Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Manual first!
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct.
Softener tray
(Sorry, no picture as different washers have different shaped trays!)
It works by siphoning the water+softener over the lip of the pipe/tube (not 'line', sorry) under its cover then out of the bottom of the pipe into the washer. In that way it stays in the tray until it is time for it on rinse. Please note that the pipe/tube has a cover so you cannot see the pipe easily! If I could ask you to read and action the following it should work OK ;-0)
-------------------------------------
Remove the complete drawer. To do this you will have to do one of the following-
Once out identify which tray is for the conditioner- the others are simply 'chutes' and open-ended.
It will normally have some sort of cover over it which you must remove to expose the little stuck up pipe/tube. On some models there is just a small individual cap over the tube but on others the cover is part of the tray's plastic top. The tube is down which the conditioner and water should siphon. It is likely to be blocked by 'gunge'- a mix of powder and conditioner. The whole of the tray, particularly this pipe and the bit which fits over it, must be completely clean and clear for it to operate correctly. It is worthwhile checking fairly regularly.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

See page 33 and 34 of the FAV6800A/FAV9800A Service Manual for Bleach/Softener Dispenser Removal.
The only place I know of to get the Service Manual is at a DIY appliance repair forum like this forum with the Sticky Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW
5th post down has a link to the FAV6800A/FAV9800A SM. Post in that forum if you need additional help and good luck.........D*ick
