Bosch Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap
If your Bosch dishwasher soap dispenser is not opening, the most likely problem is a damaged dispenser lever, which can keep the detergent door from opening or closing the way it should. A broken detergent dispenser cover is another common cause, followed by damage to the detergent container or dispenser lid. If one small piece is cracked or worn, your Bosch dishwasher may not be dispensing soap at the right time, which can lead to a dishwasher detergent dispenser not working and dishes still coming out dirty. In some cases, it makes more sense to replace the complete detergent dispenser assembly instead of taking it apart to replace individual pieces. The control board can also cause a Bosch dishwasher not dispensing soap if it fails to send voltage to the dispenser, but that is less common and should be checked last after the dispenser parts themselves. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the problem to the right fix. Enter your model number to find the exact Bosch replacement part for your dishwasher, whether you need a dispenser lever, dispenser lid, detergent container, dispenser cover, control board, or complete detergent dispenser.

03 - Bosch 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
