This genuine OEM water supply manifold or tube is specially designed for various models of dishwashers. It fits onto the upper rack of the dishwasher. The manifold distributes water from the main water supply line, through the spray arm, to various parts of the dishwasher where it is needed for cleaning dishes. When the dishwasher is turned on, the water inlet valve opens, allowing water to flow into the manifold. If the manifold is damaged, or no longer functioning properly it will be unable to distribute water to the spray arms leading to uneven cleaning, water leakage, difficulties completing cycles and reduced energy efficiency.

Detergent dispenser latch broken
This repair could be done in under 15 minutes but my dishwasher is so old that there was a lot of gunk built-up around the screws that hold the front cover on that I wanted to take my time cleaning up real nice.
The detergent dispenser is VITAL for getting dishes clean. Without it working properly, the detergent will be removed from the wash during the pre-wash/soak function and your dishes will not come out clean. I HIGHLY recommend doing this repair if your detergent dispenser is not working, and I had a great experience with www.PartSelect.com
