SOURCE: Soap powder remains in the soap compartment
Depending on which compartment the powder is remaining in, it could be low water pressure causing the problem.
If it is taking some down, but not all the powder, then try putting the powder towards the front of the compartment.
If all else fails then I suggest you get one of these dispenser balls that you put straight in the drum with the washing.
Plz rate this solution.
thanks.

Try running 2 cups of white vinegar into it and run it for two cycles

fill the tub with only water! use pinesol and bleach! half a gallon of each run through wash cycle 3 times before ever letting it spin out! then complete all cycles that should do it! if not them you need to remove and clean under tub and re install

you can only change the seal as this is a common fault with low tep washing

Disconnect all power to the machine first!!
1 Locate the
outer clamp band securing the seal to the door rim on the washing machine and
examine it carefully for holes or tears. Many can be prised off with a
flat-bladed screwdriver they have a spring system holding them, but some have a
tensioning arrangement that has to be loosened.
2 After
removing the outer
clamp band, locate the inner one securing the seal to the drum and
establish how this is secured. It may be necessary to loosen a clip, or you may
be able to prise the band off with a flat-bladed screwdriver. Some are like
very large Jubilee clips that you have to undo usually from the top.
3 Once the
clamp bands have been removed, use both hands to pull the seal away from the
inner drum rim. Some machines have a water spout holes that will have to be lined
up. Others have a drain holes.
4 Rubbing a
drop of washing up liquid into the groove on the door
seal/gasket that locates on the drum makes fitting the new seal easier.
5 the new washing
machine door seal should be fitted by locating the drain holes at the bottom
of the seal first then push it on with both hands working opposite directions
towards the top. This is quite hard if you have never done it before.
6 refit the
inner band remembering this must be tensioned correctly for it to be water
tight.
7 now fit the
outer band and the test the machine for any leaks,

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France
Sorry but I don't know your particular machine- I mostly answer front load problems but ' out of balance' is a common problem with both! The following will cure.
It is necessary to ensure absolutely that the machine, even when empty, has all 4 feet very firmly on the floor, and I mean firmly ;-0)
Doesn't matter whether it is empty or not but switch it off then-
very firmly push one front corner diagonally into the centre of the machine (sorry about my UK spelling!) and see if the machine moves or rocks AT ALL, even the slightest. If it does you will need the open-ended spanner which came with the (new) machine........which of course went missing a long time ago?!! An adjustable spanner will suffice.
Adjust the foot under that corner downwards until it is very firmly- almost pushing- against the floor but not so far that the corner lifts up!
If this corner did not rock do the same to the other.
Once you cannot rock the machine the slightest little bit, screw the locking nuts up tight to the underside of the machine so that they will not move. Ideally the rear feet should also be locked.
If this has not cured the problem it is possible that the internal drum suspension is malfunctioning but I've not had any feedback of this nature.
Good luck,
John C
