Thanks to this video, this was one of the few times I was able to complete a ten-minute appliance repair in ten minutes :)

Awesome! Nice job fixing it yourself!

Your a very good teacher...thank you!

[@PartsDr]

You're welcome!

Great video, could you explain replacing just the spring? The spring and gasket came out of mine. I’ve got it all cleaned and the gasket back in, but I’m not sure of the positioning of the spring.

[@PartsDr]

This dispenser isn't designed to be taken apart, so we do not have further instructions on how to disassemble it. Let us know if you figure it out.

@cordeliah9501 can you post a pic of the spring, mine has gone missing and not sure which one to order

[@adebisisanyaolu5905]

Thanks for the great video! I couldn’t find the technical data on this part; If you know, what’s the ohms reading range that should be expected of a functioning unit? This is in order to figure out if it’s working as per step 1 of this video: ua-cam.com/video/oPWSOnDSfBw/v-deo.html

You can check the tech sheet of your dishwasher to see if they list that information. You can locate the tech sheet here: ua-cam.com/video/oo22E5_QiEM/v-deo.html
