Genuine OEM KitchenAid Dishwasher Dispensers & Parts
A lot of times what happens with a KitchenAid dishwasher soap dispenser and detergent dispensers on many other brands is that it gets all gunky and clogged with soap residue. When that happens, your Kitchenaid dishwasher detergent dispenser lid can’t open or close the way it should. Then you start forcing it closed, and that’s how it breaks. Make sure you know if you have a broken dispenser latch, dispenser door spring, or both. You can use our parts finder to enter your model number and find the right detergent dispenser parts for your Kitchenaid model. We can ship the parts out today, and they come with a 365-day return policy! Don’t forget to contact our live chat support experts if you have any questions. Once your detergent dispenser parts arrive, you can watch one of our installation videos to do the repair correctly and then—presto—no more gunk in the dispenser!
FAQs About KitchenAid Dishwasher Soap Dispensers
Why isn’t my KitchenAid dishwasher soap dispenser opening during cycles?
This could be due to a mechanical fault, such as a broken spring or latch, or an electrical issue in the control system. Ensure the dispenser is not obstructed by large dishes and check for detergent buildup around the latch. If problems persist, it may require professional servicing.
What should I do if my dishwasher soap dispenser is leaking?
A leaking dispenser might be due to overfilling, using the wrong type of detergent, or a seal issue. Check the dispenser for cracks and make sure the seal is intact. Replace the dispenser if necessary.
Is it possible to replace the soap dispenser on my KitchenAid dishwasher myself?
Yes, if you’re handy with tools, you can replace the soap dispenser. Purchase a replacement part designed for your model and refer to the dishwasher manual for installation instructions. Disconnect power to the dishwasher before attempting any repairs.
