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

Safety First: Turn off power before removing the inner door panel if needed.

• Check loading pattern: Ensure large plates or pans are not blocking the dispenser door from opening.
• Clean dispenser area: Wipe away any detergent buildup around the dispenser door and latch.
• Test dispenser door: Manually open and close the door to ensure it latches and springs open freely. If sticky or broken, replace the dispenser assembly.
• Verify spray arm function: Make sure the upper spray arm is not clogged and can direct water toward the dispenser.
