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

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

Steps:

• 1. Check loading: Ensure tall items are not blocking the dispenser door.
• 2. Clean dispenser area: Remove detergent buildup around the latch and hinge.
• 3. Verify spray coverage: Confirm spray arms rotate freely and are not clogged.
• 4. Test dispenser: During a cycle, listen for the dispenser release. If it never opens, replace the detergent dispenser assembly.
