I have a maytag dishwasher that when the door is shut and begins to fill with water, the detergent door opens immediately every time. The result is dishes are not cleaned.
any help on probable causes?

Hello Scooter10. Make sure the latch for the dispenser door is good. If so, you will need to replace thew control board on the unit. Part number: AP5688868

Hi Jeff,
your compatibility tool says this part you've suggested is not compatible. I agree that it is likely the control board. Can you verify the suggested part and let me know where this board is located?

The part listed above is correct. You must take the door apart to access and replace the board. It is located inside the control panel.

Just remove the screws around the inner door liner and you should be able to access and replace it from there. Make sure the power is off before doing the repair.
