I removed the front panel and checked the little dispenser motor and it ohms about 270 or so.Must be in the control board?

the Dispenser may just be a bimetal latch triggered by a resistor heater.
You may be able to supply 120v (and wait) to check it ...

or maybe it's just a 2-wire non-polarized plug ...

It's not a good picture, but there's an AC 120vac plug underneath the cord bundle. The alligator clips clip onto the spades of the wax motor. Wax motor isn't polarity sensitive so it doesn't matter which clip goes on what spade. Clip, plug, play!

You may want to test a device / or connect the hot lead to a device that should already have (hot) power.. In some applications, it may be good to know that the red clip is on the neutral wire ..
