Why is there a small amount of water still in the dispenser after my Kenmore 2600 010 Washer cycle?

  If you notice a small amount of water still in the dispenser of your Kenmore Washer after the cycle, it is normal. However, ensure you are using only HE detergent and measuring it correctly. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions based on load size and soil level. Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash temperature to improve cleaning. Use the Whites and Heavy Duty cycle for tough cleaning, and load dispensers before starting a cycle, avoiding overfilling. Do not add products directly to the load. Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is complete to avoid dye transfer.
