Product Description

DETERGENT MODULE Specifications

The detergent dispenser in your dishwasher stores the detergent until it is ready to be dispensed. If your dishes are not coming clean, or you notice the detergent is still in the dispenser at the end of the cycle, you may have a damaged or malfunctioning detergent dispenser. This detergent dispenser is not sold with a sensor. It is gray in color and is sold individually. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Hi Dennis, thank you for contacting us. According to our research, the latch striker is near the detergent module, and it may be loose. If this does not help, we would recommend checking the door latch, part number PS6447681, the latch striker, part number PS8690622, and the electronic control board, part number PS12726418. We hope this information helps!

The detergent tray wouldn't open during wash cycle
1. Pull out dishwasher (not all the way) 2. Open the door. 3. Remove the white rope holding the door hinge (both sides) 4. Remove the door by pulling up when the door is open about 4-8 inches. 5. Lay the door on the floor ( put something under the door so not to scratch the front. 6. Remove the small bolt at the bottom of the door (both sides). 7. Slide the hinge back, up, then out. 8. Where the hinges were are another set of bolts, remove those (both sides) 9. Grab the top part of the door (the part with the buttons) and slide apart. 10. Remove the styrofoam carefully. 11. Disconnect the wiring harness. 12. Remove the 6 screws holding the Despenser tray in place. 13. Put in new Despenser tray and put everything back together.

Dispenser no longer opened during wash cycle
Very straight forward. After removing the power source the dishwasher was pulled forward enough to access the the door hinge springs. Then the door could be removed and the inner skin separated to access the the dispenser mounting screws.

soap did not dispense correctly
Followed video instructions step by step.
I was fortunate i had enough slack in water, electric and discharge lines to avoid disconnecting.

Two wrinkles
1. wire clips on my door had to be pulled/pried loose from door and there were two not one

2. could not slide dishwasher out after lowering adjusters and figured out it was the mounting tabs bumpimng the granite countertop, thus the use of putty knives to slide the dishwasher out.
