The dispenser is not supposed to open when you
use the Rinse program.
Your dishwasher detergent should be fresh and
stored tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Old or caked
detergent should be thrown away because it will not
dissolve properly and will leave a gritty residue on
the dishware.
Wait until you are ready to start the dishwasher to
add the detergent.
If you are using the Delay program, make sure the
dispenser is dry before adding the detergent.
The detergent compartment only opens in the main
wash programs, not the Rinse program.

hardness in your area then refer to the chart on page

Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid dispenser.
Spilled rinse aid could cause oversudsing and lead
to overflowing. Wipe away any spills with a damp
cloth.
Make sure the dishwasher is level. (See the
