When the plastic spring-loaded latch on your residential dishwasher detergent dispenser cup breaks and refuses to stay shut or release the soap tablet during a cycle, you must replace the door assembly or actuator wax motor. On most modern dishwashers, the dispenser door and latch cannot be purchased as a standalone microscopic piece; instead, you must replace the entire detergent dispenser assembly mounted on the inner door panel. You can troubleshoot dispenser faults easily by checking the spring catch. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when unbolting the inner door panel, swapping the broken dispenser unit for a brand-new OEM part, and running a test cycle ensures the soap door pops open correctly.
