Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply.
Inspect dispenser drawer and housing:
- Remove the detergent dispenser drawer completely. Clean out detergent buildup, fabric softener residue, and foreign objects.
- Check that the drawer slides freely and that no plastic parts are broken.
Check dispenser motor (if equipped):
- Remove the top panel to access the dispenser motor and cam assembly.
- Inspect wiring connections and look for signs of overheating.
- Manually rotate the cam (with power off) to ensure it is not jammed.
Corrective action: Replace the dispenser motor assembly if it is seized or does not receive proper voltage when commanded (live-voltage testing should be done only by trained personnel). If the motor and wiring are good, the main control output may be faulty.
