Electrolux Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap
If your Electrolux dishwasher is not dispensing soap, the problem is usually in the detergent dispenser itself, not the electronics. Start with the most common causes: a broken dispenser lever, a damaged detergent dispenser cover, or a cracked detergent container that keeps the detergent door from opening correctly. Next, check the dispenser lid for wear or damage. If one internal piece has failed and you would rather not take the dispenser apart, replacing the complete detergent dispenser is often the simplest fix. A bad control board can also keep the dishwasher detergent dispenser not working, but that is much less common and should be checked last since control boards are often misdiagnosed. If your Electrolux dishwasher soap dispenser is not opening or your dishwasher is not dispensing soap, inspect these parts closely for binding, cracks, or obvious breakage. To make sure you get the exact replacement dispenser lever, dispenser lid, detergent dispenser cover, control board, or full detergent dispenser for your machine, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com and match the part to your specific Electrolux dishwasher.

03 - Electrolux Dishwasher Control Board
The control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the control board, it might not send voltage to the detergent dispenser, preventing the dispenser from opening. However, this is not likely the case. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the control board
