How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before working on the dispenser assembly.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Remove and clean drawer: Pull out the detergent drawer completely. Clean out detergent buildup, softener residue, and foreign objects.
- 2. Inspect dispenser housing: Check for obstructions that could prevent the dispenser motor from moving the diverter.
- 3. Access dispenser motor: Remove the top panel and locate the dispenser motor on the side or top of the dispenser housing. Inspect wiring and connectors.
- 4. Test motor: With the motor disconnected, measure coil resistance. If open, replace the motor. If you can safely apply power (per service manual), verify that the motor turns.
- 5. Reassemble and test: After cleaning and replacing any faulty parts, run a test cycle to confirm the error is cleared.
