I have a Frigidaire front load washer.. and every load where I use softner.. all three dispensers.. dispense at once.. Detergent.. Bleach and Fabric Softner.. Is this normal ? Do clothes get cleaned properly ?
I thought the Softner would dispense in rinse cycle ?
Thanks for your input !
Is this a good question?

This is not normal. You are correct that fabric softener should be added at the spin/rinse cycle. Without knowing your exact model number, it would be difficult to troubleshoot - which could involve replacing the dispenser tray, the water inlet valves, or the control board.
A simple workaround would be to stop adding fabric softener to the tray, and manually add the softener to the rinse cycle - like I did as a kid. Other option is to use no fabric softener and use Downy (or equivalent) dryer sheets. Because this is a front load washer, you can't use a Downy ball.

Hi.. Frigidaire Gallery Front Load Washer Model GLTF1670AS0
.. Thanks !
Your model dispenses based on siphoning. You can remove the the dispenser by pulling it until it stops and you will see a push tab in the top left side. push down on the tab and it will allow you to fully remove the dispenser tray. You can pull out the dispenser cups and inspect for damage. Make sure the "nubs" on the dispenser tray where the cups insert are not jammed, cracked, etc. If you see no damage, then clean with white vinegar and reassemble.
