To allow the cavities to empty, the cover of the detergent
drawer cover has tubes molded into it that fit over the
tubes in the cavities.
These tubes are larger than the tubes in the cavity and
are designed to fit over the tubes, but not touch the bottom
of the cavity when the cover is installed. When water is
added to either the bleach or fabric softener liquid, the
mixture level rises above the tubes in the cavity and flows
into the washer tub. Since the end of the tube on the
insert does not touch the bottom of the cavity, a siphoning
action will start when the solenoid activates and allows
water into the cavity. The added water creates an “overfill”
condition and starts the siphoning. The cavity will empty
itself when the water is turned off by the solenoid.
The bleach dispenser channel receives water from the
left-hand input, as viewed from the front of the washer.
The bleach channel forms a path that allows the water to
pass over the bleach section of the cavity
drawer.
As the water pass over the bleach section, holes in the
cavity allows some of the water to enter and mix with the
bleach.
This raises the mixture level above the tubes in the drawer
bleach cavity allowing the mixture to flow into the tub.
Like the detergent channel, the flow of the incoming water
is more than the holes can dispense. The excess water
backs up into the channel across the rear of the dispenser
and flows into the tub.
