Leaking from top soap dispenser, maytag washer mvwb835dc. I tried to pour hot water to clear out blockage, still leaking, slow drip.
@janderson75, It may be that the washer’s hot water inlet solenoid valve is not closing properly due to grit etc. First check if the filter at the washer end of the hot water hose is intact and not broken etc. Then run a hot water wash, hopefully to flush out any debris in the solenoid valve that may be preventing it from closing properly. I don’t know your washer but with a lot or washers, they only do a hot water wash and not a hot water rinse, only cold water is used during the rest of the complete washing cycle. So check the user guide to see if this is the same with your machine. If so you may have to do two or three more “wash” cycles, filling with hot water each time if the solenoid is not clearing and sealing properly after the first attempt. If still no good the solenoid will have to be replaced as they cannot be repaired. Search online for (insert make and full model number of washing machine) parts to find suppliers of the part
Can you explain what is meant by leaking? The dispenser is inside, under the glass isn’t it? So when detergent is added into the dispenser, it is held there until the time in the cycle when a valve opens and the detergent flows into the washing tub/basket. Is it possible you are overfilling the dispenser such that it is overflowing ? Not very much HE detergent should be used with these “newer” machines.
