Detergent Door will Not Open - Portable Dishwasher

Possible Solutions

Are dishes, utensils, or dishwasher racks blocking the dispenser door from opening?

Items blocking the detergent dispenser will keep it from opening.

  • Load items in the lower rack as directed in the Use and Care Manual to avoid the dispenser door being blocked closed.
  • Make sure water action can reach the dispenser.

Is the detergent old (when using powdered detergent)?

  • Older detergent, exposed to air, will clump and not dissolve well, which causes the dispenser door to stick to the detergent.
  • Replace detergent if necessary and store it in a cool dry place when not in use.
