Possible Causes

Blocked upper spray arm, Low water temperature, Faulty detergent dispenser door, Incorrect loading blocking dispenser

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing spray arms or working near the door latch.

  • Check loading: Ensure large plates or pans are not blocking the detergent dispenser door from opening fully.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove and clean the upper and lower spray arms to ensure strong water jets reach the dispenser area.
  • Verify water temperature: Run the hot water tap at the sink before starting the dishwasher so incoming water is warm.
  • Test dispenser door: Start a cycle and listen for the dispenser opening. If it does not open, replace the detergent dispenser assembly.
