Detergent Fill Dispenser




By beaty4nc on Jan 27, 2008

I have a Kenmore Elite dishwasher. The detergent fill dispenser no longer opens during the wash cycle, so dishes are not getting cleaned well. What should I do?

Same Problem

-   My dishwasher is a Maytag jetclean series 01, model # VU304, serial # 218223 . The dish degertent dispenser won't flip open. I am not sure when it is supposed to do so during the wash, so I go ahead and flip it open manually during the final wash (when I remember to do so).
Hope this is an easy fix@
Thanks loads-   rorjo

The dispenser is usually controlled by an actuator of some type. This can consist of a small electric wax motor, switch or mechanical assembly. Some dispensers come equipped with an actuator as one complete assembly, while others have separate components that can be purchased separately. I would need your complete model number (located somewhere along to door opening) to be sure what type you have. I can locate a part number for you and give you some guidance on how to make the repairs yourself, if you wish to pursue this on your own and avoid the cost of a repairman. Post back with comments and let me know. I hope this helps you.
