Possible Causes

Rinse aid reservoir empty, Dispenser lid not closed properly, Jammed dispenser mechanism, Faulty dispenser solenoid

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power if removing the inner door panel.

  • Refill rinse aid: Open the rinse aid compartment and fill with a Panasonic-approved rinse aid until the indicator shows full.
  • Check dispenser lid: Ensure the detergent and rinse aid lids close and latch securely.
  • Clean dispenser: Wipe away any dried detergent or residue around the dispenser that may prevent proper opening.
  • Test dispenser: Run a cycle and check mid-cycle if the detergent door has opened. If not, the dispenser solenoid may be faulty.

Replace the complete dispenser assembly if it fails to open or leaks.
