The detergent door dispenses soap immediately upon starting the dishwasher, not on second wash cycle as it is supposed to.
For model number MDBH949PAW1
Hi Elaine,
Thank you for your question. If the dispenser door is not opening on the second wash cycle, the issue maybe with the wax motor. The wax motor acts as a solenoid when activated by the dishwasher’s timer or control, and the piston operates the mechanism that will release the catch for the dispenser door. To test the motor, Disconnect your appliance from the power source before beginning.
Depending on your model, you will need to remove the external door panel or the internal door panel in order to access the wax motor, which will be located near the detergent dispenser cup. Remove the wax motor in order to test it. Using a multimeter on the Rx1 setting, touch the probes to one terminal each to test it. If you receive a reading of infinity, the motor is defective. The wax motor for your dishwasher is sold with the dispenser. If it malfunctioning, you will need to replace it. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
