Fabric Softner not leaving dispenser

My LG washing machine model number wm0532hw has a fabric softner dispenser and its not working properly, when fabric softner is added and the cycle calls for it to drain the water mixes with the softner but doesn't drain. I checked the drain holes on the dispenser and everything is clear. If you don't add softner the dispenser fills with water during it's cycle and drains properly.

Run some vinger through it. Fabric Softner leaves a filmy residue that can clog it up.

The fabric softener is clogged with dried up fabric softener on my Whirpool Washer. How can I get it cleaned out?

You really cant take them apart without breaking the dispensers. Fabric softner is basically wax and fragrance. Add very hot water to the dispenser to melt the fabric softner. In the future, water down the fabric softner.

The fabric softner dispenser is clogged. it fills

Pour really, really hot water into it and that should disperse the fabric softerner...then run the washer with NO clothes in it...good luck
