Here's what I have done so far: * I found the service sheet and ran through the diagnostic cycles. * If I'm interpreting the sheet correctly, the only time the DETERGENT / RINSE AID DISPENSER is activated is in cycle 12. The solenoid clearly is energized and the detergent door does open. (I'm assuming this solenoid is also used to dispense the rinse aid at point in some rinse cycle.) Ideas anyone?

It suppose to be between 280 to 340 Ohms. Replace the detergent dispenser assembly if the reading is wrong. It suppose to be replaced together with the rinse aid sensor. Check wires to the solenoid. If there is nothing wrong - replace the control board. - The part number for the detergent dispenser assembly is AP3183112 - The part number for the rinse aid sensor is AP3176640 - The part number for the control board is AP3775964 Gene.
