

➔ Do not open the dispenser drawer while the washer is filling.

Fabric softener is dispensed only during the final rinse, regardless of the number of rinses selected.
Opening the dispenser drawer during the fill cycle can cause water to spill into the fabric softener compartment, leading to premature dispensing.
