Dishwasher does not dispense detergent; tablet remains in the dispenser at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before removing the inner door panel.

• Check for obstruction: Ensure large plates or pans are not blocking the dispenser door from opening.
• Inspect spray arm: Confirm that the upper spray arm rotates freely and is not blocked, as it helps dissolve the tablet.
• Access dispenser: Remove the inner door panel to expose the detergent dispenser assembly.
• Test mechanism: Manually open and close the dispenser door to check the latch and spring action.
• Electrical test: If fitted with a solenoid, check for continuity across its terminals. Replace the dispenser if the solenoid is open-circuit or the latch is broken.
