Frigidaire 5304507354 Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Assembly OEM Part

This was a pretty easy fix. Removed the screws around the perimeter of the inside cover of the door and pressed the outer door cover upward to release it from slots retaining it. There are four wires to remove (2 for the detergent door release and 2 for the rinse agent release). Removed the 6 screws retaining the dispenser assembly and inserted the new one. Reassembly is simply in reverse order. Problem solved for less than the cost of a service technician's call!

Easy repair that took about 15 minutes.

I replaced the circulation motor, which with the video was extremely easy. While I was under there I replaced the drain pump too just because the washer is 17 years old - purely preventative since it was cheap. I also replaced the dispenser, again, while I was in there..... The whole job was a snap, there is really nothing much under there and it all is easy to access. With the video to give a few hints like “just snap that tab off because you will replace it anyway” I’d say anyone can do this repair.

Surfed the web, got advice, ordered the part, shut-off the electric power, disassembled back panel of door, removed wires for old switch and installed onto new electric door latch. Reassembled door panel - it is a little tricky, need some patience to get it all together, but it does go easily.

Replaced heating element and soap dispenser. The videos on how to do the repair are awesome. Made the job much easier.
