The Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Actuator Assembly opens the dispenser cover to release detergent and rinse aid during the dishwashing cycle. If the detergent assembly of your dishwasher does not dispense the detergent properly, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dishwasher and novice repair experience. Remember to unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner* (item W10282479) to help remove limescale and mineral build-up that can be unsightly and affect your dishwasher’s performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
