Dacor Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap
If your Dacor dishwasher soap dispenser is not opening, start with the parts most likely to fail inside the dispenser itself. A broken dispenser lever is the most common cause of a dishwasher soap dispenser not opening, since it can keep the detergent door from opening or closing correctly during the cycle. Next, check the detergent dispenser cover and dispenser lid for cracks, warping, or other damage that can stop the dishwasher detergent door from opening. A damaged detergent container can also prevent proper operation. If one internal piece is broken and you would rather not take the dispenser apart, replacing the complete detergent dispenser is often the simplest fix for a Dacor dishwasher not dispensing soap. The control board can also cause a dishwasher detergent dispenser not working condition if it fails to send voltage to the dispenser, but that is much less common and should be checked last. For the right repair, inspect each part carefully, then enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Dacor replacement part that fits your dishwasher.

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
