Hello all again, I wanted to make a new thread regarding an issue I’m not very familiar with as how to resolve, I’ve not been able to find any videos online at the least.The powerclean Whirlpool I bought for Christmas last year has had a problem for years as the previous owner told me, in which the detergent cup does not flip open during the wash, yet the rinse aid still dispenses during the final rinse. It’s not been a huge deal for me but I would like to fix it, I am just unsure about this particular part of this machine. It’s certainly the dispenser in the door itself, it’s not a spring issue I’ve tested that and the spring is perfect. So if anyone can give me any input I’d appreciate it!!

No the door entirely does not open, not even a flick sound when it’s supposed to flip open second cycle. So I will use that literature to look and see what I can do, since there’s no repair videos or anything helpful out anymore regarding these older machines. I’m sure it’s an easy fix, of course can’t be anything as simple as the spring. The manual included didn’t show anything about my dispenser.
