Try 'Goo Gone' to clean the waxy build-up. It worked really well for me. I had the same problem with Cindy from Reading. PA. Tons of waxy build-up in the softener dispenser 'cos I didn't know how to remove the dispenser for cleaning before. Trying to clean the gunk with vinegar only worked marginally for me. What really worked for me was 'Goo Gone', it's great for removing crayon marks, lipstick, chewing gum on clothes, hair, etc. (I'm a Mom!) so I thought I'd give it a try, and Voila! It really works! It helped remove the stuff and then I washed off the Goo Gone with some regular dish detergent. The plastic parts in the washer all came out squeeky clean too! One note of advise, wear gloves for the job.

Vinegar. It will also clean out the soap residue in the washer and drain lines.

I just discovered that you are supposed to clean out that fabric softener dispenser in your washing machine. e washing machine used a few years ago, so who knows how old this junk is!
