I would think this is a mechanical opening dispenser, looks far too old to have a wax motor but I could be wrong? My late 90s styled powerclean had the same issue, needed a new wax motor and all was good. Check owners manual if available online somehow, see part diagrams to find out how the dispenser works and go from there someone on here I’m sure will give all that to you.

If cleaning the filter does not solve the problem
You may have a bad dispenser assembly, does the lid still spring open if the dispenser is sticking, you either need to replace the dispenser assembly or take it apart and try to rebuild it. They were not meant to be serviced, but some people have successfully done it.
You may also have a bad buy metal on it. You’ll have to take the other door off and inspect look for burned wires, or a partly broken bimetal latch. John | ||
