Step By Step Instructions
1
Before you begin, be sure to turn off the power supply to your dishwasher.
2
With the power off, your first step is to remove the screws from the inner door panel to release the front panel.
3
Disconnect the solenoid wires from the old detergent dispenser, as well as the rinse sensor wire.
4
Now, remove the mounting screws and support brackets securing the dispenser assembly and pull the tabs to release the assembly from the inner door panel.
5
Install the new detergent dispenser by snapping the assembly into the door panel.
6
Position the support brackets and secure the mounting screws.
7
Reconnect the solenoid wires.
8
Because the new detergent dispenser has a mechanical rinse aid indicator, you will not need to connect the sensor wire.

To keep it out of the way, secure it to the wire bundle.
10
Replace the front panel and reinstall the screws.
11
You're now ready to restore power to your dishwasher to make sure it's functioning properly.
