How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the inner door panel.
- Inspect dispenser door: Check for physical obstruction or detergent buildup preventing the door from opening. Clean thoroughly.
- Access dispenser assembly: Remove inner door panel screws to expose the dispenser. Inspect the latch and spring for damage.
- Test actuator or wax motor: Disconnect the wires and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed actuator that must be replaced.
- Check wiring: Ensure the harness from the control board to the dispenser is intact and connectors are secure.
- Replace dispenser assembly: If the actuator or latch is defective, install a new detergent dispenser assembly compatible with your Crosley model.
