The soap dispenser is a nightmare on this good machine. It's a shame to ruin an OK washing machine with a cheap piece of junk that looks like an after thought. When using dry detergent, the dispenser lets the soap fall on top of the dry cloths. If adding fabric softener, it lets that do the same. Even if you are careful, and do something like program a rinse and spin, the fabric softener tray fills up with water, and you have to remove the whole try to get it dry and continue.
