How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before inspecting the dispenser.

  • 1. Check loading: Ensure large pans or trays are not blocking the dispenser door from opening.
  • 2. Test dispenser door: With the door open, manually latch and release the dispenser to confirm it opens freely.
  • 3. Clean dispenser: Remove any caked-on detergent and wipe the compartment dry.
  • 4. Inspect spray arms: Make sure spray arms are not clogged and can direct water toward the dispenser area.
  • 5. Replace dispenser: If the dispenser coil or latch is faulty, replace the Haier detergent dispenser assembly.

Warning: Do not force the dispenser door open; you may break the latch.
