I get 110V to the motor, so the motor or actuator spring is faulty. Found a replacement part on the Internet for $60 delivered in 2 days.

I would look at the hinge side of the dispenser and see if spring is still intact. When you release the lid, it should snap open without much difficulty so if it doesn't do that, then I would suspect the spring. Hope this helps. Hi Brian, I'm new to this thread but am having the same issue. There are no dishes blocking it to keep it from opening. I have replaced the actual dispenser including the spring. I'm still in the same boat. What's the next obvious step? Thanks for your help! Wendy
