Not sure how the bleach dispensing works, but it appears water is coming from the hose under where you put bleach in, but not draining into the tub directly under that.

Looks like the hose ref.# 24 goes to the tub and the top of the hose attaches under the splashguard, ref.# 8. You just pour the bleach into the cup under the lid and it runs into the tub. Need to see if the hose has come off the splashguard or broken off of the tub.

Thanks for the diagram. Hose #24 is attached but not draining into tub, and as water comes from the bleach hose (part# 8055326 from "top and cabinet parts" diagram in manual), the little cup in ref#8 overflows. This happens during draining of the tub before the spin cycle.

Thanks for any help. wildwill

Got a dog? Been to the beach recently? These dispensers are notorious for getting clogged up with pet hair and/or sand. Pop the top off and clean it thoroughly.

Well, the hose (ref#24) was not draining from the cup in ref#8, so while the machine was off we filled cup with drano max and it slowly but surely ran through. Also followed that with hot hot water. We ran 2 loads with no overflow so far. I'm sorry but I don't feel safe yet.
