How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the dispenser assembly.
- Access dispenser: Remove the top panel and pull out the detergent drawer. Remove screws securing the dispenser housing.
- Inspect for binding: Check the dispenser motor and cam for detergent buildup or foreign objects preventing movement. Clean thoroughly.
- Test dispenser motor: Use a multimeter to check motor coil resistance. If open or seized, replace the dispenser motor or complete dispenser assembly as per KitchenAid parts list.
- Check position sensor (if equipped): Some models use a sensor to detect dispenser position. Verify wiring and replace the sensor if it does not change state when the cam rotates.
- Reassemble and test: Reinstall the dispenser, restore power, and run a cycle to confirm proper detergent dispensing and that F30 is cleared.
