Should the detergent dispenser always open when it's running?
For model number KDFE104DSS3
Hello Linda, thank you for your question. We have researched and found that the detergent dispenser opens when the control board signals it to dispense the detergent. We hope this information helps!

I turned the dishwasher breaker off and turned off the water supply in case I had to move the dishwasher out to remove the door cover. I removed the screws with a star tip screwdriver on the inside cover of the door. Since I was able to remove the dispenser without completely removing the cover, I didn't have to move the dishwasher out
... Read morefurther. (I had about four inches of room to remove the dispenser). I had to pry the metal flanges on the door cover out a little that were surrounding the dispenser's bottom to bypass the small plastic edges holding the dispenser tight against the door cover. I removed the small wiring connector by pressing the small plastic retainer and pulled out the connector. I had a little bit of trouble removing the two plastic fastener clips holding the wiring to a bracket. I used a needle nosed plier to close the upper plastic tines to pull the clips through the holes. After I removed the old dispenser, I bent the metal flanges on the door cover back in. I pushed the new dispenser into the door cover and made sure I heard the the sound of the metal flanges clip onto the plastic lips of the dispenser. I turned the water and power back on and tested the operation of the new dispenser. The dispenser worked properly.
