Jack for Model Number Maytag MDB8959AWB5 Dishwasher I replaced the soap dispenser(since the dispenser door would not open and dispense the soap).After running a complete cycle, the dispenser door does not open on the new dispenser. Do I need to replace additional parts? Please help. Thank you. Jack.

You'll need to run the diagnostic test mode, and check for 120 VAC on the wires to the dispenser solenoid with a multi meter.
