Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer before removing the dispenser assembly.
Step-by-step checks:
- Clean drawer: Remove the detergent drawer and thoroughly clean all compartments and siphon caps. Remove any hardened detergent or softener.
- Inspect housing: Check the dispenser housing for buildup blocking water flow.
- Check dispenser motor: Access the top of the dispenser housing and locate the dispenser motor or diverter. Verify the wiring is intact and the motor is not jammed.
- Test motor: With a multimeter, test the motor for proper resistance. If accessible, apply test voltage per service manual to confirm movement.
When to replace: Replace the dispenser motor or entire dispenser assembly if the motor is seized or open. Persistent F30 with good components may indicate a control board issue.
