[FIXED] Dispenser not opening

Everything else seems to be in perfect working order but for the Detergent Dispenser not opening. Ive looked up the OEM part #00645208 or PD00000045. Im inclined to order your part but am wondering how much dis-assembly of the door may be necessary and if I am able to replace this part easily or not. Does the dispenser pop out or not? Would you replace the dispenser or the control unit?

Please see the two attached images below for the instructions on how to replace dispenser part # 00645208 (PD00000045). It is much more common for the dispenser to fail than the control unit. We recommend to replace the dispenser first. Let us know how it works with the new dispenser installed.

Thanks for your quick response to my question. I intend to take your advice and by just the dispenser first. The attachments 329 and 330 will not open. I take it those were the instructions. If i take off the screws to the inside of the door and go from there is it pretty straight forward? Thanks again...

Sorry about that. I fixed the attachments in my previous post now, try them again.
