    Mine does that too. I have learned to put smaller things in the front and larger things (like upright plates) at the back and it seems to be working well.

      I wish it was that easy, but mine slides vertically rather than flipping out so there’s nothing blocking it from opening. It seems to be the internal mechanism that isn’t doing its job.

        A Bosch, huh? My dishwasher’s detergent dispenser is identical, and for me it works fine.

        I don’t think your problem is that it works poorly as designed; I think your problem is that it’s straight-up broken and needs to be repaired.

        Mine has that damn sliding mechanism too. What I found is that the track it slides on can get gummed up with detergent and get stuck. I really wish it had the swing door instead!

        Also the dishwasher’s racks already have parts of the coating on them broken and the metal inside is rusting. Really annoying!
