 I have sought help with this machine here before and received that help with gratitude. Got this machine from a kitchen where it wasn't used, but the pump was sheared. Everyone here helped me convert the drain manifold to a gravity drain and it has worked wonderfully for a number of years.
Now, the detergent dispenser doesn't open on the main wash. Any leads on a replacement dispenser? I opened the front panel and can't see any problem. Might be the solenoid. If anyone has a replacement for the detergent dispenser from a donor machine or any leads, let me know.

Unlocking the secrets Nothing is wrong with his handle.. that is what it looks like when it is open. It is straight across in the horizontal position when locked. And I will leave it at that! LOL | ||

I dug out the KA parts boxes last night and looked for the solenoid you need but only had the bad one I pulled from my KDS-14. There is one (three) on ebay, but a bit spendy.

Hi Fred! My KDS 15 had the same trouble, I took the solenoid apart and took the plunger out and polished it with steel wool and it works like a charm...might be worth a try. | ||

 Hmmmmm, I'll have to remember that part number. Those are the best detergent dispensers (because they are relatively small) for mounting on the side of the dishwasher if you are building a window-door dishwasher.
Yay Fred N, glad you found the part easily! That dishwasher has been so fun to use at your house! | ||
