This detergent and rinse aid dispenser is an important part in your dishwasher. It is located on the inside of the door and it holds and releases the detergent during the wash cycle of your dishwasher. The cover of the dispenser has a latch mechanism which is controlled by the electronic board or the timer. The latch releases to open and dispense the detergent at the proper time during the cycle. Overtime the mechanism might wear out, or the latch might break. If your appliance will not dispense detergent you will need to check this part. Make sure the part it free of debris, and that the hinge can move freely. If there is nothing from preventing this latch from releasing and the dispenser door from opening, you may need to replace the dispenser.

Spring assembly on detergent and rinse aid dispenser broke so the sliding lid would not operate
Here are the steps you need to take to do the job properly:
1. turn off electrical circuit breaker to the dishwasher 2. remove 8 total hex screws (3 on each side and 2 at the top) of the inside door panel. The door panel will slide off so be careful and it happens pretty quickly when the last hex screw is removed. 3
... Read more. unplug the wiring harness to the detergent/rinse aid dispenser 4. you need to use a flat head screw driver to lift the metal flanges on the top and bottom of the detergent/rinse aid dispenser. 5. the unit will pop out toward the inside of the dishwasher 6. insert the new detergent rinse/aid dispenser and very important all metal flanges are pulled back over the plastic edge (top and bottom) of the dispenser unit. The screw driver needs to be used to assist in pushing the dispenser unit as tight to the frame of the door to ensure the metal flanges grab hold and lock in. 7. re-attach the wiring harness 8. re-install the dishwasher door with 8 hex screws. Doing this step alone is challenging as the door frame will want to keep going up to close. I used a small foot stool and placed it inside the dishwasher front area on top of the inside metal door area so the door would stay open roughly half way. I then used my knees to prop up the outer door cover while i got 2 screws started then was able to easily complete the job. 9. run the dishwasher with a detergent packet loaded into your new dispenser. I checked for 15-20 minutes during initially running to insure no issues or leaks. 10. One last note - my Bosch dishwasher had a custom wood door installed to the outer panel to blend in with our kitchen cabinets. The door itself was much heavier as a result. Some of you may not experience the slight difficulty i noted above in step 8. Good luck.

My Bosch dishwasher goes through a lot of rinse aid. It seems like it is either a problem with the gasket inside the dispenser or it also seems that the door for the rinse aid does not close tightly. Can i just replace the door on the rinse aid dispenser or do i need to replace the entire soap/rinse aid dispenser?

When Rinse Aid is added and door is closed, Rinse Aid leaks from between door inner panel and Rinse Aid Dispenser.
Can this be solved with a cover replacement or does entire detergent / rinse aid dispenser need replacing? (Detergent dispenses as needed on time.)
For model number SHX68T55UC/02
Hello John & Leilani, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend the lid part# PS8727395, or the seal-part# PS8730291. Good luck with your repair.

My dishwasher keeps draining and won't continue on to fill no matter what setting i use. I had recently cleaned the drain and ran thru a cycle empty. Has not started normally since.
Hello Monica, thank you for inquiring. The issue may be with either the Water Inlet Valve or the Pressure Switch. We will need the model number for the dishwasher to locate the correct replacements.
