Soap dispenser door doesn't open during cycle of my Maytag dishwasher
Kqon, looks like your dispenser has a wax motor. I think the first thing you have to do is remove the inner door and inspect the soap dispensor assy. See if any of the moving parts are broken. This wax motor is 120V so you can run a cheater cord to it to see if it works, but be very careful when doing this. It will expand the plunger and open the flap. If the wax motor operates with 120V applied to it then you want to see if you have power coming from the timer. It will be the tan wire # 27 on the timer harness. You also want to make sure the spring and pin are in place on the dispenser flap. Your part number for the wax motor is 902899. Catriver.
I have the same problem, but it seems the upper dish tray is in the way, Why? I never noticed it before. Also the dishes aren't getting clean, even after several washes to rid of the soap still in the soap tray.
when I turn on the dishwasher, it does not start in wash, it goes directly to rinse and the soap dispenser does not open
soap dispenser does not open during wash cycle. Maytag model mdb8959aws
the soap container will not open during wash cycle. soap is still in dish after full cycle
