Frigidaire Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap
If your Frigidaire dishwasher is not dispensing soap, start with the detergent dispenser parts most likely to fail. A broken dispenser lever is the most common cause, since it can keep the detergent door from opening or closing the way it should. Next, check the detergent dispenser cover for cracks or damage, then inspect the detergent container and dispenser lid. If one small part is broken and you would rather not take the dispenser apart, replacing the complete detergent dispenser is often the simpler fix. In rarer cases, a bad control board can keep the dishwasher detergent dispenser from working by failing to send voltage to the dispenser, but that is much less likely than a damaged mechanical part. If your Frigidaire dishwasher soap dispenser is not opening or the dishwasher detergent door is not opening, a close visual inspection of these parts will usually point you in the right direction.

03 - Frigidaire 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
