How to Fix 10-1 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Turn Off Power: For your safety, disconnect the dishwasher from its power source by turning off the corresponding circuit breaker.
2. Remove Inner Door Panel: Open the dishwasher door and unscrew the series of screws around the perimeter of the inner door panel. Lift the inner panel away to access the dispenser.
3. Disconnect Old Dispenser: Take a photo of the wiring connected to the dispenser. Carefully unplug the wire harness. Release the clips or remove the screws holding the old dispenser assembly to the door panel.
4. Remove and Clean: Push the old dispenser out from the front of the door. Clean any residue from the dispenser opening on the door panel.
5. Install New Dispenser: From the front of the door, insert the new dispenser assembly into the opening and ensure it sits flush. Secure it in place with its clips or screws from the inside. Reconnect the wire harness.
6. Reassemble and Test: Place the inner door panel back on and secure it with the screws. Turn the power back on and run a wash cycle to check if the new dispenser is operating correctly.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
