Detergent tablet or powder remains in the dispenser at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting the dispenser mechanism.

• Check for obstructions: Ensure large dishes or utensils are not blocking the dispenser door.
• Inspect dispenser: Open and close the dispenser by hand to confirm smooth operation. Clean any detergent buildup around the latch.
• Check spray arm alignment: Make sure the upper spray arm is not loose or misaligned, preventing water from hitting the dispenser.
• Replace dispenser: If the latch is weak or the spring is broken, replace the detergent dispenser assembly.
