Default Rinse aid dispenser
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 66515958791
Age: 5 - 10 years

It doesn't seem like the rinse aid dispenser is working. Filled the dispenser about 9 months ago, and it's still full, even tho the machine gets used several times a week.

My question is, how do I check it?

There is no obvious hole or orfice that I can see where the rinse aid liquid would be dispensed from. But there has got to be a hole somewhere... where?

I'm hoping that it's just plugged up and a little cleaning will do the trick, once I figure out just where and what I have to clean.

Unfortunately I do not have a picture type breakdown of your dishwasher.

Does your dispenser look like this one.

Nope, that's not it. The rinse aid dispenser is totally separate from the detergent cup. It's mounted inside the front door. The only thing visible is the fill hole for the rinse aid.

I'll probably have to take the door apart to get a look at this thing. It doesn't look too difficult to take apart... but then nothing is ever as easy as it looks
