The detergent flap is likely faulty.this quite easy to replace.unplug first.remove the front panel by screws allong the side when the door is open.the doorskin or panel may be a bit stuck to the inner door skin due to foam insulation that melts & sticks them together a bit.after removed you can see the rear side of the soap container,there should be screws to undo it,just remember where the couple of wires go.Goodluck!
2 types of methods to open detergent door. 1) Thermally. Rotors turn and spray hot water onto plastic structure then it would open thermally.Check and ensure the rotors are clean and free to turn. 2)Electrical solonoid is used on some.

such as a cookie sheet or a pan can prevent the door from opening. Run

rely on an internal timer to complete the wash cycle properly. When
this timer malfunctions, certain steps in the wash process (such as the
release of soap from the detergent dispenser) can be interrupted. If
the dishwasher detergent door is either not opening or appears to be
opening late in the cycle, this is likely the mechanical culprit. A
broken timer isn't something that's simple to replace without knowledge
of dishwasher repair, so it's best to consult a professional if you
suspect that this is the problem. 137 views
