Abstract
A dishwasher appliance includes a door pivotally mounted to a cabinet to provide selective access to a wash chamber, a dispensing assembly including a dispenser cup, a dispenser door for providing selective access to the dispenser cup, and an actuating mechanism for moving the dispenser door from a closed position to an open position, and a microphone for monitoring sound generated during operation of the dishwasher appliance. A controller is configured to energize the actuating mechanism, obtain a sound signal generated during energization of the actuating mechanism and/or a power draw from the actuating mechanism, determine that the dispensing assembly has malfunctioned based at least in part on the sound signal or the power draw, and implement a responsive action.
