Fagor Dispenser Door / Actuator Fault

Rinse aid or detergent dispenser does not open during the cycle; tablet remains in the cup.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken dispenser latch, Faulty wax motor or solenoid actuator, Jammed dispenser door due to overfilling, Control board not energizing dispenser

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 dispenser: Remove the inner door liner to access the Fagor detergent/rinse aid dispenser. Check the latch and spring for damage.
Actuator test: If fitted with a wax motor or solenoid, measure its resistance. An open circuit indicates failure.
Replace dispenser: Install a new Fagor dispenser assembly if the latch or actuator is defective.
