I would like to know if the entire dispenser needs to be replaced or just the dispenser door.
Maytag dishwasher soap dispenser opens too soon.
The detergent might still enter the dishwasher but not during the proper part of the cycle.
It s unlikely but the door of the dish soap dispenser can break.
There should be a small thing inside the dishwasher called a float this is a sensor that stops the dishwasher from filling if it thinks it is full.
When the right time comes in the cycle the spring triggers and pops the soap dispenser open so that hot water jets can instantly cause suds and blast the soap around the dishes.
If you notice soap left in your dispenser cup you may be loa.
It will possibly be released too early.
