No voltage to soap dispenser actuator

Tested the soap dispenser actuator and it tested good. Ran a complete cycle with a volt meter hooked up to soap dispenser actuator wires and did not get any voltage. Not sure if this is a control board problem.

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi.

If you are not getting 120VAC to the dispenser - replace the control board [PART]WD21X10366[/PART]

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Escutcheon & Door Assembly parts for GE GHDA690P00BB - AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

Hey Simon,

I hate to bother you again but my soap door is still not opening. Worked the first time but not since. I ran the cycle again with the volt meter hooked up and it is getting 120 volts to the actuator but for only 1 minute on a stop watch. When I test the soap door hooked directly to 120 volts it takes 1 minute 22 seconds for the actuator to open the door. Is this a normal time for the actuator to work and should I be getting voltage to it for more than 1 minute?

Thanks Wayne

Hi.

Checked all possible sources with no luck.Nobody mentions for how long the wax motor is energized.
You should replace the dispenser

and return the control board back if you got it from APP.

Thank you.

Simon.
