Fix a dishwasher dispenser that won't open, close, or is leaking detergent. This dispenser releases soap and rinse aid at the right time. 45-minute DIY.
As a homeowner, I love that I can just type my model number into Appliance Parts Pros website and find a listing/diagram of the entire unit. So when my dispenser on my dishwasher broke, I just ordered a new one. I use You Tube to watch videos on the specific repair, and then VOILA! I do the repair myself, saving at least a hundred dollars in a repair persons service call charge! While this repair was for my dishwasher, I've also fixed my washing machine, dryer, and steam humidifier. Read more
Fix a detergent dispenser that won't open or close properly with this latch kit. Includes all components for secure closure. 10-15 minute repair.
Appeared to be two problems: the latch was worn and one of the pins that slid in a guide on the actuator located in the inner panel had broke off. Detergent lid spring and pin appeared to be OK but decided to replace since I was aready working on it. I ordered all the inner panel mechanism from the control arm to the latch actuator on the inner panel. The repair was successful as the detergent dispenser now opens during its cycle. Read more

Soap or rinse aid dispenser not opening? This wax motor actuates the dispenser door release. DIYers report 15-30 minute repairs with basic tools.
I found the videos on dishwasher repair that AppliancePartsPros offers and determined the likely cause of the problem. I removed the door cover and found soap caked on the back. I cleaned the cover and switched the wax motors to see if the clean rinse motor was good and ran a tested cycle. No improvement. I ordered two new wax motors for the Maytag dishwasher and those arrived in a few days from AppliancePartsPros. I replaced the old motors and ran a test cycle. The soap tray opened correctly....

Fix dispenser door that won't latch or leaks at the door bottom. This grommet and latch kit stops water leaks. Requires inner door panel removal.
The grommet was old and very caked with old dishwasher scum. So water was leaking through where the soap door latch goes into the door. I replaced the rubber grommet (and the plastic latch that came with the kit, even though the old one was probably fine). Fit perfectly and looked just like the old one. Works like a champ, no leaking! Read more
This is the rinse aid dispenser assembly that mounts inside the dishwasher door and automatically releases rinse aid during the final rinse cycle. It helps prevent water spots and streaking on dishes by reducing surface tension on the water. Replace this part if rinse aid leaks prematurely, the dispenser cap won't stay closed, or your dishes come out spotted despite having rinse aid in the reservoir.

Fix detergent not dispensing or dispenser door not opening with this dishwasher dispenser shaft kit. Repairs broken or worn dispenser mechanisms.
I bought a new one and installed it. I had to buy a set of small Torx drivers to remove screws holding front panel. Wish I'd known to have very small hex wrench to remove 6 screws holding soap dispenser. It was also quite a juggling act to hold the front panel on the dishwasher door steady and put the screws back in. However, the new dispenser works perfectly! Read more
